3.1 System design
The VRC 470f controller controls the Vaillant heating
and hot water systems.
You can fix the controller to a wall using the wall-mount-
ing base.
You can mount the radio receiver unit on a wall using
the wall-mounting base or in the controller slot of a Vail-
lant boiler, without the wall-mounting base.

3.2 Functionality
Heating installation
The VRC 470f is a weather compensator with a separate
sensor. The VR 21 sensor is fitted outdoors and meas-
ures the outside temperature and transmits it by radio
signal to the controller. The controller controls the flow
temperature of the heating as a function of the outside
temperature. If the outside temperature is low, the con-
troller increases the flow temperature, and if the outside
temperature is high, it reduces the flow temperature
again. Thus, the controller absorbs fluctuations in the
outside temperature and the room temperature remains
at the constant, preset temperature value.
Hot water production is not affected by the weather
compensation.
The controller is supplied with power by batteries.
Data transmission between the controller and the radio
receiver unit takes place via radio communication. Data
transmission between the radio receiver unit and the
boiler takes place via an eBUS interface, which also pro-
vides the power supply for the radio receiver unit.
For remote diagnosis and programming, you can equip
the controller with the Vaillant Internet communication
system vrnetDIALOG.
Hot water production
With the VRT 470f controller you can also specify the
temperature and timings for hot water production. The
boiler heats the water in the domestic hot water cylinder
to the preset temperature. The times at which hot water
should be available in the cylinder, can be defined with
the help of time periods.
If a circulation pump is installed in the heating system,
time periods can also be set for circulation of the hot
water.
