3.4 Control function
The controller controls the Vaillant heating system andhot water generation of a connected domestic hot watercylinder.
3.4.1 Heating installation
The controller is a room-temperature-controlled controllerand must be installed in the living room.
You can use the controller to set the desired temperaturefor different times of the day and for different days of theweek.
The temperature sensor measures the room temperatureand sends the values to the controller. At lower room tem-peratures, the controller switches the heater on. Once theroom temperature reaches the desired set temperature,the controller switches the heater off. The controller there-fore reacts to the fluctuations of the room temperature andconstantly controls the room temperature to the temperat-ure that you have set.
Overview of the equipment 3
0020135485_00 VRT 350 Operating instructions 9
3.4.2 Hot water generation
You can use the controller to set the temperature and timefor the hot water generation. The heater heats the water inthe domestic hot water cylinder until it reaches the set tem-perature. You can set a time period during which hot watershould be available in the domestic hot water cylinder.
3.4.3 ’VR 66’ Control Centre
If a ’VR 66’ Control Centre is connected, you can controltwo independent heating circuits with just one ’VRT 350’controller; e.g. one heating circuit is in the single-occupancyhouse and the second heating circuit is in a guest apart-ment in this building. In this case, one controller is alwaysthe main controller (Zone 1) and the other controller is theauxiliary controller (Zone 2). For Zone 1, which is controlledvia the main controller, all of the functions are available toyou. For Zone 2, you can use the auxiliary controller to setthe desired temperature for different times of the day anddifferent days of the week.
3.5 Frost protection function
The frost protection function protects the heating systemand apartment from frost damage.
The frost protection function monitors the room temperat-ure. If the room temperature
– falls below 5 °C, the controller switches the heater onand controls the system to a target room temperature of5 °C.
– exceeds 5 °C, the heater is switched off but the roomtemperature monitoring remains active.

5.2.2.2 Setting time periods for days and blocks
You can set individual days or blocks of days for which thetime periods should apply:
– Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Sat-urday, Sunday
– Monday - Friday, Saturday - Sunday, Monday - Sunday
For each day and block, you can set up to three time peri-ods.
Note
The time periods set for a day have priorityover the time periods set for a block.
Example: Time periods for individual daysDesired temperature «Day»: 21 °C
Desired temperature «Night»: 16 °C
Time period 1: 06.00 - 08.00
Time period 2: 16.30 - 18.00
Time period 3: 20.00 - 22.30
Within the time periods, the controller brings the room tem-perature to the set desired «Day» temperature (Comfortmode).
Outside the time period, the controller brings the roomtemperature to the set desired «Set-back» temperature(Set-back mode).
Example: Time periods separate for each dayMonday
Time period 1: 06.00 - 07.30
Saturday
Time period 1: 07.30 - 10.00
Time period 2: 12.00 - 23.30

Within the time period, the con-troller switches to Comfort mode and the heating cir-cuit heats the connected rooms up to the desired «daytemperature». Outside this time period, the controllerswitches to the set-back mode and the heating circuitheats the connected rooms to the desired «set-backtemperature».
5 Operating and display functions
22 Operating instructions VRT 350 0020135485_00
Set the time period for the heating circuit so that each timeperiod:
– starts approx. 30 minutes before the time at which therooms should reach the desired «day temperature».
– ends approx. 30 minutes before the time at which therooms should reach the desired «set-back temperature».
5.2.2.6 For hot water generation
«Menu» → «Timer programs» → «Hot water circuit»
– You can only use the controller's functions and settingoptions for hot water generation if a domestic hot watercylinder is connected to the heating installation.
The timer programs are only effective for hot water gener-ation in the «Automatic mode» and «Summer mode» oper-ating modes.
In each set time period, the desired «Hot water circuit»temperature that you set in the «Desired temperatures»function applies. If, during the time period, the cylindertemperature drops by 5 °C below the desired «Hot watercircuit» value, the domestic hot water cylinder is heatedback up to the desired «Hot water circuit» temperature(recharged). At the end of a time period, the controllerswitches the hot water generation off until the start of thenext time period.
Set the time periods for hot water generation so that eachtime period:
– Starts approx. 30 minutes before the time at which thewater in the domestic hot water cylinder should havereached the desired «Hot water circuit» temperature.
– Ends approx. 30 minutes before the time at which you nolonger need any hot water.
5.2.3 Days away from home scheduling
«Menu» → «Days away from home scheduling» → «HEAT-ING 1»
– With this function, you can set a period with a start andend date and a temperature for days during which youare away from home. Thus, you do not need to changetime periods for which you have set, for example, noreduction of the desired temperature over the courseof the day.

– You can set the display contrast in relation to the bright-ness of the surroundings, to ensure that the display isclearly legible.
5.2.9 Setting the offset room temperature
«Menu» → «Basic settings» → «Offset» → «Room temperat-ure»
– A thermometer is integrated in the controller for meas-uring the room temperature. If you have another ther-mometer in the same room and compare the values witheach other, the temperature values may constantly dif-fer from each other.
Example
One room thermometer constantly shows a temperaturethat is one degree higher than the current room temperat-ure on the controller display. With the «Room temperature»function, you can offset the temperature difference in thecontroller display by setting a correction value of +1 K (1 Kcorresponds to 1 °C). K (Kelvin) is a unit for the temperaturedifference. Inputting a correction value affects the roomtemperature compensator.

