Introduction

Preface

The PRC1000 Programmable Relay Controller is an extremely low-power, user programmable dual

mode/dual relay controller providing complete power control for two individual electronic devices. Equipped

with two separate SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) relays, individually configurable schedule timers and

serial data stream triggers, the PRC1000 provides for either manual or automatic operation of any electronic

equipment.

Rugged Design

While there are many types of relay controllers on the market, the PRC1000 is truly unique in both its design

and function. Housed in a safe, rugged enclosure of 18 gauge cold-rolled steel, the PRC1000 is tough enough

to tolerate the most rugged installation requirements. Its low profile housing and integrated mounting solution

make it easy to install into any telecom closet, remote cabinet, or solar battery enclosure.

Low Power Applications

Designed specifically for reducing the power consumption of remote power

systems, the PRC1000 uses less power than any other programmable

relay controller available on the market. By utilizing latching relays and

specially designed micro-power logic, the PRC1000 helps reduce the

average power consumption of any remote power or charging system. With

a typical draw of less than 625uA (microAmps), and a sleeping power draw

of less than 25uA, the PRC1000 can both reduce the size photovoltaic

panel requirements and lengthen the battery life of any solar installation.

Flexible Applications

Each of the PRC1000 relays is rated at 1 Amp at 120 VAC and 4 Amps at 30VDC. That makes the PRC1000

a perfect fit for a wide variety of remote power control applications, including:

 Airport and heliport lighting systems

 Access control systems

 Alarm Systems

 Cathodic protection systems

 Environmental Monitoring Equipment

 Lighted advertising signs

 Marine lighting systems

 Meteorological stations

 Seismic measurement equipment

 Solar powered artistic projects

 Street lighting

 Railway signaling

 Remote data collection systems

 Remote sensors

 Telecommunications and radio equipment

 Telemetry/SCADA systems

 Traffic management systems

 Tower Lighting and Control Systems

 TV and satellite transmitters

 Video recording equipment
