1. Description
The Wireless Controllers REC601/603 are
compact, solution based devices for the remote
control and monitoring of secondary substations
such as network disconnectors, load break
switches and Ring Main Units (RMU’s) in
distribution networks.
The Wireless Controllers REC601/603 enable the
SCADA system to wirelessly monitor and control
the field devices over the public communication
infrastructure (GPRS).
The Wireless Controllers REC601/603 utilize the
built-in GPRS features for reliable and secure end-
to-end communication providing remote
monitoring and control of a single object with
Wireless Controller REC601, or up to three (3)
objects with Wireless Controller REC603.
The use of Wireless Controllers REC601/603 in
distribution networks improves the quality of
power distribution and dramatically reduces the
outage time in affected areas. The areas directly
adjacent to these affected areas would also show
reduced outages and overall effects. It also
reduces the capital expenditures in the
distribution network by limiting the replacement of
legacy devices and contributes to more direct
cost savings by facilitating preventative
maintenance. Wireless Controllers REC601/603
are also ideally suited to be retrofitted to existing
disconnectors and thus enabling remote control
of these devices and further extending the life
cycle of the disconnector itself.
