1. Max! Cube
1.1. Intended use
The MAX! Cube provides a user-friendly means of
configuring MAX! Components with the MAX! Software and the MAX! Portal. It can also be used to query the status of the
individual components.
As a LAN gateway, the device is thus the data interface of the system. Furthermore, it provides a storage location for all
configuration data. Radio communication between MAX! Components is bi-directional. This ensures that the information
sent reaches the recipient.
With an existing Internet connection, there are various ways of controlling the system. The MAX! Cube can be accessed
using a browser via the Internet portal, using a smartphone application and with the local software.
Configuration settings for all terminals are made via the user-friendly MAX! Software. Different settings can be made for
individual rooms. Settings (e.g. weekly profiles) are transmitted to the MAX! Radiator Thermostats in the system (so these
also function independently without the MAX! Cube).
The device may only be operated indoors and must be protected from the effects of damp and dust, as well as solar or
heat radiation. Using this device for any purpose other than that described in this operating manual does not fall within
the scope of intended use and shall invalidate any warranty or liability. This also applies to any conversion or modification
work. This device is intended for private use only.For more information about the MAX! System and the available compo-
nents, please go to www.xavax.eu/max.

1.3. Mounting
The MAX! Cube can be installed fastened to the wall or stood up on its feet.
Use the wall bracket if you wish to mount the MAX! Cube on a wall:
•
Use a pen to mark the bore hole positions (a) of the wall mount on
the wall.
• Use a drill to make the holes as
illustrated (a).
Use the screws and plugs supplied to fasten the bracket to the wall.
• Once the wall bracket is in place, the MAX! Cube can be attached
to the wall bracket from above, with the opening pointing down.
1.4. Teaching-in MAX! Components
In order to enable communication between MAX! Components,
the devices have to be taught-in to one another.
Devices are taught-in on the MAX! Cube with the user-friendly MAX! PC software.
Connect the MAX! Cube and the main adapter with
the USB cable. Use the USB port on the side of the
device (2) for this purpose.
Alternatively, power can be supplied to the MAX! Cube
via the USB port on a computer or a router. Please note
that in the case of some models, the USB voltage is no
longer available once the device has been switched off.
If the power supply to the MAX! Cube is interrupted, the
thermostats in the rooms continue to regulate the tem-
perature independently. The MAX! Cube serves solely
as the interface to the MAX! Software, to a MAX! Eco
Switch and as a central data store.
