Instructions for installation and use TD & S substations
6. Enduser instructions, General
Instructions
Please read these instructions carefully before installing and commissioning this substation. 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 qualied and authorised personnel (both plumbing and electrical work).
Once the station has been installed and is operating, there is nor-mally no need to alter the settings or other functions. The district
heating substation is very reliable and easy to operate.
If necessary, you can change the temperature settings as described
on page 8. For more detailed information about the substation,
see the sections concerning installation and commissioning.
Description
These instructions apply to two substation types (TD and S) – which
are both tted with an instantaneous water heater and designed for
direct connection to the district heating supply.
TD substations are tted with a dierential pressure controller that
maintains a constant pressure in the radiators. The supply temperature to the radiators is always identical to the district heating supply
temperature. The room temperature is adjusted solely using the
radiator thermostats.
S substations are tted with a dierential pressure controller that
maintains a constant pressure in the heating circuit(s). The supply
temperature to the oor heating is regulated using the thermostat
in the substation. S substations are also tted with a pump.
In rooms with oor heating, the temperature is regulated using the
oor heating thermostat for the room in question. In rooms with radiators, the temperature is regulated using the radiator thermostats.
Alternatively, the heating circuits can be regulated using fully automatic Danfoss ECL weather compensation equipment (not standard).
We recommend regular inspections of the substation - ideally in
connection with readings of the district heating meter.
Pay special attention to any leaks and an excessively high return
temperature in the district heating circuit (poor cooling of the district
heating water). Cooling – i.e. the dierence between the supply and
return temperature of the district heating water – has a signicant
eect on the overall energy economy. Therefore, it is important to
focus on the supply and return temperature in the heating system.
The dierence should typically be 30–35°C in systems that operate
with radiators. In systems that feature oor heating, the dierence
is typically 5–10°C. In these systems, it is important that the supply
temperature does not exceed 35°C.
Please note that a low district heating return temperature is directly
dependent on the return temperature from the heating/oor heating
circuit and the return temperature of the domestic hot water recirculation (in systems with domestic hot water recirculation). It is therefore
important to focus on these return temperatures.
Cooling from the water heater alone:
During tapping, the level of cooling will typically be 30–35°C. When
domestic hot water is not being tapped, it is completely normal for the
return temperature from the water heater to rise slightly. In this situation, the district heating meter will register very modest consumption
as the volume of water is very small.
On substations with recirculation, the calorie meter registers the heat
loss in the recirculation pipe.
Irregularities
When reading the meter, check all joints and connections for leaks.
If you identify any irregularities/leaks, contact your professional
provider for assistance.
Check the troubleshooting section before contacting your
professional provider.
Warning! Hot surfaces
Parts of the substation may be very hot and can cause burn injuries. Be very careful when you are in the immediate vicinity of
the unit.
Warnings about high pressure and high temperature
The maximum supply temperature in the district heating network can be up to 120°C and the operating pressure can be up
to 16 bar. This may result in a risk of scalding from touching the
substation and from outow of the medium (water/steam). Exceeding the substation design data and operating parameters for
pressure and temperature carries an appreciable risk of personal
injury and/or damage to property.
Emergencies
In the event of re, leaks or other hazards, immediately shut o
all sources of energy to the substation, if possible, and call for
appropriate assistance.
If the domestic hot water is discoloured or malodorous, shut o
all ball valves on the substation notify all users and call for professional assistance without delay.

Danfoss PM2+P controller (Fig. 1) for domestic hot water. Set the DHW
temperature by turning the adjuster lever towards red (hotter) or blue
(colder). Start by turning the lever clockwise – until the pin is opposite
the blue dot. Then turn the lever counter-clockwise until the tempera-
ture of the tap water is approx. 48°C during normal tapping ow (7–8
litres per min.). The temperature must never exceed 55°C to prevent
limescale deposits building up in the water heater.

