Description
Series WCS-CT-24 Long Distance Wireless Transmitter/Control Panel System provides a wireless bridge between any type dry-contact switch, PLC or Controller and an electro-mechanical contactor. When a switch
connected to the transmitting unit opens or closes signals are sent via a license free radio signal to a receiver unit up to 1 mile (Line-of-site) away. When the control panel receives the proper wireless signal from the transmitter a power contactor inside the panel is energized to operate a pump, valve or motor. Control Panel models feature latching or non-latching versions. Models are available with 2, 3 or 4-Pole Contactors.
System Operation
Non-latching Model
Non-latching models feature one control line that turns the contactor on and off.
latching Model
Latching models feature two control lines. One control line latches the contactor into the on position. The second control line releases the contactor back to the off position. This setup is most often used with two level switches controlling the fill of a tank.
