5. If accessories (electrical preheating, electrical afterheating, water heating surface or geo-

thermal surface) are present, the pin on terminals 5 and 6 must be removed (also see the

instructions included with the accessories).

Communication cable connections:

1

1. White/Orange, 2. Orange, 3. Black, 4. White/Blue, 5. Blue, 6. Black

Note! The communication cable can be extended up to 200 m. Use shielded cable , 22 or 24 AWG with 2 x twisted pair.

3 4

3.2

Wireless connection

When powering up the CCM module a green LED will flash slowly, indicating the CCM module has yet to be connected to the Air Dial. To connect the Air Dial, insert the batteries. The Air Dial will start up in installation mode to guide the installer through the set-up:
1. Set language. 2. Create network (press button on CCM module and then press `Air Dial'). 3. Set basic step (setting up the main air volume). 4. Finish.
Connection established: green LED on CCM module lights continuously. Connection failed: red LED on CCM module flashes slowly 5 times, see Troubleshooting.

3.3

Air Dial

The Air Dial has an integrated temperature sensor. To ensure best possible performance, place the Air Dial according to following guidelines:
 Place Air Dial 80-150 cm above floor.  Place Air Dial free of curtains etc.  Place Air Dial where the temperature is representative.  Do not place in bathrooms.  Do not place in direct sunlight.  Do not place onto outer wall.  Do not place directly above heat source.

Air Dial Link Test Before mounting the Air Dial permanently, a link test should be carried out to ensure that transmission conditions are sufficient for the required location:
1. Hold down the Air Dial button for 5 seconds. The Service menu appears in the display (disappears automatically after one hour). 2. Select the Link Test function. 3. The function tells you if transmission conditions are sufficient or not. 4. If the link test fails, see Troubleshooting.

Balancing of the main air volume

To achieve the best possible performance, it is vital to balance the main air volumes (balancing will also help protecting the house against fungus and dry rot). The system should not be balanced/commisioned at outdoor temperatures below -3°C, as the system will go into frost protection mode (indicated by a flashing icon on the display. If necessary to perform balancing at outdoor air temperatures below -3°C, remove power for 20 seconds to de-activate frost protection for 90 minutes.
1. Remove the front panel from unit by pulling the handles.
2. First close the valves, then open them completely (if the system is equipped with other duct types than Danfoss Air Flex, set supply and exhaust valves according to the instructions of the project manager).
3. If dampers are included in the system, open these completely.
4. Mount measuring tubes between the unit's measuring points on the exhaust side and differential pressure gauge.
5. Find the required flow on the system diagram (sticker on front cover) with the corresponding differential pressure value. If the pressure is too low, adjust the fan step upwards until you reach the required pressure.
6. Move the measuring tubes to the measuring points on the supply side and use the same procedure to set the supply air.
7. After the main air volumes have been adjusted, the set-up of individual valves needs to be carried out. In most cases, this will entail minor changes to the chosen basic steps, but this can be done in the room by adjusting the valves, or by using the Air Dial to fine tune basic steps.
Adjusting an operational system
1. Press Air Dial for 5 seconds to get access to the Service menu.
2. Press "set basic step" to activate the special commissioning mode (where all outside influences are blocked - the installer controls the exhaust and supply air fans completely with 1-100% fan speed). The Service menu remains visible for one hour and then disappears.

Dimensioning the Air Flex Duct System

When dimensioning Danfoss Air Flex, a few important guidelines must be followed:
 The combined pressure loss for fresh air intake + supply should not exceed 100Pa.  The combined pressure loss for extract + outlet should not exceed 100 Pa.  The min. pipe length is 5 m.  To obtain a flow per pipe  25 m³/h, the max. pipe length is 16 m. If the flow per pipe is 25-30 m³/h, the max. pipe length should not
exceed 13 m.  The difference between shortest and longest pipe connected to the same manifold should not exceed 10 m.

