Digital Timer Switch DATA LOG 2 230V

The Orbis DATA LOG 2, reference OB175012, is a 230 V digital time switch designed to automate two electrical circuits independently through daily, weekly, pulse or cycle programming. It features 40 programs, two changeover contacts rated up to 16(10) A, a backlit LCD display and DIN rail mounting, occupying only 2 modules.

Its extensive programming capacity makes it possible to control lighting, signs, shop windows, fountains, gardens and other electrical circuits with defined schedules. It also includes Bluetooth communication, automatic summer/winter time changeover, special holiday periods, an operating hours counter and a replaceable battery that keeps the clock and programming running in the absence of power.

Two independently programmable circuits

The DATA LOG 2 differs from the DATA LOG version by having two output circuits. Each one uses a changeover contact with a capacity of up to 16(10) A at 250 V AC, allowing two loads or groups of loads to be managed from a single device.

This configuration is especially practical when it is necessary to automate two circuits with different schedules without installing two separate time switches.

Up to 40 daily or weekly programs

The programmer allows up to 40 programs to be stored and daily or weekly configurations to be created. This makes it possible to define different schedules for each day or establish sequences adapted to the usual operation of an installation.

The unit offers second-by-second programming accuracy and a quartz crystal-controlled clock with a specified accuracy of ±1 second every 24 hours at 23 °C.

ON/OFF, pulse and cycle operations

In addition to conventional on and off switching at a set time, the Orbis DATA LOG 2 allows different types of operation to be configured to suit more advanced automation applications.

• Fixed time ON/OFF: switching on or off at the programmed times.
• Pulses: operations with an adjustable duration between 1 and 59 seconds.
• Cycles: repetitive operation with intervals from 1 to 59 seconds or from 1 minute to 23 hours and 59 minutes.
• Manual operation: temporary modification of the circuit status.
• Permanent operation: allows an output to be kept on or off regardless of the set program.

Four special holiday periods

The DATA LOG 2 allows up to four special periods to be defined throughout the year. This function makes it easy to modify normal operation during holidays, festive periods, seasonal closures or other exceptional dates without having to delete the main weekly program.

Thanks to these special periods, the programmer can better adapt to buildings, shops, residential communities, offices and installations where schedules change at certain times of the year.

Automatic summer/winter time changeover

The unit incorporates automatic summer and winter time changeover, configurable by country. It is also possible to disable this function when the needs of the installation require it.

This feature avoids having to manually adjust the clock every time a seasonal time change occurs.

Programming and management via Bluetooth

The DATA LOG range allows configuration via Bluetooth communication and compatible mobile devices, in addition to programming directly from the front controls on the unit.

Orbis provides apps for programming and managing the DATA LOG range, making it easier to prepare and modify schedules from a compatible smartphone or tablet.

Backlit LCD display

The DATA LOG 2 features a large backlit LCD display that shows the information needed to configure and check the operation of the device. The display shows the time, programming and output status, as well as a daily schedule.

The time format can be selected between 12 and 24 hours, and the backlighting makes reading easier when the time switch is installed inside panels with reduced lighting.

Backup with replaceable CR2032 battery

The time switch incorporates a replaceable 3 V, 220 mAh CR2032 battery. According to Orbis technical data, backup reaches up to 5 years with battery and no mains connection, while battery life can reach approximately 10 years when the unit remains powered.

In addition, if the battery is depleted or not installed, a high-capacity capacitor can preserve the programming for approximately 48 hours without electrical power.

Operating hours counter

The DATA LOG 2 includes an operating hours counter for the channels, a useful feature for knowing how long certain loads have remained active.

This information can help with maintenance planning for lighting, electrical equipment or other devices controlled by the programmer.

Keypad lock and sealable cover

To prevent accidental or unauthorized changes to the configuration, the unit has a keypad lock function. It also includes a sealable front cover to protect access to the controls.

These features are especially useful in residential communities, public buildings, shops and professional installations where the electrical panel may be accessible to different users.

Compact DIN rail mounting

The Orbis DATA LOG 2 is designed for DIN rail installation and occupies only 2 modules. Its overall dimensions are approximately 35 x 88 x 65 mm, with an insertion depth of approximately 60 mm.

The reduced width makes it possible to integrate two independent programming channels into the panel using less space than two individual programmers.

Switching capacity

Each of the two circuits has a switching capacity of 16(10) A at 250 V AC. Orbis specifies different recommended maximum loads depending on the connected technology.

• Incandescent lamps: up to 3000 W.
• Fluorescent lamps: up to 1200 VA.
• 12 V low-voltage halogen lamps: up to 2000 VA.
• 230 V halogen lamps: up to 3000 W.
• Energy-saving lamps: up to 600 VA.
• Downlights: up to 400 VA in zero-crossing detection configurations.
• LED: up to 90 VA in zero-crossing detection configurations.

Permissible capacities may vary when switching with zero-crossing detection is used. In all cases, the maximum loads specified by Orbis for the specific device configuration must be respected.

Applications of the Orbis DATA LOG 2

Thanks to its two channels, weekly programming and the ability to perform pulses and cycles, the DATA LOG 2 can be used in numerous residential, commercial and industrial applications.

• Lighting control in residential communities.
• Outdoor and decorative lighting.
• Shop window and retail lighting.
• Switching illuminated signs on and off.
• Street or public lighting control.
• Automation of fountains and gardens.
• Irrigation system programming.
• Time control of circuits in offices and public buildings.
