Introductory information Device description The Vitocal 200-G is a brine/water heat pump with an electric drive. & Up to two heating circuits (one with mixer) can be heated. & Any peak demand can be covered by an integral electric heater (mono-mode operation), which is available as an accessory.
Introductory information Power interruptions During any power interruption by the power supply utility, the display shows the text in the screenshot. The control unit restarts in accor- dance with the selected operating mode as soon as the utility restores the power supply. Subject to the type of power supply, the interruption may affect either the heat pump or only the instantaneous...
Where to find the controls Summary of controls and indicators You can change all settings of your heating system, centrally, at the program- ming unit. All existing control circuits are displayed as symbols on the display H when the programming unit flap is closed. When the programming unit flap is open (see Fig.

Where to find the controls Operation when using remote control units . . . (cont.) & The settings for the heating circuit without remote control are selected at the Vitocal 200 programming unit (see from page 21). & The settings for the heating circuit with remote control are made at the remote control.
Start-up/shutdown Starting the heating system The commissioning and matching of the control unit to local conditions and the structural characteristics of the building must be carried out by your heating contractor. 1. Check the system pressure at the pressure gauge: The system pres- sure is too low if the indicator points to the area below 1.2 bar.
Start-up/shutdown DHW and central heating Subject to two heating circuits being connected, all settings made at the operat- ing mode selector affect both heating circuits. Central heating Central heating will only take place during the heating season. The heating sea- son will be determined subject to the outside temperature.

Adjusting the room temperature Setting a permanent room temperature (cont.) Select the required temperature at the rotary selector m. Note If two heating circuits are installed, this change will affect both heating circuits. After a short delay, the new set tem- perature will be shown in area G of the display (see page 7).
Adjusting the room temperature Setting a permanent room temperature (cont.) Setting switching times (time program u) For central heating, setting the switching times can affect a changeover between the operating modes "Standby", "Reduced", "Standard", and "Fixed value".

The height of the bar and the abbreviation indicate the respective operating mode associated with the displayed time (l.h. top of the display). Note In the "Standard" operating mode, the heating water buffer cylinder will be heated to the flow temperature selected for the heating circuit.
Further adjustments Start optimisation for heating circuits This function ensures that, at the start of the programmed switching time for standard mode (see page 18), the required standard set room temperature has already been reached. Note This function is only available if, for the heating circuit concerned, a room tem- perature sensor or a remote control unit with integral room temperature sensor is connected.
