Where to find the controls Summary of controls and indicators (cont.) F Fault G Emissions test switch (only for qualified personnel) Changing room temperature In addition to the boiler control unit, a separate room temperature controller must be installed in one of the living rooms to comply with part L of the building regulations if the heating system is to be regulated in accordance with the required room temperature.
Start-up and shutdown Starting the heating system The initial start-up and matching of the control unit to local conditions and struc- tural characteristics of the building, must be carried out by your heating contrac- tor. Before you switch ON a heating system which has been switched OFF for longer periods, it would be advisable to contact your local heating contractor.
Settings Heating If the room temperature controller Vitotrol 100, or similar programmable room thermostat, is connected, then the room temperature is controlled from there. Observe the separate operating instructions. Should the room temperature controller not produce sufficient heat (e.g. when it's very cold), the boiler water temperature can be changed at the rotary selec- tor "tr".
Switch OFF Switching OFF Vitodens with frost protection Switch OFF the equipment if you don't want to use the boiler for a few days. Turn rotary selector "tr" to "9". Boiler frost protection is active. Heating system shutdown Shut down your heating system completely, if it will not be needed for longer periods of time (several months).
