PCZ-528.3
Programmable
control timer
The PCZ-528.3 control timer is a universal programmable timer
that combines the features of an astronomical, weekly and an-
nual timer.
»256 programs for switching the relay on/off;
»Each of the programs can be executed in one of the seven date
intervals defined in the annual cycle;
»Ability to enter up to 32 holidays and select which programs
will run on holidays;
»For each of the work programs, it can be independently deter-
mined whether the program will be executed in an hourly cyc-
le (fixed hour and minute) or in an astronomical cycle (related
to the position of the sun in relation to the horizon);
»In each of the astronomical programs, it is possible to set an in-
dependent shift of switching on/off in relation to the selected
astronomical point (e.g. turn on one hour before sunset, turn
off two hours after dusk);

»For each of the programs, you can freely choose which days of
the week it will be performed;
»Possibility to program the timer with the free PCZ Konfigurator
mobile application using the NFC* short-range radio commu-
nication system;
»Possibility to protect the clock settings with a PIN code;
»Advanced work time counter that allows you to measure the
receiver activation time:
– on the current day and month;
– monthly, from the last 12 months;
– total from the moment the clock was first started.
»Auxiliary, resettable, work time counter;
»Possibility of limiting the total time of the receiver activation
(up to a maximum of 99999 hours);
»Control input that allows connection of momentary external
button;
»Backlit LCD display with with adjustable brightness and con-
trast levels;
»Replaceable 2032 type battery to keep the clock running in
case of power failure**.
* Remote programming requires an Android phone with built-in NFC com-
munication and free PCZ Configurator app (downloadable from Google
Play store). NFC communication range is limited to a few centimeters, so a
direct phone-to-timer connection is required to transfer the configuration
from the app to the timer.
** In the event of a power failure, the internal battery will only support the
internal clock so that the current time and date will not be lost. In the
event of a power failure, all external timer functions, such as the display
and relay, remain disabled.

The PCZ-528.3 clock controller can operate in one of the three
modes of operation:
»Automatic mode
Operation in automatic mode involves the automatic proces-
sing of all programs stored in the memory of the controller.
»Semi-automatic mode
Semi-automatic mode means a temporary interruption of
operation in automatic mode and the possibility of manually
switching the relay contact to the opposite position. The timer
operation in semi-automatic mode is indicated by blinking of
the timer dial on the controller display. Operation in semi-au-
tomatic mode is stopped when the next operating program
is activated, after which the controller returns to automatic
mode.
»Manual mode
In manual mode, the list of programs stored in the memory
of the controller is ignored and switching on/off is performed
manually by the user.
In manual mode, the state of the relay can be changed by brie-
fly pressing the +/– button on the front of the controller or an
external button connected to the timer control input.
