Instructions for installation and use VX Solo II 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.
For more detailed information about the substation, see the sections concerning installation and commissioning.
Description
These instructions apply to substation types VX Solo II, which are district heating substations for indirect heating for single-family houses,
semi-detatched and terraced houses as well as ats. With one or two
heating circuits for radiator and/or oor heating and with connection pipes for domestic hot water cylinder on primary or secondary
side. For wall-mounting and with variable connection possibilities.
The HE supply temperature is controlled either by a self-acting thermostat T°C 200 or by a Danfoss ECL controller in combination with an
electronic actuator. The ECL controller acts as the brain of the heating
system. It lets you easily control and optimise system performance
and 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. 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.
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 and the storage cylinder, notify
all users and call for professional assistance without delay.
Irregularities
When reading the meters, 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.

DKDHR VI.GP.P2.02 Danfoss District Energy
Instructions for installation and use VX Solo II substations
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 AVPL dierential pressure controller is initially set by the plumb-
er 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 or higher operating pressure. We suggest that you contact your local plumber for assistance.
The TD200 dierential pressure controller is preset from factory and
should not be adjusted afterwards.
The AVPB-F dierential pressure controller is preset from factory and
should not be adjusted afterwards. The controller has a control valve
with adjustable ow restrictor and ow setting is being done by the
adjustment of the ow restrictor position. We suggest that you contact your local plumber for assistance.
Heating circuit, Temperature control
Thermostatic control
The supply temperature to the substation can be set by adjusting
the thermostat TC (Fig. 2), which controls the temperature for the
heating circuit.
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.
Please note that a label on the TC thermostat will indicate the temperature
range.
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
or
TD200AVPL
or
AVPB-F
NB! For houses that are heated exclusively with oor heating.
The supply temperature should typically be set to approx. 30–35°C.
ALWAYS refer to the instructions from the oor supplier.
Other variations with other types of thermostatic valves for control of
the heating circuit may occur.
Electronic control
The temperature for the heating circuit can be controlled electronically by either a Danfoss ECL 210 or a Danfoss ECL 310 controller (Fig.
3). The supply temperature ist calculated by the controller on basis
of the outdoor temperature.
See the enclosed documentation for same.
Pump.
VX S olo II substations are factory tted with pump(s) (Fig. 4). 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.

Instructions for installation and use VX Solo II substations
6.0 Installation instructions, Safety and Handling
Instructions
Please read these instructions carefully before installing and comissioning 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 persons and property. Exceeding the recommended operating parameters considerably increases the risk of
personal injury and/or damage to property.
Installation, commissioning and maintenance must be carried out by
qualied and authorized personnel in compliance with the local safety
regulations.
Once the station has been installed and is operating, there is normally
no need to alter the settings or other functions. The district heating
substation is very reliable and easy to operate.
Connection
It must be possible to cut o all energy sources to the unit - including 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 reduces corrosion in heat exchangers, water heaters, district heating
units and plumbing installations. Equalization of potentials should
be eected according to local regulations.
Energy 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 only to heat water and other heating media
may not be used.
The substation is to be connected to the household piping in a frost-free
room, where the temperature does not exceed 50 °C and the relative
humidity is not higher than 80%. The substation must no be covered,
bricked in or otherwise cut o from access.
Choise of materials
Only use materials, that comply with local regulations.
Corrosion
The maximum chloride compounds of the medium must not be higher
than 300 mg/l. The risk of corrosion increases considerably if the recommended chloride content is exceeded.
Safety valve(s)
Installation of safety valve(s) must always be in compliance with local
regulations.
Noise level.
≤ 55 dB.
Storage
Before installation, the units must be stored in a dry, heated (i.e. frostfree) room.
(Relative humidity max. 80% and storage temperature 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 substation by the pipes. Lifting by the
pipes may cause leaks. REMEMBER to retighten.
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
substation.
Warning of 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 immediately.
Warning of damage during transport
On reception of the substation, and before installing it, check for
any evidence of damage during transport.
The substation must be handled and moved with the greatest care
and attention.
NB! - Tightening of connections
Before mounting of the substation, ALL pipe connections MUST
be retightened, as vibrations during transport may have caused
leaks. Once the substation has been put into operation ALL pipe
connections MUST be pressure tested for leaks and retightened
once more if necessary.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE PIPE CONNECTIONS – see page 19,
“Test & connections” for more information.
Disposal
Dispose of the packaging in accordance with the local regulations for
disposal of used packaging materials.

