2.2 Intended use
The Vaillant solar heating system has been constructed
using state-of-the-art technology in accordance with recognised safety regulations.
Nevertheless, there is still a risk of injury or danger of
death to the operator or others or of damage to the unit
and other property in the event of improper use or use
for which the unit is not intended.
These components of the Vaillant solar heating system
are not intended to be used by persons (including children) with limited physical, sensory or mental capabilities or insufficient experience and/or knowledge, unless
they are supervised by a person who is responsible for
their safety or have been instructed by this person on
how to use the unit.
Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the unit.
The purpose of the Vaillant solar heating system is to
provide a solar-supported hot water supply.
Vaillant auroSTOR VIH S GB 210/2 S, VIH S GB 260/2 S,
and VIH S GB 310/2 S solar cylinders are unvented, indirectly heated domestic hot water cylinders for solar
heating systems designed for use with gas-fired wallhung boilers as per GB standards for hot water supply
systems. The cylinders work with the pressure of the
water supply line and do not need a cold water tank for
their supply.
They are used only to supply potable water heated up to
80 ºC by means of a solar collector array. They may only
be used for this purpose. The cylinders can be used in
combination with a downstream gas-fired wall-hung
boiler for hot water production in accordance with
GB standards.
Any other use that is not specified in these instructions,
or use beyond that specified in this document shall be
considered improper use.
Any direct commercial or industrial use is also deemed
to be improper.
The manufacturer/supplier is not liable for any claims or
damage resulting from improper use. The user alone
bears the risk.
Intended use includes the following:
– observance of accompanying operating, installation and
servicing instructions for Vaillant products as well as for
other parts and components of the system
– compliance with all inspection and maintenance condi-
tions listed in the instructions.
.
Improper use of any kind is prohibited!
At the end of these instructions there is a commissioning report which you must fill in and hand over to the
operator.
All installers should have a current ID card and registration number. The cylinder must be installed by a competent person approved at the time by the Health and
Safety Executive to the prevailing standards, installation
book and building regulations at the time of installation.
2.3 General safety instructions
Installation, commissioning, and maintenance
Installation and adjustment as well as service, maintenance and repair must be carried out by a competent
person approved at the time by the Health and Safety
Executive and be in accordance with the relevant
requirements of the Local Authority, Building Regulations, Building Regulations (Scotland), Building Regulations (Northern Ireland), and the bye-laws of the local
Water Undertaking.
All electrical wiring must be carried out by a competent
electrician and be in accordance with the current I.E.E.
Wiring Regulations.
> Make sure that the system has been planned in
accordance with technical regulations and all applicable
planning standards.
Risk of death due to lack of safety devices
A lack of safety devices (e.g. expansion relief valve,
expansion vessel) can lead to potentially fatal scalding
and other injuries, e.g. due to explosions.
The schematic drawings included in this document do
not show all safety devices required for correct installation.
> Install the necessary safety devices in the system.
> Inform the operator about the function and position of
the safety devices.
> Observe the applicable national and international laws,
standards and guidelines.
Safety information on the solar heating system
> Mount and operate the entire solar heating system in
accordance with the recognised technical regulations.
> Make sure that all valid health and safety regulations are
observed, especially for work on the roof. Always use fall
protection devices if there is a risk of falling. We recommend the use of a Vaillant safety belt. Observe the accident prevention regulations of the professional associations.
> Earth the solar circuit for potential equalisation and to
protect against overvoltage. Attach earthing pipe clamps
to the solar circuit pipes and connect the clamps to a
potential equalisation bar using 16 mm
2
Cu cable.

