Your remote control is connected to the
Vitotronic control unit of the boiler by
means of a wireless connection. The
commissioning and adjusting of the
Vitotronic control unit to local conditions
and to the structural characteristics of
the building, 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. The
Vitotronic control unit is factory-set to
"Heating and DHW".
In other words, the rooms that you are
controlling with your remote control are
heated in accordance with the time pro-
gram that has been set at the Vitotronic
control unit, alternating between stand-
ard and reduced room temperature.
DHW heating will also take place in
accordance with the settings from the
Vitotronic control unit.
Power failure
■ All data is saved if there is a power
failure.
Terminology
To provide you with a better understand-
ing of the functions of your remote con-
trol unit, the appendix contains a chapter
entitled "Terminology".

Use the setting options offered by the
remote control:
■ Never overheat your rooms. Every
degree by which the room temperature
is reduced saves up to 6 % on heating
costs.
Never set your room temperature
higher than 20 °C.
■ Select the heating program that meets
your current requirements:
– For short absences (e.g. shopping
trips), select economy mode (see
page 10).
As long as economy mode is activa-
ted, the room temperature is
reduced.
– In the summer, if you do not want to
heat any rooms but require hot
water, select the heating program
(see page 9).
– If you do not want to heat any rooms
and require no hot water for a pro-
longed period of time, select (see
page 9).
Further recommendations:
■ Correct ventilation.
Briefly open windows fully and at the
same time close the thermo-
static valves.
■ Close roller shutters (if installed) at
dusk.
■ Set thermostatic valves correctly.
■ Never cover radiators or thermo-
static valves.
■ Controlled DHW consumption: A
shower generally uses less energy
than a full bath.

Selecting comfort mode
With this function, you can change the
room temperature for several hours, e.g.
if guests unexpectedly stay longer in the
evening. With this function, DHW is
boosted to the set temperature selected
at the Vitotronic control unit.
1. If you want to select a different room
temperature during party mode:
Set the required room temperature
(see chapter "Setting the room tem-
perature").
Note
This value is retained even after party
mode is terminated.
2. Press .
Terminating the comfort function
■ Press
or
■ Automatically after 8 hours
or
■ Automatically when the system
switches to standard heating mode in
accordance with the time program
selected on the Vitotronic control unit.
Selecting energy saving function "Economy mode"
To save energy, you can reduce the
room temperature in standard heating
mode ( must be shown on the display).
For example, if you leave the house for
a few hours.

Heating program
With the heating program you determine
whether you heat your rooms and DHW,
or only heat DHW, or whether you shut
down your heating system with frost pro-
tection monitoring.
You can select the following heating pro-
grams:
■
The rooms are heated and DHW is
provided (winter mode).
■
DHW is provided but there is no cen-
tral heating (summer mode).
■
Frost protection is enabled; no central
heating, no DHW heating.
Operating status
In the heating program , the operat-
ing status changes from "Standard heat-
ing mode" to the operating status
"Reduced heating mode" and vice versa.
The times for the operating status
changeover are defined when the time
program is set at the Vitotronic control
unit.
Heating circuit
A heating circuit is a sealed circuit
between the boiler and radiators, in
which the heating water circulates.
A heating system may comprise several
heating circuits. For example, one heat-
ing circuit for the rooms occupied by you
and one heating circuit for the rooms of
a separate apartment.
Heating circuit pump
Circulation pump for the circulation of the
heating water in the heating circuit.
Actual temperature
Current temperature at the time of the
scan; e.g. actual room temperature.
Mixer
A mixer mixes the water heated in the
boiler with the cooled water returning
from the heating circuit. The water,
heated to the right temperature in line
with demand, is pumped to the heating
circuit by the heating circuit pump. The
Vitotronic control unit adjusts the heating
circuit flow temperature via the mixer to
suit the various conditions, e.g. different
outside temperature.
Night setback
See "Reduced heating mode".
Standard heating mode
When you are in the house during the
day, you can heat the rooms in standard
heating mode. Set the periods with the
time program for central heating at the
Vitotronic control unit. During these peri-
ods, the rooms are heated to the stand-
ard room temperature.
Appendix
Terminology
5592 697 GB

17
Standard room temperature
When you are in the house during the
day, set the standard room temperature
(see page 9).
Reduced heating mode
When you are out or during the night, you
can heat the rooms in reduced heating
mode (setback mode). Set the periods
with the time program for central heating
at the Vitotronic control unit. During
these periods, the rooms are heated to a
reduced room temperature.
Reduced room temperature
When you are out or during the night,
select the reduced room temperature on
the Vitotronic control unit. See also
"Reduced heating mode".
Solar circuit pump
In conjunction with solar thermal sys-
tems.
The solar circuit pump delivers the
cooled heat transfer medium from the
DHW cylinder indirect coil to the collec-
tors.
Set temperature
Specified temperature that should be
reached, e.g. set room temperature (see
page 9).
Summer mode
Heating program "Only DHW".
At warmer times of the year, i.e. when
rooms do not have to be heated, you can
disable heating mode. The boiler
remains operational for DHW heating.
Cylinder primary pump
Circulation pump for heating the DHW in
the DHW cylinder.