Instructions for installation and use VX Solo II substations
8.0 Description of VX Solo II
VX Solo II are district heating substations for indirect heating for
single-family houses, semi-detatched and terraced houses as well
as ats. With one or two heating circuits for radiator and/or oor
heating and with connection pipes for domestic hot water cylinder
on primary or secondary side.
As standard the substations are supplied with tting piece(s) for
mounting of heat meter(s).
The VX Solo II substations are available in various variants, - please
see photos to the right.
The supply temperature to the heating circuit can be regulated by
a self-acting thermostatic valve (type VX Solo II (T°C). 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, - a Danfoss
ECL controller in combination with electronic actuator(s). The ECL
controller acts as the brain of the heating system. It lets you easily
control and optimise system performance and operation.

9.0 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 and secure it to a solid wall using 2 expansion
bolts or the like positioned in the two keyholes in the mounting plate.
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.
Connect the substation to the household piping in accordance with
the labelling at the bottom and/or in accordance with the instructions in this manual.
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 feature EPDM rubber gaskets!
Therefore, it is important that you DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN the union
nuts. Over-tightening may result in leaks. Leaks caused by over-
tightening or failure to retighten connections are not covered by
the warranty.
Variable connections possibilities
The substations oer variable connection possibilities, as connection of pipes can be established in the top or in the bottom of the
substation. Upon delivery the substation is prepared for connection
in bottom of the substation.
For change of connection from bottom to top, demount plugs on
connection pipes in top of substation and ball valves on connection
pipes in bottom of substation, and mount plugs in connection pipes
in bottom of substation and ball valves on connection pipes in top
of substation.
Please note that the air screw, which originally is mounted on the
heating supply pipe in top of substation must be relocated to the
highest point of the substation.
PLEASE NOTE that the variable connection possibilities makes it
possible to establish some of the connections in the top and others
in the bottom of the substation. This may be desirable in some cases.

10.0 Adjustment and commissioning, lling the system and dierential pressure controller
General information
PLEASE NOTE! Some models may have a slightly dierent appearance,
but the control function is in principle the same as described below.
Commissioning
Commission the unit in accordance with the instructions on pages
17-21.
Filling the system
Filling of water to the heating system must be done through connection to an exterior cold water supply.
Check and tighten all connections before adding water to the system,
as vibrations during transport may have caused leaks. After having
added water to the system, tighten all the connections before performing leak test.
Then heat up the system, check the connections and tighten once
again if necessary.
Before adding water to the system and rst start-up, check if:
- pipes are connected according to the circuit diagram,
- expansion vessel is connected,
- heat meter is mounted,
- shut-o valves are closed,
- threaded and anged connections are tightened.
Filling - (Note, by means of exterior cold water supply):
If the pressure drops below 1 bar, water must be added to the system.
The operating pressure should never exceed 1.5 bar.
(The safety valve opens at 3 bar)
1. Pump must be switched o when water is added to the system.
2. Fill heat exchanger and system with water until the manometer
shows a working pressure, which corresponds to the system
height + 5 m (approx. 1.5 - 2.0 bar)
3. Vent the system completely.
4. Start the pump.
5. For substations, which include zone valve, remember to remove
the red split on the position indicator of the zone valve.
If system pressure drops dramatically within a short time, heating
system should be examined for leakage, - this includes checking
the factory set pressure of the expansion vessel.
Dierential pressure controller
(Standard on systems with self-acting thermostatic valve).
The dierential pressure controller reduces the uctuating pressure
in the district heating network to a small and invariable operating
pressure in the substation.
The required room temperature is controlled on your radiator thermostats.
Dierential pressure controller AVPL
AVPL is a self-acting dierential pressure controller for PN 16 with
adjustable dierential pressure setting and the dierential pressure
controller can be set at any dierential pressure between 5 kPa and
25 kPa (0.05 bar and 0.25 bar).
The preset factory setting of the controller is 10 kPa (0.1 bar).
The dierential pressure can be set by means of an Allen key NV 3. 1
turn corresponds with 1 kPa (0.01 bar).
The controller settings can be changed in accordance with the enclosed producer instructions:
Instructions for installation and use VX Solo II substations
Dierential pressure controller TD200
This type of dierential pressure controller is preset from factory and
should not be adjusted afterwards.
Dierential pressure controller AVPB-F
The self-acting dierential pressure controller AVPB-F with ow
limitation reduces the uctuating pressure in the district heating
network to a small and invariable operating pressure in the substation and thereby ensures the best possible operating conditions.
The control valve opens on falling dierential pressure to maintain
constant dierential pressure, and closes on rising dierential pressure or when set max. ow is exceeded.
The dierential pressure controller is preset from factory and should not be adjusted afterwards.
The controller has a control valve with adjustable ow restrictor and
ow setting is being done by the adjustment of the ow restrictor
position.
The controller is equipped with excess pressure safety valve, which
protects the actuator from too high dierential pressure.
Please see enclosed instructions,

