Overview
The Prolon PL-PN1-4E is a pre-wired, UL508A certified NEMA 1 control panel built with one Prolon C1050 controller running the Fan Coil Unit Controller program, which operates two-pipe or four-pipe hydronic fan coil systems using PI (proportional-integral) control loops. Isolation relays on all digital outputs, overcurrent fuse protection and clearly marked terminal blocks come factory wired.
Program strategies include two-pipe automatic mode change based on supply water temperature, periodic purge cycles and secondary backup heat control. The panel contains 1 Modbus RTU (RS485) node and runs stand-alone or on a Prolon network of up to 127 nodes.

Key Features
Two-pipe or four-pipe
Supports on-off and modulating valves in two-pipe or four-pipe configurations, with automatic changeover and purge cycles.
17A isolation relays
Every digital output is isolated by a relay rated 17A @ 277 VAC built into the panel (C1050 = 4), and the controller outputs are protected by resettable fuses.
Fused, pre-wired NEMA 1 panel
Clearly marked terminal blocks, wire management channels and a disconnect-style Slo-Blo fuse (3A @ 250 VAC) with a replacement fuse included. The panel wiring diagram is in the door, and all inputs and outputs are tested in the factory.
Reflash to another program
The C1050 keeps its full functionality, including the ability to reflash into a different controller program. Wiring diagrams are available free at proloncontrols.com.
SOURCE/SINK dipswitch per output
Each of the C1050's 4 triac outputs has its own SOURCE/SINK dipswitch on the controller.
Free Prolon Focus software
Remote monitoring and configuration with free Prolon Focus software, stand-alone or networked up to 127 nodes.
