The commissioning and matching of the
control unit to local conditions and build-
ing characteristics, as well as instructing
the user in the operation of the system,
must be carried out by your heating con-
tractor.
As the user of new combustion equip-
ment, you may be obliged to notify your
local flue gas inspector of the installation
[check local regulations]. Your local flue
gas inspector will also inform you [where
appropriate] about work he may be
required to perform on your combustion
equipment (e.g. regular checks, clean-
ing).
Your system is preset at the factory
The control units are factory-set for cen-
tral heating and DHW heating:
■ Vitotronic 100:
" "
■ Vitotronic 300-K:
"Heating and DHW"
Your heating system is therefore ready
for use.
Central heating
■ Between 6:00 and 22:00 h, the rooms
are heated to 20 °C "Set room tem-
perature" (standard heating mode).
■ Between 22:00 and 6:00 h, the rooms
are heated to 3 °C "Set reduced room
temp" (reduced heating mode, frost
protection).
■ Your heating contractor can make fur-
ther settings for you during commis-
sioning.
You can change any settings individu-
ally at any time to suit your require-
ments (see chapter "Central heating").
DHW heating
■ Between 5:30 and 22:00 h, the DHW
is heated to 50 °C "Set DHW temper-
ature". Any installed DHW circulation
pump is on.
■ Between 22:00 and 05:30 h, the DHW
cylinder temperature will not be rehea-
ted. Any installed DHW circulation
pump is off.
■ Your heating contractor can make fur-
ther settings for you during commis-
sioning.
You can change any settings individu-
ally at any time to suit your require-
ments (see chapter "DHW heating").
Frost protection
■ Your boiler, heating circuits and DHW
cylinder are protected against frost.
Wintertime/summertime changeover
■ This changeover is automatic.
Time and date
■ The day and time were set by your
heating contractor during commission-
ing.

failure.
Terminology
To provide you with a better understand-
ing of the functions of your control unit,
the appendix contains the chapter "Ter-
minology" (see page 52).

Each boiler is equipped with its own con-
trol unit for constant temperature opera-
tion. These control units are regulated by
a higher weather-compensated cascade
control unit.
■ Control unit for constant temperature
operation on the boiler:
Vitotronic 100
■ Higher weather-compensated cas-
cade control unit:
Vitotronic 300-K
You can change all settings for your
heating system centrally at the control
unit programming unit.
You may also make such changes at the
remote control units, if your system is
equipped with such units.
Remote control operating instruc-
tions
The settings at the Vitotronic 100 are
described in these operating instruc-
tions. You do not need the operating
instructions provided with these control
units.
