To activate this function, set an offset value (° K). The 
controller activates summer mode when the outside 
temperature is greater than or equal to the current tar-
get room tempe the set offset value. The target 
room temperature at night, for example, is the   set-back 
temperature. The controller deactivates summer mode 
when the outside temperature is less than the target 
room tempe the set offset value - 1 K.

8.4.12  

Setting the heating curve

Menu ¬ Installer level ¬ System configuration 
 [HEATING 1/2 ----] ¬ Heat curve

If the heating curve setting is not sufficient to control 
the living room climate according to the operator's 
wishes, you can adapt the heating curve setting made 
during installation.

8.4.13  

Setting the minimum flow temperature for 
 heating circuits

Menu ¬ Installer level ¬ System configuration 
 [HEATING 1/2 ----] ¬ Min. temperature

You can enter a minimum value for the flow temperature 
for each heating circuit, which should not be undershot 
during control. The controller compares the calculated 
flow temperature with the value set for the minimum 
temperature and, if there is a difference, adjusts to the 
higher value.

8.4.14  

Setting the maximum flow temperature for 
mixing circuit

Menu ¬ Installer level ¬ System configuration 
 [HEATING 2 ----] ¬ Max. temperature

Only with a connected VR 61/2
You can enter a maximum value for the flow tempera-
ture of HEATING 2, which should not be undershot dur-
ing control. The controller compares the calculated flow 
temperature with the value set for the maximum tem-
perature and, if there is a difference, adjusts to the 
lower value.

8.4.15  Reading the status of special operating modes

Menu ¬ Installer level ¬ System configuration 
 [HEATING 1/2 ----] ¬  Advanced functions

With this function, you can define if a special operating 
mode (advanced function), such as Party function, Inter-
mittent ventilation, etc. should be activated for a heating 
circuit. 

8.4.16  Specifying control modes outside time periods

Menu ¬ Installer level ¬ System configuration 
 [HEATING 1/2 ----] ¬ System off mode

This function enables you to specify, for each heating 
circuit separately, the controller functions in Automatic 
mode outside active time periods. 
Factory reset: Frost prot.
There are three control modes for selection, which 
you can adapt further by using the  Room temperature 
control:

 

Frost protection:

 The heating function is switched off 

and the frost protection function is active. The heat-
ing circuit pump is switched off.
If a second heating circuit is connected, the heating 
circuit pump is switched off and the heating circuit 
mixer is closed. The outside temperature is moni-
tored. When the outside temperature falls below 3 °C, 
the controller switches the heating pump on for 
10 minutes after the end of the  frost protection delay 
time. If a second heating circuit is connected, the 
heating circuit mixer remains closed. After the end of 
the time, the controller checks if the flow temperature 
is less than 13 °C. If the temperature is greater than 
13 °C, the heating circuit pump is switched off.
If a second heating circuit is connected, the tempera-
ture of the VF2 temperature sensor is evaluated and 
the heating circuit pump is switched off at a tempera-
ture greater than 13 °C. If the temperature is less than 
13 °C, the controller switches the heating function on 
and activates the heating circuit pump. The controller 
sets the target room temperature to 5 °C and checks 
again if the outside temperature has reached 4 °C. If 
the outside temperature is greater than 4 °C, it 
switches the heating function and the heating circuit 
pump off.

 

ECO:

 The heating function is switched off.

If a second heating circuit is connected, the heating 
circuit pump is switched off and the heating circuit 
mixer is closed. The outside temperature is moni-
tored. If the outside temperature falls below 3 °C, the 
controller switches the heating function on after the 
end of the frost protection delay time. The heating 
circuit pump is activated.
If a second heating circuit is connected, the heating 
circuit pump and the heating circuit mixer are acti-
vated. The controller controls the target room tem-
perature to the set "Night temperature". Despite the 
heating function being activated, the burner is only 
active on demand. The heating function remains 
active until the outside temperature rises above 4 °C, 
after which the controller switches the heating func-
tion off again, but the outside temperature monitor-
ing remains active.

 

–  

Night temperature:

 The heating function is switched 

on and the target room temperature is set to the set 
"Night temperature" and adjusted to the "Night tem-
perature".
