3 Description of the appliance

3.1 Construction and function
The controller is used for weather-controlled heating

control with hot water generation with additional solar
heating support and solar hot water generation.
The controller can control the following system circuits:

– two solar collector arrays or one solar collector array
and one solid fuel boiler,
– a direct heating circuit,
– a mixing circuit, e.g. for underfloor heating,
– a buffer cylinder and an indirectly-heated domestic
hot water cylinder or a solar combi cylinder,
– one circulation pump,
– one charging pump for heating a swimming pool
(swimming pool controller not integrated in the Vail-
lant system).
To expand the central heating installation, up to six

additional mixing circuit modules (accessory), each with
two mixing circuits, can be connected. That is to say, the
controller can control a maximum of 14 circuits.
To operate them more conveniently, remote control

devices can be connected for the first eight heating cir-
cuits.
Each mixing circuit can, as required, be switched

between:
– Heating circuit (radiator circuit, underfloor circuit,
etc.),
- Fixed value controlling,
- Increase in return flow,
– Hot water circuit (in addition to integrated hot water
circuit).
With the aid of modulating bus couplers (accessory), up

to 8 Vaillant modulating heaters can be connected.
With the aid of a switching bus coupler, a 1 or 2 stage
heater can be connected. The eBus system can be used
to combine up to six heaters to form a cascade. One bus
coupler is required for each heating appliance.
With the remote telephone contact connection (floating
contact input), the operating mode of the controller can
be changed from any location by telephone via the tele-
SWITCH telephone remote control switch.

The controller can also be integrated in existing systems ture by means of a heating curve
as a solar differential temperature controller. In such a
case, the controller functions only as the control system
for the solar system. The heating installation is control-
led by the existing heating controller.
3.3 Overview of functions
The controller provides the following options for con-

trolling your heating installation and hot water genera-
tion:
Energy saving function

Allows the target room temperature to be reduced for a
set period
Frost protection function

Protection from frost damage in the Off and Eco modes
(outside the time windows);
The boiler must remain switched on
Heating curve
The basis of weather compensation; improves the mat-
ching of the heating output to the outside temperatures
Holiday programme
Individual control of the room temperature during your
absence;

tion with active frost protection
One-time Cylinder Charging

Charges the domestic hot water cylinder independently
of the current timer program on one occasion until the
set target temperature is reached.
Override

beyond the next switch-off time up to the next heating
start.
Setting the solar gain to zero

Allows you to set the value of the cylinder gain to zero
Time window
Individually settable time settings for the heating instal-
lation, the hot water generation and the operation of a

mode
Auto The operation of the heating circuits alternates
between the Heating and Energy saving modes in
accordance with a predetermined timer pro-
gramme.
Eco The operation of the heating circuit alternates
between the "Heating" and "Off" modes in
accordance with a preset timer programme.
The heating circuit is switched off during the set-
back period if the frost protection function
(depending on the outside temperature) is not
activated.
The frost protection is effective outside the set
time window (¬ Chap. 5.3).
Heating The heating is regulated at the daytime set room
temperature.
Energy The heating circuit is regulated at the nighttime
saving set room temperature.
Off The heating circuit is off if the frost protection
function (depending on the external temperature)
is not activated.
Symbol Meaning
If the symbol is displayed after the Eco or Auto
mode, a time window is active. The heating instal-
lation is producing heat.
If the symbol is displayed after the
mode, no time window is active.
The heating installation is in set-back mode.

On The charging of the DHW cylinder is constantly
enabled. When required, the cylinder is recharged
immediately. The circulation pump is constantly in
operation.
Off No charging of the DHW cylinder takes place. The
circulation pump is not operating.
Exception: If the temperature in the DHW cylin-
der falls below 12 °C, the cylinder is reheated to
17 °C (frost protection).

for the room temperatures for different times of the
day
In Fig. 3.2 you can see a section from a timer

programme. The time of day is given on the horizontal
axis and the target room temperature is on the vertical
axis. The diagram describes the following programme
progression:
1 Until 06.00 hrs. a room temperature of 15 °C

