Frequently Asked Questions - IK1 DANFOSS

How do I pair the IK1 remote with my Danfoss thermostat?

Press and hold the pairing button on the thermostat for 3 seconds until the LED flashes. Then, on the IK1 remote, go to Menu > Pairing and select the thermostat. Follow the on-screen instructions.

What type of batteries does the IK1 use?

The IK1 remote uses 2 AAA alkaline batteries. Do not use rechargeable batteries as they may not provide sufficient voltage.

How do I replace the batteries?

Slide the battery cover on the back of the remote downwards, remove the old batteries, insert new ones with correct polarity (+/-), and replace the cover.

What is the maximum range of the IK1 remote?

The maximum range is approximately 30 meters in open space. Walls and large obstacles may reduce the range.

Charger and battery

Transmitter Power supply

Ikore, IK1 have 2 different models depending on the power supply

Transmitters with NO Suffix (Ikore, IK1-x1) use AA or AAA Alkaline Batteries

Transmitters with Suffix B (IkoreB, IK1-x2) use Li Ion Rechargeable Batteries BT11K

Alkaline Battery Recommendations

Transmitters that do use AA Battery Pack or AAA Batteries, it is highly recommended to use ALKALINE Batteries.

The use of Non Alkaline Batteries may diminish the Transmitter working hours.

Working hours that do appear on the Detailed description are always using Alkaline batteries.

   The red LED will switch on if the charger is properly connected.

2. Place the batteries on the charger.

3. Optional: When charging two batteries, wait at least five seconds before inserting the second battery into the compartment.

Warning

Possible damage to battery.

The Battery Charger must be installed in a dry/interior environment. Make sure to charge batteries in environments with temperatures over 0^ C.

Charger and battery

BC70K Charger LEDs Status

The BC70K charger has a LED for each compartment (BAT 1 and BAT 2) and a common indicator (POWER).

LED color / frequency Description
Green LED / pulsing (BAT 1, BAT 2) The battery is being charged
Green LED / continuous (BAT 1, BAT 2) The battery is completely charged
Red LED / pulsing or continuous (BAT 1, BAT 2) The battery charger fault
Red LED / continuous (POWER) The charger is properly connected to power source

Battery Charging Recommendations

The battery lifespan is estimated to 500 recharging cycles and is largely dependent on the conditions of use. To maximize the lifespan of the batteries and battery charger, follow these recommendations:

• Do not recharge the battery until it is completely flat, as shown with red LED slow pulse on the transmitter
  • Always charge the batteries at temperatures between 0^ and 45^ C (the batteries will not become fully charged at temperatures exceeding 45^ C)
  • Do not leave the battery charger or batteries in a direct sunlight
  • Charge batteries at least once every three months
  • Make the charge of at least 40% of the full charge.
• Ideal Battery storage temperature should be between 15°C and 25°C.
• Avoid short circuits between the battery contacts; do not carry charged batteries in toolboxes or next to other metal objects (keys, coins, etc.)
  • Always keep contacts clean
• Caution! Risk of Explosion if Battery is Replaced by an incorrect type. Non Danfoss Battery use may void warranty
