Wireless Controller
REC601/603
Product version: 1.0

2. Applications

The Wireless Controllers REC601/603 are
important and powerful components in an
automated distribution network. Connected to the
central control system (SCADA/DMS) – that
manages the utility network - they serve as the
core of the secondary substation automation
system. These devices are recommended devices
for multiple disconnector or distribution
transformer applications in distribution networks
that require specifications and/or features like
listed below.
• Highly reliable control and monitoring of up to
three (3) objects (per REC603):
– Disconnector position indications with front
LEDs
– Separate LED indicators for earthing status
– Supports both local and remote disconnector
control
– More than one Wireless Controller
REC601/603 can be connected in a single
location to facilitate the Ethernet enabled
control and monitoring of more than three (3)
disconnectors
• Overload protection of actuator motors
– Load current measured in the motor circuit
– Measurement of object transition time
– Energy limit based motor overload protection
("software fuse")
• Always on two-way communication based on
GPRS via an M2M gateway
4
– Redundant IEC 60870-5-104 connections
provide extra availability
– Communication monitoring and automatic
connection re-establishment
– High level data security through internal VPN
and Firewall
– Possibility to act as an IEC 60870-5-101
master (router) for another communicating
sub-device (for example metering unit or fault
passage indicator)
• Built-in battery charger with advanced battery
control:
– Temperature compensated charging
– Battery monitoring/testing (condition
monitoring)
– Deep discharge protection
• Heater control to limit effects of ambient
temperature variations, such as condensation,
etc.
• Real-time clock for accurate event time-tagging
• Robust aluminium casing design for easy DIN
rail mounting
