Replacing Danfoss 103 Programmer with Salus EP100 Programmer

by **mountainman1952** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 11:10 am

I am replacing a Danfos old style electro-mechanical Programmer type 103 with a Salus EP100 Single Channel Programmer but am a bit unsure about the wiring.

There is a room Thermostat fitted to the system but am not sure how you wire this on the Salus EP100.

Can anyone help

mountainman1952,
You will have difficulty with your proposal. The Danfos is used to switch two circuits - hot water which supplies power to fire the boiler and central heating which powers the pump usually via a room stat.
The salus can only switch one circuit so will not replace the danfos.

Thanks for the reply stoneyboy.

According to the User Manual for the Danfos 103 "Your 103 timeswitch has one time output which can be used to control your heating and hot water at the same times". This is why I bought a single channel programmer to replace it. The wiring diagram in the manual also only shows one output. Have I got the wrong manual for the Danfos?

Again, any help would be appreciated.

mountainman1952,
Yes you are correct I was picturing the rectangular controller with separate settings for ch and hw.
Terminal 2 on the danfoss becomes live when the controller is calling for heat. There may be two wires connected to this terminal.
You should end up with neutral and live on the N and L terminals and the wires to terminal 2 on the danfos should be connected onto terminal 3 of the Salus. Terminals 1, 2 and 4 are unused.

Thanks. Swapped controllers today and the new one is working fine.
