2. Introduction

Danfoss Link™ is a programmable, wireless control system for heating systems in residential buildings

(up to approximately 300 m 2 ).

The central controlling unit is the Danfoss Link™ CC equipped with a colour touch screen, from which the entire installation can be controlled.

This installation guide contains all information about the Danfoss Link™ CC and how to get started. It guides through recommendations and considerations that must be taken into account when handling a wireless system - and it describes configuration of the system, to ensure a smooth

and reliable system set-up.

!

Individual instructions, supplied with the service and room devices, contain information about connecting the respective device to the network. The instruction will also state if the device is considered a service or a room device.



3. Guidelines for installation

The signal strength is sufficient for most applications, however, wireless signals are weakened on the way from the Danfoss Link™ CC to the room devices and each building has different obstacles.

Ensure the best performance by keeping the following in mind for planning and installation:

• Max. 30m between devices in free space.

• Receiving devices should be placed on opposite or next wall as the transmit- ter, if possible.

• All metallic parts in the building construction can weaken wireless signals.

• Reinforced concrete walls and floors weaken the signal strength significantly, but almost all types of construction materials reduce the signal to some

degree.

• Corners, which is a result of the design of the building, can weaken the wireless signals, due to either a longer distance or missing reflecting

opportunities.

Note! To get a good overview of the devices in each rooms, and their placement,

Danfoss recommends that an installation plan is made before beginning the actual installation.



3.1. Correct installation plan

No metal objects between the Danfoss Link™ CC and other wireless units

The Danfoss Link™ CC is installed as central as possible on the floor plan

(max. 30m between devices in free space)

3.3. How and when to use repeater units

What is the purpose of a repeater unit ?

A repeater unit strengthens the wireless signal, when a satisfying connection can not be etablished between the Danfoss Link™ CC and other wireless Danfoss units.

When is a repeater unit needed ?

1. Complete the installation and perform a network test (see 4.9). If one or more devices fail, include a repeater unit (CF-RU) in the network, between the

Danfoss Link™ CC and the device(s) that fail.

2. Alternatively, plan ahead. If “yes” is answered to one or more of the following questions, Danfoss recommends to include a repeater unit at the beginning of the installation (see 3.4):

• Is internal walls or deck construction between floors made of steel rein-

forced concrete?

• Is the distance between Danfoss Link™ CC and last device more than 20m

and signal must pass more than 2 heavy walls (stone or non-reinforced

concrete)?

• Is the distance between Danfoss Link™ CC and last device more than 25m

and signal must pass more than 2 light walls (gipsum/wood)?

• Is the distance more than 30m in free line of sight?

A repeater unit (CF-RU) can be ordered on Danfoss code no. 088U0230.

Note!

These are guidelines only, as many factors have influence on wireless communication.

4. Installation

Danfoss Link™ CC can be installed with either a PSU (in-wall power supply) or a NSU (net power supply).

!

Do not install in bathrooms

Avoid direct sunlight to Danfoss

Link™ CC

Install in height of

140-170 cm

Installing Danfoss Link™ CC with In-Wall PSU

• Hold the PSU over the wall box and mark up the 4 screw holes.

Make sure the top is level.

• Drill holes and put fitting plugs in.

• Connect the PSU according to the connection diagram on the back side.

UP

PSU



Installing Danfoss Link™ CC with NSU

• Hold the mounting plate on the wall and mark up the 4 screw holes. Make sure the top is level.

• Drill holes and put fitting plugs in.

• Mount the mounting plate with the 4 screws.

Do not mount the Danfoss Link ™ CC yet!

• Connect the NSU to a power outlet.

4.1. Adding devices to the system

When adding devices to the Danfoss Link™ system, the distance between the

Danfoss Link™ CC and the device must not exceed 1.5m. To accomplish this

Danfoss Link™ Battery Supply Unit (BSU) is offered as an installation tool.

1. Slide off the lid and add batteries.

2. Slide the lid back on and attach the Danfoss

Link™ BSU battery pack onto the back of the

Danfoss Link™ CC. When ready to do the com- missioning, turn the switch located on the

Danfoss Link™ BSU to the ON position.

• Remove the front cover of the Danfoss Link™ CC by gently pulling it off, pull near the edges of the cover.

• Press the SETUP pin for 3 seconds to enter the service



4.4. Mounting mains powered devices

Power-up all mains powered devices first, and any repeater units that might be needed.

Note!

• If Danfoss Link™ HC is used, connect all actuators (TWA), before mains powering the unit.

• ON/OFF relays are only visible in the end-user menu.

1 st • Pair devices to Danfoss Link™ CC.

• Start with the device closest to the Danfoss

Link™ CC, and move outwards.

4.5. Adding service devices

Always add dedicated repeater units first!

!

Danfoss Link™ CC supports many different types of service devices which functions as both simple ON/OFF devices for other electrically equipment, repeater units and controllers for hydronic systems, and other sub-systems.

4.9. Performing a network test

After finishing installation, perform a network test, to ensure that communication between all added devices and the Danfoss Link™ CC is stable.

Note! Do not perform the network test before the Danfoss Link™ CC is mounted in its final position and ensure that all living connects® are out of mounting mode, see instructions following the living connect®.

1. Turn off the battery pack.

2. Slide the Danfoss Link™ CC onto the previously installed mounting plate.

3. The Danfoss Link™ CC will now power-up.

4. Remove the front cover and press the SETUP pin for 3 seconds to enter the service area.

If there is uncertainty about the network performance, it is recommended to perform a network test before the installation is completed entirely.

• Forecasting method: by activation of the forecast method, the system will automatically predict the heating start-up time necessary to reach the desired room temperature at desired time (all heat emitter types).

• Maximum floor temperature: the default setting is 35 °C (electrical floor heating).

• Regulation type: only in connection with electrical heating systems.

Note! Use pincode [0044] to change between the following regulation types:

Room sensor (regulates only by room temperature) - if only Danfoss Link™ RS is fitted (hydronic floor heating) or Danfoss Link™ RS + Danfoss Link™ FT (electrical heating).

Floor sensor (regulates only by floor temperature ) - if only Danfoss Link™ FT/S is fitted.

Combined room/floor (ensures min. floor temperature and regulates room temperature in parallel) - Danfoss Link™ RS + Danfoss Link™ FT/S is fitted.

In case of hydronic floor heating, be aware if a certain max. floor temperature is given by the floor manufacturer. This can be assured by fitting a thermostatically controlled mixing shunt.



5.3. Removing a room or service device from the network

Devices can be removed from the network by pressing and holding a button while switching the power on/off (see illustrations). Press the button for approx.

5 seconds after reconnecting the power.
