What Happens When I Open A Window To Ventilate The Room? - Danfoss Link User Manual

Radiator thermostat

What happens when I open a window to ventilate the room?

The living connect® thermostats are capable of
sensing when you open a window, provided
that a couple of requirements are met (see
next section).
When the thermostat senses that a window
has been opened, it will automatically shut off
the heat for 30 minutes, after which the heat-
ing in the room will automatically be restarted.
The heat will only be turned off in rooms in
which the thermostat sends an "open window"
notification.
If you have more than one radiator in the same
room, only one of the thermostats has to reg-
ister an open window, after which all the radia-
tors in said room will shut off.
Requirement - when is the "open win-
dow" function activated?
When the living connect® thermostat senses a
sudden temperature drop, the "open window"
function is activated. This means that if the
room and outdoor temperatures are nearly
identical, then the system will be unable to
sense if a window has been opened. This also
means that the heating system is inactive and
that there is no risk of energy loss resulting
from the open window.
Another requirement that enables the open
window function to work is that the radiator
must be located in the immediate vicinity of
the window (which it most often will). If the
radiator is located e.g. 10 metres from the win-
dow, it may be difficult for the living connect®
thermostat to sense a clear drop in tempera-
ture, which is needed for it to turn off the heat.
Please note: If you live in a home without a ventilation
system, we recommend that you ventilate the
entire house twice daily for a minimum of
5 minutes by opening windows in opposite
ends of the house. If you have a Danfoss Air
ventilation system, then there is of course no
need to open your windows.

You get up in the morning and open your bed-
room window.
Fresh, cool air flows in and is detected by the living
connect® thermostat; shortly thereafter the radiator
is certain that the window is open, and the thermo-
stat will then shut off the heat.
A while later, you close the window. The heat will be
reactivated in the room no later than 30 minutes after
it has been shut off.
