The Finder Astro Digital Time Switch (12.A2.0.024.0000) is designed for professionals managing automated lighting or power control systems, offering precise astronomical timing to align with sunrise and sunset. Its key benefit is the automatic adjustment for daylight saving time and simplified programming via a joystick or smartphone app. A potential caveat for some users might be the 12-24V AC/DC power supply requirement, which differs from standard mains voltage.

An astronomical time switch automatically controls electrical loads based on the predicted times of sunrise and sunset for a specific geographical location, without the need for external sensors.
You can set the location either by entering the postal code or by using city coordinates directly on the device via the joystick and LCD, or through the Finder Toolbox app using NFC.
The 6-year backup power ensures that all programmed settings and the internal clock are maintained even if the main power supply to the device is interrupted, preventing the need for reprogramming.
No, this specific model (12.A2.0.024.0000) requires a 12-24V AC/DC power supply. It controls loads at 250VAC but needs a low-voltage supply for its operation.
Each of the two changeover contacts can handle a maximum of 16A at 250VAC (AC1 rating). The maximum switching power at 230V AC1 is 4000 VA.
You can use an NFC-enabled smartphone with the Finder Toolbox app installed. By touching your phone to the time switch, you can transfer existing programs, read out settings, or program new schedules wirelessly.
Yes, the device supports weekly and daily scheduling alongside the astronomical functions. You can also set offsets to adjust the astronomical switching times earlier or later.
Verify the 12-24V AC/DC power supply is correctly connected and providing the appropriate voltage. Check all wiring connections.
Confirm the programmed time and location are correct. Ensure the astronomical program is enabled and not overridden by other settings. Check the load connections.
Ensure your smartphone has NFC enabled and is positioned correctly over the NFC area of the time switch. Close and reopen the Finder Toolbox app. Ensure the app is updated to the latest version.
Double-check that the correct city or postal code was entered during setup. Verify that the automatic DST setting is enabled if applicable to your region.
Ensure the connected load does not exceed the 16A/250VAC rating for AC1 loads. For inductive loads, ensure the maximum inrush current (120A for 5ms) is not exceeded.
