Your remote control is wirelessly con-

nected to the Vitotronic boiler control

unit.

The commissioning and adjusting of the

Vitotronic control unit to local conditions

and to building characteristics, plus the

instruction of the user in operating the

system, must be carried out by your

heating contractor.

The settings made at the Vitotronic con-

trol unit are transferred to the remote

control during commissioning.

Factory setting for the Vitotronic control unit

The Vitotronic control unit is factory-set

to "Heating and DHW".

Central heating

■ Between 06:00 and 22:00 h, rooms

are heated to 20 °C (room temperature

for standard heating mode).

■ Between 22:00 and 06:00 h, frost pro-

tection monitoring is enabled for the

boiler and DHW cylinder (room tem-

perature for reduced heating mode:

3 °C).

■ Your heating contractor can make fur-

ther adjustments for you during com-

missioning.

You can change any settings individu-

ally at any time to suit your require-

ments (see chapter "Central heating"

from page 18).

DHW heating

■ Between 05:30 and 22:00 h, the DHW

is heated to 50 °C. Any installed DHW

circulation pump is on.

■ Between 22:00 and 05:30 h, the DHW

cylinder will not be reheated. Any

installed DHW circulation pump is off.

■ Your heating contractor can make fur-

ther adjustments for you during com-

missioning.

You can change any settings individu-

ally at any time to suit your require-

ments (see chapter "DHW heating"

from page 26).

Wintertime/summertime changeover

■ This changeover is automatic.

Power failure

■ All data is saved if there is a power

failure.

Introductory information

Commissioning

5592 245 GB

To provide you with a better understand-

ing of the functions of your remote con-

trol unit, the appendix contains a chapter

entitled "Terminology".

Tips on saving energy

Use the setting options offered by the

remote control:

■ Try not to overheat your rooms; you

can save up to 6 % on your heating

bills for every degree you reduce your

room temperature.

Never set your room temperature

higher than 20 °C (see page 19).

■ Never set the DHW temperature too

high (see page 26).

■ Only activate the DHW circulation

pump when DHW is drawn off. Set the

time program for this (see page 29).

■ Select the operating program that

meets your current requirements:

– For short absences (e.g. shopping

trips), select "Economy mode"

(see page 23).

As long as economy mode is activa-

ted, the room temperature is

reduced.

– If you are going away, set the "Hol-

iday program" (see page 24).

As long as the holiday program is

activated, the room temperature is

reduced and DHW heating is off.

– In summer, if you don't want to heat

any rooms but do need DHW, select

the operating program "Only

DHW" (see page 26).

– If you do not want to heat any rooms

and require no hot water for a pro-

longed period of time, select

"Standby mode" (see page 22).

Further recommendations:

■ Correct ventilation/airing.

Briefly open windows fully and at the

same time close the thermostatic

valves.

■ Close roller shutters (if installed) at

dusk.

■ Set thermostatic valves correctly.

■ Never cover radiators or thermostatic

valves.

■ Controlled DHW consumption: A

shower generally uses less energy

than a full bath.

The Vitotrol 300 RF remote control can

also be taken out of its table-top dock or

wall mounting bracket and used to make

adjustments.

"Mobile test location" appears on the

display.

The room temperature sensor built into

the Vitotrol 300 RF captures the temper-

ature.

While you are holding the

Vitotrol 300 RF in your hands, for exam-

ple, the displayed room temperature

begins to rise (actual room temperature,

see page 12).

However, the Vitotronic control unit oper-

ates on the basis of the room tempera-

ture value that it received before the

Vitotrol 300 RF was removed from its

holder.

If the Vitotrol 300 RF has been out of its

holder for 5 min and has not been used,

an acoustic signal will sound every 30 s.

However, if the remote control is used

during this time, the time counter is

reset.

Once you have finished using the

Vitotrol 300 RF, return it to its table-top

dock or wall mounting bracket.

This ensures that the batteries are

always charged.

The Vitotrol 300 RF enables the follow-

ing adjustments to be made from the liv-

ing space:

■ Standard room temperature

■ Reduced room temperature

■ DHW temperature

■ Operating and holiday program

■ Time phases for central heating

■ Time phases for DHW heating

■ Time phases for the DHW circulation

pump (if installed)

■ Date and time

All other settings are transferred from the

Vitotrol 300 RF to the Vitotronic control

unit and vice-versa. The most recent

adjustments always apply to the relevant

heating circuit.

If you want central heating, check the

following points:

■ Have you selected the heating circuit?

For settings, see page 12 or the next

chapter.

■ Have you set the required room tem-

perature?

For settings, see page 12 or 19.

■ Have you selected the correct operat-

ing program?

For settings, see page 12 or 20.

■ Have you set the required time pro-

gram?

For settings, see page 13.

Selecting a heating circuit

Heating can, if necessary, be split over

several heating circuits.

■ If you are using your remote control to

control several heating circuits, for all

central heating settings, first select

the heating circuit for which you want

to make a change.

■ If you are only controlling one heating

circuit, this option is not available.

Example:

■"Heating circuit 1" is the heating cir-

cuit for the rooms occupied by you.

■"Heating circuit 2" is the heating cir-

cuit for the rooms of a separate apart-

ment.

Note

In the factory setting, the heating circuits

are designated "Heating circuit 1"

"Heating circuit 2" and "Heating cir-

cuit 3".
