Installation must be in compliance with local standards and regula-

tions.

Heat Source (HS) — In the following sections, HS refers to the heat source which sup-
plies the flat stations. A variety of energy sources, such as oil, gas or solar power, could 
be used as the primary supply to Danfoss flat stations. For the sake of simplicity, HS can 
be taken to mean the primary supply.

Installation

Mounting:

•  Adequate space

Please allow adequate space around the flat station for mounting and maintenance 
purposes.

•  Orientation

The station must be mounted so that components, keyholes and labels are placed 
correctly. If you wish to mount the station differently please contact your supplier.

•  Drillings

Where flat stations are to be wall-mounted, drillings are provided in the back mount-
ing plate.

•  Labelling

Each connection on the flat station is labelled.

Before installation:

•  Clean and rinse

Prior to installation, all flat station pipes and connections should be cleaned and 
rinsed.

•  Thightening

Due to vibration during transport, all flat station connections must be checked and 
tightened before installation. Check that all hairpins in click connections are com-
pletely pushed in.

•  Unused connections

Unused connections and shut-off valves must be sealed with a plug. Should the 
plugs require removal, this must only be done by an authorized service technician.

Installation:

•  Strainer

If a strainer is supplied with the station it must be fitted according to schematic 
diagram. Please note that the strainer may be supplied loose.

•  Connections

Connection to the household installation and district heating pipes connections 
must be made using threaded, flanged or welded connections. 
The internal connections of the flat station is made by click-fit connections.

Start-up

Start-up, Direct heating

The shut-off valves should be opened and the unit observed as it enters service. Visual 
checking should confirm temperatures, pressures, acceptable thermal expansion and 
absence of leakage. If the heat exchanger operates in accordance with design, it can 
be put to regular use.
After water has been added to the system and the system has been put into operation, 
re-tighten 

ALL

 connections. Check that all hairpins in click connections are completely 

pushed in.

Re-thighten connections

After water has been added to the system and the system has been put 
into operation, re-tighten 

ALL

 connections. Check that all hairpins in click 

connections are completely pushed in.

Start-up, Heating with mixing loop
Start-up:
1: Pump speed

Set the pump to its highest speed of rotation before start-up. On radiator systems, the 
selector switch is normally set in “Variable curve / Proportional curve” setting, in “max. 
pos.”. For floor heating systems, the selector switch is normally set in “Constant curve” 
setting, in “max. pos.”.

Re-thighten connections

After water has been added to the system and the system has been put 
into operation, re-tighten 

ALL

 connections. Check that all hairpins in click 

connections are completely pushed in.

2: Start pump

Start the pump and heat through the system.

Pump

The pump must be switched off during system fill.

3: Open shut-off valves

The shut-off valves should then be opened and the unit observed as it enters service. 
Visual checking should confirm temperatures, pressures, acceptable thermal expan-
sion and absence of leakage. If the system operates in accordance with design, it can 
be put to regular use, — always taking into account the conditions in the building.

4: Vent system

Switch off the pump and vent the installation after the system has been warmed up. 
Please note that some pump types feature a built-in venting function. For others the 
installation can be vented by using a vent valve in the flat station or on the radiators, 
or, if appropriate, the air valve at the highest point of the system — For additional 
information, please refers to the enclosed pump and manual.

5: Adjust pump speed

Set the pump to the lowest possible position, depending on the heating requirement 
for the building — taking into account aspects such as cooling and power consump-
tion. If the heating requirement increases the pump setting can be changed by means 
of the selector switch. Please refer to the enclosed instruction manual for detailed in-
formation about setting ranges. In the summer, you can switch off the power to the 
pump at the mains if you want to save electricity by not heating your home. It should 
be ensured that no inappropriate hydraulic situation will occur, when the power to 
your pump is turned off. For start-up and venting — see above and the enclosed pump 
manual.

Safety Notes

Authorized personnel only

Assembly, start-up and maintenance work must be performed by quali-
fied and authorized personnel only.

Please observe instructions carefully

To avoid injury to persons and damage to the device, it is absolutely nec-
essary to read and observe these instructions carefully.

Warning of high pressure and temperature

Be aware of the installation’s permissible system pressure and temperature.
The maximum temperature of the flow medium in the flat station is 95 °C.
The maximum operating pressure of the flat station is 10 bar.
The risk of persons being injured and equipment damaged increases 
considerably if the recommended permissible operating parameters are 
exceeded.
The flat station installation must be equipped with safety valves, however, 
always in accordance with local regulations.

Warning of hot surface

The flat station has got hot surfaces, which can cause skin burns.
Please be extremely cautious in close proximity to the flat station.
Power failure can result in the motor valves being stuck in open position. 
The surfaces of the flat station can get hot, which can cause skin burns.
The ball valves on district heating supply and return should be closed.

Warning of transport damage

Before flat station installation, please make sure that the flat station has 
not been damaged during transport.

IMPORTANT — Tightening of connections

Due to vibrations during transport all flange connections, screw joints 
and electrical clamp and screw connections must be checked and tight-
ened before water is added to the system. After water has been added to 
the system and the system has been put into operation, re-tighten 

ALL

 

connections. Check that all hairpins in click connections are completely 
pushed in.

Maintenance

The flat station requires little monitoring, apart from routine checks. It is recommend-
ed to read the energy meter at regular intervals, and to write down the meter readings.
Regular inspections of the flat station according to this Instruction are recommended, 
which should include:

Strainers

 — Cleaning of strainers.

Meters 

 

Checking of all operating parameters such as meter readings.

Temperatures 

— Checking of all temperatures, such as HS supply temperature and 

DHW temperature.

Connections 

— Checking all connections for leakages.

Safety valves 

— The operation of the safety valves should be checked by turning the 

valve head in the indicated direction.

Venting 

— Checking that the system is thoroughly vented.

Inspections should be carried out minimum every two years.
Spare parts can be ordered from Danfoss. Please ensure that any enquiry includes the 
flat station serial number.

— Please read the relevant parts of the safety notes.

230 V 

— The flat station must be connected to 230 V AC and earth.

Disconnection 

— The flat station must be electrically connected so that it can be dis-

connected for repairs.

Grounding / potential compensation 

 

The station should be connected to a 

grounding point on the right side of the station mounting rail.

Authorized electrician

Electrical connections must be made by an authorized electrician only.

Local standards.

Electrical connections must be made in accordance with current
regulations and local standards.

Troubleshooting in general

In the event of operating disturbances, the following basic features should be checked 
before carrying out actual troubleshooting:
•  the flat station is connected to electricity,
•  the strainer on the HS supply pipe is clean,
•  the supply temperature of the HS is at the normal level,
•  the differential pressure is equal to or higher than the normal (local) differential pres-

sure in the HS network — if in doubt, ask the HS plant supervisor.