(night set back temperature) is in effect.
2 The first time window starts at 06.00 hrs.:
From this point onwards a target room tempera-
ture of 21 °C is effective.
3 The first time window ends at 09.00 hrs.:
4 A further two time windows of 21 °C follow.
The way in which the time windows influence the

heating control can be simply explained as follows:
When you operate your heating installation in the Auto
mode, the controller activates the preset time windows
in which your installation heats the connected rooms to
a defined temperature (¬ Target room temperature).
Outside these time windows, the heating installation is
controlled so that the connected rooms cool down to a
defined temperature (¬ Night set back temp). When
the night set back temperature is reached, the control-
ler ensures that the heating installation maintains this
temperature until the start of the next time window.
Thus any further cooling of the apartment is prevented.

to match the control system optimally to your apart-
i
ment and to the heating installation. Your expert technician will have made the
required basic setting of the heating curve
while installing the heating system.


The controller is equipped with a frost protection
function (depends on the outside temperature). The
frost protection function ensures that the heating
installation is protected from frost in the Off and Eco
(outside the time windows) modes.
If the Eco mode is set and the frost protection function
(dependent on the outside temperature) is not activa-
ted, then the heating circuit will be switched off during
the set-back period.
The preset (night) set back temperature is applied auto-
matically for each heating circuit if the outside tempera-
ture falls below +3 °C.

Packaging
Leave the disposal of the transport packaging to the Operating the heating system in set-back mode
qualified technician company which installed the unit. Reduce the room temperature at night and in your
absence. The simplest and most reliable way is to
reduce the room temperature by means of the control-
ler with individually selectable timer programmes.
At such times, set the room temperature approx. 5 °C
lower than during full heating times. Reduction of more
than 5 °C brings no additional energy saving, because
then increased heating capacities would be needed for
the next full heating period. Only for longer absences, e.
g. holidays, is it worthwhile to further lower the tempe-
ratures.

Set the target room temperature only as high as would
be necessary for your comfort level. An extra degree
would mean increased energy consumption of about
6%. Adjust the room temperature according to the pur-
pose of use of the room. For example, normally,
bedrooms or seldom used rooms are heated to 20 °C.
Uniform heating
Often, in an apartment with central heating, only one
room is heated. Adjacent rooms are also heated without
regulation by the enclosing surfaces of the room, i.e.
walls, doors, windows, roofs and floors, which means
that an unwanted loss of thermal energy occurs. The
capacity of the heating element of this one heated room
is obviously not enough for such an operating mode.
Consequently, the room can not be heated satisfactorily
and an uncomfortable feeling of coolness prevails (the
same effect is produced when doors between heated or
unheated or slightly
heated rooms remain open).
This is incorrect saving: The heating is in operation and
still the room temperature is not comfortably warm.
Greater heating comfort and a more practical operating
mode is achieved when all rooms in an apartment are
heated uniformly and in accordance with their usage.

If the solar radiation is too low, the solar hot water sto-
rage tank is post-heated by the boiler. The post-heating
is enabled according to the specification for the hot
water target value and the time window for hot water.
When the temperature in the upper zone of the solar
hot water storage tank is less than the hot water target
value by 5°C, the boiler is switched on in order to heat
up the drinking water in the cylinder to the desired hot
water target value. When the hot water target value is
attained, the post-heating boiler is switched off. Post-
heating by the boiler only takes place during the pro-
grammed time window for hot water. The solar gain can
be optimised in the operator level by means of the
options described in the following.

Timer programme is the generic term for heating pro-

gramme.
Time window
Three time windows per day can be programmed for the
heating, the hot water generation and the
circulation pump.
Example:
Time window 1: Mon 09:00 – 12:00
Time window 2: Mon 15:00 – 18:30
In the heating, each time window is allocated a target
value, which the heating system maintains during this
time.
For hot water generation, the target hot water tempera-
ture prevails for all time windows.
In the case of the circulation pump the time windows
determine the operating times.

