4. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and safety of the H-Tronic 110990 TDR 2004. Consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure about any steps.
4.1 Mounting the Device
- Choose a suitable location that is dry, well-ventilated, and free from excessive vibrations or direct sunlight.
- Ensure adequate space around the unit for ventilation and access to terminals.
- Mount the controller securely using appropriate screws and mounting hardware (not included).
4.2 Electrical Connections
WARNING: Disconnect all power before making any electrical connections.
- Identify the power input terminals on the device. Connect the main power supply according to the wiring diagram provided in the device's internal documentation or on the unit itself.
- Connect the temperature sensors (e.g., NTC, PT1000, depending on model compatibility) to the designated sensor input terminals. Ensure correct polarity if applicable.
- Connect the controlled load (e.g., pump, heater, fan) to the relay output terminals. Observe the maximum switching capacity of the relay.
- Double-check all connections for tightness and correct wiring before applying power.

5. Operating Instructions
This section provides general guidance on operating your H-Tronic 110990 TDR 2004. Specific menu navigation and parameter settings may vary; refer to the detailed programming guide (if supplied separately) for advanced configurations.
5.1 Initial Power-Up
- After ensuring all connections are secure, apply power to the device.
- The display should illuminate, showing current temperature readings or a startup sequence.
5.2 Setting Temperature Parameters
The TDR 2004 is a differential temperature controller, meaning it controls based on the temperature difference between two points (e.g., collector and storage tank in a solar thermal system).
- Differential ON (ΔT_ON): This parameter sets the temperature difference at which the relay will switch ON (e.g., pump starts).
- Differential OFF (ΔT_OFF): This parameter sets the temperature difference at which the relay will switch OFF (e.g., pump stops).
- Maximum Temperature (T_MAX): An upper limit for one of the sensors, often used for safety or to prevent overheating.
- Minimum Temperature (T_MIN): A lower limit for one of the sensors, often used for frost protection.
Use the navigation buttons (usually UP, DOWN, SET/MENU) on the device to access and adjust these parameters. Consult the device's display and button layout for specific instructions.
5.3 Monitoring
The display typically shows the current temperatures from the connected sensors and the status of the relay output (ON/OFF).
6. Maintenance
The H-Tronic 110990 TDR 2004 is designed for low maintenance. Regular checks can help ensure its longevity and reliable operation.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Connections: Annually check all electrical connections for tightness and signs of corrosion.
- Ventilation: Ensure that ventilation openings are not obstructed to prevent overheating.
- Sensor Check: Periodically verify the accuracy of your temperature sensors if possible, or check for physical damage to the sensor cables.
WARNING: Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your H-Tronic 110990 TDR 2004, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not power on. | No power supply; incorrect wiring; faulty fuse. | Check power connection; verify wiring; replace fuse if necessary (by qualified personnel). |
| Incorrect temperature readings. | Faulty sensor; incorrect sensor type selected; poor sensor connection. | Check sensor wiring; replace sensor; ensure correct sensor type is configured in settings. |
| Relay does not switch ON/OFF as expected. | Incorrect ΔT_ON/ΔT_OFF settings; load exceeding relay capacity; faulty relay. | Review and adjust differential temperature settings; check load specifications; contact support if relay is suspected faulty. |
| Display shows error message. | Sensor error; internal fault. | Refer to the device's specific error code list (if available); check sensor connections; contact support. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact H-Tronic customer support.
