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
