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.
