INSTRUCTION

 

EV

R-ADD

Triac controller for proportional control 
of electric heating, add-on unit

R

-ADD is a complete proportional controller for electric heating. It 

has automatic voltage adjustment. It has no sensor input but is 
intended to be controlled by another 

R

 unit.

R

-ADD is only intended for electric heating control. The control 

principle makes it unsuitable for motor- or lighting control.

 

EVR-ADD 

cannot  control 3-phase loads.

Installation

Remove the front. The locking screw is behind the set-point knob. 

Mount  E R‑ADD  vertically  with  the  cooling  flange  at  the  top.  Use 

screws with a maximum head diameter of 5.5

 

mm.

 

R

-ADD emits approx

e

 20W of heat which must be 

dissipated. Ambient temp

e

: 0 - 30°C, non-condensing.

 

Protection class: IP20.

Wiring

Supply voltage

Terminals 1 and 2. Not polarity sensitive.

Supply voltage: 200 - 415V AC, 50 - 60 Hz with automatic voltage 

adjustment. Maximum current 16A.

Control principle

R

-ADD pulses the full load On - Off parallel to the master unit it is 

connected to.

E R‑ADD has zero phase‑angle firing to eliminate RFI.

Start-up and fault finding

 

Be careful when working in the 

R

-ADD. All internal 

components including the cooling flange are at line voltage potential. 

Never leave the unit under power without the front cover on.

1.

Check that all wiring is correct.

.

Measure the resistance between terminals 3 - 4: At 230V:
14.4

<R<230

.  At 400V:25

<R<400

.

.

Connect supply voltage and twist the setpoint knob of the master
unit between end stops. Check that the LED which can be seen
through the underside of 

R

-ADD goes on and off at the

 

same

time as the LED of the master unit. Check with a clamp-on

ammeter that current is flowing to the heater.

Anything wrong?

1.

Disconnect supply power. Remove the control signal wiring from
terminals I and I. Reconnect power. The LED should be continu-

ously off and no current should flow to the heater. Disconnect

power and connect the terminals I and I to the terminals 1 and 2.
Reconnect power. The LED should be continuously on and full

current should flow to the heater.

.

If everything is OK this far the 

R

-ADD is OK and the fault

must be found elsewhere.

Figure 1: Wiring of supply voltage and load

       

The supply voltage to 

R

-ADD should be wired via an all-pole 

switch with a minimum contact gap > 3mm. The cooling flange is live.

Load

Terminals 3 and 4.
Resistive single- or two-phase heater
Maximum load: 

3680W at 230V  (16A) 
6400W at 400V  (16A)

Minimum load: 

230W at 230V  (1A) 
400W at 400V  (1A)

Control signal

Terminals I and I. Not polarity sensitive.
Wire to terminals U and U in the main unit.

Figure 2: Wiring of control signal

 

R

-ADD is galvanically separate from the main unit.  

They may therefore be supplied from different phases. The 

R

-ADD 

control signal has high potential compared to neutral and earth (>200V). 
Thus, wiring of the control signal must comply with local codes for line 
voltage installations. The control signal must be wired so that the signal is 
cut when the supply voltage is cut.
