Universal Pulse Conversion Relay

PCR-3PS

The SSI PCR-3PS Universal Pulse Conversion Relay provides true bidirectional KYZ pulse conversion in a single microcontroller-based unit. It is designed to convert 3-wire Form C inputs to 2-wire Form A outputs — or 2-wire to 3-wire — with the conversion mode selected in the field without any special tools or equipment. The PCR-3PS consolidates what previously required two separate relays (the PCR-1 and PCR-2) into one compact, versatile solution.

Typical applications include SCADA systems, energy management systems, and energy demand/kWh counters where pulse format compatibility between metering devices and customer-owned systems is required. The PCR-3PS validates input pulse sequences before generating outputs, ensuring reliable and noise-resistant conversion in real-world metering environments.

Product Highlights

The PCR-3PS performs true pulse conversion in both directions — not simply mimicking pulse activity, but verifying the correct sequence of KYZ contact closures before allowing an output to occur. In 3-wire to 2-wire mode, each valid KYZ change of state produces a fixed 100mS output closure. In 2-wire to 3-wire mode, each valid Form A closure produces alternating Form C output state changes.

Built-in transient protection eliminates the need for external suppressors, and the polycarbonate enclosure provides maximum user protection with all powered components enclosed. Euro-type terminal connectors prevent accidental electrical shock, and dual red and green LED indicators allow instant visual status confirmation without additional test equipment.

Features

The SSI PCR-3PS provides true 2-wire to 3-wire or 3-wire to 2-wire KYZ pulse conversion in a single field-selectable, microcontroller-based relay.
  • Bidirectional conversion — field-selectable for 3-wire to 2-wire or 2-wire to 3-wire KYZ pulse conversion in a single unit.
  • Sequence validation — microcontroller verifies correct pulse input sequence before generating outputs, preventing false pulses.
  • Fixed 100mS output — in 3-to-2-wire mode, produces a consistent 100mS isolated output contact closure per valid input.
  • Solid-state Form C output — dry contacts rated at 250VAC/VDC at 350mA, with input/output isolation voltage of 2500Vrms.
  • Built-in transient protection — eliminates the need for external or off-board transient suppressors.
  • Euro-type terminal connectors — no exposed conductive parts when wired, providing maximum protection from accidental shock.
  • Dual LED indicators — red and green LEDs display input and output status at all times for rapid visual system verification.
