Status information about energy consumption

According to the ecological design requirements of Directive 2009/125/EC on products relevant to energy consumption, the TC Bar complies with the following standard(s) or document(s): Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/826.

Classification

The TC Bars are classified as follows:
  • TC Bar S: LoNA (networked device)
  • TC Bar M: networked device with HiNA functionality

Available energy saving modes

Note:
To set the TC Bar into a specific mode, certain prerequisites must be met. In its factory-default state, the TC Bar automatically enters the Network Standby Mode as soon as the required prerequisites are met. Further optional modes can be activated for certain use cases via the control application.
  • Network Standby Mode (default)
    • In the control software shown as: Eco Mode
    • This mode is the default mode in the factory-delivered state.
    • The mode puts the device into a state with minimal power consumption to ensure availability and reachability over Ethernet.
    • Remote wake-up is possible.
  • Standby Mode (optional)
    • In the control software shown as: Low Power Mode
    • This optional mode puts the device into Deep Sleep mode to reduce power consumption.
    • Waking the device requires a manual power-on operation.
    • Remote wake-up is not possible because there is no longer a network connection.
  • Operational Mode (optional)
    • In the control software shown as: Always On Mode
    • This mode is explicitly recommended for devices that must be available 24/7 for administration purposes, which is performed primarily remotely.
    • If the Always On Mode is selected in the control software and the increased power consumption is explicitly confirmed by the user, the device will no longer be automatically placed into any ECO mode.
    • The device remains constantly in an operational state and can be accessed at any time.
