General information
1 General information
These installation and operating instructions refer to the different models of the
Oventrop product “R-Tronic” and the associated radio controlled radiator actuator
“Aktor MH CON B” respectively “Aktor MD CON B”. The installation and operating
instructions which are intended for installers and final consumers serve to install the
wireless room controllers “R-Tronic T”, “R-Tronic TF” and “R-Tronic TFC”
professionally, to put them into operation and to use them correctly. The same applies
for the optional accessories.
NOTE
Read installation and operating instructions in their entirety before installing the
wireless thermostats “R-Tronic RT B”, “R-Tronic RTF B” or “R-Tronic RTFC K” and
their accessories. This will allow an (energy) efficient use of the product.
Please also take note of the brief instruction supplied with the product.
Advice for installers: The installation and operating instructions as well as all other valid
documents have to be handed over to the final user.
This documentation has to be kept for later reference and has to be handed over to
the new owner in case of resale.
The installation and operating instructions are copyrighted!
Please contact your specialist heating company or the company Oventrop if

Safety notes
2 Safety notes
2.1 Correct use
Safety in operation is only guaranteed if the climate display device/control
“R-Tronic” and the actuator “Aktor MH/MD CON B” are used correctly. The product
combination is used for the radio-based control of radiators and thus for temperature
control of individual rooms or temperature zones in a room. Moreover, the wireless
thermostat “R-Tronic RTF B”measures the air humidity and the “R-Tronic RTFC K”
additionally measures the CO2value (as recommendation for window airing). Please
observe that only Oventrop accessories (power packs etc.) must be installed. Any use
of the wireless controllers “R-Tronic RT B”, “R-Tronic RTF B”and “R-Tronic RTFC
K” and the actuator outside the above applications will be considered as non-
compliant and misuse.
Claims of any kind against the manufacturer and/or his authorised representatives due
to damages caused by incorrect use can not be accepted.
2.2 Residual risks and fundamental dangers
Even though the product combination “R-Tronic” and the associated actuator “Aktor
MH CON B” respectively “Aktor MD CON B” are 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 flush-mounted power pack (see page 16) has to be connected to the
230 V network. Connection must only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
Switch off current supply before cabling!
The occupational health and accident prevention regulations must be observed
during installation.
Avoid dangers from electricity, mechanical risks, risk of fire and thermal
dangers at hot surfaces.
The controller and the actuator 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).
Avoid risk of scalding at the radiator caused by excessive flow temperatures.
Please observe that excessive room temperatures may cause health problems
(cardiovascular problems or similar).
Avoid frost damages caused by too low flow temperatures.
Please avoid any contact with the products if allergies against the used material
(metal or similar) are known.

Safety notes
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 classification is, amongst others, based on the ISO 3864 standard and the
international ANSI standard Z535.6.
DANGER
Warning symbol and signal are indicating a dangerous situation with high risk which
will lead to death or serious injury if not avoided.
WARNING
Warning symbol and signal are indicating a dangerous situation with moderate risk
which may lead to death or serious injury if not avoided.
CAUTION
Warning symbol and signal are indicating a dangerous situation with low risk which
may lead to minor or moderate injury or damage to property if not avoided.
NOTICE
Signal word (without warning symbol) indicating a possible damage to property.
2.4 High-frequency emissions of wireless sensors
Under normal conditions (use in residential areas), the use of this product does not
constitute a hazard to health. The high-frequency emissions of wireless switches
and sensors with wireless technology are much lower than the emissions of
conventional switches with also emit electromagnetic fields. Please observe that
special regulations and standards apply for the medical sector (e.g. hospitals).
The
“R-Tronic” with the actuator “Aktor MH/MD CON B” is not suitable for use in the
medical sector.

Product description
3 Product description
3.1 Summary
The climate display device/control “R-Tronic“ and the actuator “Aktor MH CON B“
respectively “Aktor MD CON B“ are used for the radio controlled temperature control
of rooms or zones in a room. Depending on the model, the “R-Tronic” is powered by
two batteries, a flush-mounted power pack or a mains adaptor (100-240 V ~/50-60 Hz).
“R-Tronic“ models:
“R-Tronic RT B”: temperature control only, battery operated by default, power
supply can also be carried out via a flush-mounted power pack or a mains
adaptor which are available as optional accessory (item no.: 1150692 or 94).
“R-Tronic RTF B”: Temperature control with air humidity measurement,
battery operated by default, power supply can also be carried out via a flush-
mounted power pack or a mains adaptor which are available as optional
accessory (item no.: 1150692 or 94).
“R-Tronic RTFC K”: Temperature control with air humidity and
CO2measurement, powered by a flush-mounted power pack or a mains adapter.
The communication between the “R-Tronic” and the actuator “Aktor MH/MD CON B”
for the control of the radiator is wireless.
Up to 3 actuators can be connected to a battery-operated “R-Tronic” and up to
8 actuators to a mains-operated “R-Tronic”.
Application showing room temperature control with “R-Tronic” and actuator.
(Illustr. 1)
To guarantee a room temperature control according to the given set value, the
actuator always has to be “teached in”, i.e. it has to be adapted to the wireless room
controller. The technical term “teach in” describes the creation of a radio
connection between two devices.
