193-PCT | Allen-Bradley | Handheld Programming and Control Terminal

Product Overview

The 193-PCT functions as a dedicated handheld programming and control terminal designed for the Allen-Bradley motor protection series. This portable HMI enables engineers and technicians to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot E3 and E3 Plus Electronic Overload Relays directly at the motor control center (MCC). It provides real-time access to diagnostic data and parameter settings without requiring a permanent PC connection. We offer this unit as 100% Brand New and factory-original, ensuring clean keypad response and display clarity for your critical maintenance tasks.

Technical Specifications

The 193-PCT utilizes low-power architecture and a ruggedized handheld design to withstand harsh industrial environments.

Engineering Advantages

• Direct Parameter Manipulation: The 193-PCT eliminates the need for complex network configurations during initial setup. It plugs directly into the relay’s communication port, allowing users to modify trip settings, reset modes, and communication addresses in seconds.

• Ruggedized Portability: Engineered for the "front-line" of maintenance, the lightweight 0.64 lb chassis fits easily into a technician's toolkit. The robust casing protects internal electronics from the vibration and dust typical of industrial switchgear rooms.

• Instant Diagnostic Visualization: The terminal pulls real-time data from the protection relay, displaying phase currents, trip history, and diagnostic fault codes. This immediate feedback accelerates fault isolation, significantly reducing Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) during motor failure events.

• Efficient Power Sourcing: The device draws power (11-25V DC) directly from the connected relay or network link. This "plug-and-play" capability removes the burden of managing external batteries or separate power adapters during site-wide commissioning.

FAQs

• Is the 193-PCT compatible with newer E300 series relays?

  The 193-PCT specifically supports the legacy E3 and E3 Plus series. For newer E300 series relays, Allen-Bradley typically utilizes different interface modules or integrated web servers.

• Can I leave the 193-PCT permanently connected to the relay?

  While designed for handheld use, you can leave it connected for local monitoring. However, most engineers use it as a portable tool for periodic maintenance and initial parameter entry.

• What should I do if the terminal does not power up when plugged in?

  Verify that the relay is receiving at least 11V DC and check the communication cable integrity. Since the 193-PCT relies on the host device for power, insufficient voltage on the control circuit will prevent the terminal from initializing.

• How do you guarantee this is "Brand New" given its discontinued status?

  We source the 193-PCT from climate-controlled, factory-sealed surplus inventory. Every unit arrives in its original Allen-Bradley packaging with pristine keypad membranes and no history of field use, avoiding the common "ghosting" or button-sticking issues found in used surplus.
