Pro-C - Installing Station Modules

The Pro-C controller is supplied with a base 4-station module. Additional modules may be added separately in increments of 3 stations (PCM-300), 9 stations (PCM-900), or 16 stations (PCM-1600). In total, the system may be expanded up to 23 stations. Additional modules are sold separately.

The Pro-C utilizes automatic module recognition firmware to identify when PCM modules are installed or removed from the controller. This feature will recognize the correct number of stations without having to reset or cycle power to the controller.

The Pro-C controller is designed with a simple to use POWER LOCK feature that assures that the modules are energized and firmly secured into the controller. The POWER LOCK can unlock or lock all modules at one time by simply pushing the slide bar.

IMPORTANT:The PCM-1600 module is compatible with PC-400 model controllers with a facepack date code of FEB 2020 or newer.

Installing PCM Modules
  1. Slide the POWER LOCK into the POWER OFF (unlocked) position. Insert any additional station modules into the appropriate output slots.
  2. Once all modules are in place, slide the POWER LOCK into the POWER ON (locked) position to energize and secure the modules into the controller.
  3. The Pro-C will automatically recognize the correct number of stations. In some cases, it may be necessary to press the reset button on the back of the facepack or cycle power to the controller. 

NOTE: The PCM-900 module is used to expand your controller to 16 stations that requires one PCM-300 be installed in the first expansion slot 

(stations 5–7) and the PCM-900 in the upper two expansion slots. Older style Pro-C controllers (green buttons) will have a base 3-station module and are expandable with the PCM-300 and PCM-900/PCM-1600 modules.

Installing PCM-1600 Module
