The Danfoss Link RS is a battery-powered room sensor designed to measure ambient temperature and control heating. Installation involves mounting the back panel to the wall, inserting two AA batteries, and sliding the front unit onto the back panel. The device must be paired with a Danfoss Link CC Central Controller to function within the system.
Installation
The wireless transmission range is sufficient for most applications, but building obstacles may affect performance. If communication issues arise, consider using repeaters.

- Do not install the sensor in direct sunlight.
- Recommended installation height is 80-150 cm.
- In wet rooms, follow local building regulations.
- Maintain at least 50 cm distance from windows or doors that may be left open.
Mounting steps:
- Turn the device to access the back.
- Remove the back panel by pressing with thumbs and pulling downwards.
- Fix the back panel to the wall using screws or adhesive.
