THEBEN THEB 26 Analog Plug-in Timer 24h without Power Reserve, 16 A, White

For those who prefer a mechanical timer that works without programming or batteries, the THEBEN THEB 26 delivers dependable 24-hour control in a plug-in Schuko format. Unlike digital timers with menus and displays, this analog unit uses a rotating dial with 48 push-down segments, making it one of the simplest ways to automate lamps, pumps, chargers, and other resistive loads. There is no power reserve: after a power interruption, simply reset the dial to the current time – a small trade-off for its robust, no-frills operation.

Highlights

• 24-hour analog program dial with 48 switching segments
• 30-minute switching intervals for flexible daily schedules
• High switching capacity: 16 A / 3680 W resistive, 4 A inductive
• No power reserve – reset to current time when unplugged
• Plug-in Schuko design, no wiring required
• White thermoplastic housing, IP20 for indoor use

In daily use

Set the timer by pushing the blue segments outward for the times you want power on. The dial rotates once per day and the switch engages exactly at the chosen intervals. This mechanical system is robust, easy to understand, and ideal for basic indoor automation where a power reserve is not critical. The timer plugs directly into a standard Schuko socket and provides a Schuko output for the connected device.