Note! Pressure loss values for the components can be found in the Danfoss Air Flex product catalogue.

7

Installing Air Flex Manifold

7.1

Positioning the manifold

If possible, the manifold should be positioned close to the Danfoss Air ventilation unit. Alternatively, determine the manifold position based on an assembly drawing (if available). An assembly drawing should only be considered to be a guide. If the manifold in the drawing is positioned inappropriate in relation to the construction or to other technical installations, the manifold should be moved.

The manifold can be mounted on a wall or in the ceiling or cast in concrete slabs, depending on what is most appropriate for routing.

7.2

Mounting the manifold

A silencer must be placed between ventilation unit and manifold - for supply as well as for extract (only supply is illustrated). The silencer should have the same diameter as the connecting pipe on the ventilation unit , and have a length of 900 mm.

Fasten the manifold using the two brackets mounted beneath the base. Turn the brackets and fasten them to the substrate. If it is not possible to use the mounting brackets, the manifold can be fastened with metal strapping. To prevent possible nuisance, place a soft material (e.g. 2-3 mm of floor underlay) between the metal strapping and manifold.

Close all unused spigots on the manifold with a plastic plug, type DEC-77 (item no. 089F0615).

7.3

Mounting the inspection hatch

Cut a hole with max. Ø150 mm in the manifold where the inspection hatch is wanted.

Place the inspection hatch, type DCH-150x150 (item no. 089F0643) over the hole and fasten the hatch with 4 self-tapping screws.

Installing Air Flex Supply Box

8.1

Placing the supply air box

The supply air box and grill should ideally be placed against a wall:
 beneath a window  beneath a radiator  beside a fireplace/stove
If possible, avoid placing the grill underneath furniture or in the occupied zone. If an assembly drawing is enclosed, use it for guidance in positioning the box and grill.

For wall mounting use a DPGW box, which is smaller and therefore fits in most inner walls. All physical dimensions of the DPGW box are listed in the Danfoss Air product catalogue. To fasten the grill and mount the damper, use exactly the same method as for floor mounting.

8.2

Mounting the supply air box in the floor

Place the supply air box in insulation material so that the distance to the top edge of the finished floor can be adjusted with the telescopic collar (collar can be extended by 100 mm).

Fasten the box with the two brackets mounted beneath the base. Turn the brackets and fasten them to the substrate.

Casting

The Flex pipe can be positioned across the insulating layer . However, to minimize heat loss it is

1

recommended to have minimum 100 mm insulation under the Flex pipe . Furthermore, we rec-

Min. 100 mm

ommend a minimum concrete thickness of 50 mm above the Flex pipe, but since this depends

on the concrete type and the general floor building, this should be clarified with the responsible

Lead the Flex pipe from underneath the insulation material. The recommended distance between the stand and insulation layer is 300 mm.

Place a piece of EPS over the Flex pipe ends before casting. Fasten to ensure that the position is maintained during casting. In this example, two pieces of soft steel are used for the fastening.
After casting, remove the fastened insulation material and mount the floor box.

To fasten the floor box, use the two pre-mounted brackets.

Installation Guide

Danfoss Air Units and Air Flex Duct Systems

Before post-casting around the box, raise the telescoping collar to a level just above the finished floor height. Tape the passage between the telescoping collar and the box itself. Tape a piece of insulation material in the box's opening.

Finally, fill the area around the box with insulation material and cast in place. When the concrete is dry, the telescoping collar can be loosened with a light blow and lowered down into the finished floor.

In some cases, it may be easier to fill all or part of the hole with light expanded clay aggregate mixed with concrete. This will help prevent the relatively small pieces of insulation material from floating on the concrete during casting.
When the finished floor is laid, pull out the box's adjustable insert and click the grill in place with four leaf springs. Place the grill in the insert and press it in place evenly on both sides.

If a damper is selected for the grill, mount it beneath the grill by using the pre-mounted clips.

