Frequently Asked Questions
It’s a DIN-rail digital time switch for automating loads like lighting, ventilation, and bells. It suits schools, commercial buildings, and facility managers needing reliable weekly, annual, and astronomical scheduling.
Is this answer helpful?
Astro mode switches based on calculated sunrise and sunset, adapting to seasonal daylight changes. You can apply a ±2-hour offset to match local conditions or policy requirements.
Is this answer helpful?
Yes. Manual switching toggles the current channel until the next scheduled event, and permanent ON/OFF suspends all programmed switching until deactivated.
Is this answer helpful?
Use extra programs with date ranges (fixed, annual, Easter-based, weekday rules, or serial patterns). They override the standard program according to priority.
Is this answer helpful?
Synchronize via DCF/GPS antennas or KNX. Set time zones and daylight-saving rules, and define location by country/city or coordinates for accurate astro times.
Is this answer helpful?
Simulation lists all upcoming switchings for each channel, including standard, extra, pulse, cycle, and astro actions, so you can validate logic before it goes live.
Is this answer helpful?
Use the OBELISK memory card to copy programs, holidays, astro settings, and options between units, ensuring fast rollout and consistent configuration.

Product Description
Theben TR 640 Manual: Smart Timing for Demanding Installations
Precision Control for Modern Buildings
The Theben TR 640 brings reliable, pro-grade scheduling to lighting, ventilation, bells, and other electrical loads. Designed for DIN-rail installations, it blends robust hardware with flexible programming, making it ideal for schools, commercial premises, and facility management. With weekly, annual, and astronomical scheduling, you gain consistent, automated control that adapts to seasons and special events.
Flexible Programs and Astro Intelligence
The TR 640 offers a standard weekly program alongside extra programs that can override base schedules within defined date ranges. Configure switch times, pulse outputs, and cycle functions to support everything from bell signals to periodic rinses. Activate astro mode to switch based on calculated sunrise and sunset, then fine-tune with offsets to match local conditions. Priority logic ensures special programs supersede standard routines when needed.
Intuitive Operation and Manual Overrides
Navigation is straightforward via a clear menu structure with channel selection, simulation, and quick edits. Manual and permanent switching let you intervene instantly—ideal for maintenance windows or unexpected events. A simulation view previews all upcoming actions, giving operators confidence before deployment.
Seamless Integration and Time Synchronization
For installations that demand precision, the TR 640 supports synchronization via DCF/GPS antennas or the KNX bus (model-dependent). Time zones and daylight-saving rules are handled elegantly, while ETS configuration streamlines commissioning in KNX environments. With safety-first design and SELV data interfaces, integration remains secure and standards-compliant.
Built for Longevity and Serviceability
Engineered for reliability, the TR 640 includes a long power reserve and excellent time accuracy. Use the OBELISK memory card to clone settings between devices, manage holiday calendars, and maintain consistency across sites. From street lighting to car parks and public buildings, it delivers dependable automation with minimal upkeep.
