About the Device

The PowerTag Control (PTC) is a wireless-communication module designed for controlling and monitoring applications. It is part of the PowerTag System and Wiser System, transforming a distribution board into a connected panel.

The PowerTag Control monitors circuits wirelessly, collecting status of daisy-chained circuit breakers and notifying the Wiser Hub of information status, such as OFF, Contactor (CT), or Impulse Relay (TL) position indication. The PTC features a volt-free relay contact providing control of 230 VAC loads up to 2 A.

• Zigbee technology simplifies cabling and commissioning operations, requiring no wiring for PowerTag Control modules to communicate with the Wiser Hub.
• System scalability allows PowerTag Control modules to be easily installed in new or existing panels at any time with a simple commissioning operation.
• PowerTag Control modules are DIN rail mounted.

Installing the Device

Refer to the installation instruction supplied with this product. It is recommended to install the PowerTag within 3 metres of the Wiser Hub for best results. Signal quality is best maintained when there are no significant obstructions (thick walls, metal cabinets, etc.) between the PowerTag and your Wiser Hub. This ensures good network strength and helps prevent online/offline issues that might corrupt data.

Refer to the installation video: "How to Install PowerTag Control - IO Module". This video is applicable for the installation of PowerTag driving an Impulse relay using "remote indication auxiliary and 2 feedback loop wires".
