1.2 Intended use
The device is intended for use only in industrial environments, as specified in the Technical
data (↗15). According to the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU, use in residential areas is not
permitted. Any other use or use beyond that is regarded as inappropriate. The device is built
in accordance with the applicable guidelines and standards as well as the applicable safety
regulations. However, improper use may result in personal injury or damage to property. In
order to avoid danger, the device may only be used:
•f for the intended purpose,
•in perfect working order,
•by qualified persons,
•in compliance with the technical documentation supplied.
Even if the device is used appropriately or according to its intended purpose, it may pose
application-related hazards, e.g. due to missing safety devices of the surrounding workplace
or the surrounding plant or incorrect settings.
1.3 Disposal
DISPOSAL!
The device or replaced parts should not be put in the waste bin after
the end of use, as it consists of materials that can be reused by
specialised recycling plants.
Please, have the device and the packaging material properly disposed
of in an environmentally friendly manner.
In doing so, the country-specific laws and regulations for waste
treatment and disposal must be observed.
1.4 Further information
NOTE!
In the PDF version of this manual, clicking on an image or an internal
document reference will take you directly to further information.

2Assembly instructions
Make sure the device is used for the intended purpose only.
R4000 controllers are designed for installation in control panels. Protect the device against
impermissible humidity and contamination. The permitted ambient temperature range may not
be exceeded. Electrical connections must be made according to valid regulations and by
properly qualified personnel.
If using thermocouple sensors, compensation lines have to be connected directly to the
controller terminals. Sensors may be connected only in compliance with the programmed range.
Sensor cables and signal lines (e.g. logic or linear voltage outputs) must be laid separately
from control lines and mains voltage supply cables (power cables).
In order to maintain CE-Compliance screened detectors - and signal lines have to be used. It
is not permitted to connect the grounds of the sensor-inputs and logic-outputs with each other.
Separate installation of controller and inductive loads is recommended. Interference from
contactor coils must be suppressed by connecting adapted RC-combinations parallel to the
coils. Control circuits (e.g. for contactors) should not be connected to the mains power supply
terminals of the controller.
The configuration parameters are generally to be selected first (↗13 System).
The contents of this document are checked for the conformity with the hardware and software
described. Nevertheless, we are unable to preclude the possibility of deviations so that we are
unable to assume warranty for full compliance. However, the information given in the
publication is reviewed regularly. Necessary amendments are incorporated in the following
editions.
We would be pleased to receive any improvement proposals which you may have. The
information contained herein is subject to change without notice.
Electronic scrap and components are subject to special treatment and must be disposed of by
authorised companies.

4.3 Connection diagram: Sensors
It is not permitted to connect the grounds of the sensor-inputs and logic-outputs with each
other!
RTD/Ni120: The parameter Sensor Settings/Sensor has to be set accordingly to the connection
diagram (2-wire/3-wire) (↗13.5).
4.4 Anschlussbild: Logikausgänge
The power supply for the logic outputs has to be wired
externally:
+24 V have to be applied to the terminals B3 and G3.
B3 is connected internally to E3 and G3 is connected to
K3.
So the terminals E3 and K3 can be used to loop the +24 V.
The 24 V are switched to the outputs out x and thus control
the SSRs. Reference potential is the ground of the supply
voltage.

NOTE!
If continuous outputs are existed, the relay outputs are not available.
The GND connection terminals C5 - C7 and H5 - H7 are bridged. The output automatically
switches to current or voltage, depending on the connected load.
4.7 Connection diagram: E-Bus for extension module
The extension module R4010, for extension to 12 or 16 zones, is
connected to the R4000 via the E-bus.
The lines „E-Bus L“ and E-Bus H“ must be connected to the
corresponding terminals of the R4010.
The connection must be designed as a shielded cable. The shield has to
be connected the earth (housing) at the R4010 side.

The header displays the current zone and the name
of the parameter (here: “Setpoint 1“).
By pressing the number keys the value of the
parameters can be entered. In order to take over
the parameter value, it must be saved by pressing
the SAVE key.
Explanations to the individual fields:
The value, entered by pressing the number keys, is now displayed within
the blue frame.
Underneath, on the left the unit is shown and the previous value is
displayed on the right (250 °C).
The allowed range is displayed at the bottom (0 ... 800 °C).
If this Button is visible, two adjustable parameters are available.
Such as: Setpoint: 1/2 or ramp: rising/falling
Switch over by pressing this button. The name of the actual parameter
is displayed in the header. After adjusting one parameter the window
will not be closed and the second parameter can be adjusted.
This key is visible when the parameter has a valid value OFF.
OFF can be selected like a number key.
Key to enter minus or comma.
The minus sign can be pressed before entering a number. After the first
number was entered the key automatically changes to comma.
Delete last character.
