Appliance features

Application

The VRC 430 is a weather compensator controller for

heating and generating hot water.

"Weather compensator" means: at low external tem-

peratures the VRC 430 provides more heating output,

and at higher external temperatures lower heating

output. The outside temperature is measured by a

separate outdoor sensor, and the results are transmit-

ted to the VRC 430.

The room temperature is based only on your preset

values. The system compensates for the effect of the

external temperature.

You can use the VRC 430 to set different room target

temperatures - for different times of the day and for dif-

ferent days of the week.

In automatic mode, the VRC 430 controls your heating

according to these settings (see Fig. 0.1).

With the VRT 430 you can also control times for heating

and hot water generation.

The VRC 430 can also be used to control the following

accessory components:

– Circulation pump for hot water generation in conjunc-

tion with a multi-functional module 2 of 7

– Conventional domestic hot water cylinder

– Vaillant layer hot water storage tank actoSTOR

– Second heating circuit using the Vaillant Mixer

Module VR 61

– Solar unit using the Vaillant Solar Module VR 68

The VRC 430 can be operated with the Vaillant remote

control VR 81.

The VRC 430 can form part of a new heating and hot

water generation unit or can also be retro-fitted into an

existing installation. The heating unit must have an

eBUS interface.

eBUS is a communications standard for data exchange

between heating technology components.

Product features

– eBUS interface

– Data connection with a Vaillant heating unit via an

eBUS line

– Illuminated graphical display (display field)

– Operation via both dials according to the Vaillant

"turn and click" principle

– Direct fitting of the controller in the operating panel

of the heating unit or separate wall mounting

– Equipped for operation with Vaillant diagnostics soft-

ware vrDIALOG 810/2 and with the Vaillant Internet

1 Notes on the documentation

The following information is intended to help you work

through the documentation. Additional documents apply

in combination with this operating manual.

We accept no liability for any damage caused by failure

to observe these instructions.

Other applicable documents

– The installation instructions for the Vaillant controller

technician:

– The operating and installation manual for your heat-

ing system

– All instructions for accessory components

Glossary:

At the end of this document, in the appendix, you will

find an explanation of technical terms and important

functions listed in alphabetical order.

1.1 Storing of the documents

Please store this operating manual and all related docu-

ments in such a way that they are available whenever

required.

1.2 Symbols used

Please observe the safety instructions in this manual

when operating the unit.

eDanger!

Danger of death by electrocution!

dDanger!

Immediate risk of serious injury or death!

HCaution!

Danger of burning and scalding!

aCaution!

Potentially dangerous situation for the product

and environment!

hNote!

Useful information and instructions.

⇒Symbol indicating a required task

1.3 Applicability of the manual

This operating manual applies exclusively to units with

the following article number:

0020028520 VRC 430

The article number of your unit can be obtained from

your expert technician.

1.4 CE label

The CE mark documents the fact that the Vaillant con-

troller VRC 430 fulfils the fundamental requirements of

the relevant guidelines.

2 Safety

The VRC 430 may only be installed by a suitably quali-

fied expert technician. This engineer also assumes re-

sponsibility for properly installing and starting up the

unit.

HCaution!

Risk of being scalded by hot water!

At the draw-off locations for the hot water

there is a danger of scalding at temperatures in

excess of 60 °C. Young children and elderly

persons can be in danger even at lower temper-

atures.

Select the set target temperature to prevent

injury to all persons (see section 4.7.4).

Caution!

Risk of being scalded by hot water!

If your expert technician has activated the

anti-legionella function for your domestic hot

water cylinder, the hot water at certain draw-

off points may reach temperatures above

60 °C.

Contact your technician to find out if this func-

tion has been activated, and if so, for which

days and times.

3 Notes on operation

3.1 Intended use

The VRC 430 weather compensator is a state-of-the-art

appliance manufactured in accordance with recognised

safety regulations.

However, damage and property may occur if the unit is

used improperly or for a purpose other than the intend-

ed purpose.

The VRC 430 controller is designed as a weather com-

pensator timer-controlled heating unit with or without

hot water generation/circulation pump in conjunction

with a Vaillant boiler with eBUS interface.

Operation with the following accessories is permitted:

– Circulation pump for hot water generation in conjunc-

tion with a multi-functional module 2 of 7

– Conventional domestic hot water cylinder

– Vaillant layer hot water storage tank actoSTOR

– Second heating circuit using the Vaillant Mixer

Module VR 61

– Solar unit using the Vaillant Solar Module VR 68

– VR 81 remote control device

Any other or extended use is considered to be use other

than intended. The manufacturer or supplier is not liable

for any resulting damage. The owner alone bears any

risk.

Intended use also includes observing the operating and

installation instructions and all other applicable docu-

ments.

3.2 Environmental conditions

If the "thermostat" function is active and the VR 81 re-

mote control unit is not connected, please ensure:

– the unit is not blocked by furniture or other obstacles.

– the radiator valves in the room in which the VRC 430

is fitted are fully open.

"room temperature compensation" means that the

current room temperature is evaluated by the

VRC 430 and taken into account in the control sys-

tem.

Your expert technician will advise you whether the

"room temperature compensation" is activated.

3.3 Care

Clean the enclosure of the VRC 430 with a damp cloth.

Never use scouring or cleaning agents which could dam-

age the operating elements or the display.

3.4 Vaillant warranty

We only grant a Vaillant manufacturer's warranty if a

suitably qualified engineer has installed the system in

accordance with Vaillant instructions. The system owner

will be granted a warranty in accordance with the

Vaillant terms and conditions. All requests for work dur-

ing the guarantee period must be made to Vaillant

Service Solutions (ane 0870 6060 777).

3.5 Recycling and disposal

Both your VRC 430 and its packaging are primarily

made of recyclable raw materials.

Appliance

Neither the VRC 430 nor any of its accessories may be

disposed of in the household waste. Make sure the old

appliance and any accessories are disposed of properly.

Packaging

Please leave the disposal of the transport packaging to

the qualified servicing company which installed the ap-

pliance.

The operating instructions for the simplified basic dis-

play are given in Chapter 4.3.3.

The operating concept described below applies to the

basic display (Fig 4.2) and the various display/input

screens in the operator level.

The two dials (Fig. 4.1 Items 2 and 3) function according

to the Vaillant "turn and click" principle.

When the dials are turned (forwards or backwards) you

can hear them click into position. When the dial clicks

into the adjacent position, the display also moves to the

corresponding adjacent position.

Click (press) to select or accept an adjustable parame-

ter.
