Frequently asked questions

How do I control room temperature with the operator?

Control of the space temperature at a comfortable level is easily accomplished by adjusting the dial clockwise or counterclockwise.

What do the numbers on the dial mean?

The dial has a numbered scale of 1 to 5 corresponding to temperatures of approximately 57°F to 79°F (14°C to 26°C).

What are some general tips of operator placement within the room?

The operator or sensing element must not be:

What is the correct mounting orientation of the operator?

The correct orientation direction is dependent upon the selected operator type. See the mounting guide visual below for reference.

What can I do if the radiator is producing too much heat?

There are a couple of reasons for overheating depending upon which system you have:

For One or Two-pipe systems:

For Hot Water systems:

What if the radiator is not producing sufficient heat?

For 'under heating' issues:

Ensure radiator is not blocked by furniture, heavy curtains, etc.
Ensure operator is not in a 'hot' spot or wrong sensor location for that product selection.

Room controls for hydronic floor heating

To ensure hydronic (water based) floor heating systems achieve the expected high level of comfort and low energy consumption, good room temperature controls are essential. Danfoss thermostats control the room temperature through heat radiating from the floor system.
Thermostatic radiator valves

Robustly built and designed to meet the rigors of the residential, commercial and industrial sectors, a comprehensive range of Danfoss RA2000 thermostatic radiator valves is available for hot water, one-pipe steam, and two-pipe low pressure steam systems.
Radiator operators

Danfoss RA2000 radiator operators maintain constant desired room temperatures, individually room by room and help to reduce energy consumption.
Thermostatic valves

Thermostatic valves are a simple and reliable control solution requiring neither electricity nor control air. An example of application is automatic control of water temperature in cooling systems.The valves are available with remote or built-in sensor.
Motorized control valves and actuators

ESBE motorized control valves (MCVs) ensure improved water temperature control in a variety of applications. The comprehensive range of ESBE MCVs and motorized actuators are used in: radiant heating, indirect domestic hot-water, chilled water, set-point application, and mixing/diverting applications.