Equipment and functional description 3
3 Equipment and functional

description
3.1 Construction and function
The controller is used for weather-controlled heating

control with hot water generation with additional solar
heating support and solar hot water generation.
The controller can control the following system circuits:

– two solar collector arrays or one solar collector array
and one solid fuel boiler,
– a direct heating circuit,
– a mixing circuit, e.g. for underfloor heating,
– a buffer cylinder and an indirectly-heated domestic
hot water cylinder or a solar combi cylinder,
– one circulation pump,
– one charging pump for heating a swimming pool
(swimming pool controller not integrated in the Vail-
lant system).
To expand the central heating installation, up to six

additional mixing circuit modules (accessory), each with
two mixing circuits, can be connected. That is to say, the
controller can control a maximum of 14 circuits.
To operate them more conveniently, remote control

devices can be connected for the first eight heating cir-
cuits.
Each mixing circuit can, as required, be switched

between:
– Heating circuit (radiator circuit, underfloor circuit,
etc.),
- Fixed value controlling,
- Increase in return flow,
– Hot water circuit (in addition to integrated hot water
circuit).
With the aid of modulating bus couplers (accessory), up

to 8 Vaillant modulating heaters can be connected.
With the aid of a switching bus coupler, a 1 or 2 stage
heater can be connected.The eBus system can be used
to combine up to six heaters to form a cascade. One bus
coupler is required for each heating appliance.
With the remote telephone contact connection (floating
contact input), the operating mode of the controller can
be changed from any location by telephone via the tele-
SWITCH telephone remote control switch.

In Fig. 3.2 you can see a section from a timer

programme. The time of day is given on the horizontal
axis and the target room temperature is on the vertical
axis. The diagram describes the following programme
progression:
1 Until 06.00 hrs. a room temperature of 15 °C

(night set back temperature) is in effect.
2 The first time window starts at 06.00 hrs.:
3 The first time window ends at 08.00 hrs.:
4 This is followed by two additional time windows.
The way in which the time windows influence the

heating control can be simply explained as follows:
When you operate the heating installation in the Auto
mode, the controller activates the preset time windows
in which your installation heats the connected rooms to
a defined temperature (¬ Target room temperature).
Outside these time windows, the heating installation is
controlled so that the connected rooms cool down to a
defined temperature (¬ Night set back temp). When
the night set back temperature is reached, the control-
ler ensures that the heating installation maintains this
temperature until the start of the next time window.
Thus any further cooling of the apartment is prevented.

Caution!
Material damage caused by high tempera-
tures!
High temperatures can arise in solar systems;
the components used can be damaged.
> Take care that all components in the solar
circuit and all components that draw heat
from a solar charged cylinder are designed
for the high temperatures that occur there.
> Set the maximum cylinder temperature to
the maximum permitted temperature of
the cylinder (in Menu C5).

5.5.4 Connecting further mixing circuits If a cascade (at least two boilers) is to be installed, you
will require one VR 30/2 modulating bus coupler or one
VR 31 switching bus coupler (accessory) for each boiler.
The bus coupler is installed directly in the heater as
illustrated in Fig. 5.46, in accordance with the manual
supplied with the bus coupler.

buffer cylinder. Select hydraulic plan 5 to 9, as
appropriate.

The controller permits cascading of up to eight boilers
with eBUS interfaces within a system.

Fig. 5.48 Arrangement of sensors SP1, TD2 and SP2 in the

buffer cylinder
By the arrangement of the three sensors SP1, TD2 and

SP2 in the buffer cylinder, the volume of the buffer
cylinder is divided into three sections A, B and C.
Volume A is maintained at the temperature requested
by the VPM W fresh water unit. If the temperature at
SP1 falls 8 K below the target value, then the volumes A
and B will be charged up to the target value.
Volume B is likewise maintained at the level for the
fresh water unit. In contrast to volume A, however, this
zone will be charged preferentially by solar energy. If
the temperature at TD2 falls 8 K below the feed target
value of the fresh water station and the solar pump unit
sends a message via the eBUS to the effect that the
temperature can reach the required flow temperature,
then the volume is first charged by the solar pump unit .
As soon as the solar pump unit can no longer deliver the
required level, or after 4 hours at the latest, the volume
will be charged via the boilers.
Volume C is maintained at the temperature required for
the heating circuits. If the temperature at the sensor
SP2 falls 8 K below the maximum flow target value
required by the boilers, then the volume is charged via
the boilers. The solar pump unit supports the charging if
possible in parallel with the boilers.
The charging of volumes A and B has priority.

