Description
Built for the trade. Carel Easy Series thermostats (PJEZ) are proven refrigeration controllers for low-temp and medium-temp cabinets, cold rooms and chillers. If you’re wiring a new case or swapping out a failed controller, these units commission fast, hold temp tight and stand up to rough jobsite conditions. Too easy.
Choose PJEZC00000 for low-temperature ventilated applications (compressor/fan/defrost) and PJEZS0H000 for static, medium-temperature jobs above 0 °C. The front panel is IP65 rated, so wash-downs and humid plant rooms won’t faze it — fair dinkum tough.
Key Features & Benefits
- IP65 front panel → resists dust and water jets for longer controller life in damp stores and wash-down areas.
- Purpose-built models → PJEZC for low-temp ventilated systems; PJEZS for static medium-temp cabinets, reducing mis-specs and call-backs.
- Hotkey programming → load parameters in seconds and keep the job moving.
- Probe flexibility → supports NTC/PTC sensors (model-dependent) for easy replacements on site.
- Clear LED display → fast checks at a glance, even in low-light plant rooms.
- Trade-ready bundles → PJEZC00000 ships with 2 × NTC probes so you can install straight away.
Why This Product Matters
Real talk: when you’re up on a roof in 40-degree heat and the deli case is sweating, you want a controller that just works. PJEZ units are built for that. PJEZC runs the compressor, evaporator fan and defrost logic in low-temp cases; PJEZS handles the essentials in static, medium-temp fridges. Pick the right model and you’re back in the ute quicker — no worries.

Pro Tip
When replacing a failed controller, copy out the old parameters first (or use the hotkey where available). On PJEZC units, verify defrost termination by evaporator probe rather than time where practical — it shortens pull-down and saves energy in Aussie summer conditions.
Compatibility & System Info
- PJEZS0H000 (Medium Temp, Static) – typically 1 relay for compressor; for cabinets above 0 °C.
- PJEZC00000 (Low Temp, Ventilated) – compressor, fan and defrost control for freezers/cold rooms.
- Sensors: NTC/PTC support (model-dependent). Use matching NTC probes for best accuracy.
Local note: From humid Sydney plant rooms to dry Brisbane warehouses, the IP65 front ensures the front face handles spray and dust (front panel only) — she’ll be right. Follow ANZ refrigerant handling practices on any service work.

FAQs
Q: Which model should I choose?
A: Use PJEZS0H000 for static, medium-temp cases above 0 °C. Use PJEZC00000 where you need compressor, fan and defrost control on low-temp ventilated equipment.
Q: Does the controller come with probes?
A: PJEZC00000 ships with two NTC probes. Other variants may differ, so check the product page; some listings for PJEZS0H000 include one NTC probe while others supply the controller only.
Q: Can I reuse existing probes?
A: PJEZ controllers accept NTC/PTC probes (model-dependent). If you’re swapping brands, verify sensor type and range against the PJEZ manual before reusing.
Q: Any compliance tips?
A: Follow the ANZ Refrigerant Handling Code of Practice and relevant AS/NZS references (e.g., AS/NZS 5149) when servicing systems — helps avoid leaks, keeps you compliant and cuts call-backs.