Installing Wall and Ceiling Valves

9.1

Positioning wall and ceiling valves

The box and valves should be positioned in accordance with the room's function and design. The supply valve should preferably be positioned near a window, above a radiator or near a fireplace. Avoid positions directly over areas where people may be located for longer periods of time, i.e. above beds, sofas, dining tables, etc. The extract valve should be mounted in `wet' rooms, e.g. the kitchen, bathroom and utility room. If possible, the valve should be positioned where moisture develops, i.e. near showers, sinks, etc. If an assembly drawing is enclosed, it should be used as a guide for positioning the box and valve.

Note! Please be aware that there is a difference between supply and extract valves.

9.2

Mounting wall and ceiling valves

Mount the box so that the valve spigots are even with the finished wall/ceiling.

Push the valve in place in the box .

Installing Air Flex Pipes

10.1 Mounting Air Flex pipes in the floor
Cut a route for the pipes in the insulation material. The width of the route should be adjusted to ensure a secure installation of the pipe. If it is not possible to fit the pipes into furrows in the insulation material, they can be fastened to the Rionet. Maximum distance between the fastening points/strips is 50-70 cm.

To achieve the best possible seal of the system, mount an o-ring at each end of all pipes. Place the o-ring in the second groove from the end before mounting the pipe in a manifold, box or coupler.

The pipes can then be mounted in the manifold.

Installation Guide

Danfoss Air Units and Air Flex Duct Systems

When the pipe is in place, fasten it by folding at least two of the four cut-outs in with a screwdriver or similar.

To keep concrete, building dust and other material from soiling the pipes during mounting, close all unused spigots. If the system is not used immediately after installation, the pipes must be sealed to prevent the accumulation of moisture. The pipes can be sealed with a plastic plug, type DEC (089F0613), or by closing the valves/grills. To the extent possible, avoid making `sharp' bends on the pipe, as this will increase the system pressure loss. When all pipes are mounted, thoroughly clean the manifold via the connecting pipe.
10.2 Mounting Air Flex pipes in walls and ceilings
Wall mounting is recommended exclusively for internal partitions to prevent thermal bridges and penetrations of the climate shield. For ceiling mounting, it is also recommended to mount the pipes inside a climate shield. If this is not possible, the climate shield/damp-proof membrane must be thoroughly sealed with weather-resistant tape or specially developed membranes. For systems with geothermal surfaces, the supply pipe must be insulated with at least 30 mm of insulation material to prevent external condensation.
If the enclosed mounting brackets cannot be used, metal strapping can be used to fasten the boxes. It is important that the pipes are fully extended before fitting to minimise pressure loss in the system.

This is an example of six correctly laid Flex pipes beneath the ceiling on the inside of the climate shield. When fitting the ceiling, make sure that the screws are not damaging the pipes.
When all pipes are mounted, thoroughly clean the manifold via the connecting pipe

10.3 Coupling of two Air Flex pipes
If it is necessary to extend a pipe or connect two pipe ends, this can be done with a pipe coupling, type DPC (089F0607).

If a sharp 90° bend is needed, use a 90° elbow, type DFE (089F0654).

Place an o-ring in the second groove of both pipes that are to be connected.

Insulation and Sound Damping

The entire Danfoss Air Flex duct system must be thoroughly insulated to minimise heat loss and prevent condensation. Pipes are recommended to be covered with 100 mm of insulation. Sound-damping the system is important for general comfort and wellbeing. A silencer with a length of 900 mm should be mounted between the unit and the manifold to reduce noise from spreading through the system. In some cases, it might also be advisable to mount silencers at the outlet and air inlet ends.

12

Installing Roof Terminals and Wall Grills

Roof terminals and wall grills are visible on the outside of the house. They should therefore always be adapted to the architectural style of the house. It is recommended to place the terminals at least
 3 m horizontally apart, or  1 m vertically apart
always with the outlet terminal at the top. Terminals and grills should be placed on a north- or an east-facing surface for optimal comfort. The outlet should be placed above the top window and at least 1 m from all windows.