Saving energy 6
0020135485_00 VRT 350 Operating instructions 27
6 Saving energy
6.1 Controlling the room temperature
It is normally not necessary to heat bedrooms or seldom-used rooms to 20°C.
▶ Adjust the room temperature according to the purposeof use of the room.
▶ Set the room temperature only as high as would beenough for your comfort level.
Note
An extra degree would mean increased energyconsumption of about 6%.
6.2 Reducing the room temperature
You can reduce the temperature most simply and reliablyby using controllers with individually selectable time pro-grammes.
If you reduce the room temperature by more than 5 °C, youdo not save any additional energy, because increased heat-ing capacities would then be required for the next full heat-ing period. Only for longer absences, e.g. during holidays, isit worthwhile to lower the temperatures further.
▶ Reduce the room temperature at night and in your ab-sence.
▶ During the set-back times, set the room temperature to alower temperature than during full heating times.
▶ During a longer absence, set the temperature using the«Days away from home scheduling» function.
6.3 Uniform heating
If you are only heating one room or individual rooms inyour dwelling, the unheated adjoining rooms are alsoheated in an unregulated manner through walls, doors,windows, roofs and floors. The capacity of the radiatorsin the heated rooms is obviously not enough for such anoperating mode. It is then not possible to heat up theheated rooms sufficiently (the same effect arises whendoors between heated and unheated/barely heated roomsare left open).
▶ Heat all rooms in your dwelling evenly and according totheir use.
6.4 Using thermostatic radiator valves andweather compensators or room thermo-stats
Thermostatic valves on all radiators maintain the roomtemperature exactly once they have been set. If the roomtemperature rises above the value set on the sensor head,the thermostatic radiator valve shuts off automatically;when the temperature drops below the defined value, itopens again.
Exception: The thermostatic valves on the radiators in theroom in which the controller is fitted must be turned fullyon. The radiators are then controlled by the controller andthus maintain the set room temperature.
▶ Adjust the room temperature to your individual require-ments using thermostatic radiator valves. You can usethermostatic radiator valves or a room thermostat toensure the economical operation of your heating install-ation.
6.5 Do not cover controllers
The controller must be able to detect the circulating airunhindered. Covered thermostatic radiator valves can beequipped with remote sensors and thus still work.
▶ Do not cover your controllers with furniture, curtains orsimilar objects.
6.6 Ensuring economic hot water generation
▶ Set the desired «Hot water circuit» temperature of yourdomestic hot water cylinder only to the temperature youactually need, and under no circumstances higher than60 °C.
▶ You should also use the «Timer programs» function forhot water generation in «Automatic mode» or «Summermode». Set the time period so that the water is broughtto the desired «Hot water circuit» temperature shortlybefore it is needed, e.g. in the morning after getting upand in the evening after you return home.
▶ If you do not need any hot water for a longer period oftime, switch hot water generation off.
▶ If you need hot water rarely or outside the set time peri-ods, use the function «Cylinder boost».

11 Glossary
11.1 Selection level
Using a selection level, you access the next level of themenu structure or settings that you can change.
11.2 Mode
With the operating modes, you determine how the heatinginstallation is controlled, e.g. in automatic mode or manu-ally.
11.3 Setting level
You can use the setting level to select and change values.
11.4 Fault message
A fault message shows you that the heating installation hasnotified the controller of a fault.
11.5 Heating circuit
A heating circuit is a closed circulation system of pipes andheat consumers (e.g. radiators). The heated water from theboiler flows into the heating circuit and returns to the boileras cooled water.
11.6 Heating installation
The heating installation heats up the dwelling and produceshot water. A heating installation usually has at least oneheating circuit.
11.7 Night temperature
The night temperature is the temperature to which the con-troller reduces the room temperature outside the set timeperiods (Night mode).
11.8 Room temperature
The room temperature is the temperature actually meas-ured in the dwelling.
11.9 Day temperature
The day temperature is the desired «day» temperature towhich you wish to heat the dwelling (Comfort mode).
11.10 Level of protection
The level of protection indicates the suitability of electricalequipment for various ambient conditions and additionallythe protection of people from potential hazards during theiruse.
11.11 Protection class
Protection class denotes the classification and identifica-tion of electrical equipment with reference to the existingsafety measures to prevent electric shocks.
11.12 Status message
A status message appears when you have activated an ad-vanced function. It is shown for as long as the advancedfunction is active.
11.13 Thermostatic radiator valve
Thermostatic radiator valves are mounted on radiators andcontrol the room temperature to the set value. If the roomtemperature rises above the pre-set value, the thermostaticradiator valve reduces the heating water flow rate. If theroom temperature falls below the pre-set value, the ther-mostatic radiator valve opens and the heating water flowrate increases and the room temperature rises again.
11.14 Flow temperature
The heater heats water which is pumped through the heat-ing installation. The flow temperature is the temperature ofthe water introduced to the heating installation after heat-ing.
11.15 Hot water generation
The boiler heats the water in the domestic hot water cylin-der to the selected «Hot water circuit» target temperature.If the temperature in the DHW cylinder falls by a specificamount, the water is heated up again to the target «Hotwater circuit» temperature.

11.16 Time periods
A time period is a preset, defined time period in which theheater or the hot water generation are switched on.
11.17 Timer program
With timer programs, you can control your heating installa-tion in such a way that heating and hot water are already inthe set time periods with the set desired temperature.
11.18 Access level for the operator
This access level contains all the functions that the oper-ator is allowed to change.
11.19 Access level for the competent person
This access level contains all the additional functions thatcan be changed by the competent person; these must notbe changed without specialist knowledge. This access levelis reserved for the competent person and is therefore pro-tected by an access code.
