1. Intended use

With the MAX! Plug Adapter, electric radiators and boilers/circulation pumps can be controlled via radio.

Electric radiators

With the MAX! Plug Adapter, electric radiators can be controlled comfortably via the MAX! Software.

Individually configured temperature settings and week programmes are sent via the MAX! Software to the MAX! Wall Thermostat.

The MAX! Wall Thermostat measures the actual temperature in the room and - depending on the desired setpoint temperature - switches the MAX! Plug Adapter on and off.

Boilers/circulation pumps

In addition, with the MAX! Plug Adapter boilers/circulation pumps can be switched on and off via the MAX! Software.

The MAX! Plug Adapter can be installed quickly and without tools. After plugging in the device, it is immediately ready to use.

Communication between MAX! components is bi-directional. This ensures that the information sent reaches the recipient.

5. Initial operation / Teach-in

After plugging in the MAX! Plug Adapter, it is immediately ready to use.

You can use the device to

• control electric radiators or
- switch on and off boilers/circulation pumps.

5.1 Electric radiator control

In connection with the MAX! Wall Thermostat, the MAX! Plug Adapter can comfortably control stationary electric radiators that are connected to a plug via the MAX! Software.

The MAX! Wall Thermostat measures the actual temperature in the room and - depending on the desired setpoint temperature - switches the MAX! Plug Adapter on and off.

The configuration of operating modes and week programmes is made via the MAX! Software.

For the initial operation of your MAX! Plug Adapter in connection with an electric radiator, please proceed as follows:

Separate room in the MAX! Software

• Plug in the MAX! Plug Adapter into a power socket.
• Plug in your electric radiator into the MAX! Plug Adapter.
• First, teach-in the MAX! Wall Thermostat to the Cube via the MAX! Software. Therefore, activate the teach-in mode of the MAX! Wall Thermostat. Press and hold down the OK button for at least 3 seconds. Click on „New device“ in the MAX! Software.
• In the software, please add a new name to the MAX! Wall Thermostat. Create a new room or add the MAX! Wall Thermostat to an existing room afterwards.
• Now teach-in the MAX! Plug Adapter to the MAX! Cube via the software. Therefore, press and hold down the teach-in button (B) for at least 3 seconds. The device LED (A) starts to flash. The teach-in time is 30 seconds.

> 3 sec.

• Click on „New device“ in the MAX! Software.
• If teach-in has been successful, the device LED (A) starts to flash for 1 sec. and the MAX! Plug Adapter will appear in the software.
• Now add a name to the MAX! Plug Adapter in the software.
• Add the MAX! Plug Adapter to the same room as the MAX! Wall Thermostat previously. The teach-in procedure has successfully been completed.

Via the MAX! Software, you can now control and regulate your electric radiator.

To be able to control your electric radiator, the MAX! Plug Adapter and the MAX! Wall Thermostat have to be allocated to the same room in the MAX! Software.

It is not possible the control conventional radiators and electric radiators in one room. If you wish to control conventional radiators via the MAX! Radiator Thermostat and electric radiators via the MAX! Plug Adapter in one system, the devices have to be allocated to separate rooms in the MAX! Software.

5.2 Boiler/circulation pump control

You can use the MAX! Plug Adapter to switch on and off electric boilers/circulation pumps that are connected to a plug. Via the MAX! Software you can set individual time programmes for switching the boiler/circulation pump on and off.

For the initial operation of your MAX! Plug Adapter in connection with an electric boiler, please proceed as follows:

Separate room in the MAX! Software

• Plug in the MAX! Plug Adapter into a power socket.
• Plug in your boiler/circulation pump into the MAX! Plug Adapter.
• Teach-in the MAX! Plug Adapter to the MAX! Cube via the software. Therefore, press and hold down the teach-in button (B) for at least 3 seconds. The device LED (A) starts to flash. The teach-in time is 30 seconds.

> 3 Sek.

• Click on „New device“ in the MAX! Software.
• If teach-in has been successful, the device LED (A) starts to flash for 1 sec. and the MAX! Plug Adapter will appear in the software.
• Now add a name to the MAX! Plug Adapter in the software.
• Add a new room only for the MAX! Plug Adapter (e.g. „Boiler“) in the software. Only add the MAX! Plug Adapter into the room and no other devices.
• The teach-in procedure has successfully been completed.

Via the MAX! Software, you can now switch the boiler/circulation pump on and off and create individual time programmes.

You can also switch the boiler/circulation pump on and off directly at the device by pressing the teach-in button (B) shortly.

6. Reset

The MAX! Plug Adapter can be reset to the initial state manually. Restoring the initial state deletes all settings and information about taught-in devices.

Before resetting the MAX! Plug Adapter, please first delete the device from the MAX! Software.

• Unplug the MAX! Plug Adapter from the socket.
• Press and hold down the teach-in button (B) and at the same time plug in the MAX! Plug Adapter to the socket again. Release the teach-in button (B), as soon as the LED changes from shining to flashing.
• The device LED flashes 3 times shortly and 1 time long.
• The initial state of the MAX! Plug Adapter has now successfully been restored.

7. LED flashing sequences

The LED's flashing sequences have different meanings:

Flashing sequence Meaning

Fast flashing Device in teach-in mode

3x short, 1x long Device is being reset

LED on during operation Relay closed

LED off during operation Relay open

8. Behavior after power restoration

Note for operation with electric boiler/circulation pump:

If the MAX! Plug Adapter is used in connection with an electric boiler/circulation pump in auto mode and the power supply is disconnected, the device will change into menu mode. You can change the mode via the MAX! Software afterwards.

9. Information about radio operation

Radio transmission is performed on a non-exclusive transmission path, which means that there is a possibility of interference occurring. Interference can also be caused by switching operations, electrical motors or defective electrical devices.

The range of transmission within buildings can differ greatly from that available in the open air. Besides the transmitting power and the reception characteristics of the receiver, environmental factors such as humidity in the vicinity have an important role to play, as do on-site structural/screening conditions.

eQ-3 Entwicklung GmbH hereby declares that this device complies with the essential requirements and other relevant regulations of Directive 1999/5/EC. You can find the full declaration of conformity at www.eQ-3.de.
