Operating Instructions
ATR 4500
ATR 4800
ATR 4500 Surface Mounted Digital Temperature Controller
Important!
The device may only be opened by an electrically skilled person and must be installed as shown on the circuit diagram on the device and in these instructions. The existing safety regulations must be followed.
The relevant installation measures must be taken to achieve the requirements of protection class II. This independently mountable electronic device is used to control the temperature in dry and enclosed rooms only, with normal environment. This device conforms to EN 60730, it operates according to type 1Y.
Areas of Use
The electronic temperature controllers ATR 4100/4500/4800 can be used to control the floor and room temperature. The products are suitable for water-based and (with usage of external contactor/relay) for electric heating systems.
Installation site
- The controller should be mounted in a place in the room that is easy to access for operation.
- Mounting height: approx. 1.5 m above the floor.
- Preference should be given to installation on an internal wall.
Avoid external walls and draughts from windows and doors. - Ensure that the room’s normal convection air reaches the controller freely without restriction. The controller should therefore not be mounted inside shelf units or behind curtains and similar coverings.
- Extraneous heat has a negative influence on the control accuracy.
- Direct sunshine, proximity to televisions, radios and heaters, lamps, stoves and heating pipes must be avoided.
Electrical connection / mounting
Installation in the following steps:
- Connect the backplate terminals according to the circuit dia- gram (see laser marking on backplate or these instructions)
- Snap the front part onto the backplate

Attention
Risk of fatal injury, due to electric shock. The appliance is not safety extra-low voltage device (SELV ). The sensor cables are connected to 230 V AC mains voltage. Only use sensors with insulated cables. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.

Universal input
The function of the universal input can be set in the Installer Menu (Heating/Cooling change-over OR Setback OR Presence) When the H/C input is energized (230 V ), the device switches to Cooling Mode.
When the setback input is energized (230 V), the device switches to Unoccupied Mode (Unoccupied temperature is settable via User Menu).
When the presence input is energized (230 V), the controller switches to Occupied Mode.
AUTO/HOLIDAY/@HOME/TIMER selections are ignored while the device is in Unoccupied Mode.
