1. DESCRIPTION
The PCT-122e plus is a dedicated pressure switch for condensing units with features that contribute to the
energy efficiency of the refrigeration system. It has two analog outputs that allow precise control of the suction
and discharge processes, allowing the activation of frequency inverters, electronic fans, control module for
compressor capacity variable solenoid (varistep). It also has three relay outputs for ON-OFF compressor or
fan control.
It has two inputs for pressure sensors and temperature sensors, allowing monitoring of low and high
pressures, in addition to superheating and subcooling measurements.
Using its integrated clock, it automatically activates the economical setpoint and night mode. The digital inputs
enable remote commands for various purposes, such as: turning off the control, alarms, economical mode,
night mode, among others. The PCT-122e plus allows you to configure the RS-485 communication port
for the MODBUS-RTU protocol. For more information about the implemented commands and the registration
table, contact Full Gauge Controls.
2. SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
- Make sure you know the correct way to install the controller;
- Make sure that the power supply is turned off and that it is not going to turn on during the installation of the
controller;
- Read this manual before installing and using the controller;
- Use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE);
- Where it will be used in areas subject to splashing water, such as refrigerated counters, install the protective
film that comes with the controller;
- The installation procedures must be carried out by a competent engineer, respecting current regulations.
3. APPLICATIONS
- Condenser units, Suction/discharge control in refrigeration systems, Superheating and subcooling
monitoring.

CAUTION
WHERE THE INSTALLATION LOCATION NEEDS TO BE SEALED AGAINST LIQUIDS, THE OPENING IN WHICH THE CONTROLLER IS
TO BE INSTALLED MUST BE NO MORE THAN 70.5x29mm. THE SIDE CLASPS MUST BE SECURED IN SUCH A WAY AS TO CREATE A
TIGHT RUBBER SEAL THAT PREVENTS ANY LIQUIDS ENTERING THE OPENING AND THE CONTROLLER.

±
(see Image 5)
PUSH-IN Connection:
- Hold the wire close to its end and insert it into the
required opening.
- If necessary, press the button to help make the
connection.
- Ferrule type terminals can be used.
- For the signal connections, the ferrule must be at
least 12mm.
Up Key
In the power connectors the pin must be at least
7mm.
NOTES 1 - Signal Connectors:
Down Key
- Connections 1 to 20 must use wire of a gauge
between 0.2 and 1,5mm² (26 and 16AWG).
NOTES 2 - Power Connectors:
- Connections 21 to 25 must use wire of a gauge
between 0.2 and 2.5mm² (26 and 12AWG).
7.2. Connecting the temperature sensors
- Connect the wires of the T1 Sensor to terminals ''11 and 12'', the wires of the T2 sensor to terminals and
''13 and 14'', the wires of the T3 sensor to terminals ''15 and 16'' and the wires of the T4 sensor to
terminals ''17 and 18'': the polarity is indifferent.
- The length of the sensor cables can be increased by the user themselves up to 200 meters (650 ft.),
using a 2x24 AWG PP cable.
7.3. Recommendations from NBR5410 and IEC60364 standards
a) Install surge protectors to the controller's power supply.
b) Install transient suppressors - suppressor filter (type RC) - in the circuit to increase the working life of
the controller's relay.
c) The sensor cables can be together, but not in the same conduit as the power supply fot the controller or
the loads.