pin
Danfoss PTC2+P controller (Fig. 2) for domestic hot water. Set the DHW
temperature by moving the adjuster lever towards “+” (hotter) or “-”
(colder).
Start by turning the lever clockwise – until it stops/until you cannot
turn it any further. Then turn the lever counter-clockwise until the
temperature of the tap water is approx. 48°C during normal tapping
ow (7–8 litres per min.). The temperature must never exceed 55°C to
prevent limescale deposits building up in the water heater.
Bypass or circulation thermostat
Thermostat (Fig. 3) that keeps the branch pipe warm in the summer
or regulates the circulation temperature if domestic hot water recirculation has been established in the hot water system.
The thermostat should initially be set to position 3.
Heating ciruit, Dierential Pressure Controller
The dierential pressure controller (Fig. 4) reduces the high, uctuating pressure in the district heating network to a constant operating
pressure over the unit. The dierential pressure controller is initially
set by the plumber in connection with the commissioning of the
substation. If disruptions to the operation occur: noise in the radiator
thermostats or poor regulation capacity, it may be necessary to reset
the dierential pressure controller to a lower operating pressure. We
suggest that you contact your local plumber for assistance.
Regulation of the supply temperature to the heating circuit
TD substations: The temperature cannot be regulated.
S substations: The supply temperature to the substation can be set by
adjusting the thermostat T°C (Fig. 5). The thermostat will be set by the
plumber in connection with the commissioning, but it may be necessary to adjust it subsequently depending on the outdoor temperature.
Indicative scale setting: (the scale is on top of the lever)
Pos. 4 ≈ 50°C
5 ≈ 60°C
6 ≈ 70°C
The setting values may vary depending on the operating conditions.
It is important to set the supply temperature to the radiators as low as
possible. Use the radiator thermostats to regulate the room temperature.
NB! For houses that are heated exclusively with oor heating.
The supply temperature should typically be set to approx. 30–35°C,
which corresponds to pos. 2–2.5 on the thermostat (guiding value).
The supply temperature must never exceed 40°C. (In addition, ALWAYS
refer to the instructions from the oor supplier)
Fig. 2
Fig. 3
Fig. 4
Fig. 5
or
Fig. 6
Alternatively, S substations can be controlled by an electronic control-
ler, Danfoss ECL (g. 6). See the enclosed documentation for same.
Pump (only on S substations)
S substations are factory tted with a pump (g. 7). The pump setting is
established in connection with the commissioning. Generally speaking,
this setting is not to be altered. If it should nevertheless be necessary to
change the pump setting, see the section concerning pumps in the installation and commissioning sections regarding the individual products.
In the summer, you can switch o the power to the pump at the mains
if you want to save electricity by not heating your home.
Start-up and venting – see the installation and commissioning sections,
if necessary.

8. Installation instructions, Safety and Handling
Instructions
Please read these instructions carefully before installing and commissioning 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 qualied and authorised personnel (both plumbing and electrical work).
Heat source
The substation is primarily designed for connection to district heating.
Alternative energy sources can be used if the operating conditions
are equivalent to district heating at all times.
Application
The substation is designed exclusively to heat water.
The substation must not be used to heat other media.
The substation is to be connected to the household piping in a frostfree room, where the temperature does not exceed 50°C, and where
the relative humidity is not higher than 80%. The substation must not
be covered, bricked in or otherwise cut o from access.
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.
Connection
It must be possible to cut o all energy sources to the unit –
including electrical connections – at all times.
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.
Warnings about high pressure and high temperature
The maximum supply temperature in the district heating network
can be up to 120°C and the operating pressure can be up to 16 bar.
This may result in a risk of scalding from touching the substation and
from outow of the medium. Exceeding the substation design data
and operating parameters for pressure and temperature carries an
appreciable risk of personal injury and/or damage to property.
Emergencies
In the event of re, leaks or other hazards, immediately shut o all
energy sources to the
assistance.
If the

Safety valve(s)
Safety valves must always be installed in accordance with the applicable local regulations.
Noise level
≤ 55 dB
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 (max.
8 layers). Units supplied in cardboard packaging must be lifted using
the handles 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. Lifting by the pipes
may cause leaks. REMEMBER to retighten.
Disposal
Dispose of the packaging in accordance with the local regulations
for disposal of used packaging materials.
The substation is made of materials that cannot be disposed of together
with household waste.
Close all energy sources and disconnect all connection pipes. Disconnect
and dismantle the product for disposal in accordance with the applicable local regulations for the disposal of the individual components.
NB! - Tightening of connections
Before lling the substation with water, ALL pipe connections
MUST be retightened, as vibrations during transport may have
caused leaks. Once the substation has been lled and the system
is hot, ALL pipe connections MUST be retightened once more.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE PIPE CONNECTIONS – see page 11,
“Test & connections”.
Handling
We recommend that you wear suitable safety footwear while

