Vaillant VR65 with eBus and system boiler - hot water works but heating doesn't
Hi,
I've just installed a Vaillant EcoTech Pro 630 (system boiler with two zone valves and a vented HW tank) and have added a second-hand Vaillant VR65 wiring centre as I read on here that this is the way to make the V3 Extension Kit talk to the boiler via eBus.
Has anyone done this successfully and can you tell me how you wired it up please?
I've got the two eBus wires going from the Tado EK to the VR65 and then from there to the eBus connector on the boiler. I have removed the old 240V connection from the EK.
The two zone valves are wired into the VR65 using only live/neutral/earth and without the orange/grey wires that go to the zone valve microswitches. This is as per the wiring diagram for the VR65 (see attached image).
The HW stat is also connected to the VR65.
I have followed the Tado instructions to apply the Vaillant D07 eBus config to via the smart room stat.
When Tado calls for hot water, the boiler fires up as expected.
However, when there is a call for CH, nothing happens.
The only way I can get the CH to run is to apply a jumper link across the RT 24V pins shown in the attached photo of the boiler circuit board, or if I put a 240V live onto the lilac-coloured RT connector. But then the CH runs continuously and doesn't turn off when Tado tells it to.
Several people claim to have got Tado working with Vaillant system boilers over eBus using the VR65 unit, so any ideas on how to do it would be much appreciated please.
