Modular clock mechanism garage T-16G 230V 3 to 30 minutes

The Orbis T-16G timer, reference OB060100, is a modular staircase timer specially designed for installations that require long lighting times, such as garages, parking lots, long corridors, basements, and common areas. It operates at 230 V and allows the timing to be adjusted between 3 and 30 minutes using a front selector.

Its compact single DIN-module format makes it easy to integrate into electrical panels, while its rearmable operation allows the timing cycle to be restarted with a new push before the current cycle ends. It also supports 3-wire or 4-wire installations and illuminated push buttons, providing flexibility for both new builds and renovations.

Extended timing from 3 to 30 minutes

The T-16G differs from the standard T-16 model by offering a considerably wider timing range. The lighting time can be adjusted between 3 and 30 minutes, making it especially suitable for spaces where users need lighting for extended periods.

Orbis specifically recommends this model for garages and underground parking areas, although it can also be used in long corridors, warehouses, common areas, and other spaces where a few minutes of timing may be insufficient.

Rearmable operation

The timing is rearmable. If, during the lighting period, any of the push buttons connected to the system is pressed again, the timer starts a new full cycle from the beginning.

This function is especially useful in garages or large buildings, as it automatically extends the lighting time when new users enter the area without having to wait for the circuit to switch off.

Compatible with 3-wire and 4-wire installations

The Orbis T-16G can be used in both 3-wire and 4-wire electrical installations. The device itself includes a selector to adapt the wiring scheme to the type of existing installation.

This compatibility makes it easy to replace previous timers and allows the same model to be used in a wide variety of residential, communal, and professional electrical panels.

Compatible illuminated push buttons

The timer supports illuminated push buttons fitted with neon lamps, with a combined current of up to 50 mA. This makes it easy to locate the push buttons in dark areas such as garages, stairwells, or corridors.

Manual selector: automatic or permanent on

The front of the T-16G includes a manual control with two positions. In automatic mode, the lighting turns on for the selected time each time a push button is pressed.

The permanent on position allows the circuit to remain continuously connected, temporarily overriding the timing function. This feature is useful during maintenance work, cleaning, repairs, or any situation where continuous lighting is needed.

10 A contact

The Orbis T-16G has a switching capacity of 10 A at 230 V AC. The maximum permissible load depends on the lighting technology connected and must be respected to ensure correct and safe operation.

• Incandescent lamps: up to 2000 W.
• Fluorescent lamps: up to 800 VA.
• 12 V low-voltage halogen lamps: up to 1200 VA.
• 230 V halogen lamps: up to 2000 W.
• Energy-saving lamps: up to 700 VA.
• LED lighting: up to 100 VA.

Compact single DIN-module format

The timer is designed for mounting on a 35 mm DIN rail in accordance with EN 60715. It occupies only one module, approximately 17.5 mm wide, making it easy to install in electrical panels with limited space.

The overall dimensions of the T-16/T-16G family are approximately 17.5 x 85 x 59 mm. Its reduced size allows it to be installed alongside protection devices, contactors, and other panel control elements.

Easy installation in electrical panels

Connection is made through the device terminals, and the internal selector allows you to choose between 3-wire or 4-wire installation. The maximum permitted conductor cross-section is 4 mm².

Time adjustment is carried out directly from the front using a graduated selector, so no digital programming or external tools are required.

IP20 protection

The T-16G has an IP20 protection rating in accordance with EN 60529 and Class II protection when correctly installed. It is designed for mounting inside electrical panels protected from water and direct access to live parts.

The operating temperature range specified by Orbis for this range is between -10 and +50 °C.

Applications of the Orbis T-16G

Thanks to its long timing range, the OB060100 is especially suitable for automating circuits where lighting needs to remain on for several minutes after each push.

• Underground parking lots.
• Long corridors.
• Staircases and landings.
• Basements and storage rooms.
• Building common areas.
• Educational and sports centers.
• Public buildings.
• Retail premises and offices.
• Compatible industrial installations.

Specific timer for garages and long-duration areas

The Orbis T-16G OB060100 offers a simple solution to prevent garage and common-area lighting from staying on indefinitely. Its timing of up to 30 minutes provides light for long routes and, once the selected period ends, automatically switches off the circuit.

The rearmable operation, compatibility with 3-wire and 4-wire installations, permanent-on selector, and single DIN-module format make both installation and daily use easy in residential and professional applications.

Important: before connecting the luminaires, check that the type and power of the load are within the limits established by Orbis. Installation and wiring must be carried out by qualified personnel following the manufacturer's diagrams and applicable electrical regulations.
