1. Introduktion
The Elektrobock RJ402 is a differential temperature switch designed to control a circulation pump based on temperature differences between two points. It activates the pump when a set temperature difference is detected and deactivates it when the difference falls below a specified hysteresis value. This device is ideal for optimizing energy usage in various heating and cooling systems.

2. Produktet er slutview
The RJ402 unit features intuitive controls and indicators for easy setup and monitoring:
- Funktionskontakt: Selects between ON, OFF, and AUTO modes.
- Differential Temperature Dial (Diff T °C): Sets the temperature difference required to activate the relay.
- Hysteresis Dial (Hys °C): Sets the temperature reduction value for relay deactivation.
- PWR-indikator: Green LED indicates power supply.
- RE 1 Indicator: Red LED indicates relay status (active/inactive).
- Sensorindgange: Connections for two NTC 10k temperature sensors.
- Relæudgang: Potential-free contacts for controlling external devices.

The text explains its function in controlling circulation pumps based on temperature differentials and hysteresis.
3. Installation og ledningsføring
The RJ402 is designed for DIN rail mounting. Proper installation and wiring are crucial for safe and effective operation. All electrical work should be performed by a qualified electrician.
3.1 Ledningsdiagram
Refer to the detailed wiring diagram below for connecting the power supply, temperature sensors, and the controlled device (e.g., a pump).
Image 3: Detailed technical diagram showing the wiring connections for the Elektrobock RJ402. It labels the terminals for Temperature Sensor 1, Temperature Sensor 2, Function Switch, Power Supply, and Relay Contact. It also indicates the adjustment dials for differential temperature (relay activation) and hysteresis (relay deactivation), along with Live (L), Neutral (N), and Load (M) connections.
3.2 Tilslutningstrin
- Strømforsyning: Connect the 230 V AC power supply to the designated L (Live) and N (Neutral) terminals.
- Temperatursensorer: Connect Temperature Sensor 1 and Temperature Sensor 2 to their respective terminals. Ensure correct polarity if specified by the sensor type.
- Relæudgang: Connect the device to be controlled (e.g., a circulation pump) to the potential-free relay contacts. The relay acts as a switch, so connect the load's power line through these contacts.
- Montering: Securely mount the RJ402 unit onto a standard DIN rail.
4. Betjening
The RJ402 offers three operational modes controlled by the function switch:
- PÅ: The relay is constantly switched on, regardless of temperature differences.
- OFF: The relay is constantly switched off, regardless of temperature differences.
- BIL: The relay operates based on the set differential temperature and hysteresis values. This is the primary operational mode for automatic control.
4.1 Setting Differential Temperature (Diff T °C)
Use the upper dial to set the desired temperature difference between Sensor 1 and Sensor 2 that will activate the relay. The adjustable range is typically +20 °C to +80 °C.
4.2 Setting Hysteresis (Hys °C)
Use the lower dial to set the hysteresis value. This value determines how much the temperature difference must decrease below the activation point before the relay deactivates. The adjustable range is typically +2 °C to +35 °C. Hysteresis prevents rapid cycling (on/off) of the controlled device.
5. Ansøgning Eksamples
The Elektrobock RJ402 is versatile and can be used in various temperature-controlled systems.
5.1 Automatic Pump Activation in a Solar Heating System
In a solar heating system, the RJ402 can control a pump to transfer heat from solar collectors to a water storage tank.
