Timerelay with NFC wireless communication.
Function: programmable
Supply voltage:9–265 V AC/DC
Mounting: on a 35 mm rail
The PCS-533 is a programmable time relay that enables the relay to be switched on, off and changed over based on time or control signals applied via two inputs.
The timer relay’s operating programme is created using the free PCS Configurator app for Android smartphones. The programme is uploaded to the relay wirelessly via the NFC wireless communication system.

PCS Konfigurator app
A free app for Android phones and tablets equipped with an NFC wireless communication module.
With the help of PCS Konfigurator:
* You can prepare a programmein the form of a list of sequential commands. Each command is represented by an icon. Tapping a command tile allows you to edit details such as the action time, expected input signal, etc.
*You can easilyadd, move and delete programme commands (by dragging tiles).
* You will receivea set of templates (in the form of diagrams). These are ready-made programmes utilising the functions of the PCS-516 and PCS-517 relays.
* You can save and load programmes to a file. These can be shared via email, network drives, etc.
* You receive an automatic backup of programmes. Each relay has its own ID. The application retains a full history of programmes uploaded to the relay.
* You gain the ability to operate inbulk programming mode. Thismeans you can upload a single programme to multiple relays (even without connecting the power supply).

The app is available on Google Play!
NFC (Near Field Communication)is a form of wireless communication with a very short range. It usually does not exceed a few centimetres. It is used in contactless payment solutions, whether via contactless payment cards or via smartphones with NFC functionality and a dedicated banking app. In severalF&F devices, we were the first to use NFC communication to configure timers. It is a very simple and convenient solution. Using a free app on an Android phone, you set the timer’s operating programme. Then, to transfer the programme to the timer, simply hold your phone close to it – exactly the same way as when you pay for your shopping at the till.
Programming using NFC has many additional advantages. You can:
- quickly programme multiple controllers,
- store a copy of the programmes in your phone’s memory,
- share programmes with other users, e.g. via email.
To program the controller, you do not need to connect it to a power source; you do not even need to take it out of the box for this purpose.
