Notes regarding installation

݃ The standards and directives applicable in your country must be observed during planning, set-up, operation, and maintenance.

  • The device is part of the building installation. Operation of the device is only permitted at 230 V/50 Hz AC voltage. Work on the 230 V network may only be carried out by an electrician. The applicable accident prevention regulations must be observed here. To avoid an electric shock on the device, please switch off the main power. Failure to observe the installation instructions may result in fire or other hazards.
  • Mounting must be carried out following the applicable requirements. Failure to observe the requirements may result in damage to property and/or injury or even danger of death.
  • Please also note any additional information on the product.
  • A 230-volt alternating current power supply is required for this product (the device must have a phase and neutral conductor).
  • The product is only intended for fixed installation in in-wall switch boxes with a minimum depth of 35 mm and a screw distance of 60 mm (in accordance with DIN 49073-1) in indoor areas.
  • The supplied wire bridge (connection “COM” and “L” connections) may only be installed with 230 VAC consumers. Non-observance can lead to the destruction of the device, fire, or electrical accident! If necessary, remove an existing thermostat.
  • When connecting the device terminals, ensure that permitted wires and wire cross-sections are used.
  • The consumers connected to the relay outputs must have sufficient insulation.
  • Observe the technical data, in particular the maximum permissible switching power of the relay and the type of consumer to be connected, before connecting a consumer. The device should only be loaded to the specified power limit. Overloading may result in destruction of the device, fire, or an electrical accident. Among other things, reliable switching off of the connected consumer cannot be guaranteed.
  • ݃ The power circuit to which the device and the load are connected must be secured with a circuit breaker in accordance with EN 60898-1 (trigger characteristics B or C, max. 16 A rated current, min. 6 kA breaking capacity, energy limitation class 3). Installation guidelines in accordance with the applicable national standards, e.g. VDE 0100 HD384, or IEC 60364, must be observed. The circuit breaker must be easily accessible for the user and labeled as a disconnecter for the device.
  • ݃ When using the device in wet rooms such as bathrooms, a minimum distance of 60 cm from wet areas, such as a bathtub, shower, or wash basin must be maintained.

Installation and mounting

Before you start: Be sure to shut off the power circuit breaker! If necessary, remove an existing thermostat. Connect the room thermostat II 230 V according to the connection diagram that suits you.

Attach the in-wall housing to the wall box using suitable screws. Pay attention to correct orientation (Bosch writing at the top and readable). Place the control unit on the in-wall unit and press it in until it clicks into place. Now switch the power back on. As soon as the room thermostat is connected to the power supply, pairing mode starts and is active for 3 minutes. Pairing mode can be restarted at any time by pressing the system button (4). The room thermostat can also be operated independently, with no connection to the Smart Home system. The range of functions is then essentially limited to displaying and controlling the room temperature in conjunction with the connected heat generator according to the preset target temperature in the manual operating mode (without a time program). In the event that an initial start-up is required without a Smart Home system (e.g. new build), basic settings can be made on the device via an installer mode. To this end, press and hold the rotary knob (4) for at least 3 seconds until the display shows “INS”. By turning the knob (4) you can make a selection and confirm the selection by pressing it.

After connecting the room thermostat to the Bosch Smart Home system, you can also adjust all device settings in the Smart Home app. You can also use the explanatory videos and additional information on our website as an additional aid for mounting, installing, starting up, and restoring the factory settings on your Bosch Smart Home room thermostat II 230 V:

Start-up

Ensure that you have a Bosch Smart Home controller and the Bosch Smart Home app and have successfully configured both. Now start the Bosch Smart Home app and select “Add new device”. Follow the instructions in the app.

Resetting to factory settings

You can reset the device to its factory settings as follows: Remove the control unit from the in-wall housing. When reinserting it, hold the rotary knob (4) until “RES” appears on the display. Release the rotary knob and press it again. The device then restarts. Please note that it can take a few seconds until the room thermostat is ready for operation again. When resetting to factory settings, the settings and information are only lost from the device and not from the Bosch Smart Home controller. To re-configure the device, first delete it from the device management section of the Bosch Smart Home app and then add it again in the usual pairing process.

Maintenance and cleaning

The device does not require maintenance. Leave any repairs to a specialist. Clean the device with a soft, clean, dry, and lint-free cloth. When cleaning, do not use any cleaning agents containing solvents.

Environmental protection and disposal

This symbol means that this product must be disposed of separately from general household waste. As an end user, you are obligated to dispose of the product via separate waste collection, for instance by passing it to an official collection point, in line with the relevant national regulations. By collecting waste separately, you are making a valuable contribution to protecting the environment and human health. This is because, by treating old equipment properly, on one hand, the potentially negative effects associated with the presence of hazardous substances are prevented, and, on the other hand, raw materials are conserved through their recovery. Please also note that the avoidance of waste is an even more valuable contribution to environmental protection. Wherever possible, as well as finding a further use for the device yourself or having it repaired, passing the device to a second user is also an ecologically valuable alternative to disposal. It is also possible to return these to the place you bought the product from, provided the distributor offers a returns service voluntarily or is legally obligated to do so.
