private use only.

3 functIon

The MAX! Radiator Thermostat is responsible for regulat­ing the radiators within the MAX! system. During ventila­tion, the MAX! Radiator Thermostat automatically reduces
the temperature in a room in order to save on energy costs.

Communication between the MAX! components is bidirec­tional. This ensures that the information sent reaches the
recipient.

The configuration of the MAX! Radiator Thermostat depends
on the system variant used. You have the possibility to choose
between the following two variants:

MAX! House Solution

This is the solution for the entire house. With a MAX!
Cube, all settings of connected devices in your house
can comfortably be made via the MAX! software.

By using the MAX! Cube, several MAX! Radiator solu­tions and MAX! Room solutions can be connected to

5

Function

a new MAX! House solution in a new installation. In
this installation, the MAX! Eco Switch can optionally
be integrated.

MAX! Room solution

In the room solution, the settings of all connected
devices in your room can comfortably be made via
the MAX! Wall Thermostat+. Up to 8 MAX! Radiator
Thermostats and 8 MAX! Window Sensors can be con­nected and controlled via the MAX! Wall Thermostat+.

The MAX! Wall Thermostat+ has an internal sensor
that measures the temperature in the room and cycli­cally transmits it to the radiator thermostats.
With a MAX! Cube, the solution can be extended to a
House solution.

6.1 InsertIng (replacIng) batterIes

To insert the batteries into the MAX! Radiator Thermostat,
please proceed as follows:

• Remove the battery compartment cover by pushing it
forwards.

• Insert 2 LR06/mignon/AA batteries in the battery compart­ment, making sure they are the right way round.

• Reattach the battery compartment cover and latch it into
place.

After inserting batteries, the radiator thermostat has to be
mounted on the radiator (see sec. „6.2 Installation on the
radiator“ on page 9). The radiator thermostat starts an

adapting run afterwards (see sec. „6.3 Adapting run“ on
page 17).
A battery symbol (

) indicates that the batteries need to
be replaced. After removing the batteries, you should wait
approx. 1 minute before inserting the new ones.

The service life of new alkaline batteries is approxi­mately two years.

This device does not support operation with recharge­able batteries.

Never recharge standard batteries. Doing so will pre­sent a risk of explosion. Do not throw the batteries
into a fire! Do not short-circuit batteries.

Used batteries should not be disposed of with
regular domestic waste! Instead, take them to
your local battery disposal point.

6.2 InstallatIon on the raDIator

The MAX! Radiator Thermostat is easy to install and can be
done without draining heating water or intervening in the
heating system. No special tools are required, nor does the
heating have to be switched off.

The union nut attached to the radiator thermostat can be
used universally and without accessories for all valves with
a thread size of M30 x 1.5 from the most popular manufac­turers such as

6.2.1 Removing the old dial

Rotate the thermostat dial to the maximum value (1) (an­ti-clockwise). The thermostat dial then no longer presses
against the valve spindle, making it easier to remove.

There are different ways of fixing the position of the ther­mostat dial:
