2. Safety notes
2.1 Intended use
The wireless thermostat "R-Tronic" and wireless receiver "R-Con" are used for
the wireless temperature control of rooms with surface heating circuits. The
wireless thermostats "R-Tronic" are not only used for menu navigation and
setting of heating programmes but temperature, air humidity and CO2 values
(depending on the model) are also displayed.
Safety in operation is only guaranteed if the wireless thermostats "R-Tronic"
and the wireless receiver "R-Con" are used correctly. Please observe that only
Oventrop accessories (power packs etc.) must be installed. Any use of the
wireless thermostats "R-Tronic RT B", "RTF B", "RTFC K" and the wireless
receiver "R-Con" outside the above applications will be considered as non-
compliant and misuse.
2.2 Residual risks and fundamental dangers
Even though the product combination "R-Tronic + R-Con" is in accordance
with the latest technical status and the approved safety rules and regulations,
dangers do still exist. For this reason, the following safety notes must be
observed:
• The ush-mounted power pack of the "R-Tronic" has to be connected to
the 230 V network. Connection must only be carried out by a qualied
electrician. Switch off the current supply before cabling! Avoid dangers
from electricity!
• The occupational health and accident prevention regulations must be
observed during installation.
• Distributor/collector components for surface heating systems may
present a risk of scalding (hot surfaces, hot water). Avoid mechanical
risks and risk of re.
• The wireless thermostat and wireless receiver must only be installed in
dry, closed rooms.
• Provide protective equipment (safety gloves and similar) during
installation, if required.
• Keep small components and accessories out of reach of children (risk of
ingestion).
• Please observe that excessive room temperatures may cause health
problems (cardiovascular problems or similar).
• Please avoid any contact with the products if allergies against the used
material are known.
• Avoid frost damages caused by too low ow temperatures.

2.3 Warnings and their meaning
This manual shows warnings for a safe installation and operation of the
product, especially at text passages with action-related information. These
warnings must be observed to avoid accidents, damage to property and
malfunctions. The below hazard classi cation is, amongst others, based on
the ISO 3864 standard and the international ANSI standard Z536.6.
2.4 High-frequency emissions of wireless sensors

3. Product description
3.1 Summary
The wireless thermostat "R-Tronic" and wireless receiver "R-Con" are used for
the programmable temperature control of rooms with surface heating circuits.
The radio communication between the "R-Tronic" and "R-Con" is wireless.
One wireless thermostat may communicate with the wireless receiver via a
maximum of 8 channels (mains operation).
Depending on the model, the "R-Tronic" is powered by two batteries, a ush-
mounted power pack or a mains adaptor (100-240 V ~/50-60 Hz). The wireless
thermostats requires a 230 V alternating voltage.
"R-Tronic" models:
• "R-Tronic RT B":
Temperature display and programmable temperature control, battery
operation by default, power supply can also be carried out via a ush-
mounted power pack or a mains adaptor which are available as optional
accessory (item no. 1150692 or 94).
• "R-Tronic RTF B":
Temperature display, programmable temperature control and air
humidity measurement, battery operation by default, power supply can
also be carried out via a ush-mounted power pack or a mains adaptor
which are available as optional accessory (item no. 1150692 or 94).
• "R-Tronic RTFC K":
Temperature display, programmable temperature control and air
humidity and CO2 measurement powered by a ush-mounted power
pack or a mains adaptor by default.
• "R-Con" 8 channel wireless receiver with logic module:
Control of 8 independent heating circuits (a maximum of 32 actuators
230 V or 24 V can be connected to the distributor/collector for surface
heating, a maximum of 32 heating circuits may thus be controlled). The
number of channels can be increased by extending the wireless receiver
by further control modules.
Integrated burner logic for heat demand to a boiler.
Integrated pump logic with adjustable lead time and follow-up time.
Depending on the spatial conditions, an antenna extension for
improvement of reception and/or a repeater (item no. 1153060 / 1150699)
for amplication of the "R-Tronic" radio signals are used.

"R-Tronic" + "R-Con" Installation & initial operation
19
4. Installation and initial operation
4.1 General installation advice
The climate display device/control "R-Tronic" should be installed at a location
where a good circulation of air is guaranteed. If possible, the "R-Tronic" should
be mounted onto an inner wall or a pillar at a height of 140 cm to 170 cm.
Please make sure that the wireless thermostat is not affected by other heat
sources (such as sunlight or heating devices next to it).
The wireless thermostat cannot only be mounted onto a wall, but can also be
placed on a table stand which is available as optional accessory for all models.
The table stand should be set up freestanding, for instance on tables, side-
boards or similar and should not be covered.
The communication between the "R-Tronic" and the receiver "R-Con" is ra-
dio-based. Please observe that the radio range can be impaired by spatial
factors such as room geometry, existing objects, materials and interference
sources and so-called "radio shadows", for in-stance behind metal objects,
may develop.
Reduction of radio range compared with an unobstructed visual contact:
Material Radio range reduction
Wood, gypsum, uncoated glass 0 - 10%
Brickwork, wooden or gypsum
walls or walls made of press boards 5 - 35%
Armoured concrete 10 - 90%
Metal up to 100%
Note regarding radio communication between
"R-Tronic" and wireless receiver "R-Con"
It might therefore become necessary to re-position the wireless thermos-
tat to guarantee an uninterrupted radio communication to the receiver
"R-Con". Alternatively, technical measures, such as the use of an antenna
extension at the wireless receiver or of a wireless repeater might become
necessary. For more detailed information see paragraph 4.6.

"R-Tronic RT B / RTF B" (battery operation)
For the models "R-Tronic RT B" and "R-Tronic RTF B", power is either sup-
plied by batteries, a ush-mounted power pack or a mains adaptor with table
stand (available as accessories). The "R-Tronic RTFC K" is always operated
with a ush-mounted power pack or a mains adaptor.
If the "R-Tronic" models "RT B" and "RTF B" shall be used for battery opera-
tion, i.e. for standard operation, please proceed as follows:
1. Insert two AA 1.5 Mignon batteries into the battery case. The position of
the batteries is specied by the markings +/-.
(Illustration 7)
2. Screw the supplied xing plate horizontally onto the wall.
3. Insert the wireless thermostat into the xing plate from the top.
