Connecting to AC Unit

The controller communicates with a compatible Daikin indoor unit via a dedicated control cable.

1. Ensure the indoor unit and main power are turned off.
2. Locate the remote controller terminal block (CN41/CNRY) on the indoor unit's PCB.
3. Connect the wires from the BRC1E63 cable to the corresponding terminals (e.g., 1, 2, 3) as shown in the wiring diagram. Typically, a 2-core or 3-core shielded cable is used.
4. Secure the connections and ensure no loose strands are present.
5. The controller is powered through this connection; no separate power supply is needed.

Tip: Use the correct cable type and length as specified in the installation manual. Avoid running the control cable parallel to power lines to prevent interference.

• Powerful Mode (if applicable): Provides maximum cooling/heating capacity for a rapid temperature change, typically for 20-30 minutes.

Care & Cleaning

Unplug the system from the main power before any cleaning.

1. Controller Surface: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, dampen the cloth slightly with water. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.
2. Display: Use a microfiber cloth to avoid scratching the LCD screen.
3. Vents: Ensure the vents on the controller are free from dust using a soft brush.

CAUTION! Never pour or spray water or any liquid directly onto the controller. Do not use benzene, thinner, or other chemical cleaners as they may damage the surface and display.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Possible Cause	Corrective Action
No display on controller	Power off, wiring fault	Check circuit breaker. Ensure indoor unit is powered. Verify control cable connections are secure and correct.
Controller does not respond to button presses	Child lock active, system busy	Deactivate child lock. Wait a moment for the system to finish its current operation cycle.
Indoor unit does not turn on	Communication error, mode conflict	Check for error codes on the controller display. Ensure the selected mode (e.g., Heat) is supported by the system configuration.
Temperature setting not achieved	Extreme ambient conditions, dirty filters, closed vents	Clean air filters. Ensure room doors/windows are closed and vents are open. Allow more time in extreme weather.
Error code displayed (e.g., U4)	Communication error between indoor and outdoor units	Note the code. Turn the system off at the main power for 5 minutes, then restart. If code persists, contact a qualified technician.
Timer function not working	Incorrect clock setting, timer not enabled	Set the correct current time on the controller. Confirm the timer is set and activated (icon displayed).

Reset: Turning the system off at the main circuit breaker for 5-10 minutes can clear temporary faults.
