3. Eco Switch Pushbutton
3.1. Intended use
The MAX! Eco Switch has a special job to do in the MAX! System. When you leave your house or apartment, all rooms
can be switched to manual mode and reduction temperature at the touch of a button. Similarly, when you return home, all
MAX! Components can be set to automatic operation at the touch of a button, thereby starting the separate weekly hea-
ting programs configured for each room. Communication between MAX! Components is bi-directional. This ensures that
the information sent reaches the recipient.
The MAX! Eco Switch is battery-operated. As such it is highly flexible where mounting and selecting a mounting location
are concerned. The MAX! Eco Switch is mounted and removed very easily using screws or adhesive strips. It is compa-
tible with a number of different surfaces including furniture, brick walls, tiles or glass. Holes or slits do not have to be chi-
selled out of brick walls. The frame supplied with the device can be used for wall mounting. It is also possible to integrate
the MAX! Eco Switch into existing switches, even if a flush-mounting box is not already present. (See Section 10 for more
detailed information.) 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 in-
tended use and shall invalidate any warranty or liability. This also applies to any conversion or modification work. This de-
vice is intended for private use only.

3.3. Inserting (replacing) batteries
• Once mounted, the pushbutton can easily be pulled out of the frame. To remove the pushbutton from the
frame, take hold of the sides of the pushbutton rocker and pull the pushbutton out. You do not need to re-
move the rocker or open the device.
• Turn the pushbutton over.
• After removing the old batteries , please wait approximately 60 seconds before inserting the new ones.
• Insert 2 LR03 (micro/AAA) batteries in the battery compartments (making sure that you insert them the
right way round).
• Put the pushbutton back into the frame.
3.4. Teaching-in on MAX! Components
In order to enable communication between MAX! Components, the devices have to be taught-in to one another.
• Start by switching the teach-in partner (e.g. the MAX! Cube) toteach-in mode.
• To activate teach-in mode, press and hold down one of the buttons on the MAX! Eco Switch for at
least 3 seconds. The LED flashes in teach-in mode.
• Successful teaching-in of the MAX! Eco Switch is confirmed by the LED lighting up once. If you do
not teach-in any devices, the teach-in procedure deactivates automatically after 30 s.
The MAX! Eco Switch communicates with the MAX! Components only centrally via the MAX! Cube. If this central
interface fails, MAX! Components can no longer receive commands from the MAX! Eco Switch.
