An astronomical timer switch is a device that controls lighting and other devices based on the sunrise and sunset times. Unlike regular time switches, which operate solely based on set times, or automatic flashers that respond to ambient light, astronomical timer switches adjust for the changing daylight hours throughout the year, ensuring accurate operation without manual resetting.
These switches are versatile and find applications in various fields:
Used to control outdoor advertising signs, ensuring illumination at night and conserving energy during the day.
Ideal for streetlight management, they automatically turn lights on at night and off at sunrise, saving power and improving efficiency.
Beneficial for security lighting, enabling automatic operation in response to changing light conditions, enhancing security, and deterring unauthorized activities.
Suitable for outdoor events and seasonal decorative lighting, allowing for automatic and timely lighting control.
Astronomical timer switches typically include a timer/control circuit, a switching mechanism, and a user interface:
These circuits are pre-programmed with sunrise and sunset times, controlling the operation of the switch accordingly.
Inside the unit is a relay or switch to control lighting, isolating the lighting circuit from the timer switch circuit.
Features buttons and indicators for easy setting adjustments and status monitoring.
Considerations for selecting the right switch include:
Choose based on the required operational frequency, such as daily or specific days of the week.
Select based on the available installation options like panel or rail mounting.
Consider the number of circuits needed for control. For multiple circuits, using several units may be necessary as options with three or more circuits are rare.