INSTRUCTIONS
11.0 Adjustment and commissioning, heating circuit
The temperature for the heating circuit can be controlled by a
thermostatic valve T°C 200.
Please note that the values are intended as a guide and may vary
according to the district heating operating conditions.
Approximate supply temperatures at:
10 °C outdoor temperature approx. 40°C
0 °C outdoor temperature approx. 55°C
-10 °C outdoor temperature approx. 65°C
It is important to keep the supply temperature to the radiators as low
as possible (the temperature is indicated by thermometer mounted
in HE return). The room temperature is controlled by radiator thermostats.
Floor heating (substation with heat exchanger for oor heating).
It is important to keep the supply temperature to the oor heating
system as low as possible, approx. 30-35° (the temperature is indicated by thermometer mounted in HE supply),
The T°C is typically set in pos. 2-2.5 (intended as a guide). The supply
temperature should not exceed 40°C (ALWAYS refer to the instructions of the oor supplier).
Please note that a label on the TC thermostat will indicate the temperature
range.
Zone valve / thermal actuator TWA-A (option)
The thermostatically controlled VX Solo II can as option be equipped
with zone valve/thermal actuator TWA-V, which enables connection
to an electronic programmable room thermostat.
The thermal actuator of the zone valve is switched on by an external contact from the room thermostat, and starts to open or close
the valve. The actuating movement is achieved by means of an
electrically heated expansion element. When the heating current is
switched o, the actuator shuts or opens the valve.
The actuator is equipped with a visual position indicator to show
the open or closed position of the valve.
Heating operation is then activated by the programmable room thermostat in connection with a zone valve /thermal actuator TWA-A.
Electronic programmable room thermostat (option)
If the substation is connected to a room thermostat the temperature is controlled by the room thermostat and radiator thermostats.
Please note that the room thermostat keeps the temperature at a
constant level in the whole apartment according to the set room
parameters.
Consult additional maintenance instructions for room thermostat
for further information. It is recommended to avoid fully opened
thermostats on some radiators and fully shut-o on others. Higher
temperature at the top and lower temperature at the bottom part
of radiators means that the system operation is correct.

Enclosed photo shows the recommended and alternative pump settings for system types.
The pump is set at the factory to the “Higest proportional-pressure
curve” (PP2). In this control mode, the pump performance and consequently the power consumption are adjusted according to the
heat demand in the system.
If the recommended pump setting does not give the desired distribution of heat in the rooms of the house, change the pump setting
to the shown alternative.
For further infomation about pump settings please refer to the enclosed Grundfos instructions.

Installation and operating instructions
Summer operation
Substations with Danfoss T°C Thermostat
In the summer, you can stop the pump by switching it o at the mains.
However, remember to start the pump (briey) at least once a month
during the summer.
Systems with Danfoss ECL
Outside the heating period, the pump will be disconnected automatically from the heating system. During the summer period, the
controller will start the pump for a minute at least once very three
days to prevent the pump from blocking.
Start-up after summer operation - venting
Please note that it may be necessary to vent the system again. To
vent the system, use the air vent, if any, in the substation, or the
radiators or, if appropriate, the air valve at the highest point of the
system.

Summer operation
Substation with T°C thermostat:
In periods without heating demand the pump can be switched of on
the switch and the shut-o valve/”summer valve” S in top of the station can be closed during this period. Switch on the pump (for a short
period) at least once per month.
For start-up follow the above start-up instructions. It is recommendable to vent the system after the summer period again.
Substation with Danfoss ECL:
The circulation pump for heating is automatically switched o in
periods without heat demand. To prevent the pump from blocking in periods without heat demand, the controller automatically
switcheson the pump for some minutes every third day. In this period
the circulation pump should be set at the highest speed of rotation.
If the heating requirement increases the pump setting can be changed
by means of the selector switch.

15.0 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 limesc ale 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 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.
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.

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.
