1. APPLICATION
Controller PCE-RE01 is designed to control temperature. It cooperates
directly with resistance-type sensors Pt100, Pt1000 and NTC.
The controller has one output for on-off control and one output for alarm
signalling. The on-off control employs the PID or on-off algorithm. For the
on-off control, the minimum on and off times for the output may be set.
The control output has a changeover contact and allows for the direct
control of low-power objects.
An innovative SMART PID algorithm is implemented in the controller.
In addition, the controller has a binary input to control the controller’s fun-
ctions and an internal sound signalling device.
2. CONTROLLER SET
The delivered controller set is composed of:
1. controller......................................... 1 piece
4. holding clips ...................................... 4 pieces

3. BASIC REQUIREMENTS, OPERATIONAL
SAFETY
In the safety service scope, the controller meets to requirements of the
EN 61010-1 standard.
Observations Concerning the Operational Safety:
•The assembly and installation of electrical connections shall be
performedbyapersonqualiedfortheassemblyofelectricaldevices.
•Check if the connections are made correctly before powering on the
controller.
•Power off the controller and disconnect measuring circuits before
removing the controller’s housing.
•The removal of the controller’s housing during the validity of the war-
rantyagreementnulliestheagreement.
•The devices is designed for installation and use in industrial, electro-
magnetic environmental conditions.
• Theinstallationshouldbettedwithaswitchorcircuit-breakerlocated
near the device, easily accessible to the operator and with appropriate
marking.
4. INSTALLATION
4.1. Controller Installation
Attach the controller to the board with four screw mounts
in line with Fig. 1. The hole in the board should be 71+0.7 x 29+0.6 mm.
The board material may be up to 15 mm thick.

The controller’s dimensions are shown on Fig. 2.

4.2. Electrical Connections
The controller has two disconnectable strips with screw terminals.
One strip allows for the connection of power supply and output
with a wire up to 2.5 mm2in size and the other strip for the connection
of input signals with a wire up to 1.5 mm2in size.
Fig. 3. View of the controller’s connection strips.
4.3. Installation recommendations
To obtain full resistance to electromagnetic interference,
observe the following rules:
•do not power the controller from the mains near equipment genera-
ting impulse interference and do not use common earthing circuits
for them,
• uselinelters,
•measuring signal input wires should be screened twisted pairs and
wires for resistance sensor in three-wire systems formed by screened
twisted wires with the same length, size and resistance,
•all the screens should be earthed or connected to a protective cable,
on one side, as close to the controller as possible,
•follow the general principle that wires which transmit different signals
should run as far from each other as possible (no less than 30 cm)
and bundles should cross each other at the angle of 90o.

Description of the controller
Power on
Once powered on, the controller performs a display test, shows re01,
software version and then the measured value.
The display may show a sign message on irregularities (see Table no. 13).
The on-off control algorithm with hysteresis 2.0°C is factory set.
Change of the set point
To display the set point, press or , the dot for the last
digit lights up then. To change the set point, press again or
(Fig.5).Thedotashestosignalthestartofchange.Accept
the new set point with within 30 seconds from the last pressed
or ; otherwise the controller changes over to display
the measured value with the previously set-up set point.
