Instructions
Please read these instructions carefully before installing and com-
missioning this unit. The manufacturer accepts no liability for loss
or damage resulting from failure to comply with these instructions
for use. Read and follow these instructions carefully to prevent the
risk of physical injury and/or damage to property. Exceeding the
recommended operating parameters appreciably increases the risk
of personal injury and/or damage to property.
Installation, commissioning and maintenance must be carried out
by qualified and authorised personnel (both plumbing and electri-
cal work).
Once the system has been installed and is operating, there is normally
no need to alter the settings or other functions. The distribution
system unit is very reliable and easy to operate.
Heat source
The distribution system is primarily designed for connection to dis-
trict heating. Alternative energy sources can be used if the operating
conditions are equivalent to district heating at all times.
Application
The Danfoss stainless steel distribution systems are prefabricated
solutions for floor heating, which can be installed separately or be
implemented with the Danfoss flat station range, in connection with
a boiler or as an extension of an existing heating system.
Choise of materials
Only use materials that comply with local regulations.
Corrosion
The maximum chlorine content of the medium must not be higher
than 300 mg/l. The risk of corrosion increases considerably if the
recommended chlorine content is exceeded.
Storage
Before installation, the unit(s) must be stored in a dry, heated (i.e.
frostfree) room.
(Relative humidity max. 80% and storage temp. 5–70°C).
The units must not be stacked higher than the limit at the factory.
Units supplied in cardboard packaging must be lifted using the han-
dles incorporated in the packaging. Units must be placed on pallets
for transport/moving across large distances.
As far as possible, do not lift the unit by the pipes.
Retighten ALL pipe connections after transport/moving.
Disposal
Dispose of the packaging in accordance with the local regulations for
disposal of used packaging materials. The unit is made of materials
that cannot be disposed of together with household waste.
Close all energy sources and disconnect all connection pipes. Dis-
connect and dismantle the product for disposal in accordance with
the applicable local regulations for the disposal of the individual
components.
Connection
It must be possible to cut off all energy sources to the system – in-
cluding electrical connections – at all times.

Potential equalization/grounding
Potential equalization is an electrical equalizer connection to secure
against user contact with dangerous voltage, which may occur for
example between two piping systems. Potential equalization re-
duces corrosion in heat exchangers, water heaters, district heating
units and plumbing installations. Equalization of potentials should
be effected according to local regulations.
Warning! Hot surfaces
Parts of the unit may be very hot and can cause burn injuries.
Be very careful when you are in the immediate vicinity of the unit
Emergencies
In the event of fire, leaks or other hazards, immediately shut off all
sources of energy to the unit, if possible, and call for appropriate
assistance.
If the domestic hot water is discoloured or malodorous, shut off
all ball valves on the unit notify all users and call for professional
assistance without delay.
Warning about damage during transport
On reception of the unit, and before installing it, check for any evi-
dence of damage during transport.
The unit must be handled and moved with the greatest care and
attention.
NB! - Tightening of connections
Before filling the unit with water, ALL pipe connections MUST be
retightened, as vibrations during transport may have caused leaks.
Once the unit has been filled and the system is hot, ALL pipe connec-
tions MUST be retightened once more. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE
PIPE CONNECTIONS.
Handling
We recommend that you wear suitable safety footwear while
handling and installing the unit.
