1Introduction
This document describes technical specifications and user operation of the TAR2 Wireless Actuator.
Product was developed and manufactured in the Czech Republic. All rights reserved TESLA. Offer or
delivery of products or services related to the product does not include transfer of ownership rights.
Before using the product, please read this manual carefully and understand all operating and safety
precautions. Compliance with operational and safety precaution can prevent from damage to equipment or
injuries to personnel. Operating and safety instructions in the document are marked as follows:
Attention! This formatted text indicates the operating and safety instructions.
The product may only be used in the specified manner and for its intended purpose. The product may be
provided to third persons along with this documentation only.
2Description and Utilization
TAR2 actuator is wireless switching unit of a system (wireless relay) which allows direct switching low
power input load or switching control signals of high power relay which can then switch even very high
power inputs. The actuator is equipped with memory relay which minimizes consumption because the relay
only consumes current during switching pulse at the duration of 10 msec. This allows supplying the unit
from a replaceable lithium battery with an estimated life longer than 2 years of operation.
Attention! For setting and controling of the Actuator it is essential to have wireless Central Unit in
system, see http://www.tesla.cz/en/tera-centrala/. The Central Unit is not included with package of
TAR2 and it is sold and delivered extra.
Setting and configuration of TAR2 Wireless Actuator and whole system is also managed by connected
computer to Cenral Unit and TERAview application on PC.
TERAview application, drivers and user manual with detail configuration description is free downloaded on
website: http://www.tesla.cz/en/ke-stazeni/.
TAR2 Wireless Actuator can be used in this system:
TERA System for Regulating Radon Concentrations (Figure 1)
Regulating system diagram description - Radon measuring probes located in a building transmit their
current radon concentration values to central unit wirelessly. The central unit analyzes this information and
on the basis of measured (set) concentration level value it sends wireless command to actuator which is
hardwired with power relay. Power relay switches on a fan which decreases radon concentration within an
area. After decreasing of radon concentration, the actuator receives a command to switch off the fan. This
cycle repeats depending on an increasing or decreasing volume activity of radon a building.

Figure 1 - TAR2 Wireless Actuator in TERA System for Regulating Radon Concentrations
Actuator is possible to be easily located near an air-conditioning actuating unit such as a fan located for
example, in a cellar. In case of setting in regulation system the Actuator must be placed in radio range of the
Central Unit. Distance (radio range) between TAR2 and central unit is up to 600 m in open space. In
buildings it depends on number of walls, building material, etc. Strength of radio signals (RSSI) is monitored
by Central Unit.
Attention! If radio signal strength between individual elements is insufficient, TSR2 radon probe must
be inserted or repeater must be used to extend the signal, see http://www.tesla.cz/en/tera-retranslator/.

5Operating Instruction
Switching on:
Remove screws and housing and insert battery (see figure below, red arrow indicates positive pole, blue
arrow indicates negative pole). Inserted battery switches actuator on. Reinstall housing and screw in the
screws. Reverse the procedure to switch the device off or to replace the battery.
When installing antenna, hold antenna by knurled end.
Configuration:
Setting and configuration of the Actuator and whole measuring system is realized by Central Unit
connected to PC and TERAview application. Central Unit is not included with package of TAR2 and it is sold
and delivered extra; see http://www.tesla.cz/en/tera-centrala/.
TERAview application, drivers and user manual with detail configuration description is free downloaded
on website: http://www.tesla.cz/en/ke-stazeni/.
For successful actuator configuration in measuring system it is essential to know actuator radio channel
number (communication wireless channel) and P2P address (identification in wireless net). Both parameters
are printed out on actuator serial number plate. Actuator radio channel number is possible to change by
TERAview application and it must be identical to central unit radio channel number. P2P address is
permanent and it can occur in one big wireless net only once. Central Unit P2P address can be identical to
P2P address of other elements in network.
6Basic Maintenance
Battery replacement:
Current battery charge status of Actuator can be monitored wirelessly by Central Unit (see ´Operating
instruction/Configuration´). In case of low battery capacity Central Unit displays warning message. To
replace discharged battery follow ´Operating Instructions / Switching on´ paragraphs. Replace it with
appropriate type of battery (see ´Product Specification´). Batteries can be ordered from TESLA
manufacturer or distributor (see ´Accessories´).
7Safety
Installation, connection and operation may only be carried out by a specialist with relevant qualification
who is perfectly familiarized with this manual and device function.
Always ensure that there is no power in a connected device before proceeding with installation.
8Electrical Connection
Output relay can switch power load up to 30W (1A/30V) or it is possible to connect directly TPS2 power
relay 1500 VA (6A/250V) from TERA program; see http://www.tesla.cz/en/tera-rele/.
Attention! Switching relay of actuator is not designed for switching mains 230V / 50Hz!