2 Safety instructions and regulations
Cylinder safety information
Following an inspection, it was ascertained that this
product complies with the building regulations for closed
hot water cylinder systems and must not be changed or
rebuilt in any way.
> When replacing parts, only original replacement parts
from Vaillant Ltd. may be used.
The installation must be approved in accordance with
the building regulations.
> Installation plans must be disclosed to the relevant
authorities.
Important:
As stipulated in the manual "Handling Operations Regulations 1992", the weight of the unit exceeds that which
should be lifted by one person alone.
Electric potential equalisation
If you use an electric immersion heater in the cylinder,
the external voltage may build up electrical potential in
the water which can result in the electrochemical corrosion of the electric immersion heater.
If the solar cylinder is connected with pipes made of
non-metallic materials and is not earthed, corrosion
damage can occur.
> Make sure that both the hot water and cold mains inlets
are connected to the earth line by means of
an earth cable directly on the cylinder.
> You must also make sure that the electric immersion
heater is connected to the earth line via the earthing terminal.
Risk of scalding and damage from escaping hot or cold
water.
> If you use plastic pipes for the hot or cold water connec-
tion of the unit, you must only use pipes which are temperature-resistant up to 95 °C under a pressure of 1.0
MPa (10 bar).
If the solar heating system is in stagnation, hot steam
can escape from the expansion relief valve of the solar
pump unit, causing injury to persons. Escaping solar
fluid is visible in the collection canister.
> Connect the expansion relief valve to a collecting
container via a metal pipe.
> Position an air vent or an air separator system in such a
way that persons are not endangered by escaping steam.
> Install a hot water thermostat mixer in the system
to protect against scalding.
Preventing frost damage
You should not turn the gas-fired wall-hung boiler off
completely so that you can still use all of the safety
functions for your heating system. If you want to take
the unit out of operation for a relatively long period of
time in an unheated room at risk from frost, you must
completely drain the auroSTOR.
Avoiding damage caused by leaks
If there are leaks in the pipework, close off the cold
water stop valve on the safety assembly and notify a
competent person so that they can rectify the leaks.
Preventing damage due to unauthorised changes
to the unit
Changes to the supply lines, relief valve termination,
and expansion relief valve may only be carried out by
a competent person!

2.5.3 Regulations for the prevention of accidents
When carrying out works such as solar installation work
it is necessary to do so in a safe and workman like manner, taking due care of any aspects of the works that
could result in injuries to person in or about the building
as well as workers, passers by and the general public at
large. To that end these works must conform, but not be
limited to, the current regulations in force such as the
following
Health and Safety at Work act 1974
Work at Height Regulations 2005.
Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
All necessary Building Regulations.
Work should be preceded by a risk assessment covering
all aspects of health and safety risks, or training requirements that can reasonably be foreseen to be
associated with the work. All scaffolding in the UK, other
than prefabricated (zip-up) scaffold towers, must be
designed and constructed by a vetted contractor, and
have suitable kick boards, hand rails and where appropriate netting. Areas around the scaffolding should be
zoned off and marked with suitable warning signs to a
suitable distance to protect persons from falling objects.
Workers should have available and use personal protective equipment as necessary. This would include equipment such as fall protection systems, safety gloves,
goggles, dust masks as well as any specialised equipment that may be in use such as lifting and handling
equipment.
The completed works shall comply with all necessary
BS EN Standards and Codes of practice as well as Building control or planning requirements and be confirmed
where necessary by notification to building control or
the appropriate competence based notification body.
3 System description
3.1 Design and function of solar heating system
The solar heating system consists of four main compo-
nents:
– The collectors, which absorb the solar radiation and
make it useful
– The solar controller, which monitors, displays, and cont-
rols all system functions
– The solar pump unit, which is responsible for trans-
porting the solar heat
– The solar cylinder
The Vaillant solar heating system is a closed hydraulic
system in which heat is transferred to the cylinder via
the heat exchanger with the help of the system's special
heat transfer fluid.
On days when the solar radiation is not sufficient to heat
the hot water in the cylinder, the cylinder water must be
reheated using a heating system. This can take place
using a gas-fired wall-hung boiler or an electric immer-
sion heater.

