- Repair
- Decommissioning
- Proceed in accordance with current technology.
1.3.2 Risk of death from electric shock
There is a risk of death from electric shock if you touch live components.
Before commencing work on the product:
Disconnect the product from the power supply by switching off all power
supplies at all poles (electrical partition in overvoltage category III for
full partition, e.g. fuse or circuit breaker).
Secure against being switched back on again.
Wait for at least 3 minutes until the capacitors have discharged.
Check that there is no voltage.
1.3.3 Material damage due to unsuitable installation room
If you are installing the product in a moist environment, the electronics may
be damaged by moisture.
Only install the product in dry rooms.

Use the correct tool.
1.3.5 Danger due to error functions
Ensure that the heating system is in a technically perfect condition.
Ensure that no safety or monitoring devices have been removed, bridged or
disabled.
Immediately rectify any faults and damage that may affect safety.
At lengths of over 10 m, 230 V supply lines must be laid separately from
sensor or bus lines.
Secure all supply lines in the casing using the cable terminals.
Do not use the unit’s free terminals as supports for other wiring.
1.4 Regulations (directives, laws, standards)
Observe the national regulations, standards, directives, ordinances and laws.

The declaration of conformity can be viewed at the manufacturer’s site.
4 Set-up
4.1 Scope of delivery
4.2 Opening the casing
- Unscrew the bolt from the underside of the casing.
- Pull the casing cover slightly forwards at the lower edge.
- Lift the casing cover upwards.
4.3 Installing the product
- Mount the product and the supplied installation accessory on the wall. Use the fixing points (1) for this.
- Connect the product. ( Page 7)
4.4 Closing the casing
- Insert the casing cover at the top into the hinges.
- Fold down the casing cover.
- Tighten the bolt on the underside of the casing.
5 Electrical installation
Danger! Risk of damage caused by incorrect installation.
Connecting wires that have been stripped back too far may cause short circuits
and damage the electronics if a strand accidentally comes loose.
To prevent short circuits, only strip the outer sheathing of flexible cables
to a maximum of 3.0 cm.
Lay the lines correctly. Use strain reliefs.
5.1 Requirements for the eBUS line
Observe the following rules when routing the eBUS lines:
▶ Use twin-core cables.
▶ Never use shielded or twisted cables.
▶ Use only appropriate cables, e.g. NYM or H05VV (-F/-U).
▶ Observe the permissible total length of 125 m. In this case, a conductor
cross-section of ≥ 0.75 mm² up to 50 m total length and a conductor cross-
section of 1.5 mm² from 50 m.
In order to prevent faults in the eBUS signals (e.g. due to interferences):
▶ Maintain a minimum clearance of 120 mm to power supply cables or other
electromagnetic sources of interference.
▶ For parallel routing to mains connection lines, guide the cables in
accordance with the applicable regulations, e.g. on cable trays.
▶ Exceptions: For wall breaks and in the electronics box, it is acceptable to
not reach the minimum clearance.
5.2 Installing the VR 10 standard sensor
Note You can use the VR 10 as a cylinder temperature sensor (for example, as an immersion sensor in a cylinder dry pocket), as a flow temperature sensor (for example, in the low loss header) or as a surface-mounted sensor. We recommend that the pipe with the sensor be insulated to ensure optimum temperature recording.
If you use the VR 10 as a surface-mounted sensor, secure the VR 10 to a return/flow pipe using the enclosed strap.
5.3 Installing the outdoor temperature sensor
Installing the outdoor temperature sensor
- Connection cable to the VRC 693 external temperature sensor
- Connector in the product
▶ Install the outdoor temperature sensor in accordance with its enclosed set- up instructions.
5.4 Connecting the product

Note
If the diverter valve should be in the position for cylinder charging, 230 V
is output to the “Open” contact. If the diverter valve should not be in the
position for cylinder charging, 230 V is output to the “Closed” contact.
Note The ESCO contact is used to connect a blocking signal (can be configured on the control).
3. Secure all lines in the product using the enclosed strain reliefs.