10. Installation instructions, general
The installation, connection and maintenance of the substation must
be performed by qualied and authorised personnel. Installation
must always be performed in accordance with the applicable legislation and in compliance with these instructions.
The substation must be installed so that it is freely accessible and
can be maintained without unnecessary disruption. Lift the substation by its mounting plate/rear section and secure it to a solid wall
using 2 sturdy bolts, screws or expansion bolts positioned in the two
keyholes in the mounting plate/rear section.
On Akva Vita II S substations, we recommend positioning of rubber spacers between the wall and the unit to prevent the transfer
of resonance noise from the pump into the wall.
Before commissioning, rinse all the pipes in the household piping system thoroughly to remove any impurities, and check and clean the dirt
strainers in the substation.
For fully insulated systems
The insulation front panel on the Akva Lux II / Les II TD and the Akva
Lux II / Les II S substations can be removed without using tools. Take
hold of the air duct in the top and bottom of the front insulation
section (see the photos to the right) and pull carefully forward until
the front insulation section releases from the rear section. Then pull
gently until the front section is free from the components.
Test and connections
Before lling the system with water, retighten all the pipe connections because vibrations and shocks during transport and handling
may have caused leaks. Once the system has been lled with water,
tighten all the pipe connections once more before performing pressure test for leaks. After heating of the system, check all the connections and retighten if necessary.
Please note that the connections may feature EPDM rubber gaskets!
Therefore, it is important that you DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN the
union nuts. Overtightening may result in leaks. Leaks caused by
overtightening or failure to retighten connections are not covered
by the warranty.
Heat meter, tting pieces
The unit is equipped with tting pieces for heat heating meter on the
district heating supply and return lines – dimensions 3/4” x 110 mm –
3/4 x 165 mm.
Fitting of heat meters
- Close the ball valves on the district heating and the heating sides
- Loosen the union nuts at both ends of the tting piece and
remove it
- Fit the meter – remember to insert gaskets
- Fit the temperature sensors in the sensor pockets (see the meter
instructions)
- Tighten the pipe connections before commissioning the meter.
Meter display (reading unit)
The meter’s reading unit can be positioned as shown in the photo
to the right, such that the meter reading can be made simply be
removing the top left-hand corner of the insulation cover.
Safety valve
Always lead the blow-o pipe from the safety valve to a drain in
accordance with applicable legislation.
Safety valve – cut-out in the insulation cover
On fully insulated models, it is necessary to cut a hole in the cover
(for the blow-out pipe from the safety valve) – see the photo to

Instructions for installation and use TD & S substations
If the household piping system features domestic hot water recirculation, the substation must be connected to the recirculation system.
The circulation set for recirculation connection is not standard equipment. The set must be purchased as extra equipment.
We recommend establishing recirculation BEFORE mounting
the substation on the wall.
Connect the recirculation pipe from the xed household piping
system to the hexagon nipple at the bottom of the substation (see
the bottom of the page for instructions about how to make the recirculation connection).
You must always t a pump and non-return valve to the circulation
pipe, with ow direction in towards the substation.
If a time-controlled pump is used, we recommend setting the circulation water temperature to approx. 35°C.
Please note that if the circulation pump (outside the substation) is
stopped for a protracted period, we recommend shutting o the
by-pass thermostat for the same period.
NB!
Please note that substations tted with Danfoss AVE expansion units
must not be used on systems with DHW recirculation.

Regulation of the hot water temperature
Danfoss PM2+P controller (Fig. 1) for domestic hot water. Set the
hot water temperature by turning the regulation lever towards red
(hotter) or blue (colder).
Start by turning the lever clockwise – until the pin is opposite the
blue dot. Then turn the lever counter-clockwise until the tempera-
ture of the tap water is approx. 48°C during normal tapping ow
(7–8 litres per min.). The temperature must never exceed 55°C to
prevent limescale deposits building up in the water heater. (NB! The
pin must be positioned between the blue and red dots, otherwise
the controller will shut down).
By-pass function (factory connection).
The Akva Vita II TD substations are supplied with the a Danfoss FJVR
bypass thermostat (Fig. 2), so that when water is tapped, the water
heater immediately starts to produce hot water. We re-commend
setting of the thermostat in pos. 3. If you have to wait a long time
(i.e. more than 20 sec.) for hot water, it may be necessary to position
the thermostat higher than pos. 3.
If you want to avoid waiting time altogether, you will need to set up
domestic hot water recirculation to the tapping points.

