2. Introduction

Danfoss Link™ is a programmable, wireless control

system for heating systems in residential buildings

(up to approximately 300 m2).

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

conguration 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 sucient for most applications, however, wireless signals

are weakened on the way from the Danfoss Link™ CC to the room devices and

each building has dierent 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 oors weaken the signal strength signicantly,

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 reecting

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

Danfoss units

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 oors 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 inuence on wireless

communication.
