Timers and Controls
“With the speed of change and the huge number of smart devices and products being developed, it can be easy to overlook the traditional products that are still in demand.”
The range also includes Astro Switches also known as solar switches, which automatically adjust the on and off times to match sunset and sunrise times. A selection of Standard Switches completes the range. These are often used to control heating, ventilation and door entry systems.
Bluetooth-compatible
The latest development in this category has seen the addition of a Bluetooth-compatible range of timers to the DIN Rail Time Switch collection. This range is designed to offer convenience and versatility to the user and broaden the product category reach to a wider potential market, where it will help manage costs in residential, commercial and industrial applications. It uses Bluetooth technology to programme the timer and is compatible with Android and IOS and applications that include lighting, security, heating, ventilation, irrigation and horticulture.
As well as Bluetooth communication, these
time switches feature zero-crossing technology supporting up to 600W LED load. This technology protects the relay contact and extends service life, therefore helping the lighting controls to match the long lifespan of LED lighting systems. As advancements in technology continue to drive new product development, it is essential that
both the professional installing the products and the wholesaler supplying them do their research to stay up to date with the latest products and trends. Manufacturers have their part to play by ensuring that they provide easy access to product training and support for the contractor and wholesaler.