The collector(6) converts solar energy into heat and
transfers the heat energy to a frost-protected solar fluid.
Using the pipe system, the solar pump of the solar pump
unit (7) conveys the heat from the collector to the bivalent cylinder (2). The solar pump unit is controlled by
the solar controller.
The solar controller switches the solar pump on and off
as soon as the temperature difference between the collector and cylinder exceeds or falls below the preset
value. If the solar energy is not sufficient for requirements, the controller activates the gas-fired wall-hung
boiler (1) to reheat the top third of the cylinder to the
set hot water temperature value. The water in the cylinder can also be reheated using the electric immersion
heater installed at the factory.
A solar expansion vessel compensates for pressure
fluctuations in the solar circuit.
A solar protection vessel protects the expansion vessel
from excessive temperatures in the solar circuit. We recommend installing a protection vessel.
All Vaillant solar sets contain a combined solar protection and solar expansion vessel (8).
reach the drainage system.
For the supply and return lines in the solar cir-
cuit, use insulated stainless steel pipes, e.g. the
Vaillant Solar flexible pipe that is included in the
scope of delivery of a Vaillant Solar set. Alternatively, you can also use copper pipes with press
fittings and suitable insulation. Soft solder connections are not suitable for solar piping.
If a cylinder is fitted very high up in the building,
negative pressure may form in the cylinder.
Under such circumstances, the competent person must decide whether an anti-vacuum valve
is required in order to prevent damage to the
cylinder. If, as a result of draining or thermal
contraction of the drinking water, the negative
pressure in the cylinder is too high, an anti-vacuum valve ensures pressure compensation as a
result of air flowing into the cylinder.
3.2 Electrical wiring
If you use an eBUS-compatible Vaillant gas-fired wallhung boiler, you can use a Vaillant Control Centre for the
wiring.
If you are using a non-eBUS-compatible Vaillant gasfired wall-hung boiler or a third-party boiler, you can
use a standard cabling box.
Section 6.8 of these instructions describes the electrical
wiring of the system in detail.
3.3 Hot water temperature regulation
You can control the hot water temperature in the top
third of the cylinder using an auroMATIC VRS 560/2 or a
calorMATIC VRC470 with VR68/2 and VR61/2 or with a
separate hot water controller.
Danger!
Risk of burns and scalds!
a
3.4 Heating control
If you are using an eBUS-compatible Vaillant gas-fired
wall-hung boiler, you can control the heating using a
programmable Vaillant VRT room thermostat or a VRC
weather compensator.
If you are using a non-eBUS-compatible Vaillant gasfired wall-hung boiler or a third-party boiler, you can use
a Vaillant VRT30 room thermostat or one of the room
thermostats commonly available on the market.
Water at a temperature of more than 60 ºC
could be delivered to the hot water draw-off
points.
> Install a hot water thermostat mixer in
the hot water pipe to provide effective
scald protection.
> Set the hot water thermostat mixer to
less than 60 ºC and check the temperature at
a hot water draw-off point.

4 Description of the components
The auroSTOR solar cylinder is available in three sizes:
210, 260, and 310 litres. The cylinder is made from stainless steel and is insulated with EPS with heat radiation
absorbers. The cylinder is supplied along with all
required cold and hot water control devices and a two
port motorised valve.
The cylinder works with the pressure of the water supply
line and does not need a cold water tank for its supply.
The cylinder has hot and cold water inlets with a diameter of 22 mm. To enable the cylinder to work as well as
possible, a cold water supply with a dynamic pressure
and flow rate that are appropriate for the system is
required (¬ section 6.6.1).

4.2 Solar fluid
4.2.1 Properties of solar fluid
This information applies to Vaillant solar fluid
(20l canister: article number 302498 and 10l canister:
article number 302363).
Vaillant solar fluid is a ready-mixed frost and
corrosion protection agent, consisting of approximately
45% propylene glycol with anti-corrosion inhibitors and
55% water.
Vaillant solar fluid is extremely temperature-resistant
and can be used in conjunction with Vaillant tube collectors and Vaillant flat collectors.
The solar fluid also has a high heat capacity.
The inhibitors provide reliable corrosion protection when
different types of metal are used (mixed installations).
Caution!
Risk of damaging the collectors and
b
i
other system parts if unsuitable solar
fluid is used.
If you mix the solar fluid with water or
another liquid, frost and corrosion protection cannot be ensured.
> Never mix the solar fluid with water
or another liquid.
Do not use any other frost protection agents or
inhibitors for the Vaillant solar heating system.
Only Vaillant's solar fluid is permitted for use
with the system.
4.2.2 Solar circuit frost and corrosion protection
system
In order to reliably protect the solar heating system
from frost in winter, you must fill the entire system with
undiluted Vaillant solar fluid.
Filling the solar heating system with Vaillant
solar fluid provides frost protection up to
i
We recommend the Vaillant refractometer for quick and
simple checking. A classic Vaillant frost protection tester
can be used for this.
See the enclosed operating instructions.
4.2.3 Cylinder frost protection
If you want to put a cylinder out of operation where it
may be at risk from frost, you must drain it completely.
It is drained at the cold water inlet with a T-piece with
tap to be provided by the installer.
Any heat exchangers not filled with solar fluid in rooms
which are at risk of frost must also be completely
drained.
approx. -28 ºC.
Even at outside temperatures of lower than
-28 ºC, frost damage does not occur straight
away since the explosive effect of the water is
distributed. Check the frost protection effect
after filling the system and then once every year.
Vaillant solar fluid is infinitely durable in hermetically
sealed containers.
It is not dangerous if it comes into contact with the skin.
Eye contact only causes minor irritations, you should
nevertheless immediately wash your eyes.
Pay attention to the safety data sheet
(¬ section 4.2.4).

