Instructions for installation and use VX Solo HWS substations
4.0 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.
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.
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 6. For more detailed information about the substation,
see the sections concerning installation and commissioning.
Description
These instructions apply to substation type VX Solo HWS, which is
a district heating substation for indirect heating for single-family
houses, semi-detatched and terraced houses as well as ats. With
one heating circuit for radiator and/or oor heating and with connection pipes for domestic hot water cylinder on secondary side.
For wall-mounting.
The HE supply temperature is controlled by a self-acting temperature
controller Danfoss AVTB.
An immersion control thermostat of your choice choice, used to
control the water temperature in the hot water cylinder, must be
mounted on site.
As optional supply, Danfoss oers an immersion control thermostat
type ITC, which must be ordered separately and supplied loose together with the substation for mounting on site.
The ITC must be mounted in the 2/3 point of the DHW cylinder.
Warnings about high pressure and high temperature
The maximum supply temperature in the district heating network can be up to 110°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 and the storage cylinder, notify
all users and call for professional assistance without delay.
The VX Solo HWS is specicly prepared for connection of a TP9000
programmable room thermostat / DHW time controller, which allows
heating and DHW operation according to demand. The integrated
room thermostat will open/close the zone valve for heating operation and the DHW sensor in the cylinder or the DHW timer will open/
close the zone valve for DHW operation.
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 effect 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.
Irregularities
When reading the meters, check all joints and connections for leaks.
Check the troubleshooting section before contacting your professional provider.

5.0 Enduser instructions, Adjustment and Setting
Heating circuit, Dierential Pressure Controller
The dierential pressure controller (Fig. 1) reduces the high, uctuating pressure in the district heating network to a constant operating
pressure.
The TD200 dierential pressure controller is preset from factory and
should not be adjusted afterwards.
Heating circuit, Temperature control
Thermostatic control
The HE temperature is controlled by a self-acting temperature controller Danfoss AVTB (Fig. 2). The controller has a control valve, thermostatic
actuator and handle for temperature setting.
The thermostat will be set by the installer in connection with the commissioning, but it may be necessary to adjust it subsequently depending on the outdoor temperature.
Approximate thermostat scale settings:
1.0 = 35 °C
1.5 = 45 °C
2.0 = 55 °C
2.5 = 65 °C
3.0 = 75 °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 thermostat to regulate the room temperature.
Other variations with other types of thermostatic valves for control of
the heating circuit may occur.

Circulation pump, heating circuit
The VX Solo HWS substation comes standard with a Grundfos UPS
15-60 circulation pump, which can be operated at three dierent
speeds.
A supplier instructions manual is enclosed.
Other variations with other types of circulation pump may occur and
in such cases supplier’s installation instructions for the specic pump
will be enclosed.
Substation start-up / pump
Do not start up the pump until the system has been lled with the
ow media and vented.
At start-up the rotor can is to be vented by removing the plug in
the top of the motor.
Pump setting
3 speeds allow to set up the circulator pump in a way, that matches the system’s requirements, while wet rotor design allows it to be
virtually silent while operating.
It is recommended to set the pump at highest speed of rotation
(setting 3) before start-up. Then set the pump at lowest possible
speed of rotation (setting 1), in due consideration of the lectricity
consumption and the heating comfort. Factory setting of the selector switch is centre position (default). Select setting 2 and 3 only
if the pump setting does not meet actual system requirements
For further information please refer to the enclosed Grundfoss instructions.

11.0 Domestic hot water cylinder
Domestic hot water
The VX Solo HWS substation is supplied with connection pipes for
domestic hot water cylinder on the secondary side.
(Please note that cylinder control thermostat is to be ordered separately, - either type ITC, which can be supplied loose from Danfoss as
an option or any other compatible/applicable thermostat).
Option:
Immersion control thermostat
Danfoss oers an immersion control thermostat type ITC, which must
be ordered separately and then supplied loose with the substation
for mounting and wiring to the terminal box on site.
The thermostat has a 100 mm insertion lengt and is supplied with
a ½” BSP/100 mm pocket.
It has an adjustment range of 0 to 90 °C and has SPDT contacts.
Recommended setting is 60 °C.
Mounting of immersion control thermostat
1) Mount sensor pocket in cylinder.
2) Mount immersion thermostats in immersion pocket.
3) Wire the immersion thermostat cable in the terminal box

12.0 Maintenance
Maintenance work
Is only to be carried out by qualied and authorised personnel.
Inspection
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 – including the lter
on the controller, all pipe connections must be tightened and the safety
valve must be function tested by turning the lever.
Rinsing/cleaning of plate heat exchanger
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 cleane d by circulating a cleaning agent approved
by Danfoss (e.g. Kaloxi or Radiner Fl cleaning uid) through the
exchanger. Both these cleaning uids are 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 plate heat exchanger
Deposits of limescale may build up in plate heat exchangers for domestic
hot water on account of the large temperature uc tuations, 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 on the
drawing to the right. Brazed plate heat exchangers can withstand
rinsing with a dilute acid solution - e.g. 5% formic, acetic or phosphoric
acid).
Measures after maintenance work
After maintenance work and before commissioning:
– Check that all screwed connections are tight.
– Check that all safety features, covers, that were removed, have been
replaced properly.
– Clean the working area and remove any spilled materials.
– Clear all tools, materials and other equipment from the working area.
– Connect to energy supply and check for leaks.
– Vent the system.
– Carry out any necessary adjustment again.
– Make sure that all safety features on the device and the system work
properly.
Meter reading
The caretaker/owner must perform visual checking and reading of
the energy meter at short, regular intervals.
Service procedures must only be performed by trained, authorised
personnel.
NB! Excessive consumption for whatever reason is not covered by
the Danfoss warranty.
Cooling / Return temperature reading
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.

15.0 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 ove-rtightening or failure to retighten connections are not covered by the warranty.
