Panasonic Automatic Time Switch

Automatically Turns the Power On and Off

The Time Switch combines a clock with a switch to automatically turn power on or off at preset times. It is generally built into a lightboard or distribution panel, and controls electricity on a 24-hour or weekly basis. It makes it possible to replace conventional manual control with automated, reliable ON/OFF time management.

Simply Set the Time for ON/OFF Control

Time management consists of simply setting the times to turn the power on and off. A wide range of uses are possible across various operations, such as lighting, air conditioning, water supply, and livestock feeding.

Example: Managing electricity in the office

From 8:30 AM to 12:00 AM: Turn the power on at the start of the workday. Lighting and air conditioning are turned on to provide a smooth start to office work.

From 0:00 PM to 1:00 PM: Lunchtime. Lighting and air conditioning are turned off while people leave the office for lunch. No power is wasted.

From 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM: Lighting and air conditioning are turned on precisely when lunchtime ends. Then the power is automatically turned off when the workday finishes. Again, no power is wasted.

Eliminating Electrical Waste Is Also Ecological

Because the power is reliably turned on and off according to a preset time schedule, the amount that was wasted by extended use is saved, and electric bills are effectively lowered.

Cutting Labour Costs Is Also Efficient

Since the job of turning the power on and off is done automatically instead of manually, you can assign your valuable human resources to more important jobs. Human error is also eliminated, so power management is more reliable.

Thorough Quality Control

In addition to advanced functions, Panasonic focuses its manufacturing efforts on providing high durability and performance for many years of reliable use, and selects materials with full consideration of the global environment. Certification by third-party institutions and compliance with a wide range of international standards attest to these efforts. This approach is also used with Panasonic's Automatic Time Switches, to allow customers worldwide to experience a new level of comfort and safety for the control of electric equipment.

Meeting IEC Standards

Panasonic's product design has been recognised and certified by many international organisations worldwide, such as the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission), the top reference for electrical and electronic safety standards. Our Automatic Time Switch has successfully passed and complies with the IEC730-2-7 directives to provide safer and more comfortable use of our line-up to our customers.

Products Compliant with the RoHS Directive

Panasonic's manufacturing processes are based on management standards for chemical substances by complying with the EU RoHS directive in order to provide all of our customers safer products with less impact on the environment.

Example of Use

• Example 1: Factories
  Time Switches are at work in a wide variety of applications, including production lines, air conditioning systems, and lighting equipment.
• Example 2: Public Infrastructure
  The number of people in towns and cities varies depending on the time of day. Time Switches enable waste-free management of lighting and other equipment.
• Example 3: Offices, Residences and Commercial Facilities
  Time Switches can be used to save electricity during the times when lighting and air conditioning are not needed, like at lunchtime and late at night.
• Example 4: Agriculture and Livestock
  Time Switches can be used to automatically supply food and water at appropriate times each day, to increase working efficiency.

Easy Operation Check

A power lamp is located on the front panel, so the user can see at a glance whether the unit is operating or not, thus helping to provide safe use. ?

Easy Battery Replacement

With conventional time switches, the unit must be removed from its installation location, such as in a distribution panel, to replace the batteries. Panasonic's Time Switch lets you easily replace the batteries from the front panel. This makes maintenance considerably easier. ?

Preventing Entry of Ants and Other Small Insects

Time Switches are sometimes subject to the entry of ants and other small insects, which can cause malfunctions. Panasonic Time Switches have an airtight construction that prevents this problem for long, trouble-free use. ?
