The sensoCOMFORT from Vaillant is a control for multi-zone heating systems. It has been designed to be simple to install and use, and operates with Vaillant's eBUS protocol. This ensures all components of the system can easily communicate with each other to provide optimum system performance. It's perfect for multi-zone gas-fuelled systems, and hybrid or renewable installations. Installation of the sensoCOMFORT has been designed to be as easy as possible, with guided commissioning that detects the eBUS components of the system automatically and proposes pre-defined settings. So, the installer is no longer required to manually input information on each part of the system, simplifying commissioning and saving time. The sensoCOMFORT comes with an outdoor sensor, providing weather compensation that automatically adjusts the flow rate from the boiler for ultimate efficiency. Load compensation comes as standard. With the ability to cascade up to seven boilers, the sensoCOMFORT is perfect for commercial applications.
This guide is for users of the Vaillant sensoCOMFORT Thermostat (VRC 720F) looking to understand and optimize their heating system. It simplifies multi-zone heating control for Vaillant boilers and heat pumps, offering weather compensation for improved efficiency. Keep in mind that while it offers advanced control, some features may require professional installation and setup.