4.3.1 Vaillant controllers and their basic functions
VRS560/2 solar controller
The auroMATIC 560/2 solar controller is a differential
temperature-controlled control set for solar-aided hot
water production with demand-controlled primary heating for Vaillant gas-fired wall-hung boilers.
The control set is a fully equipped system for solar heating systems with a collector array and cylinder.
If a solar yield temperature sensor (VR 10, supplied with
controller) is connected, the solar yield can be recorded.
Control Centre
A Vaillant Control Centre provides a system solution
which allows the Vaillant dual-channel eBUS controller
(low-voltage) to be used in the English market with
valves and domestic hot water cylinders with conventional 230 V cylinder thermostats.
The Control Centre sends the information on the heat
requirement of the cylinder to the Vaillant ecoTEC gasfired wall-hung boiler. The gas-fired wall-hung boiler
decides whether a hot water requirement needs to be
met and sends a signal to control the 230 V valves via
the Control Centre.
The gas-fired wall-hung boiler can thus hold different set
temperature values for heating mode and for hot water
handling.
A Control Centre can be used to integrate commonly
available 230 V S plan or Y plan components into the
Vaillant eBUS system.
4.3 System configuration
The Vaillant solar heating system enables various system configurations and control types in accordance with
the connection wiring diagrams 1 to 6 (¬section 6.8).
Single-channel eBUS controllers are not suitable
for this system configuration.
i
Wiring
If you use an eBUS-compatible Vaillant gas-fired wallhung boiler, you can use one of the Vaillant Control Centres to wire the system.
For all other gas-fired wall-hung boilers, you can use a
standard cabling box.
VRC weather compensator
(VRC430, VRC430f, VRC470, VRC470f)
A VRC controller controls the solar heating system in a
weather-compensated and time-dependent manner with
or without hot water production/a circulation pump in
conjunction with a Vaillant gas-fired wall-hung boiler
with an eBUS interface and the Vaillant VR68/2 solar
module.
Solar module VR 68/2
The VR68/2 solar module integrates a solar heating system into the control concept of a VRC controller. In conjunction with a VRC controller , various solar heating
system configurations can be implemented and the solar
yield recorded. You can combine the VR68/2 solar module with a VR61/2 mixer module in a solar heating system.
VR 61/2 mixer module
The VR61/2 mixer module is a system component which
controls a cylinder charging circuit or circulation pump
in conjunction with a VRC controller.
You can use the VR 61/2 mixer module to control a solar
heating system for the heating of potable water in conjunction with a VRC controller and the VR68/2 solar module.

4.3.2 Control functions
Hot water temperature control
The hot water temperature in the top half of the cylinder
can be controlled in one of the following ways:
– Vaillant auroMATIC VRS 560/2 solar controller or
– using one of the Vaillant Control Centre‘s with the Vail-
lant dual-channel eBUS controller
– Vaillant VRC weather compensator with VR 61/2 mixer
module and VR68/2 solar module or
– using the cylinder thermostat in conjunction with a timer.
If you are using a controller by a third-party manufacturer, you use this controller to adjust the hot water
temperature. In this case, the Vaillant controller (e.g.
auroMATIC 560/2) acts only as a solar controller and
only controls the temperatures for solar water heating.
Solar circuit control system
The solar circuit can be controlled in one of the following ways:
VRS560/2
(connection wiring diagrams 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6,
¬section6.8)
The lower cylinder sensor (SP 2) and the solar yield
temperature sensor are connected up to the VRS 560/2.
The solar pump is controlled via the VRS560/2.
VRC with VR 68/2
(connection wiring diagram 5, ¬ section 6.8)
The lower cylinder sensor (SP 2) and the solar yield
temperature sensor are connected up to the VR68/2.

Temperature differences, not absolute temperature values, are important for the operation of solar heating
systems. For this reason, solar heating systems are controlled via temperature differential controllers.
Integrated temperature sensors record the temperature
difference between the collector and the cylinder.
If the temperature difference (Kol 1–SP2) is larger than
7K, the solar heating system's solar pump is switched on.
If the temperature difference (Kol 1–SP2) is smaller
than 3K, the solar heating system's solar pump is
switched off.

