  • Page 4: Mounting

    Assembly, start-up and maintenance work must be performed by primary supply to Danfoss substations. For the sake of simplicity, qualified and authorized personnel only. DH can be taken to mean the primary supply.
  • Page 5 Operating Guide Termix VVX-I with complete insulation 4.1.1 Installation Mounting: Adequate space Please allow adequate space around the substation for mounting and maintenance purposes. Orientation The station must be mounted so that components, keyholes and labels are placed correctly. If you wish to mount the station differently please contact your supplier.
  • Page 6 Operating Guide Termix VVX-I with complete insulation Keep the ECL controller in its position while removing the insulation front completely by pulling at the lower end of the insulation front. 4.1.3 Mounting the display of the energy meter Mark the position of the fixation points of the bracket for the energy display and screw the two plugs supplied into the insulation front.

The operating pressure in the substation is thus held steady.
  • Page 13 Operating Guide Termix VVX-I with complete insulation 6.1.4 Electronic control Substations with electronic control must be set in accordance with manufacturer´s instructions. Where the room temperature is controlled by radiator thermostats, it is recommended that thermostats be set for minimum temperature in each room.

  • Page 17: Dhw Temperature Control

    Operating Guide Termix VVX-I with complete insulation 6.2 DHW temperature control DHW temperature control There are various types of DHW temperature control used in Danfoss substations. DHW temperature should be adjusted to 45-50 °C, as this provides optimal utilisation of DH water. At DHW temperatures above 55 °C, the possibility of lime scale deposits increases significantly.

    Operating Guide Termix VVX-I with complete insulation 6.3 Other 6.3.1 Safety valve The purpose of the safety valve is to protect the substation from excessive pressure. The blow-off pipe from the safety valve must not be closed. The blow-off pipe outlet should be placed so that it discharges freely and it is possible to observe any dripping from the safety valve.
  • Page 19 Operating Guide Termix VVX-I with complete insulation 6.3.4 Fitting piece The substation is equipped with a fitting piece for energy meter. Assembly of energy meters: 1: Close ball valves Close the ball valves on DH Supply and DH Return, if there is water on the system.
