Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0825501A1] The time-switch has a microprocessor (MP), a program memory (PS), a touch-switch (CL) for program choice, a numerical input (ZS) and a program/data display (D). The switch directs one or more external switches (RK). Touch-controlled main and secondary menus facilitate choice of application. The display is a multi-line alphanumeric controllable matrix. The lead menu offers a choice of operation e.g. time-control, thermostat, automatic light switch. The numerical input can be used to program in hours and minutes or days/months/years, for example. A measuring signal (ME), processed through an analogue-digital converter (A/D), is used where temperature or brightness measurements are required. Thus the time-switch is easily operated for any one of several different applications, without using a handbook.
