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.

3.3. 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.

4. Installation
Danfoss Link™ CC can be installed
with either a PSU (in-wall power
supply) or a NSU (net power sup-
ply).
!
Installing Danfoss Link™ CC with In-Wall PSU
UP
• Hold the PSU over the wall box and mark up the 4
screw holes.
Make sure the top is level.
• Drill holes and put tting plugs in.
• Connect the PSU according to the connection diagram
on the back side.
• Mount the PSU with the 4 screws.

Installing Danfoss Link™ CC with NSU
UP
• Hold the mounting plate on the wall and mark up
the 4 screw holes. Make sure the top is level.
• Drill holes and put tting 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 oered as an installation tool.
1. Slide o 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.
Danfoss Link™ CC will now start up. This takes approxi-
mately 30 seconds.
A battery pack (BSU) can be ordered on Danfoss code no. 014G0262.

4.9. Performing a network test
After nishing installation, perform a network test, to ensure that communica-
tion 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 nal position and ensure that all living connects® are out of mounting mode, see
instructions following the living connect®.
1. Turn o 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.

At the end of the network test the Danfoss Link™ CC awaits for all battery
operated devices to wake up and report. Follow the instructions given on the
screen. If the network test is running smoothly, there will be no need for further
interaction. If the network test is performing slow, the Danfoss Link™ CC guides
through troubleshooting and gives useful tips for speeding up the process.
