9 Operation

The  Vaillant ecoTEC plus boiler is fitted with a digital infor-
mation and analysis system (DIA). If additional settings are 
required, which have not yet been configured using the 
installation assistant, you can view and modify further 
parameters using the DIA.

The operating concept and operation of the boiler is 
described in the 

¬ operating instructions 

of the boiler. The 

read-off and setting facilities of the operator level are also 
described in the 

¬ operating instructions

.

The following overview shows the read-off and setting facili-
ties of the installer level.

9.1 

Calling up the  installer level 

b

 Caution.

Risk of damage caused by incorrect han-
dling.

Incorrect settings at installer level can 
cause damage to the heating installation.

 

>

You should only access the installer level 
if you are an approved competent per-
son.

The installer level is secured against unauthorised access 
with a password because incorrect parameter settings at 
this level may cause functional faults and damage to the 
heating installation.

 

>

Press the left 

 and right 

 selection 

buttons ("i") 

simultaneously

The following menu appears on the display.

 

>

Scroll using the minus button 

 or the plus but-

ton

Press the

 

right-hand selection button 

 to con-

firm the entered code.

The installer level appears with a selection of menu points.

  In the following, a path specification at the 

beginning of an action instruction specifies how 
to access this function in the installer level, e.g. 

Menu ¬ Installer level ¬ Test programs ¬ Test 
programs

  If you exit the installer level and then access it 

again within 15 minutes, you do not have to 
enter the code again.
