Installation Instructions 

for Control Center VR 65

6 Start-up

The initial start-up of the VR 65 is carried out together 
with the initial start-up of the heating appliance.

  Note!

In the factory settings, the heating appliance 
operation is set to warm water priority.

  Note! 

To comply with the approvals, the boiler must 
be Vaillant ecoTEC if the cylinder NTC solution 
is used.

If a parallel operation for central heating and charging of 
the DHW cylinder is required, change this setting on the 
boiler in the following way.
•  Press the “i” and “+” keys simultaneously. 

The display shows “d.00”.

•  Use the “+” or “-” keys to scroll to the diagnostic 

number d.97 to enter the second diagnostic level.

•  Press the “i” key. 

The display shows the relevant diagnostic information.

•  Use the “+” or “-” keys to change the value (display 

flashes) to 17 (password).

•  Save the new value by pressing and holding down the 

“i” key for approx. 5 seconds until the display no long-
er flashes.

•  Use the ‚+‘ and ‚-‘ keys to scroll to the diagnostic point 

d.70

•  Press the “i” key. 

Change the setting using the ‚+‘ and ‚-‘ keys.

•  Save the new value by holding down the “i” key for 

approx. 5 seconds until the display no longer flashes.

You can end the diagnostic mode as follows:
•  Press the “i” and “+” keys simultaneously.

The following settings are possible:

Warm water priority

-  The 3-port valve is in the heating or 

hot water position depending on the 
operating mode.

-  With 2-port valves, either the DHW 

valve or the CH valve is open, both 
valves are closed on standby.

x

1

Enable mid position

-  The 3-port valve is in the mid position 

for simultaneous heating and hot 
water request, or in the heating or 
hot water position, depending on the 
operating mode.

-  With 2-port valves, both valves are 

open during simultaneous heating 
and hot water request. Otherwise, 
only one valve is always open and 
both valves are closed on standby.

2

Only heating mode (only for test 
operation!)

-  Only the CH valve is activated.

7 Troubleshooting

The Control Center VR 65 has a green Operating LED, 
which can be monitored when the housing cover is 
removed (see fig. 4.2). 

Problem

Cause

Remedy

LED permanently 
off

No 230 V supply 
available or fuse in 
appliance defective

-  Check whether the 

mains voltage cable 
is connected 
correctly.

-  Check the mains 

fuse for the 230 V 
supply and 
reconnect the mains 
supply.

-  Replace the mains 

fuse in the VR 65 
(4 A slow).

LED permanently 
on

No error

- Normal operation

LED flashes quickly Short circuit of the 

connected tempera-
ture sensor (NTC) in 
the DHW cylinder

-  Check the cable of 

the temperature 
sensor (NTC) for 
damage.

-  Replace the temper-

ature sensor (NTC) 
in the DHW cylinder.

LED flashes slowly

Communication error 
in eBUS protocol to 
the boiler

-  Inform the Vaillant 

customer service.
