Velleman VMB1TC - Manual (Page 4)

4 VMB1TC Temperature controller manual – rev 5.0
DESCRIPTION
The temperature controller (VMB1TC) forms in combination with one or more temperature sensors (VMB1TS) and relay
modules (VMB1RY or VMB4RY) a programmable thermostat to control a heating or cooling installation.
The different sensors can be adjusted, operated and programmed from one location by using this temperature controller.
Multiple controllers at multiple locations are possible.
It is also possible to define zones to group the sensors.
CHARACTERISTICS
Forms a programmable thermostat together with a Velbus temperature sensor and relay modules
Ideal to control the heating or air-conditioning of your residence
Can control a maximum of 32 temperature sensors (VMB1TS)
Up to 7 zones can be defined
Each sensor/zone can be placed in automatic mode (to follow the program), temporary mode (the program is suspended
for a certain time) or manual mode (the program is disabled for an undefined time period)
Configurable both locally or via PC (using the serial or USB interface in combination with the Velbus link software)
All settings are retained in case of a power cut
Relay control through the Velbus e.g. for alarms
Possibility to set up a differential thermostat using two sensors
LED indication
• When the heater or cooler is active
• When in temporary mode (sleep timer), a LED is flashing
• During high or low temperature alarm, a LED will flash
• When power supply is detected
• When receiving or transmitting data over the Velbus
LCD:
• 2 lines of 16 characters to indicate the name of the selected sensor/zone, the selected mode (comfort, day or night,
anti-freeze), the temperature and the time
• On screen indication of manual mode, temporary mode, duration of temporary mode (sleep time), key guard and
cooling function
• Adjustable white backlight
• Possibility to adjust backlight automatically every day (2 times)
• Adjustable contrast
Clock
• Built-in clock with day indication
• Adjusting one clock synchronizes all other clocks on the Velbus system.
• Possibility to use one clock as reference for all other clocks in the system
• Wake-up function: 2 moments (wake-up time and sleep time) can be set
Local control
• Scroll through the different sensors with one button.
• Direct access to change the mode (comfort, day, night or anti-freeze) and the desired temperature.
• A short press on the menu button will open the short configuration menu:
• set the comfort, day or night temperature
• switch the alarm clock on or off, configure the wake-up and sleep times)
• adjust the clock
• configure the duration of the sleep mode (sleep time)
• Press and hold the menu button (4s) to enter the extended configuration menu:
• enter or change program instructions
• configure the sensors (cooling/heating, lock/unlock control, sleep time, low and high temperature alarm, anti-freeze
temperature, upper heat temperature, lower and upper cool temperature, hysteresis, temperature difference,
unblock pump/valve, zone number, difference sensor, sensor calibration and sensor name)
• select language, read out (°C or °F), reference clock (on/off), alarm time (global/local), emergency power supply
(on/off) or change PIN
• set the address (254 possible), link the alarm output or search for all sensors present on the Velbus
• change the contrast and the backlight of the display
• recall statistics (minimum, maximum temperature and duration of heating/cooling)
• The extended configuration menu can be secured by a PIN.
• The menu is closed automatically after ±1 minute of inactivity.
