4 “thermio™ BG7S” timer
5 “thermio™ BG1S und BG1Q” timer
Description of function
The “thermio™ eco BG1S” and “thermio™ eco BG7S”
timers are analogue single-channel synchronous timers
and the “thermio™ eco BG1Q” is an analogue singlechannel quartz timer.
The “thermio™ BG1S” and “thermio™ eco BG1Q” times
can switch connected loads with a smallest possible
switching time of 15 minutes.
8

The “thermio™ BG7S” timer can switch a connected
load on each day with a smallest possible switching time
of 2 hours.
EN
9

Manual switch
The timers have a manual switch; this can switch
between the modes (automatic), 0 (OFF) and I (ON).
10

Power reserve
The “thermio™ eco BG1Q” timer has a built-in,
rechargeable battery. In the event of a power failure, the

The intended use also includes compliance with all information specified in this manual. Any use other than the
intended use is considered incorrect use.
Residual risks
WARNING!
Danger to life due to electric shock!
Improper assembly and installation of the
device may result in life-threatening electrical
voltages.
− Have assembly and connection performed
by a qualified electrician only.
EN
15

WARNING!
Danger due to insufficient wire cross-section!
If wires with an insufficiently large cross-section are used, short circuits or fires may occur.
− For the flexible wires, only use terminals
with a maximum cross-section of
2.5 mm².
16

Installation
The device is installed on a mounting socket (BS 4662 or
BS 5733). This mounting socket can be installed either
as a flush-mounted socket in the wall or it is installed on
the wall.

NOTICE!
Danger of material damage!
When the dial is lifted up, the connection
wires may be damaged.
− Lift up the dial carefully.
− Do not remove the dial from the
housing base.
Remove the housing cover (Fig. 2/4) and the dial
together with the connected housing base (Fig. 2/3).
4. Install the housing base (Fig. 2/2) on the mounting
socket (Fig. 2/1).

Preparing the electrical connection
5. Strip the insulation from the connection wire.
• Stripping length: 8 mm
6. Insert the wire end sleeves onto the connection
wires.
7. Crimp the wire end sleeves using the crimping
pliers.

Electric connections
9.
To ensure that the wiring is correct, consult the operating manual for the heating
system in use.
The devices have protection class 1, so
earthing is essential. Connect the earth
correctly.
Insert the earth connection wire into the earth contact (Fig. 3/2).
24

BG1S/BG7S mains connection
The diagram (Fig. 4) shows the wiring for
mains connection. The connection between
terminals 3 and 5 must be mounted.
For low-voltage, connect connections L
(230 V) or N to 5 or 4, respectively, and apply
the electric circuit to connections 3 and 2.
EN
25

10. Insert the connection wires into the corresponding
terminals in accordance with the relevant wiring
diagram (A = application/connected load; S = supply
voltage; N = neutral conductor; L = live conductor)
(Fig. 4).
BG1S/BG7S voltage-free connection
If there is no connection between terminals 3
and 5, it is possible to control the connected
loads in a separate circuit with different voltages up to 250 V AC.
To do so, connect connections L or N to 5 or 4,
respectively, and apply L
(in)
or L
(out)
to connec-
tion 2 or 3, respectively.

NOTICE!
Tightening torques
To avoid damage and faulty contacts,
tighten the terminals using a torque of
0.75 Nm.
Tighten all terminals using a Phillips screwdriver.

Closing the housing
NOTICE!
Danger of material damage to the wires!
When closing the housing, there is a risk of
pinching wires. This results in material
damage to the wires and faulty contacts.
− Make sure that the wires are not pinched
when the you close the housing.
14. Screw the dial (Fig. 2/3) and housing cover (Fig. 2/4)
onto the housing base (Fig. 2/2) using a flat-head
screwdriver.
15. Replace the plastic cover (Fig. 2/5).

Operation
Setting the day of the week/time
With the “thermio™ BG7S”" timer (Fig. 7/6)
the day of the week (Monday – Sunday) and
the current time have to be set. With the
“thermio™ BG1S” and “thermio™ eco BG1Q”
(Fig. 7/5) timers only the current time has to
be set.

NOTICE!
Risk of material damage due to turning
anti-clockwise!
Turning the dial or the clock hand anticlockwise can result in material damage
to the timer.
− Make sure to turn the dial and clock
hand clockwise only.
EN

“thermio™ BG7S” only: To set the current day of
the week, rotate the dial (Fig. 7/2) clockwise until
the indicator marker (Fig. 7/3) points to the current
day of the week.
Setting the time
2. To roughly set the time, turn the dial (Fig. 7/2)
clockwise until the indicator marker points to the
current time.
36

In 12 hour display: 6:00 = 6.00 (a.m.) and
16:00 = 4.00 (p.m.)
The timer does not distinguish between
summer and winter time. As a result, you
have to set the summer and winter time
manually by adjusting the current time.
3. To finely adjust the time, turn the minute hand
(Fig. 7/1) clockwise until the time indicated by the
indicator marker (Fig. 7/3) matches the current time.
ð
The dial and the clock hand rotate together
with the current time.

Setting the on/off time
Personnel:
• User
Fig. 8: Setting the tappets
1.
With the “thermio™ BG1S” and
“thermio™ eco BG1Q” timers, each
tappet corresponds to 15 minutes of
switching time.
38

With the “thermio™ BG7S” timer, each
tappet corresponds to 2 hours of
switching time.
If the tappets are pushed inwards, the
heating system is switched off during that
time; if the tappets are pushed outwards,
the heating system is switched on during
that time.
Push the tappets to OFF (Fig. 8/1) or ON (Fig. 8/2),
according to your desired switching times.
2. To activate the timer, switch the manual switch to
the position
