What is this system?
One or more temperature sensors, combined with a temperature controller and relay modules results in a powerful heating, cooling and temperature con-
trol system. The different sensors can be monitored, operated and time controlled from one or more remote locations by means of our temperature control-
ler. PC controlling and monitoring is also possible (see option below).
What can I do with this system?
 Monitor the temperature from each room or sensor
 Preset an anti freeze (Off) / Night / Day / Comfort- temperature for each sensor
 Give each sensor a name, to display on the temperature controller(s) or PC
 Manually change the temperature in each room
 Create temperature “zones” (upstairs, downstairs … ) for ease of global operation
 Check the temperature history (min / max and heating time) for each room or sensor
 Set a temperature alarm (too high and too low) for each sensor
 Set a “wake up” and “go to bed” time alarm
 Activate relay contacts for: heating / pump / air-conditioning / quick heating fan / temperature alarm / time alarm
 Switch between Off / Night / Day / Comfort- presets by means of:
- A local button on each sensor or any push button in your Velbus system
- Several week/day program steps for each sensor or zone
- An (adjustable) sleep timer on each sensor or push button in your system
- The “wake up” and “go to bed“ alarm time for each sensor or zone

do you need? do you need?
A basic application requires one sensor. For optimum comfort you require a sensor in each
room (a max. of 32 sensors can be used)
Hint: Install extra sensors at locations such as garage, cellar, attic, fuse box, near the plumb-
ing system, for monitoring and alarm purposes (e.g. frost alarm)
Note that these sensors are actually complete small thermostats, that can directly drive Velbus relays, all settings are stored “inside”
the non volatile sensor memory
At least 1 controller for configuration, monitoring and programming(*)
Hint: A second controller (eg in master bedroom) could come in handy.
The timer-program is automatically synchronised between the controllers.
* If “time” programming is not required, then it is also possible to configure and monitor the sensors using a PC (see “optional” below)

Several switching options are possible, select one or more out of these possibilities.
Except for monitoring, you will need at least 1 contact:

For Each room radiator valve or each room electrical heating

Switch your central heating system in day or night mode

To turn on/off your central air-conditioning system

To drive the circulation pump of your central heating system
 To drive an extra ventilator to speed up (boost) a large temperature difference

To light an indicator in case of temperature alarm (separate high or low alarm is possible)
*Note: a 1 channel type VMB1RY with NO/NC contact is also available

All modules can be configured manually, but for ease of configuration or temperature monitor-
ing, you might consider using your PC*.
Choose between USB or RS232 interfaces,
