Please follow these safety instructions closely to prevent accidents and material losses.
Safety instructions explained
Please note
This symbol warns against the risk of material losses and environmental pollution.
Note
Details identified by the word “Note” contain additional information.
Installation, initial start-up, inspection, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a competent person (heating engineer/installation contractor).
Before working on the equipment/heating system, isolate the power supply (e.g. by removing a separate mains fuse or by means of a mains isolator) and safeguard against unauthorised reconnection.
When using gas as fuel, also close the main gas shut-off valve and safeguard against unauthorised reopening.
Repairing components which fulfil a safety function can compromise the safe operation of your heating system.
For replacements, use only original spare parts supplied or approved by Viessmann.

Please note
Electronic assemblies can be damaged by electrostatic discharge.
Before beginning work, touch earthed objects, such as heating or water pipes, to discharge static loads.

Replacing the control unit

VIESSMANN VBC 130-A04.100 Vitodens Boiler Circuit Control -
Replacing

  1. Open the control unit enclosure.
  2. Undo the bayonet fitting and remove the pressure gauge.
  3. Disconnect all plugs from the control unit.
  4. Remove all existing extensions (internal H1 or H2 extension, LON communication module, cascade module) and install them in the new control unit.
  5. Remove the boiler coding card and insert it into the new control unit.
  6. Release the locking tabs on the control unit and remove the unit.
  7. Insert the new control unit into the control unit support and secure with the locking tabs.
  8. Fit the pressure gauge and secure with the bayonet fitting.
  9. Re-insert all plugs in the control unit.
  10. Close the control unit enclosure and pivot up the control unit.
  11. Insert the programming unit into the new control unit.

Adjusting the control unit to the heating system

Resetting codes to the factory setting
Press the following keys:

  1. L + G simultaneously for approx. 2 s.
  2. “Stand. setting? Yes” is displayed.
  3. to confirm or
  4. to select “Stand. setting? No”.

Then set the coding addresses as detailed in the table on page 2.
Note
The gas type only needs to be converted for operation with LPG. In the delivered condition, the control unit is set up for operation with natural gas.

Starting the boiler

  1. Fit the front panel.
  2. Start the boiler and check it is working correctly.

Additional coding addresses

In conjunction with the new control unit, the following coding addresses can additionally be set:

Factory set code Possible change
16:50 With cyclical calibration, the

calibration
| boiler is started according to the heating curve. If the start point according to the heat- ing curve is above 50 °C, the boiler is started at 50 °C.| 16:127| can be adjusted from 30 °C to 127 °C (limited by boiler-specific parameters)
17:42| With urgent calibration, the| 17:30 to| The start point for calibration
| boiler is started according to the heating curve. If the start point according to the heat- ing curve is above 42 °C, the boiler is started at 42 °C.| 16:127| can be adjusted from 30 °C to 127 °C (limited by boiler-specific parameters)
51:0| System with low loss head-| 51:1| System with low loss header:
| er:
The internal circulation pump always starts when there is a heat demand.| | The internal circulation pump only starts when there is a heat demand if the burner is running.
| | 51:2| System with heating water buffer cylinder:
| | | The internal circulation pump only starts when there is a heat demand if the burner is running.

Additional fault codes
In conjunction with the new control unit, the following fault codes can additionally be displayed:

Fault
code dis- played| System charac- teristics| Cause of fault| Action
---|---|---|---
El| Burner in a fault state| Ionisation current too high during calibration| Check gap between ionisation electrode and burner gauze assembly (see service instructions).
In open flue operation, prevent high incidence of dust in the combustion air.
Press reset button R.
E2| Burner in a fault state| Heating water flow rate too low during calibra- tion. Flow switch
caused shutdown.| Ensure adequate circulation volume. Check flow switch. Remove scaling and blockages.
Press reset button R.
E3| Burner in a fault state| Heat transfer too low during calibration. Temperature limiter caused shutdown.| Ensure adequate heat transfer.
Press reset button R.
E7| Burner in a fault state| Ionisation current too
low during calibration| Check ionisation electrode (see service instructions):
■ Clearance to burner
gauze assembly
■ Electrode contamination
■ Connecting lead and
plug-in connections
Check flue system; remedy flue gas recirculation if required.
Press reset button R.
