Appliance
Neither the VRC 430 nor any of its accessories may be
disposed of in the household waste. Make sure the old
device and any existing accessories are disposed of
properly.

The disposal of the transport packaging is undertaken
by the installer who installed the unit.
Outside temperature in C

Axis a
If the heating curve 1.5 is selected and, for the set target
room temperature, 22 C rather than 20 C is specified,
then the heating curve is displaced as shown in Fig. G.2.
The heating curve is displaced in a parallel fashion on
the axis inclined at 45 by the value of the set target
room temperature. i.e. at an outside temperature of
0 C, the control system provides a flow temperature of
67 C.
Room temperature
The room temperature is the actual current temperature
in your apartment.
Set-back temperature
The set-back temperature is the temperature to which
your heating lowers the room temperature to outside
the programmed time windows.
Summer/Winter changeover
In the screen 1 "Basic Data" in the menu point "Mode
selection" you can determine whether the changeover
from summer to winter should take place automatically
(Selection: Auto).
The factory setting (as-supplied condition) is for
automatic changeover not to take place (Selection: Off).
If the VRC 430 is equipped with the outside sensor
VRC 9535, which receives the radio time signal DCF77,
summer/winter changeover takes place automatically;
in this case switching the automatic changeover off is
not possible (Selection: Off).
