WARNING
Network security
ALERTON hereby expressly states that the ALERTON AL-R controller is not inherently protected against
cyber-attacks from the Internet and that it is therefore intended solely for use in private, protected networks.
Unprotected internet connections can expose the ALERTON AL-R controller to cyber-attacks from third
Parties who can then damage it and connected facility components or cause them to malfunction, or who can
misuse it for illegal purposes for which the operator may then be held liable.
When directly connected to the Internet, the ALERTON AL-R controller automatically becomes a potential target for
cyber-attacks. Corresponding protective measures are therefore essential if safe and reliable operation is to be ensured.
If it is not necessary for the ALERTON AL-R controller to be accessible from the Internet, it should be
Isolated from the Internet via a suitable firewall.
If it is necessary for the ALERTON AL-R controller to be accessible from the Internet (e.g. in order to Perform
remote maintenance), the use of a coded VPN connection is indispensable. Suitable VPN router are available
from numerous third-party manufacturers in a wide variety of designs, for Operation at 230 V or 24V.
For details, see also MERLIN NX Networking Whitepaper (Product Literature No.: EN2z-1059GE51).

no need to manually set the MAC address.

NOTE: The VC6983 actuator is intended for use at relay
outputs, only and must not be used at the
controller's triac outputs.

Triac Current Limitations

The max. allowed current with which the ensemble of a con-
troller's triacs may be loaded is dependent upon whether the
given model is powered with 24 VAC or with 230 VAC (and,
in the case of models powered with 230 VAC, upon whether
the outputs are supplied by the controller's internal trans-
former or by an external current supply). Specifically:
▪ In the case of 24 VAC models, the ensemble of a con-
troller's triacs may be loaded with 600 mA.
▪ In the case of the 230 VAC models, if the triacs are
supplied with 24 VAC current by the controller's internal
transformer, the ensemble of a controller's triacs may be
loaded with 300 mA (or 320 mA for a max. of 2 minutes);
when supplied by an external source, this value is
doubled.
However, regardless of whether the triacs are supplied
internally or externally, a single triac must never be loaded
with a current of more than 300 mA (320 mA for max. 2
minutes).
Nevertheless, the ensemble of triacs can be loaded for very
short periods of time (on the order of milliseconds) with a
current on the order of 2500 mA typically encountered when
switching on multiple thermal actuators.

Universal Inputs
The terminal blocks containing the controller's universal
inputs are blue. Universal input types: See Table 4.
The universal inputs are protected against voltages of max.
29 VAC and 30 VDC (due to, e.g., miswiring).
