The new digital time switches from ABB
D Line. Simply precise
D Line digital time switches
D Line is ABB’s new range
of digital time switches.
An exclusive design, featuring
a backlit white LCD display,
plus extremely simple use with
two-line text menus and only
four pushbuttons, make the
D Line products ideal for
automating the functions of the
installation.
Thanks to the pioneering way in which vacation periods can
be managed, the new D Line allows you to override the
normal weekly program for one or more periods of the year or
even through different years. The range includes versions with
1 and 2 channels, equipped with large capacity internal
batteries so they are able to function during a blackout and
an EEPROM permanent data store, to ensure that the
scheduled program is followed and the date and hour settings
are maintained even during a power failure.
The “PLUS” versions can copy one or more programs and
transfer them to different devices by means of a flash drive,
without wasting time and avoiding re-programming errors.
The “SYNCHRO” versions can be combined with the D DCF
antenna, allowing the circuit-breaker to be automatically
synchronized with the DCF77 Frankfurt timing signal, or with
the D GPS antenna, which synchronizes with the signal
received by the Global Positioning System and provides a
more precise solution than the terrestrial transmissions. These
versions are required when one or more circuit-breakers need
to be kept synchronized, even when installed in unattended
areas.

The special functions of the new range
Standard program
The standard function allows one or more series of opening
and closing operations to be performed so as to check loads
such as the lighting and heating systems in a school. The ON
time and the OFF time can differ in an independent way on
both channels (lighting on from MON to FRI from 08:00 hrs to
18:00 hrs and heating on from MON to FRI from 07:00 hrs to
10:00 hrs).
Lighting system in a school
In the example, the school’s lighting system is on
from 08:00 hrs until 18:00 hrs.
:;+
:;+
Cyclic program
The cyclic function allows a series of impulses or a timing
cycle to be performed so as to check loads such as an
illuminated sign or the school bell. The ON time and the OFF
time can vary from 1 second to 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59
seconds.
Illuminated sign
In the example, the illuminated sign comes on at 19:00 hrs
and generates a series of impulses lasting for 10 seconds ON
and OFF, until 02:00 hrs in the morning.
Heating system in a school
In the example, the school’s heating system is on
from 07:00 hrs until 10:00 hrs.
:;+
School bell
In the example, the school bell rings for 3 seconds every 50
minutes, from 08:00 hrs until 13:00 hrs.

Vacation program
The vacation program allows the normal programs to be
halted for an established period. This is very useful during
vacations. The vacation program can also manage periods
spanning different years, such as the period from Christmas
to Epiphany.
Heating system in an office
The example shows that the office heating system was turned
off at 16:00 hrs on 24 December for the Christmas holiday
period and on again at 08:00 hrs on 6 January 2010 when the
office opened again.
Random program
The random program allows you to turn the utility on and off
in the random mode, so as to simulate the presence of
persons in unmanned places, for example.
Villa
The example shows how the random program simulates the
presence of persons in a villa during the evening hours.

The special functions of the new range
Innovations
Management of holiday
periods, which can be
programmed at different
times of the year
Product warranty
management: the clock and
battery activate when the
time switch is first installed
Programming via menus
with 4 simple keys
1 second minimum
change-over time
Multilanguage menus with a
choice of 11 languages
Monitored maintenance for
the connected equipment:
the “countdown” function
transmits a warning on
the display after a preset
number of operating hours
Change-over at null load,
for a longer lasting relay
and the actual load itself
A lithium battery provides a
6-year charge reserve from
first power-on
ACCESSORIES FOR PLUS AND SYNCHRO
D KEY flash key for executing
programs recorded in the key itself,
transferring programs from the time
switch to the key and vice versa,
and for reading the programs in
the key.
The D DCF77 antenna receives the
DCF77 synchronizing radio signal
transmitted by the atomic clock in
Mainflingen, near Frankfurt, thus
making the digital clock even more
accurate.
The programming software allows
you to simply and quickly create
even complex programs when
seated comfortably at your desk.
Once created, the program can be
printed or saved in a file.
The GPS antenna that receives the
time from the Global Positioning
System, offers a more precise value
than the terrestrial transmissions
and can also receive the signal in
any part of the world.
