Vitotrol 300 RF with integral wireless
transmitter for operation with the wire-
less base station (accessory for
Vitotronic boiler and heating circuit con-
trol units) and with Vitotronic 200 RF,
type HO1C.
Up to three heating circuits can be oper-
ated with one Vitotrol 300 RF; alterna-
tively one Vitotrol 300 RF can be
employed for each heating circuit in a
single heating system.
Installation site
■ Vitotrol 300 RF with table-top dock
■ Vitotrol 300 RF with wall mounting
bracket
Operation with or without room temperature hook-up
■Weather-compensated mode
Installation in any room (preferably in
the main living room).
■Operation with room temperature
hook-up (also see illustration on
page 7)
The integral room temperature sensor
captures the actual room temperature
and effects any necessary correction
of the flow temperature.
The captured room temperature is
dependent on the installation site:
– On an internal wall in the main living
room, at a height of approx. 1.5 m
from the floor.
– Not next to windows or doors.
– Not above radiators.
– Not on shelves, in recesses, etc.
– Not near heat sources (direct sun-
light, fireplace, TV set, etc.).
Do not install further control devices in
this room. Any thermostatic radiator
valves must always be fully opened.

Wireless connection
Select the installation site of the
Vitotrol 300 RF so that the radio signals
are beamed as vertically as possible
through walls and floors to the wireless
base station or Vitotronic 200 RF.
Note
Conducting metallic materials (e.g.
steel-reinforced concrete floors) have a
strong negative effect on reception.
Prior to the final fitting, commission the
Vitotrol 300 RF and check the transmis-
sion and reception quality at the intended
installation site.

connected to the control unit via KM
BUS.
Separate installation and serv-
ice instructions
■ The control unit to which the wireless
base station is connected must be
switched on.
■ Position the Vitotrol 300 RF for com-
missioning close to the wireless base
station Vitotronic 200 RF.
■ Rechargeable batteries supply power
to the Vitotrol 300 RF. The table-top
dock and wall mounting bracket are
also charging stations for the batteries.
