4.3.2 Control
functions
Hot water temperature control
The hot water temperature in the top half of the cylinder
can be controlled in one of the following ways:
– Vaillant auroMATIC VRS 560/2 solar controller or
– using one of the Vaillant Control Centre‘s with the Vail-
lant dual-channel eBUS controller
– Vaillant VRC weather compensator with VR 61/2 mixer
module and VR 68/2 solar module or
– using the cylinder thermostat in conjunction with a timer.
If you are using a controller by a third-party manufac-
turer, you use this controller to adjust the hot water
temperature. In this case, the Vaillant controller (e.g.
auroMATIC 560/2) acts only as a solar controller and
only controls the temperatures for solar water heating.
Solar circuit control system
The solar circuit can be controlled in one of the follow-
ing ways:
VRS 560/2
(connection wiring diagrams 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6,
¬
section 6.8)
The lower cylinder sensor (SP 2) and the solar yield
temperature sensor are connected up to the VRS 560/2.
The solar pump is controlled via the VRS 560/2.
VRC with VR 68/2
(connection wiring diagram 5, ¬
section 6.8)
The lower cylinder sensor (SP 2) and the solar yield
temperature sensor are connected up to the VR 68/2.
The solar pump is controlled via a VRC.

Temperature differences, not absolute temperature val-
ues, are important for the operation of solar heating
systems. For this reason, solar heating systems are con-
trolled via temperature differential controllers.
Integrated temperature sensors record the temperature
difference between the collector and the cylinder.
If the temperature difference (Kol 1 – SP 2) is larger than
7 K, the solar heating system's solar pump is switched on.
If the temperature difference (Kol 1 – SP 2) is smaller
than 3 K, the solar heating system's solar pump is
switched off.
