tion has not been damaged during transportation. Be extreme-
ly careful when lifting or moving big and heavy substation.
3.0 System overview
3.1 General about district heating substations
The heating system of the property is connected to the district
heating network with the substation. Hot district heating water in
the district heating network runs through the heat exchangers in
the substation. District heating water does not enter the internal
network, just heat is transferred through the heat exchanger. The
substation distributes heat into the heating and domestic hot
water circuits.
All substation functions are controlled with an electronic con-
troller. The outdoor temperature is measured and the controller
adjusts the flow temperature to keep the room and domestic
hot water temperatures in the desired level. With the controller
you can change the property related settings (e.g. heating curve,
temperature limits), check the temperatures, change the settings,
create schedules etc.
3.2 DSA 2 MAXI Substation
Up to a certain point DSA 2 MAXI substation is standardized.
The final selection of components and the dimensioning of the
heat exchangers is done based on the requirements given by the
customer. This Installation Guide includes general instructions.
The more detailed information of the order can be found in the
product related documentation.

5.6 Height adjustment
Adjust the substation straight horizontally and on the desired
height with the help of the installation feet. By turning the adjust-
ment feet you can make up to 6 cm adjustments.
5.7 Pipe connections
The substation is connected to the district heating network, heat-
ing, domestic hot water and circulation networks in the building
according to the connections and flow directions in the drawing.
The pipes equipped with the couplings are to be detached and
welded somewhere else but above the substation.
The pipes must be mounted so that the strain caused by e.g. ther-
mal expansion, does not harm the sustation. The pipes must be
equipped with brackets in order to prevent any torsional stress.
The connection to the district heating network can be done
only by a qualified installer accepted by the district heating
distributor.
Prior to installation all pipes and connections have to be
cleaned and rinsed.

Electrification
Since the internal electrical connections are factory made it is not
mandatory to use an electrician to connect the substation. The
contact plug is the main electrical switch in the substation.
The outdoor temperature sensor is to be installed on the north
side of the property at app. 3 m height where the outdoor tem-
perature can be measured. There should be no ventilation window
at the close proximity to the measuring point. The other end of the
outdoor temperature sensor cable is to be connected into the con-
trol box. When connecting outdoor temperature sensor make
sure to remove the substation contact plug.
In case the length of the outdoor temperature sensor cable is not
long enough for your property, it is remmendable to change the
whole cable. This way extra joints are avoided. The minimum area
for the cable is 0.4 mm
2
and the maximum length is 125 m. If you
choose to use the extra joint inspite of recommendation, protect
the jointing sleeve with the shrink cable.
Stick the contact plug into the wall socket fitted with a 10A/220V
fuse.
Wait for 10 s, turn the circulation pumps P1 (DHW) and P2 (HE) on
by pressing the operating switches.
Do not run the pumps without water.
5.9 Controller settings
Description
The ECL Comfort electronic weather compensated temperature
controllers are for use in district heating, central heating and cool-
ing systems.
Energy savings are facilitated by weather compensation, adjust-
ment of temperature according to schedule, optimization as well
as limitation of return temperature, flow and power. Functionalities
such as data logging and alarm functions are implemented in the
controller.
Property specific controller settings
There are some property related settings which are to be done
before starting up the substation. A complete controller instruc-
tion is included and the most important details are also enclosed
in this Installation Guide.

5.9.5 Setting up limitations for flow temperature
The flow temperature maximum limitation prevents too hot
water from going into the heating circuit, e.g. in the floor-heating
system.
When taking floor-heating system into use for the first time, the
max. limitation for flow temperature can be set e.g. at 27°C. The
limitation temperature cuts off the heat curve when the tempera-
ture reaches the limit.
Later on after the concrete slab has dried the flow temperature
limitation can be raised to 45°C which is typically used in the floor-
heating system.
Typical max. limitation in the radiator heating circuit is 90°C.
