The following symbols may appear:
Observing other applicable documents
Document handover
Pass these instructions and all other applicable documents and, if necessary, any required tools to the system operator.
Availability of documents
The system operator is responsible for storing the documents so that they are available when required.
These instructions apply for the following only:
Article number
This manual is intended for persons with the following qualifications.
Authorised competent person
The installation, assembly and removal, start-up, maintenance, repair and decommissioning of Vaillant products and accessories must only be carried out by authorised competent persons.
Note Each competent person is qualified for specific activities on the basis of their training. They must only work on units if they have the required qualification.
When working on the units, the competent persons must observe all applicable directives, standards, laws and other regulations.
Installation by skilled tradesmen only
The unit must be installed by a qualified, skilled tradesman, who is responsible for compliance with the applicable requirements, regulations and directives.
Risk of death from live connections
When working in the electronics box of the boiler, there is a risk of death from electric shock. Continuous voltage is present on the mains connection terminals, even if the main switch is turned off.
Risk of scalding from hot water
There is a risk of scalding at the hot water draw-off points if the set target temperature is greater than 60 °C. Young children and elderly persons are particularly at risk, even at lower temperatures.
Material damage due to unsuitable installation room
If you are installing the controller in a moist environment, the electronics may be damaged by moisture.
Danger due to error functions
CE labelling shows that, based on the type over-view, the appliances comply with the basic requirements of the following directives:
State-of-the-art
The controller is a state-of-the-art unit manufactured in accordance with recognised safety regulations.
Even so, in the event of inappropriate or non-intended use, damage to the appliance and other property may arise. The controller controls a heating installation with a Vaillant heat generator with eBUS interface in a way that is room-controlled and time-dependent. The controller can control the hot water generation from a connected DHW cylinder.
You should only remove the controller temporarily from the wall-mounting base, e.g. to adjust the settings. Apart from that, you should always operate it in conjunction with the wall-mounting base.
Operation is permissible with the following components and accessories:
Improper use
Any other use, or use beyond that specified, shall be considered improper use. Any direct commercial or industrial use is also deemed to be improper. The manufacturer/supplier is not liable for any resulting damage. The user alone bears the risk.
Improper use of any kind is prohibited.
Other applicable documents
Intended use includes the following:
Identification plate
The identification plate is located on the rear panel of the controller casing.
The identification plate contains the following information:

You can either install the radio receiver unit within the boiler or install it separately on a wall in the living area.
You must fit the radio controller on a wall in the living area.
Fitting the radio receiver unit in the boiler
Note
When fitting the radio receiver unit in the boiler’s electronics box, follow the instructions for fitting a radio receiver unit that are given in the boiler’s installation instructions.
Conditions: Horizontal plug connections with no pins on the electronics box
Connect the 3-way pin header supplied with the controller with the short ends in the 3 horizontal openings on the radio receiver unit PCB.
Carefully press the radio receiver unit with the pin header connector into the connection in the electronics box.
When connecting the eBUS line, there is no need to pay attention to the polarity. If the two connections are switched around, communication is not affected.
If you fit the radio receiver unit in the boiler, the electrical connections are made by contact between the controller’s pin header connector and the mating connection on the boiler. Wiring up the radio receiver unit is only required if you have mounted it on a wall.
Connecting the radio receiver unit to the boiler with a “3-4-5 Terminal”
Connecting the radio receiver unit to a boiler with a “24V=RT terminal”
When you start the controller for the first time after electrical installation or after replacement, the installation assistant starts automatically. You can use the installation assistant to make the main settings for the heating installation.
Note
To be able use the controller to set the temperature for the hot water generation and heating circuit, you must set the maximum value for the temperatures on the boiler. You can use the installation assistant to make the main set-tings for the heating installation.
The operating concept, an operation example, and the menu structure are all contained in the operating instructions of the controller.
All settings that you have made using the installation assist-ant can be changed again at a later time via the access level for the system operator Installer level. The read-out and settings options for the installer level are described in the Access level for the competent person (→ Page 19).

You should change the location of the controller or radio receiver unit if the quality rating is below 3. The range of radio transmission inside buildings greatly depends on the local conditions (e.g. design and structure of the building). Consequently, an indoor range of 25 m cannot always be guaranteed. Outside of enclosed spaces (outdoors), the range is more than 100 m.

Recycling and disposal
The controller and the associated transport packaging consists largely of recyclable materials.
If your Vaillant unit is identified with this symbol, it does not belong with your household waste at the end of its useful life.
Leave the disposal of the transport packaging to the approved heating specialist company that installed the appliance.
To ensure regular servicing, it is strongly recommended that arrangements are made for a Maintenance Agreement.