Description of the components 4
Primary heating circuit control system
The primary heating circuit can be controlled in one
of the following ways:
Vaillant dual-channel eBUS controller with Vaillant
Control Centre (connection wiring diagrams 1 and 2,
¬section 6.8)
Important:
Terminals NTC and CYL. of the Vaillant Control Centre
may not be connected at the same time.
– Option 1: The upper cylinder sensor NTC is connected to
terminal NTC of the Vaillant Control Centre.
The recharging of the cylinder is controlled via the eBUS
controller. Here, the cylinder temperature is measured
using the cylinder sensor NTC. The temperature is compared with the target value programmed in the eBUS
controller and the cylinder is reheated if necessary.
– Option 2: The cylinder thermostat is connected
up to terminal CYL. of the Vaillant Control Centre.
The recharging of the cylinder is triggered via the cylinder thermostat. If the actual value falls below the target
temperature set on the cylinder thermostat, the cylinder
thermostat is shut. The closing of the cylinder thermostat is registered by the Vaillant Control Centre and
passed onto the eBUS controller.
The eBUS controller releases the recharging of the
cylinder for the programmed primary heating times:
The primary heating device activates and the Vaillant
Control Centre switches the zone valves into the correct
position for the recharging of the cylinder.
The required zone valve position differs depending
on whether the S plan is being used:
– S plan: Valve CH closed, valve DHW open.
VRS560/2
(connection wiring diagrams 3 and 4, ¬section6.8)
The upper cylinder sensor is connected to the terminal
SP1 of the VRS560/2.
The output EP of the VRS 560/2 is connected to the
input CYL. of the Vaillant Control Centre.
The recharging of the cylinder is controlled via the
VRS 560/2. Here, the sensor SP1 measures the cylinder
temperature. The temperature is compared with the programmed target value in the VRS560/2.
Within the primary heating times programmed in the
VRS560/2, the contact EP is closed if the actual value
falls below the target temperature for the cylinder.
The closing of the contact EP is registered by the
Vaillant Control Centre and the recharging of the cylinder is triggered: The primary heating device activates
and the Vaillant Control Centre switches the zone valves
into the correct position for the recharging of the cylinder.
The required zone valve position differs depending
on whether the S plan is being used:
– S plan: Valve CH closed, valve DHW open.
Vaillant dual-channel eBUS controller with VR68/2
(connection wiring diagram 5, ¬section 6.8)
The upper cylinder sensor is connected to the terminal
SP1 of the VR68/2.
The recharging of the cylinder is controlled via the eBUS
controller, which is connected with the VR68/2 and
VR61/2 via eBUS. The zone valves are switched via the
VR61/2 (valve DHW open, heating circuit valve closed).
VRS560/2 in conjunction with non-eBUS-compatible
controllers (connection wiring diagram 6, ¬section6.8)
The upper cylinder sensor is connected to the terminal
SP1 of the VRS560/2.
The output EP of the VRS560/2 is connected to the
wiring of the S plan via the cylinder thermostat.
Important:
The target temperature on the cylinder thermostat must
be set to the maximum temperature!
The recharging of the cylinder is controlled via the
VRS 560/2. Here, the sensor SP1 measures the cylinder
temperature. The temperature is compared with the programmed target value in the VRS560/2.
Within the primary heating times programmed in the
VRS560/2, the contact EP is closed if the actual value
falls below the target temperature for the cylinder.
The switching signal is coupled into an S plan and the
recharging of the cylinder is triggered.
Room heating control
The room heating can be controlled in one of the following ways:
Vaillant dual-channel eBUS controller with Vaillant
Control Centre (connection wiring diagrams 1, 2, 3,
and 4, ¬section 6.8)
The room heating is controlled by the Vaillant
eBUS controller.
The actuation of the valves (S plan plan)
is controlled by the Vaillant Control Centre.
Vaillant dual-channel eBUS controller with VR61/2
(connection wiring diagram 5, ¬section 6.8)
The room heating is controlled by the Vaillant eBUS
controller.
The actuation of the valves (S plan plan) is controlled by
the VR61/2.
Programmable timer and room thermostat
(connection wiring diagram 6, ¬section6.8)
The room heating is controlled using a programmable
timer and a room thermostat.
The actuation of the valves (S plan) is realised
via the programmable timer and DHW timer.
