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+ is made according to the system variant used. You have the possibility to choose between the following three variants:

MAX! House solution

This is the solution for the entire house. With a MAX! Cube, all settings of connected devices in the 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 a MAX! House solution in a new installation.

Function

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+. With a MAX! Cube, the solution can be extended to a House solution.

MAX! Radiator solution

With the MAX! Radiator solution you can easily start using the MAX! system. The ambient temperature within a room can be flexibly controlled and regulated with up to 2 MAX! Radiator Thermostats+ and 3 MAX! Window Sensors. Configuration is performed directly on the MAX! Radiator Thermostat+.

With a MAX! Wall Thermostat+, the solution can be extended to a room solution, with a MAX! Cube it can be extended to a House solution.

Start-up

4.1 DIsplay content In normal moDe

Operating mode, week day, setpoint temperature, time, radio signal and switching time periods are displayed in normal mode. In the example, the MAX! Radiator Thermostat+ is in automatic mode (Auto) and the comfort temperature ( ) of 21.0°C is set. The weekday Tuesday (Tu) and the time (19:07 h) are displayed. The antenna symbol ( ) indicates that the connection to the taught-in components has been established. The heating phases are displayed as bar charts.

The bars for the heating phases in the week program will only be displayed if the saved temperature is higher than the reduction temperature. Please see section 10.1 for examples.

5 start-up

5.1 InsertIng (replacIng) batterIes

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

Start-up

• 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. „5.3 Installation on the radiator“ on page 10). The radiator thermostat starts an adapting run afterwards (see sec. „5.4 Adapting run“ on page 18).

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.

Start-up

5.2 set Date anD tIme

If batteries are inserted or replaced, the date and time is automatically requested after a brief display of the firmware version number:

• Set the year, month, day, hour and minute with the hand-

wheel and confirm with the Boost button. The motor moves the control pin backwards during the setting of date and time.

• If "InS" and the rotating activity symbol " " are displayed,

the motor still reverses. When only "InS" is shown in the display, the radiator thermostat can be installed on the valve.

The MAX! Radiator Thermostat+ can be configured already before installation. Press the auto/menu button for this, while „INS“ is shown in the display (see sec. „10 Configuration menu“ on page 26). After the programming has been completed, „InS“ is shown again in the display and installation can take place.

5.3 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 manufac-

Start-up

turers such as

• Heimeier

• MNG

• Junkers

• Landis&Gyr (Duodyr)

• Honeywell-Braukmann

• Oventrop

• Schlösser

• Comap

• Valf Sanayii

• Mertik Maxitrol

• Watts

• Wingenroth (Wiroflex)

• R.B.M

• Tiemme

• Jaga

• Siemens

• Idmar

By means of the adapters in the delivery, the device can be installed on radiator valves of type Danfoss RA, Danfoss RAV and Danfoss RAVL.

5.3.1 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:

Start-up

• Union nut: Unscrew the union nut in an anticlockwise di-

rection (2). The thermostat head can then be removed (3).

• Snap-on fastenings: Thermostat dials that have been at-

tached using this method can be easily released by giving the lock/union nut a slight turn in the anticlockwise direction (2). The thermostat head can then be removed (3).

• Compression fitting: The thermostat dial is held in place

by a mounting ring which is held together with a screw. Loosen this screw and remove the thermostat head from the valve (3).

• Threaded connection with set screw: Loosen the set screw

and remove the thermostat head (3).

5.3.2 Adapter for Danfoss

One of the provided adapters is needed to attach to Danfoss valves. The assignment of the suitable adapter ring to the relevant valve can be found in the following illustrations.

Please ensure that you do not trap your fingers between the two halves of the adapter!

The Danfoss valve bodies have elongated notches (I) around their circumference (see arrow), which also ensure that the adaptor is properly seated when it snaps on.

During installation, please ensure that the pins inside the adapter (J) are lined up with the notches (I) on the valve.

Ensure that a suitable adapter for the valve is properly clipped on. The RA and RAV adapters have been manufactured with pretension in order to provided a better seat. Use a screwdriver during installation if necessary, and bend it open slightly in the vicinity of the screw. After clipping onto the valve body, please attach the adapter using the provided screw and nut.

Start-up

During installation, please ensure that the pins inside

the adapter (J) are lined up with the notches (I) on the valve.

Start-up

Ensure that a suitable adapter for the valve is properly clipped on. The lifter extension (K) must be fitted to the valve pin of RAV valves prior to installation.

During installation, please ensure that the pins inside the adapter (J) are lined up with the notches (I) on the valve. Ensure that a suitable adapter for the valve is properly clipped on.

Start-up

The adapter RAVL does not have to be screwed.
