Mounting instructions
- 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 on a 230 V/50 Hz AC mains. 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 mains 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.
- The product is only intended for fixed installation in in-wall switch boxes with a minimum depth of 50 mm and a screw distance of 60 mm in indoor areas.
- When connecting the device terminals, ensure that permitted wires and wire cross sections are used.
- 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, HD 384 or IEC 60364 – must be observed. The circuit breaker must be easily accessible for the user and labelled as a disconnecter for the device.
- 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. ݅ A 230 volt alternating current power supply is required for this product (there must be a phase and neutral conductor).
Installation
- Before you start: Be sure to shut off the power circuit breaker!
- The device can be used to switch lamps/lights and other electrical consumers. Connect the module in accordance with the following connection diagram:

- L External conductor
- N Neutral conductor
- S1 Button/switch
- ↑L Switching input
- ↓ Switching output
Ensure that the terminal area does not come into contact with the metal parts of the installed device. The module may only be used outdoors with suitable protective housings. If the module is connected correctly, switch the fuse back on.
Start-up/pairing
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. Once the module has been switched on via the fuse, it is in pairing mode for 3 minutes. Pairing mode can be started on an unlinked module by pressing the system button (1) again or a connected switch (S1). ݅ You can also view the explanatory videos and additional information on our website for further help with mounting, installing, starting up and restoring the factory settings on your Bosch Smart Home relay:

Environmental protection and disposal
this product must be disposed of separately from general household waste. As an end user, you are obligated to dispose of the product via separated 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.
