Procedure for Programming The Wireless Remote TSTAT2

The Bosch Wireless Remote Control (TSTAT2) is used to remotely control the temperature of the Bosch Therm tankless water heater. The TSTAT2 does NOT have the ability to remotely reset the Bosch Therm hot water heater. Below is a more in depth procedure for installing the remote control.

The Bosch Wireless Remote Control (TSTAT2) is designed to work with the following Bosch Therm Tankless Water Heaters: C 1210 ESC, C 1210 ES, C 920 ESC, C 920 ES, C 1050 ES, C 800 ES, Integra 500, C 950 ES, 940ES, 940ESO, 715 ES, Evolution 500 and 830ES as well as the Bosch AquaStar 2700ES and 2400ES heaters.

TSTAT2 Remote Control Installation:

On the "heater" control panel, press and hold Program key while
pressing the ON/OFF button to ON.  Release program key when LCD
displays “188”.  LCD shows “P2”. If not, repeat previous step.

1. Press the + button on the heater to select "P3".  Press and hold Program 
key again for 1 sec.  LCD shows one number and one rotating digit. If not, 
repeat previous step.

The number represents the remote control which is to be registered, the
first remote control will be registered with number “0”, the second with
number “1” and so on.  The rotating digit shows that the electronics is 
expecting a registration and waiting for response from wireless remote.  
If the LCD fails to show a number and rotating digit after repeated attempts, 
double check the wire connections made in section 5.1.

2.  Hold wireless remote control in front of the control panel on the heater and
simultaneously press remote control buttons until the temperature indication 
is shown on the remote control LCD.

3.   Press ON / OFF button on the front of the heater to OFF position and then
back ON.

4.  Press buttons + or - on the remote to reach desired temperature.

New remote control is programmed.

To program a 2nd or 3rd remote to the same heater, follow the steps above and 
then after the remote is programmed you will be able to use the first or 2nd or 
3rd remote to raise or lower the temperature on the heater.  Please remember
the remotes cannot be used to reset the heater if an error code should appear.

Bosch Aquastar 250SX/250SXO Water Valve with Engine

The Bosch Aquastar model 250SX/250SXO water valve with engine part number 8708505018 (old part number 8708505016) is the replacement watervalve for all Bosch Aquastar model 250SX/250SXO tankless water heaters.

This is also the replacement water valve for the Bosch Aquastar 2400E tankless water heater.

Bosch AquaStar 2400E / 2400EO / 250SX / 250SXO Heat Exchanger

The Bosch AquaStar 2400E / 2400EO / 250SX / 250SXO Heat Exchanger Part 8705406285 is the replacement heat exchanger for all Bosch AquaStar 2400E, 2400EO, 250SX and 250SXO tankless water heaters.

This part is also the replacement Heat Exchanger for the Bosch ProTankless 635ES and 635ESO tankless water heaters.

Bosch Wireless Remote Control TSTAT2

The Bosch Wireless Remote Control TSTAT2 for the Bosch AquaStar 2700ES / 2400ES / 2400E / 2400EO / 250SX / 250SXO allows you to program your Bosch tankless gas water heater to a comfortable and safe temperature from around your home from a distance of up to 98 ft.

The TSTAT2 remote is particularly useful if you own a jacuzzi or hot tub that requires a hotter water temperature than you normally desire for regular shower use.

Please note that the electrical control of the Bosch AquaStar 2700ES / 2400ES / 2400E / 2400EO / 250SX / 250SXO must be removed and opened in order to install the wireless receiver circuit board to enable the use of the TSTAT2 Wireless Remote Control.

The Newer Bosch models, 2700ES and Bosch 2400ES tankless water heaters have been redesigned to make the installation of the wireless receiver circuit board much easier. The circuit board is basically a plug and play unit.

The TSTAT2 controls the temperature of your water heater and does not have a reset button.   If the heater has an error then a code will be on the display of the heater and the user has to go to the heater to reset it from there and should document the error and then see if it returns after resetting.

The TSTAT2 Wireless Remote Control for Bosch 2700ES / 2400ES /2400E / 2400EO / 250SX / 250SXO features the following:

• LCD displays temperature, error codes and functions
• Temperature measured in °C or °F
• Low battery level indicator
• 98 feet user range
• Alkaline AA LR6 2x1.5V battery power 915 MHz
• Security lock function
• IP X6 Protection
• Priority function - temperature cannot be modified by other user interface when water is running

Don't forget to periodically change the two AA batteries in your Bosch wireless TSTAT2 thermostat as they will certainly corrode over time. The batteries in TSTAT2 thermostats that are kept in bathrooms will corrode faster than in other less humid environments, such as kitchens. Your batteries should be checked yearly for any signs of corrosion and replaced every five years in any case.

AQ3ES Vent Kit Versus AQ3 Vent Kit

The AQ3ES Vent Kit is the current horizontal vent kit sold by Bosch for the Bosch AquaStar 2700ES and Bosch AquaStar 2400ES Tankless Water Heaters. This horizontal vent kit is required for all 2700ES and 2400ES installations that will be vented out the side wall.

The AQ3ES Vent Kit has all of the parts required by the 2700ES and 2400ES warranty for a safe and complete installation assuming that you are mounting your tankless water heater on the same side wall that you are venting out of.

The AQ3ES Vent Kit has a total of 40" of straight vent pipe -- 36" of straight vent pipe are required for installations in freezing areas. If you use less than 36" of straight vent pipe in freezing areas and your heat exchanger freezes and bursts it will not be covered under the Bosch warranty!

Please note that for the intake air on the Bosch 2700ES and Bosch 2400ES heaters you must use 3" rigid vent pipe, such as PVC.

In contrast, the AQ3 Vent Kit was designed for the older Bosch 250SX and Bosch 2400E tankless water heater models. Bosch did NOT require a rigid vent pipe for the intake air on these older models. So, the AQ3 Vent Kit comes with a 10' length of 3" flexible aluminum hose for the intake air. (This flex hose CANNOT be used on the newer Bosch 2700ES/2400ES models.)

Both vent kits come with a 3" x 90 degree elbow, a wall thimble, an exhaust termination box with a bird screen and an intake termination box with a bird screen.

GlobalTowne.com carries both the current AQ3ES Vent Kit and the legacy AQ3 Vent Kit in stock.
