4 f
unction
The MAX! Radiator Thermostat basic is responsible for reg-
ulating the radiators within the MAX! system. During venti-
lation, the MAX! Radiator Thermostat automatically reduces
the temperature in a room in order to save on energy costs.
Communication between the MAX! components is bidirec-
tional. This ensures that the information sent reaches the
recipient. The configuration of the MAX! Radiator Ther-
mostat depends on the system variant used. You will find
further information in the detailed operating manual of
the MAX! Radiator Thermostat as well as in the MAX! sys-
tem overview, available for download via the MAX! Portal.

nSerting replacing BatterieS
In the initial state, the batteries are already inserted.
Simply remove the insulation strip.
To replace the batteries, please proceed as follows:
• Press the battery compartment cover on both sides with
your fingers and remove the cover by pushing it downwards.
• Insert 2 new LR6/mignon/AA (1.5 V) 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. „6.2 Installation on the
radiator"). The radiator thermostat starts an adapting run
afterwards (see sec. „6.3 Adaption run").
A battery symbol ( ) on the display indicates that
the batteries need to be replaced. After removing the
empty batteries, wait approx. 1 minute before insert-
ing the new ones.
The service life of new alkaline batteries is approxi-
mately two years.
Operation with rechargeable batteries is not possi-
ble.
Never recharge standard batteries. Do not throw the
batteries into a fire. Do not expose batteries to ex-
cessive heat. Do not short-circuit batteries. Doing so
will present a risk of explosion.
Used batteries should not be disposed of with
regular domestic waste! Instead, take them to
your local battery disposal point.
6.2 i
nStallation 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-
turers such as Heimeier, MNG, Junkers, Landis+Gyr (Du-
odyr), Honeywell-Braukmann, Oventrop, Schlösser, Comap,
Valf Sanayii, Mertik Maxitrol, Watts, Wingenroth (Wiroflex),
R.B.M, Tiemme, Jaga, Siemens or Idmar.
By means of the adapter in the delivery, the device can also
be installed on radiator valves of type Danfoss RA.
6.2.1 Removing the old dial
Rotate the thermostat dial to the maximum value (1) (an-
ti-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 ther-
mostat dial:
• 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 di-
rection (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).
In case of visible damage of the existing radiator,
valve or heating pipes, please consult a specialist.
6.2.2 Danfoss RA adapter
The provided adapter is required for installation on Dan-
foss RA valves.
The Danfoss valve bodies have elongated notches (G) 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 in-
side the adapter (H) are lined up with the notches (G)
on the valve.
The RA adapter has been manufactured with pre-tension
in order to provide a better seat. Use a screwdriver during
installation if necessary, and bend it open slightly in the
vicinity of the screw. Ensure that the adapter is properly
clipped on. After clipping onto the valve body, please attach
the adapter using the provided screw and nut.

6.2.3 Support ring
The valves from different manufacturers may have toler-
ance fluctuations that make the radiator thermostat more
loosely seated on the valve. In this case, the provided sup-
port ring (I) should be placed into the flange before mount-
ing the radiator thermostat.

6.3 a
daption run
Once the batteries have been inserted, the motor reserves.
Meanwhile, "InS" and the activity symbol (
As soon as "InS" is displayed without the activity symbol
( ), the radiator thermostat can be mounted. This is fol-
lowed by an adapting run ("AdA") to adapt the thermostat
to the valve.
• Attach the radiator thermostat to the valve (see sec.
„6.2 Installation on the radiator").
• Tighten the union nut.
• Press the control wheel shortly when "InS" is displayed.
Now the radiator thermostat performs an adapting run. "AdA"
and the activity symbol ( ) are displayed; during this time,
operation is not possible. If the adapter run has been initi-
ated prior to mounting or if an error message (F1, F2, F3) is
displayed, press the control wheel; the motor reverses to
the "InS" position.
Teach-in mode can be activated even whilst "InS" is
still displayed.
If the MAX! Radiator Thermostat has not been taught-
in to a MAX! Cube or Wall Thermostat+, the device
automatically switches to manual operation (Manu).

nformation aBout radio operation
Radio transmission is performed on a non-exclusive trans-
mission path, which means that there is a possibility of in-
terference occurring. Interference can also be caused by
switching operations, electrical motors or defective elec-
trical devices.
The range of transmission within buildings can differ
greatly from that available in the open air. Besides
the transmitting power and the reception character-
istics 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 AG 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.
