The “thermio™ eco ECOsave” multi-tariff timer switches the connected loads on or off in defined steps;
the smallest possible switching time is 15 minutes. This makes it possible to individually adjust heating
periods to times with lower cost electricity tariffs, for example; the standard local electricity tariffs are
set by default. The BOOST rotary switch and button can be used to switch on the device for a defined
period, independently of the set switching program. Four BOOST periods can be set: 15 min, 30 min,
60 min or 120 min.
Elements Function
LED display for low-cost elec-
tricity tariff
Indicates whether the connected load is supplied with low-cost
electricity.
On/off switch Activates/deactivates the settings (times for low-cost electricity
tariff, BOOST period):
ON – settings are active.
OFF – settings are deactivated, timer remains on.
BOOST rotary switch and button Short-term activation of the connected load.

NOTICE!
Damage to the timer due to incorrect installation position!
If an unsuitable installation position is selected, the timer may be damaged.
− Only use the timer in dry rooms and do not install close to devices with
inductive discharge (motors, transformers etc.).
Residual risks
The device is state-of-the art and designed in accordance with current safety requirements. However,
residual risks remain that require caution when using the device. The residual risks, and the conduct
and measures they require, are listed in the following.
WARNING!
Danger to life due to electric shock!
Improper assembly and installation of the device may result in life-threat-
ening electrical voltages.
− Have assembly and connection performed by a qualified electrician only.
10

WARNING!
Danger due to insufficient wire cross-section!
If wires with an insufficiently large cross-section are used, short circuits or
fires may occur.
− Only use terminals with a cross-section between 1.5 mm² and 4 mm²
for flexible wires.
Personnel requirements
Qualified electrician
Professional training, knowledge and experience, and knowledge of the relevant standards and regula-
tions allows the qualified electrician to perform work on electrical systems and to identify, and avoid,
potential dangers of their own accord.
A qualified electrician is specifically trained for the work environment in which they work, and are
familiar with the relevant standards and regulations.
User
The user is the person who uses and operates the device in compliance with proper use, without any
prior knowledge.

Installation
Electric connection and installation
The device can be mounted on the wall or in a flush-mounted socket.
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 installation types. Where
there are difference, 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.
12

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
• Phillips screwdriver
Prerequisite:
• The terminals for the flexible wires have a cross-section between 1.5 mm² and 4 mm².

8 Fastening screws and hole pattern
1. Undo the safety screw (Fig. 2/5) on the housing base using a flat-head screwdriver.
2. Remove the housing base.
Preparation for on-wall mounting
3. Mark the hole pattern for the housing base (Fig. 2/8) onto the wall.
4. Drill holes at the points you marked.
5. Insert suitable wall-plugs for the screws into the holes.

8. On-wall connection wires (Fig. 5): Break out the necessary defined breaking point (Fig. 2/3) and
thread through the connection wires.
9. On-wall connection wires: Break out the strain relief clamps (Fig. 2/2).
The strain relief clamps (Fig. 2/2) have to be broken out for on-wall
mounting, otherwise the device does not fit smoothly against the wall.
10. On-wall connection wires: Fasten the connection wires with the broken out strain relief clamps to
the screw plug for the strain relief clamps (Fig. 2/6).

Installation
11. Fasten the housing base to the wall-plugs with the screws or into the flush-mounted socket.
Connecting
12. Strip insulation from the connection wires.
• Stripping length: 8 mm
13. Insert the earth connection wire into the earth contact (Fig. 2/4).
To ensure wiring is correct, consult the operating manual for the heating
system in use.
