There are several manuals available for

this temperature control system:

1. Getting started manual, This guide can be

found in the sensor package, and provides

an overview of the system. Read this first!

2. This manual, use it together with the getting

started manual for standard system set-up.

3. An extended manual is available for down-

load. Use this manual for special features

and to study examples.

4. A controller menu overview sheet is also

available for download, used as reference.

IMPORTANT: VMB1TS(W) and VMB1TC(W) modules

have the unique feature of user firmware update!

Due to the large amount of applications, check our

web site for manual updates and firmware updates.

Updates can add or improve functionality, not de-

scribed in these manuals.

Your current firmware version can be checked using

the Velbuslink PC software.

1. Temperature controller 'VMB1TC' connection

Connection Battery backup

To avoid losing the clock when a power failure occurs, a

backup battery (3V Lithium CR2032) can be installed in the

battery holder at the back of the module.

To avoid premature depletion of the battery, only install it

when permanent power is supplied to the Velbus system.

ENGLISH

Place the TERM jumper if the module is

connected at the start or end of a cable on the

Velbus.

Remove the jumper in all other cases. Place a jumper on the

end module of the longest cable only, NOT on each end point.

E.g. a normal two-story house will have 3 terminators: 1 up-

stairs end point, 1 downstairs end point and 1 in the fuse box.

8. operating the temperature controller

Select room or zone Recall and change the desired temperature

To set up a heating system for different rooms, each

room will need a temperature sensor. Multiple rooms

can be grouped together in zones* (e.g. ground floor,

second floor, bedrooms…).

Prior to setting heating (or air-conditioning) require-

ments for a certain room or zone, the desired room or

zone must be selected on the controller.

Press the ‘Location’ button repeatedly until the desired

room or zone is displayed.

Remark:

Press and hold the ‘Location’ button for easy

switching between rooms and zones.

* See extended manual how-to create zones

At any time the desired temperature for a room can be shown and/

or changed.

Press the ↑or ↓button. The

desired temperature for the

selected room is flashing on

the display.

When desired, change the

target temperature using ↑or

↓buttons.

Return to normal display by

pressing the or ←button or

simply wait for ±5 seconds

without touching any button.

Upon switching between anti-freeze, night, day or comfort

preset, the target temperature will again be replaced with

the selected preset temperature.

ENGLISH

Setting the comfort, day and night temperature presets

The temperature sensor VMB1TS can be used in 4 modes (comfort , day , night or standby -). Every mode has

its own preset for the desired temperature.

1. Press the ‘Location’ button repeatedly until the desired room or

zone for which one wants to set the preferred comfort, day and/

or night temperature is displayed.

2. Press the ‘Menu’ button to enter the short menu.

3. Select the temperature settings menu using the →button.

4. Scroll to the desired mode using ↑or ↓buttons.

5. Select the desired mode using the →button, the temperature

starts flashing.

6. Set the desired mode temperature using ↑or ↓buttons.

7. Confirm using the →button.

8. Exit the menu using the or ←button.

ENGLISH

NOTE: In the “Sensor setting” menu, it is possible to adjust

the temperature limits, these limits will also be used for the

"Upper cool temp." and Anti-freeze presets.

Start sleep timer or switch between preset modes

ENGLISH

The heating or (air-conditioning) can be forced temporary (sleep timer) into a certain mode. During this time period, all

program instructions will be ignored. When the sleep timer ends, normal program execution is resumed.

This could be useful e.g. to force the bathroom heating in comfort mode for an hour.

Press the ‘Location’ button repeatedly until the desired room or zone is displayed or select

"ALL ROOMS" if you go on holiday.

Once you switch the desired mode (anti-freeze, night, day or comfort) using the ‘Mode’

button, the sleep timer (hourglass) is activated automatically.

The LED of the Mode push button (bottom left) starts flashing as well as the indication

LEDs on the sensor module. The display indicates an hourglass.

The remaining time of the sleep timer is displayed, unless a zone was selected.

NOTE:

To cancel the sleep function and keep the preset mode, press and HOLD the mode button

until sleep (hourglass) is cancelled. This preset will remain active until a program step is

executed for this sensor or zone.

Setting the sleep time (temporary mode)

ENGLISH

Once the heating (or air-conditioning) is in temporary mode, the duration of the sleep timer can be increased or decreased.

This could be useful e.g. to leave the heating in comfort mode a few hours/days or manual.

1. If sleep timer is active, press the ‘Menu’ button

2. The ‘Sleep timer’ menu appears on the display. Select the

item using the →button.

3. The remaining sleep timer-time flashes on the display.

Change the time using ↑or ↓button.

4. Confirm the changes using the →button.

Remark: Cancel the changes by pressing the ←button.

5. Exit the menu using the or ←button.

YOU CAN SELECT :

Hours 

Days (in case of holiday..)

Manual (always locked, in case of summer time..)

9. Programming the controller

This controller has two ways to program heating or cooling periods

1- Normal week timer programming (see next pages)

2- Wake-up and goto-bed alarm timer feature

This unique alarm feature makes programming heating or cooling periods very easy. It is even possible to link this timer to

other modules in your Velbus system (eg. Open de blinds, power-up the radio...)

The alarm can also be turned ON or OFF in a few steps, just like any clock radio or alarm clock

How to do this:

First set the time you go to sleep and the time you want to wake up.

1. Open the “short” menu by pressing the ‘Menu’ button and select the “Alarm clock set” menu using ↑or ↓buttons.

2. Select the “Alarm clock set” menu using the →button. Select the “On” (or OFF to disable the alarm) setting

3. Confirm using the →button. The hour-indication flashes.

4. Set the “Wake-up time” (hour/minutes) using ↑or ↓and →buttons.

5. Next Set the “Go-to-bed time” (hour/minutes) using ↑or ↓and →buttons.

6. Confirm using the →button.

7. Exit the menu using the button.

Next activate the wake-up and Go-to-bed timers in the program. (see next pages)

If the alarm function is active, the clock symbol is indicated on the display.

In this program example, you see that from Monday to Friday, 30 minutes (offset) before wake up

time, the temperature in the living room will be set to day preset.
