Summary of Contents for Micropelt MLR003
Page 1
The Micropelt MLR003R product series has been designed for use with heating radiators and M30x1,5 valve thread. LoRaWAN allows to control heating radiators over long distances, even inside buildings. Significant cost savings on labor and material cost for wiring, network infrastructure, building structural changes will reduced the amortization time over conventional systems while installing the system is only a matter of days.

3 General Description MLR003R This document defines the properties of Micropelt’s maintenance free, intelligent thermostatic head MLR00RiEU61-07-1.1. This MLR003 is used for control of heating radiators with standard valve connection M30x1.5 (Section 10). MLR00RiEU61-07-1.1 is an 868MHz LoRaWAN CLASS-A wireless actuator operating in SF7BW125.

Copyright Micropelt Unsuccessful radio communication attempts are reported by status bit RCE. After 6 consecutive unsuccessful radio communication attempts (acknowledge from the gateway), the actuator automatically switches to the safety mode and safety values as specified by the user. In this situation, the radio communication period is increased to once every hour.

Copyright Micropelt 6 Power management MLR003R 6.1 Energy Harvesting The actuator obtains the electrical energy required for operation by means of a thermoelectric generator (TEG), from the temperature difference between the heating flow temperature and the room temperature. During active flow temperatures, excess energy is accumulated in the internal storage. The energy balance of the actuator is designed to allow operation through 366 days per year when used in typical circulation strands with hot water supply throughout the year.

Copyright Micropelt 7 Forced Heating MLR003R Forced heating is defined as the state that the actuator assumes when it can no longer maintain normal operation due to the discharge of its internal energy store (Storage voltage level <2V). Instead, it takes a protective position in heating mode to avoid possible freeze damage.