6.5 Optimising solar gain draw-off point, depending on the length of
the pipe from the tank.
When the temperature in the solar collector is higher
than that in the lower zone of the solar hot water sto-
rage tank by a defined amount, the solar pump switches
on and the thermal energy is transferred to the water in
the cylinder. The solar gain is limited by the maximum
cylinder temperature and the solar protection function.
This limitation prevents overheating the solar cylinder
or the solar circuit.
If the solar radiation is too low, the solar hot water sto-
rage tank is post-heated by the boiler. The post-heating
is enabled according to the specification for the hot
water target value and the time window for hot water.
When the temperature in the upper zone of the solar
hot water storage tank is less than the hot water target
value by 5°C, the boiler is switched on in order to heat
up the drinking water in the cylinder to the desired hot
water target value. When the hot water target value is
attained, the post-heating boiler is switched off. Post-
heating by the boiler only takes place during the pro-
grammed time window for hot water. The solar gain can
be optimised in the operator level by means of the
options described in the following.
Executing heating circuits as mixing circuits

In systems with solar-assisted heating, it is advanta-
geous to implement all heating circuits as mixing cir-
cuits. If the solar cylinder was charged at a high tempe-
rature during the day, this would be passed directly to
unmixed heating circuits. The unmixed heating circuits
would be heated to an unnecessarily high temperature
during the set-back phases.
When using a circulation pump, hot water is sent from

the cylinder to the individual draw-off points during the
preset timer programme. This ensures that hot water is
available as quickly as possible when it is drawn. The
water cools down, even with a well insulated secondary
return. Therefore the drinking water cylinder also cools
down. To prevent this, the time windows should be set
as short as possible.

Recharging delay – With the controller, the cylinder charging circuit is used 0 - 120 min 0 min
for the timed enabling of the reheating function. The
reheating takes place within the programmed timer pro-
gramme, provided the target cylinder temperature has
not been reached yet. The cylinder recharging is activa-
ted when the target cylinder temperature is exceeded
by more than 5 K.
– The "Recharging delay" function serves to prevent
unnecessary reheating. If the solar pump is running, the
actual required reheating is delayed by the preset
value. If the solar pump switches off during the delay
period, reheating takes place immediately.
– Is not settable for all hydraulic plans.

(hot water temperature reached). The cylinder
charging pump overrun begins and switches off again
automatically after the set time.

Parallel charging – Parallel charging is applicable to all connected mixing OFF/ON Off
circuits.
– When parallel charging is enabled, the mixing circuit
continues to be supplied while the cylinder is being
heated. This means: As long as there is still a heat
demand in the particular heating circuits, the pumps in
the mixing circuits will not be switched off.
– HK1 is always switched off during cylinder charging.
– The target flow temperature of the system cor-
responds to the highest target flow temperature of all
the circuits.
If, for example, a fixed-value circuit at 90 °C is active
during cylinder charging, the target flow temperature
is 90 °C.

switched on.
– The function is terminated automatically when the
cylinder sensor measures a temperature ≥ 60 °C for
longer than 60 mins, or after a period of 90 mins has
elapsed (to avoid getting “stuck“ in this function if
water is drawn simultaneously).

ensuring that limescale protection is active, you can set
a maximum value for the solar temperature cylinder. If
the set maximum temperature is exceeded, the solar

flow rate – The correct setting of the flow rate is required 0 - 165 0
so that the solar gain can be determined cor-

