Installation
Control panel connections
The Vitocontrol-S, WB2 control panel houses a Viessmann Cascade Control for use with up to four Vitodens
200, WB2-44 or WB2-60 wall-mounted condensing boilers.
Power supply
The panel is powered by 120 VAC, 60 Hz from the wall receptacle.
Fuses
Once the power switch is turned to ON, voltage is supplied to fuses F1 and F2.
Fuse F1 (0.063 A slow blow) protects the transformer.
Fuse F2 (6.3 A slow blow) protects the pump output.
IMPORTANT
Fuses F1 and F2 are time delay type and
should not be replaced with any other type.
Pump connection
Provisions have been made for one system supply pump to terminate inside the control panel.
This output is rated to a maximum current of 6.3 FLA. A single 6.3 A fuse protects this pump output against
over-current condition of the pump.
Cascade control
Within the control panel, the Cascade Control is powered by a 120 VAC/12 VAC transformer. The maximum
power consumption is 4 VA.
Relays R1 and R2
Along with the Cascade Control, two internal control relays are powered by the 12 VAC transformer. Relay R1
controls the operation of the system supply pump. Relay R2 provides a dry contact alarm output for a compiled
failure alarm.

Control panel connections (continued)
The remaining sensor and communication connections are completed on the Cascade Control as follows:
HOutdoor temperature sensor
The outdoor temperature sensor is connected to terminals 1 and 2. See page 7 for installation details.

HExternal heat demand
A dry contact external heat demand can also be connected to the panel. This demand may be from an external control for pool, spa, snow melt or domestic hot water.
Refer to the Operating Instructions for information regarding this feature. The contact connection is made on
terminals 5 and 7.

The remaining connections are used for communication (KM-BUS) with the individual Vitodens 200 boilers.
HTerminals 9 and 10 on the Cascade Control are terminated in Vitodens number 1 on X5.3 and X5.4 plug
respectively.
HTerminals 11 and 12 on the Cascade Control are terminated in Vitodens number 2 on X5.3 and X5.4 plug
respectively.
HTerminals 13 and 14 on the Cascade Control are terminated in Vitodens number 3 on X5.3 and X5.4 plug
respectively.
HTerminals 15 and 16 on the Cascade Control are terminated in Vitodens number 4 on X5.3 and X5.4 plug
respectively.
Mounting requirements
The panel shall be securely mounted to a wall or support system.
Follow applicable local codes and/or requirements.
Do not mount panel under taps or in areas where the panel is at risk of water damage.

Outdoor temperature sensor
Mount outdoor temperature sensor
on the north or northwest outside
wall of the building. If the boiler is
intended to supply heat to the
south side of the building only (split
piping system), mount the sensor
on the south side.
Mount the sensor so that water
cannot infiltrate the sensor
housing.
Install sensor where it will not be
affected by heat sources such as
windows or ventilation openings.
The sensor should be installed far
enough above ground to prevent
accidental damage or tampering.
The outdoor sensor must not be
covered with mortar, stucco, paint
or any form of coating or siding. If
the outside wall is finished after the
sensor is installed, the sensor
should be removed and placed on
the finished wall.
1.Slide protective cover from sensor body.
2.Loosen the two slot-head screws
from main body and remove sensor cover.
3.Fasten sensor body to wall with
single screw through middle of
body.
4.Remove cone-shaped strain relief
from sensor cover.
5.Cut wide end of cone to allow
wire/cable to be inserted into
sensor body. Size cone by
pushing wire/cable into wide end
of cone. Cut cone at the spot
where wire stops.
6.Remove wire/cable from cone
and reinsert into narrow end.
7.Push wire into body of sensor
and connect to screw terminals.
To make the electrical connection,
use a 2-wire cable with a maximum
lengthof115ft./35mandwitha
minimum wire size of AWG 16
copper.
8.Secure wire in place with
supplied strain relief.
Re-attach sensor cover, tighten
screws and slide protective cover
into place.
WARNING
When extending wire, there is the
possibility of exposure to
electromagnetic interference.
Avoid running wires beside or near
high voltage 120/240 VAC
conductors. If proximity to high
voltage conductors cannot be
avoided, use stranded, twisted pair
or shield design wire. Ensure that
only one end of the shielding is
grounded.

pipe (before flange) as close to
low-loss header as possible.
2.Hook tension spring to one side
of the sensor tab.
3.While holding sensor on pipe,
bring tension spring around pipe
and hook spring to second sensor tab. Ensure that sensor has
compressed into sensor housing.
4.The sensor is supplied with
approximately 6 ft./2 m of cable.
If required connect extension
wire (16 AWG) from sensor to
the panel of the Vitocontrol.
