Digital and astronomical time switches

This EPD is a multi-product Environmental Product Declaration covering a family of electronic devices for the control, scheduling and monitoring of electrical circuits in low-voltage installations. The products are designed for fixed installation on DIN rails and are used in residential, tertiary and industrial electrical systems.

The EPD covers the following eight products manufactured and marketed by ORBIS DATA LOG, ASTRO UNO, DATA LOG BT, ASTRO UNO BT, DATA LOG 2, ASTRO NOVA CITY, DATA LOG 2 BT, ASTRONOVA CITY BT.

All products included in this EPD share a common design concept and construction, consisting of an electronic control unit housed in a plastic enclosure and integrating printed circuit boards, electronic components, terminals and auxiliary elements. The products operate by controlling electrical loads according to predefined time schedules or, for astronomical models, according to calculated sunrise and sunset times. This enables automated switching of electrical circuits and supports efficient operation of lighting and other electrical systems.

Differences between the products relate mainly to their functional configuration, communication capabilities and internal component layout. Some models incorporate wireless communication functionality via Bluetooth, while others operate exclusively as wired devices. These differences result in variations in material composition, mass and environmental performance within the declared product group.

In accordance with the PCR Electronic and electric equipment, and electronic components (non-construction), version 1.0.1, this Environmental Product Declaration is a multi-product EPD based on the results of a representative product, as permitted under Section 4.9.1 of the PCR.

The EPD covers a homogeneous family of products manufactured by ORBIS, which share the same main function, comply with the same applicable product standards, and are manufactured using similar materials and production technologies.

The assessed products are manufactured through a process comprising the injection moulding of plastic housing components, assembly of electronic components and printed circuit boards, functional testing, and final packaging. Injection moulding of polycarbonate parts is carried out at the Alcobendas plant (Spain), while final assembly, testing and packaging are performed at the Madrid plant (Spain).