Troubleshooting

Error Alarm: Filter error Alarm: Battery low Alarm: No connection to CCM
Alarm: No connection via modbus Alarm: Room air too cold
Alarm: Fire
Alarm: Sensor error Abnormally large negative pressure inside the house, doors binding
Condensation in window frames
House temperatures are too high Noise from unit
Noise from Air valves
Frost icon in display

Cause Air filters are dirty. Battery voltage in Air Dial is too low. Communication between Air Dial and CCM module has failed, typically caused by an obstacle between Air Dial and CCM module, e.g. steel piping, other steel objects, insulation material clad with aluminum foil, etc. Another cause can be other wireless appliances that does not conform to wireless standards (radio noise).
Cable between CCM module and unit is unplugged or defective. Central heating system is not supplying heat. Room temperature is dropping, so the unit turn off to reduce involuntary heat loss. Alarm active if Air Dial measures a room temperature below +10°C.
One of four temperature sensors in Danfoss Air unit or temperature sensor in Air Dial remote control has detected a temperature higher than +70°C. Unit turns off until all sensors indicate < +70°C. Temperature sensor in Danfoss Air unit or Air Dial is defective. Discharge air flow is larger than supply air flow. Either balancing was not carried out correctly during set-up of the system or unit is in extreme defrost conditions (can occur at outdoor temperatures < -12°C).
Air exchange is too low. Condensation occurs when humidity is high and surface temperatures are low, typically in bathrooms or utility rooms, where clothes are drip drying (some condensation in bathrooms following a shower is normal, but should disappear within half an hour). House thermostats are set too high. Bypass is disabled on ventilation system. a-type unit: vibration noise may occur if unit is mounted directly onto joists. Unit should be mounted on a suitable platform. w-type unit: vibration noise may occur if rubber spacers are not fitted between unit and wall and/or if silicone strip is not fitted onto wall bracket. Defective fan bearings will produce a `grinding noise'.
Air flow is too high. Pressure is too high over valve. No silencer is fitted to main duct. The system is in defrost mode, because low outdoor temperatures entail a risk of ice forming in the heat exchanger.

Solution
Exchange air filters.
Replace batteries (4 x AAA) in Air Dial.
If an obstacle has been identified, move it. If this is not possible, move CCM module to a better location with a free `line of sight'. If the error occurs due to other wireless appliances in your house, try switching these off in turn to identify the faulty device. If none of the above helps, please contact your installer.
Check cable and reconnect if necessary. If cable is connected, but error still occurs - contact installer.
Check if heating system is functional. If the problem can not be solved, contact plumber/installer. When error has been remedied, shut down and restart ventilation system to resume normal operation. Power can be disconnected by pulling power cable from system.
Examine all rooms, leave the house. When error has been remedied, shut down and restart ventilation system to resume normal operation. Power can be disconnected by pulling power cable from system.
Contact installer. System continues to run, but with limited functionality.
Imbalance of flow should be 4-10% in favour of extract air, but if problems with doors binding is permanent, contact installer. If problems only arises during extreme winter condition, it is due to the integrated defrost function that reduces the supply air (hence not a defect, but an expected, and very rare occurrence).
Increase fan step (Manual mode) or change to Demand mode or Programme mode. Set Autoboost. on.
Turn down thermostats.
Enable Bypass in Main menu > Bypass > Auto bypass.
Check that unit is mounted on platform, according to installation manual.
Check that rubber spacers and silicone strip are fitted, according to installation manual.
If fan ball bearing is suspected to be defective, contact installer.
Noise is not a problem in a correctly sized and commissioned system. However, if air valves are closed (e.g. during cleaning), a hissing noise may occur.
This is not an error, but a standard mode. The function stops automatically when the outdoor temperature rises.
