Step 1A: Getting Started

Cielo Breez Max can be mounted on a wall using the backplate or placed on a table using the table stand (both included in the box).

Before finalizing the placement, it is recommended to first power up, register, and test the device to ensure signals can easily reach the AC.

For optimal placement and control:

• Make sure Breez Max is in the line of sight of your air conditioner or heat pump.
• To avoid deviated sensor readings, do not place Breez Max where it may be exposed to excessive
  sunlight or other heat sources.

Note: It is strongly advised that whenever there is a need to use the remote control for AC/heat pump, point it towards Breez Max while performing any action. This way, your AC/heat pump and Cielo Home app will always be in sync.

Powering Up Options

Breez Max can be powered up using a 5V adapter (always use the provided power adapter and USB cable for optimal results).

Note: Please DO NOT use any other voltage level to power up Breez Max.

Step 3: Take out the wires through the hole in the middle of the backplate. Screw in the backplate using the provided pair of drywall anchors and screws.
