Introduction
PCS533 is a programmable time relay that allows the implementation of simple programs for controlling the
output relay as a function of time and in conjunction with signals directed to control inputs A and B. The
operation mode of the controller is prepared via graphical application running on the Android phone. NFC
interface built-in the phone is used to transfer the program (*).
Installation
Description of terminals
1-3) Power supply - 12-265V AC/DC
4) Control input A
6) Control input B
10) Relay output –contact normally closed (NC)
11) Relay output –common contact (COM)
12) Relay output –contact normally open (NO)
Fig. 1) Description of terminals
Please note: No galvanic isolation between the power supply (terminals 1 - 3) and the control
inputs (terminals 4 and 6). In case of a mains power this means that a dangerous
potential can emerge on the terminals 4 and 6.

Indications
The PCS533 relay is equipped with two signaling LEDs. During normal operation the green LED indicates the
presence of power supply voltage. The red LED indicates the switching on of the relay. Flashing of one or both
controls indicates the emergency situation. The list of possible errors is shown in the following table.
No program
Flashing green LED and red LED off indicates that there is no proper program to
execute saved in the memory of the controller.
Please note: Due to the way the program is transferred from phone to
controller, it may happen that the whole program will not be properly
copied to the memory of the controller. In this case, when the NFC
connection is broken, the controller tries to load new program and in
case of an error it indicates it by flashing green LED. Similar verifying
procedure is performed when the controller activates.
Disruption of the timer signal
In case of a strong electromagnetic interference the operation of the quartz
generator that is used for measuring the time may be disrupted. In that case the
controller will switch to the secondary clock of lesser accuracy. In that situation,
move the controller away from the source of interference.
Disruption of the memory readout
Strong electromagnetic interference may also lead to disruption of
communication with EEPROM memory that stores the program configuration.
The relay is equipped with procedures for restoring the communication with
memory, but if such errors occur it is recommended to move the relay away
from the source of interference.
Exceeding the temperature
Alternate flashing controls indicate the maximum temperature inside the
module. Until the temperature does not drop to a safe value, the relay will be
switched off and the program execution stopped.
Temperature alarm may occur in the following cases:
1. Too high load of the relay contacts. In this case reduce
the load, for example through the use of an additional
contactor through which the load will be switched on.
2. Too high ambient temperature. In this case improve
ventilation in the distribution box or increase spacing
between modules to improve heat dissipation.
3. Too high power supply voltage (above 265 V)
4. Improperly tightened terminals of the controller power
supply (1-3) or load (10-12)
General error
General error of the controller is signaled by the simultaneous flashing of both
control lights. It indicates the faulty operation of the controller or erroneous
entry in the configuration memory.

The most common cause of a general error is erroneous entries
in the controller program memory. Usually they appear in case of
an incorrect transfer of the program from the phone to the
controller (for example caused by the communication break
during data copying).
In the case of a general error in each case again copy the program from the
phone to the controller.

PCS33 Configurator
All operations related to the preparation of the program, copying from/to the controller and managing the
programs is realized through the PCS533 Configurator application. This application is designed for phones and
tablets running on Android (version at least 4.0). In addition, to communicate with the controller the phone or
tablet must be equipped with near field communication (NFC) module. The PCS533 Configurator app can be
downloaded free of charge via the Google Play store.
Google Play store performs initial verification and blocks the ability to install the app on devices
that do not meet the application requirements (for example lack of NFC module or unsupported
version of Android). In this case, the attempt to search the app in the store will fail and the
message about the lack of searched application will be displayed.
Welcome screen
After starting the PCS533 Configurator, a window is displayed that allows you to read the program from the PCS
controller. (

Fig. 5) Welcome screen
According to the instructions on the screen, when you bring the phone
closer to the PCS533 controller, the connection will be made automatically
and the program from the controller memory will be copied to the
application.