18. Operation and maintenance
Operation and maintenance
The caretaker/owner must perform visual checking and reading of
the district heating meter at short, regular intervals. (The meter is
not a part of the delivery from Danfoss).
Service procedures must only be performed by trained, authorised
personnel.
NB! Excessive consumption for whatever reason is not covered by
the Danfoss warranty.
Service
The substation should be checked regularly by authorised personnel. Any necessary maintenance must be performed in accordance
with the instructions in this manual and other sets of instructions.
During service the dirt strainers are to be cleaned (pos. 8 – including
the lter (F) on the controller, see the photo to the right), all pipe
connections must be tightened and the safety valve (pos. 5) must
be function tested by turning the lever.
Rinsing / Return rinsing
To clean the plate heat exchanger, rinse it by running clean water through
the exchanger at high speed and in the opposite direction to the normal
ow. This will remove any dirt deposits that may have built up in the
exchanger. If rinsing with clean water is not sucient, the exchanger
can also be cleaned by circulating a cleaning agent approved by Danfoss
(e.g. Kaloxi cleaning uid) through the exchanger. Kaloxi cleaning uid is
environmentally friendly and can be disposed o through the standard
sewer system. After use of a cleaning uid, the plate heat exchanger must
be rinsed thoroughly with clean water.
Acid cleaning of brazed plate heat exhanger
In principle, we do not recommend using acid cleaning of the plate
heat exchanger. Deposits of limescale may build up in plate heat exchangers for domestic hot water on account of the large temperature
uctuations, and because aerated water is used on the secondary
side. If it becomes necessary to clean the exchanger with acid, this
can be done as shown in the gure to the right. Brazed plate heat
exchangers can withstand rinsing with a dilute acid solution – e.g.
5% formic acid.
Measures after maintenance work
After maintenance work and before commissioning:
•Tighten all pipe connections
•Replace insulation covers on heat exchangers and other
insulated equipment
•Wipe down the substation and clean up any uid spills
•Clear all tools, materials and other equipment from the work area
•Switch on the energy supply and check for leakage
•Vent the system
•Carry out any necessary adjustments again.
•Check that pressure and temperature are at normal levels.
Cooling / Reading the return temperature
Cooling – i.e. the dierence between the supply and return temperature of the district heating water – has a signicant eect on overall
energy economy. Therefore, it is important to focus on the supply
and return temperature in the heating system. The dierence should
typically be 30–35°C. Please note that a low district heating return
temperature is directly related to the return temperature from the
heating circuit and the return temperature of the circulation water.
It is therefore important to focus on these return temperatures.
Cooling from the water heater alone:
During tapping, the level of cooling will typically be 30–35°C. When
hot water is not being tapped, it is completely normal for the return
temperature from the water heater to rise slightly. In this situation,
the district heating meter will register very modest consumption as
the volume of water is very small.
On water heaters with recirculation, the calorie meter registers the
heat loss in the circulation pipe.

22. Commissioning certicate
Commissioning certicate
The substation is the direct link between the district heating supply network and the household piping system. All supply pipes and the
pipes in the household piping system must be checked and rinsed before commissioning. Once the system has been lled with water, all
pipe connections must be retightened before performing pressure test for leaks. The dirt strainers must be cleaned and the substation
must be adjusted in accordance with the instructions in this manual.
It is important to comply with all technical regulations and the applicable legislation in every respect.
Installation and commissioning must only be performed by trained, authorised personnel.
The substation is checked in the factory for leaks before delivery. Leaks are however possible due to vibrations caused by transport, handling and heating of the system and therefore it is important to check all connections and to retighten if necessarys before commissioning.
Please note that the connections may feature EPDM gaskets! Therefore it is important that you DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN the connections.
Over-tightening may result in leaks. Leaks caused by overtightening or failure to retighten connections are not covered by the warranty.
To be lled-out by the installer.
This substation has been retightened, adjusted and commissioned
