In view of the growing need to significantly reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions, automated, energy-saving technologies are becoming increasingly important in public and commercial buildings and in public spaces. In addition, refurbishing and retrofitting existing buildings is becoming increasingly important.
The legendary Theben quality ("Fit and forget!") has been extensively tested: While the product standard only requires 5,000 switching cycles for time switches and 20,000 for twilight switches and automatic staircase lighting switches, we test our products with 40,000 switching cycles! maximum load!
In many cases, it does not always have to be a comprehensive high-end solution that requires high investments and long project timescales. After all, a lot can often be achieved with a small amount of time and a limited budget. Here we present some clever and high-quality examples of how energy-saving and convenient building technology can be implemented easily, quickly and cost-effectively in municipal and commercial environments:
Daily and weekly programs offer maximum flexibility. The top3 operating concept simplifies the application considerably. Whether you program the timer on the device, on a PC or via app is entirely up to you. By the way: The top3 operating philosophy applies uniformly to all top3 devices. This makes operation child's play - no matter which top3 device you use.
Digital time switches from Theben offer you maximum security in many respects:
Protection against tampering: The programme OBELISK top3 app can be transferred to the device via a Bluetooth low-energy dongle. This protects against tampering - especially if the time switches are installed in unsecured rooms, such as in schools.
Security in the event of a power failure: The devices offer a whopping 10-year power reserve, ensuring long-term functionality even in the event of a power failure.
High reliability: "Fit and forget" is the feedback we get back from many customers. The renowned Theben quality with maximum durability and reliability continues to set standards.
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is an important quality feature for checking the flawless functioning of the devices. In many areas, Theben devices are tested at considerably higher test levels than prescribed by the product standard!
One advantage of astronomical timers over conventional timers: They calculate the different times of day and night throughout the year and always switch on at the right time. This means that energy is only consumed when it is actually needed. In addition, the lighting can be switched off at fixed times using a night switch-off function.
Another advantage: thanks to unchanged connections for different generations of Theben Astro clocks (including timers and twilight switches), older devices can be replaced quickly and easily with the latest models.

To ensure flawless programming worldwide, Theben top3 devices are already equipped with 18 languages ex works. A further 12 languages can be downloaded!

Our astronomical time switches can also be used, for example, to implement partial shutdowns of street lighting and set up a maintenance run!
LED lamps generate very high inrush currents. Our digital timers, astro timers and staircase light timers are proven to work even at high inrush currents of 800A/200µs!
Even though digital technologies are becoming increasingly popular, analogue timers from Theben still play an important role for many customers worldwide – and for good reason:
Easily programmable: Programming analog timers via switching segments requires no specialist knowledge and can also be carried out by semi-skilled employees.
Simple for everything: Our analogue time switches can be used almost universally and are perfect for a wide range of applications.
Simply reliable: "Fit and forget" also applies to all analogue Theben products. It is not uncommon for them to be in reliable use for several decades.
Our synchronous motors are extremely durable: some motors in our test center have been in continuous operation since 1983 (!!)!
Enjoy maximum flexibility: thanks to the universal adapter plate, twilight switches from other manufacturers can also be replaced with the LUNA 126 star E if required!
Would you like to combine a push-button and a motion detector in an existing circuit? No problem with theMura S180-100 motion detector.
With the ELPA 6 plus, you can not only control the lighting in stairwells, corridors and basements, but also circulation pumps for heating systems, cisterns or irrigation systems, for example!
