The “thermio™ eco B1” timer is an analogue single-channel synchronous timer that switches connected loads on and off at defined times.
The “thermio™ eco B1” timer is used to regulate a heating circuit. It can be connected to a water circuit, a heating circuit or a joint water/heating circuit. A joint water/heating circuit is then regulated
jointly. Simultaneous regulation of, for example, central heating and hot water is implemented using just
one switching output.

The “thermio™ eco B2” timer is an analogue two-channel synchronous timer that switches connected
loads on and off at defined times.
The “thermio™ eco B2” timer is used to regulate two heating circuits. Hot water or heating circuits can
be connected and regulated independently of each other in the OFF and CONST. operating mode. In
TIME operating mode, the two heating circuits are regulated together, according to the setting of the ON
or OFF tappets. Individual regulation of, for example, central heating and hot water is implemented using
two independent switching outputs.

prior knowledge.
EN
15

Installation
Electric connection and installation
The device is mounted on the wall. If mounted on the wall, the connection wires either come directly out
of the wall or they are routed to the device on top of the wall.
In general, the following instructions apply to both connection wire options.
Where there are differences, the corresponding installation type is specified
before the instructions.
WARNING!
Danger to life due to electric shock!
Improper assembly and installation of the device can lead to life-threatening
electrical voltages.
− Have assembly and connection performed by a qualified electrician only.
16

NOTICE!
Danger of material damage to wires in the wall!
Selecting the wrong installation position can result in material damage to any
wires in the wall.
− Make sure that there are no wires in the wall at the installation position.
Personnel:
• Qualified electrician
Special tool:
• Power drill
• Drill
• Flat-head screwdriver
• Phillips screwdriver
Prerequisite:
• The terminals for the flexible wires have a maximum cross-section of 4 mm².

3.
When selecting the installation position, make sure that a distance of at
least 4 cm is left free below the mounting plate to leave space to open
the cover and undo the safety screw.
Mark the hole pattern from the mounting plate (Fig. 5/2) onto the wall.
4. Drill holes at the points you marked.
5. Insert suitable wall-plugs for the screws into the holes.
6. Connection wires directly out of the wall: Thread the connection wire into the device through the
cable feed-through (Fig. 5/3).
7. On-wall connection wires: Break out the necessary defined breaking point (Fig. 5/6) and thread
through the connection wires.
EN

Connecting
9. Strip insulation from the connection wires.
• Stripping length: 8 mm
10.
The housing is doubly insulated (protection class 2) so no earthing con-
nection is necessary. To improve the appearance, insert the earth connection into the earth terminal.
Insert the earth connection wires into the earth contact (Fig. 5/4).
To ensure that the wiring is correct, consult the operating manual for the
heating system in use.

NOTICE!
Risk of material damage due to turning anti-clockwise!
Turning the dial or the clock hand anti-clockwise can result in material
damage to the timer.
− Make sure to turn the dial and clock hand clockwise only.
To roughly set the time, turn the dial (Fig. 19/2) clockwise until the indicator marker (Fig. 19/3)
points to the current time.
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.
48

2. To finely adjust the time, turn the minute hand (Fig. 19/1) clockwise until the time indicated by the
indicator marker (Fig. 19/3) matches the current time.

Each tappet represents 15 minutes 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. 20/1) or ON (Fig. 20/2), according to your desired switching times.
2. To activate the timer, switch the manual switch to the TIMED operating mode.
