functIon
The MAX! Wall Thermostat+ is responsible for regulating
the room temperature within the MAX! system. With the
MAX! Wall Thermostat+up to 8 MAX! Radiator Thermo-
stats can be comfortably regulated in a room.
The MAX! Wall Thermostat+has an internal sensor that

or "S" are displayed, the batteries of a taught-in
Radiator Thermostat (V) or Window Sensor (S)
have to be replaced.
Never recharge standard batteries. Do not throw
the batteries into a fire. Do not expose batteries
to excessive heat. Do not short-circuit batteries.
Doing so will present a risk of explosion.
Used batteries should not be disposed of with

mounting
You can either use screws or adhesive strips to mount
the MAX! Wall Thermostat+to a wall in the frame sup-
plied or integrate it into an existing switch (see sec. „8
Mounting in existing switches“ on page 15).
Adhesive strip mounting:
• Choose a site for installation. The surface on which
you are mounting the push button must be clean, dry
and greaseless.
• For mounting of the assembled MAX! Wall Thermo-
stat+, attach the adhesive strips to the back side of the
mounting plate (A). You should be able to read the let-
ters on the back side (according to figure).

13
Mounting
<PA66>
• Remove the protective film from the adhesive strips.
• Press the assembled MAX! Wall Thermostat+with the
back side to the wall in the position where it should
subsequently be attached.
Screw mounting:
• Choose a site for installation.
Make sure that no electricity or similar lines run
in the wall at this location.
• Position the mounting plate on the desired site on the
wall. Make sure that the arrow on the mounting plate
is pointing upwards.
• Use a pen to mark the positions of 2 bore holes(1) (di-
agonally opposite) in the mounting plate on the wall.
The bore holes (2) can be used for installation with a
flush-mounting box.

taught-in to the MAX! Cube, all data such as date,
time or week program are transmitted to it via ra-
dio connection.
If you want to add a MAX! Cube to your system sub-
sequently, a factory reset must be performed for
all devices (incl. MAX! Wall Thermostat+) prior to
teaching-in to a MAX! Cube. All settings including
your weekly profiles are deleted in this process.
