PTE-100-C PRO

The same micro-controller processes all the user’s control actions like output 
on/off, the timer activation, the selection and display of function values, and 

the protective alarms. 
The PTE-FCN variable voltage channel 
This add-on, installed inside the PTE-100-C PRO’s  lid, provides an addi-
tional voltage source that is variable in amplitude, frequency and phase 

angle. The PTE-FCN module is an efficient, accurate and stable amplifier-
based voltage source that provides a high quality output. 

 

The  PTE-FCN  must be powered from the built-in fixed 110 VAC 

auxiliary output of the PTE-100-C PRO only. Use the supplied razor-
type bipolar cord for this purpose. The use of any other source to 
power the PTE-FCN  module can permanently damage it and is not 
covered by the warranty. 

Using the PTE-FCN’s variable voltage output in combination with the variac-
regulated power channel of the PTE-100-C PRO, you can test directional 

relays, distance / impedance relays, synchronism and frequency relays, 
among many others.  
Refer to the 

“PTE-FCN” 

chapter at the end of this manual for instructions 

how to use the independent variable voltage channel.
