There are several manuals available for

this temperature control system:

1. Getting started anual, This guide can be

found in the sensor package, and provides

an overview of the syste . Read this first!

2. This anual, use it together with the getting

started anual for standard syste set-up.

3. An extended anual is available for

download. Use this anual for special fea-

tures and to study exa ples.

4. A controller enu overview sheet is also

available for download, used as reference.

IMPORTANT: VMB1TS and VMB1TC odules have

the unique feature of user fir ware update!

Due to the large a ount of applications, check our

web site for anual updates and fir ware updates.

Updates can add or i prove functionality, not de-

scribed in these anuals.

Your current fir ware version can be checked using

the Velbuslink PC software.

Temperature controller 'VM 1TC' connection

Connection

Battery backup

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

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

battery holder at the back of the odule.

To avoid pre ature depletion of the battery, only install it

when per anent power is supplied to the Velbus syste .

ENGLISH

Place the TERM ju per if the odule is

connected at the start or end of a cable on the

Velbus.

Re ove the ju per in all other cases. Place a ju per on the

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

E.g. a nor al two-story house will have 3 ter inators: 1 up-

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

3. Address selection

In order to identify each odule in your syste it is necessary to set an unique address

for each odule. This address will also be used by the PC software to scan all the ad-

dresses and to identify the odules.

CAUTION: Addresses 81,91,A1, B1, C1, D1, E1, F1 & FF can NOT be used, they are

reserved for learning odes.

Exa ples of valid addresses: 01, 02, 03…. 0A, 0B…, 1A, 1B…

A total of 248 valid addresses can be selected for this odule.

Example of a valid address: “0 1”

9. Programming the controller

This controller has two ways to progra heating or cooling periods

1- Nor al week ti er progra ing (see next pages)

2- Wake-up and goto-bed alar ti er feature

This unique alar feature akes progra ing heating or cooling periods very easy. It is even possible to link this ti er to

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

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

How to do this:

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

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

2. Select the “Alar clock set” enu using the → button. Select the “On” (or OFF to disable the alar ) setting

6. Confir using the → button.

7. Exit the enu using the







button.

Next activate the wake-up and Go-to-bed ti ers in the progra . (see next pages)

If the alar function is active, the clock sy bol is indicated on the display.

In this progra exa ple, you see that fro Monday to Friday, 30 inutes (offset) before wake up

ti e, the te perature in the living roo will be set to day preset.
