2 Product information

This product provides communication between a boiler without an EMS function (Energy Management System) and:

• a thermostat with an EMS interface,

- a function module

This product converts the following protocols to EMS and viceversa:

• iRT (Intelligent Room Thermostat) for UBA version 3.7,
• OpenTherm®, version 4.0,
• zero volt on-off switching contact.

→ www.bosch-easycontrol.com/checktool.

Functional capability can be lost, if protocols are converted.

This product may also be used:

• to increase the electrical output of an EMS/iRT bus.

4 A s s e m b l y

The minimum requirements for installation of this product are:

• 2-wire cable for connection with the boiler, which is suitable for the use of the EasyControl adaptor.
  ▶ Before installation, check that the combination of the thermostat, the EasyControl adaptor and the boiler is possible.
  ▶ Ensure that the cable length between the EasyControl adaptor and the boiler is max. 3 metres, since long data cables can cause faults.
  ▶ Open the EasyControl adaptor casing ( fig. 3).
  ▶ Mark the drill holes using the centre distance between the elongated holes.
  ▶ Install the product using the provided screws and rawl plugs.
  ▶ Tighten the screws finger-tight.

5 Electrical connection

See the installation instructions for the boiler for more information on connecting the thermostat.

Thermostat and boiler connection

The "thermostat" and "boiler" cable clamps are not polarity sensitive.

▶ Remove the boiler plug from the socket.
▶ Disconnect the thermostat.
▶ Cut the 2-wire cable between the boiler and the thermostat.
- Connect the part of the 2-wire cable that connects to the boiler to the "boiler" cable clamps.
- Connect the part of the 2-wire cable that connects to the thermostat to the "thermostat" cable clamps.

Bus connection

The EMS-bus is connected in the following way ( fig. 4):

[1] base plate
[2] thermostat or EMS module(s)
[3] EasyControl adaptor
[4] boiler
[5] boiler 2-wire cable
[6] power adaptor
[7] thermostat 2-wire cable

Zero volt contact

An on-off switching unit can be connected through the zero volt contact ( fig. 5):

[1] normally open connection (NO)
[2] normally closed connection (NC)
[3] common (COM)
The default connection is COM-NO. Following a heat demand, the NO contact closes.
▶ Close the EasyControl adaptor casing ( fig. 6).
▶ Connect the power adaptor to the EasyControl adaptor.

6 Commissioning

▶ Position the thermostat.
▶ Insert the power adaptor into a socket.
▶ Insert the boiler plug into a socket.
▶ Turn on the boiler.

The EasyControl adaptor will start initialising ( fig. 7). The steps in table 1 are run through automatically.