Solar pump kick – Depending on the design, there is a time delay in OFF, ON On
measuring the temperature of some collectors,
which can be shortened with the solar pump kick
function.
– Measured value of collector temperature with
active solar pump kick function:
The solar pump is switched on for 15s (solar
pump kick) if the temperature at the collector
sensor >25 °C and has risen by 2 K/hour.
This transports the heated solar fluid to the
point of measurement more quickly.
– If the temperature difference between the coll-
ector and the cylinder exceeds the preset
switch-on difference, the solar pump runs for an
appropriate length of time to heat up the cylin-
der (differential control).
– If two solar circuits are connected, the solar
pump kick function is activated for both solar
circuits.
– The function is performed separately for each
collector array.
Solar circ. protect. – If the solar heat exceeds the current heat OFF, 110 - 150 °C 130 °C
requirement (e.g. all cylinders fully charged), the
temperature in the collector array can rise

– When the temperature at the collector sensor
exceeds the safe temperature the solar pump is
switched off before overheating to protect the
solar circuit (pump, valves, etc.).
– The pump is switched on again after cooling.
This function is performed independently for
each collector array. When used with the VPM S

Preference Preference works like an isolating circuit for an individual boiler. Yes/No No
The cylinder is directly connected hydraulically to the boiler.
In the case of an individual boiler, the cylinder can also be directly
connected hydraulically to the boiler. Cylinder charging has priority
over heating; the requirements of the heating circuits cannot be
covered at this time. During cylinder charging, the internal 3-way
valve or the charging pump in the boiler is activated. This parameter
only appears if a cascade has not been detected and the selected
hydraulic plan allows priority switching.
Stop valve A low-loss header is not needed for boilers with a large water capa- Yes/No No
city. In cascades, the boilers that are not active are isolated from
the active boilers by means of a stop valve. The valve is connected
to the boiler pump in the boiler electronics. The valve in the lead
boiler will always be activated in this case, as otherwise the heat
consumer pumps will be working against the pumps.
Rev. Seq control Is set to YES if in a cascade the cylinder is directly connected Yes/No No
hydraulically to the last boiler in the cascade and not to the collec-
tor downstream of the low-loss header. The unit is then "isolated"
from the cascade during cylinder charging and charges the cylinder,
while the remaining units in the cascade can continue to service the
heating circuits. During cylinder charging, the internal 3-way valve
or the charging pump in the boiler is activated. This parameter only
appears if a cascade has been detected and the selected hydraulic
plan allows separation switching.
Reversal boiler When several boilers of the same type are cascaded, the operating ON/OFF Off
sequence times of the units should be evenly distributed by means of this
function. The controller sums the time for which it has activated
each boiler (the activation hours). Daily at midnight the controller
checks whether the difference in activation hours > 100 and re-sorts
the boilers if this is the case.

Glossary

The usage of the room sensor in the remote control
devices (RCD) or operating unit (in this case the opera-
ting unit should be inserted in the VR 55 mounting box
(accessory)) can be parameterised for each heating cir-
cuit. Factory (setting)
The switch-on room temperature is used to include the
current room temperature in a reference room in the
calculation of the flow temperature. The room tempera-
ture sensor of the assigned RCD is used if the function
is active. The value of the operating unit is used if no
RCD is available. (As a result it is possible to use the
operating unit also in a reference room for this function
by means of a wall mount.)
Target flow temperature

Represents the inlet temperature in a heating circuit
calculated by the controller on the basis of the pre-set
parameters.
Temperature correction for actual room temperature

You can shift the displayed value for the room tempera-
ture up or down within a range of +/–3 °C as required.
Temperature fault detection

With this function it is possible to detect faults regar-
ding the setting or layout in a heating circuit. If the sti-
pulated target temperature is still not reached after a
longer time period (parameterisation: OFF, between 1
and 12 hours), an error message appears for the circuit
in question.
Default setting: Off
Test mode
In test mode you can test and actuate every single sen-
sor, each pump and each mixer per heating circuit sepa-
rately.
3. Difference Control
Operation:
– if TD2 > TD1 + switch-on difference (Menu C5), then
output MA is activated
– if TD2 < TD1 + switch-on difference (Menu C5), then
output MA is switched off again
In the hydraulic plans 1-4, the 3rd differential control
serves as heating support.
In all other plans the 3rd differential control is not
available.
