new vaillant ecotec pro

[buckley plumb]

fitted first new pro today found the p codes a little confusing and why is the pressure gauge inside the boiler

[andyg0507]

The pressure guide is on the inside of the boiler so you can fill without having the electrics on and know what pressure your at, as for the p codes first time is a bit weird, just takes a bit of getting used to.

just the same a s the old one p0 and p6 to purge the air out of the system

was the instructions it said use p00 and under that said press left key 1 x for htg / 2 x for htg and hw / 3 x for hw - called vaillant and told just press p00 and it does all 3. from what i read in manual this is a self adjusting gas valve like the baxi.

theres seems to be something weird when you wire a programmer in as well, fortunately i havent had to wire one up yet, but i may be back here crying for help when i do

what did you think of the digital control, i do not know why vaillant think thats better, bring back the old dials

When you wire in a rf programmable. Room stat wire the 2 wires for the room stat into the 230v live and switch live terminals and remove the 24v link from the 24v terminal. Simple when you've done it a few times.

I fitted one a couple of weeks ago, and wished i took the MI home first to get my head around the literature. I spoke to Vaillant and they do a quick commission guide which helps.

 

[JAH HEATING]

I fitted my first a few months ago and I'll be honest I looked a dope when it came to comissioning !! Totally different !!!

Got me head around it now thank god

Hi guys

I'm also confused why vaillant have made so many changes.
I've installed a Eco Tec Plus 831 recently and need to go back to fit a Honeywell T6360.
Any advise how I can make this connection as the manual isn't much help?

 

[ambrosia]

it may not be the programmer your having trouble with, to make the heating come on you have to program the boiler itself, set the flow and return temp etc

the rep was in my local merchants the other day and all he was getting was complaints and abuse about the new models from everyone who had so much as seen one

is that the 2 connections next to the live neutral and earth

 

[mutley racers]

just the one terminal on the far left of the 2 next to the live supply connection and live to the live in boiler if i remember correctly

 

[abc_plumb]

Has anyone wired a Honeywell stat to these boilers?
I've got the digital timers in here, I've got the boiler going on heating, but without a room stat connected.

 

[buckley plumb]

the older one used to be the 2 is it justb the one 240 in now or is the one next to it 240 out

 

[dancinplumba]

deleted my post cos its an open forum sorry

 

[mutley racers]

i had to call vailliant to ask them but i know I only used one of the 2 connections on the left and the live from live in boiler

 

[leonard]

I installed one today and straggled with the room thermostat .I have a Vaillant manual RT and it has three terminals L,N and a sun picture in the middle .
Do you mean connect L,N to the boiler feed and the other one to RT trminal?
Here is the manual on pdf page 29 is the wiring diagram .

[stevetheplumber]

If you want advice phone vailants they will tell any one what to do

 

[southcoastboile]

Wait till you try the Plus if you thought the Pro was complicated!

 

[novicegas]

Whats so complicated bout the Plus?

 

[abc_plumb]

Has any one worked out how to connect a Honeywell T6360B room thermostat to these new Vaillant eco Tec plus boilers?

I'm stuck on one wire.
Here is what I have researched so far.

Take Live supply from the boiler ( Green wiring plug on the pcb) to RT terminal 1
Take S/L from the boiler ( Purple wiring plug on the pcb, closest to green plug, labels RT) to stat terminal 3 heating load
Do I take the the neutral from the green plug to connect to stat terminal 2??

 

[pipefitter]

Take 2 wires from r/stat ,one goes to live other to rt & remove link from 24v rt but leave plug in ........

 

[abc_plumb]

Thanks pipefitter

So what I described above what correct then, apart from the neutral wire.
I thought the honeywell T6360B required a neutral?

 

[buckley plumb]

fitted a plus the other month with vaillant rf digital control it mushed my brain - was asking if there was ext pump and other silly questions when switched on .still not sure if I set it up correct

 

[Ollieg]

eco tec plus does not have a live out any more (Previous 3). That stumped me twice. Fitted 4 now and only just getting used to the initial start up.

No the neutral just runs the anticipator not required

The live out now comes from the live in , hence connect to rt & live
