New KNX annual time switch TR 648 top3 RC KNX: Flexible, secure, and
future-proof
The new KNX annual time switch TR 648 top3 RC KNX from Theben replaces
the proven TR 648 top2 variants – and impresses with even more flexibility,
convenience, and security. Thanks to an integrated Bluetooth interface and
support for KNX Data Secure, it offers modern programming options and encrypted
communication in KNX systems.
Flexible programming – even
without a mains or bus connection.
The TR 648 top3 RC KNX can be conveniently programmed via Bluetooth using the
free app for iOS and Android or on a Windows PC. Alternatively, programming can
also be carried out directly on the device or on a Windows PC via the USB
OBELISK adapter – without ETS, mains or bus connection. Existing Obelisk
adapters and memory sticks from the top2 series can still be used, and existing
programs can be easily transferred to the new device.
Precise time synchronization via
antenna or KNX bus
Time synchronization is flexible via the KNX bus or externally via DCF or GNSS
antennas. The clock can also be used as a time transmitter in the KNX system –
ideal for applications with high demands on time precision and the control of
our OSIRIA KNX display units.
Typical areas of application
The TR 648 top3 RC KNX is particularly suitable for controlling lighting
systems, break bells, church bells, ventilation systems, doorbell systems,
doors, and gates in KNX systems.
