Connecting to Systems

Wired: Communication cable to heat pump main unit. Optional: Wi-Fi module for app control.

Ensure power is off before connecting cables.
Connect communication cable to labeled terminals on controller and heat pump.
For Wi-Fi: Insert module into slot, follow app instructions for network setup.
Power on and verify connection (check for "Communication OK" message).

Tip: Use shielded cables for communication to prevent interference.

Operating Modes

Supports multiple modes for efficient climate control.

Heating Mode: Activates heat pump for warming. Set desired temperature.
Cooling Mode: Activates cooling function. Set desired temperature.
Auto Mode: Automatically switches between heating and cooling based on room temperature.
Fan Mode: Circulates air without heating or cooling.
Dry Mode: Reduces humidity while maintaining temperature.
Emergency Heat: Uses auxiliary heat source if heat pump is insufficient.

WARNING! Do not switch modes rapidly; allow system to stabilize between changes.

Advanced Functions

Scheduling: Program daily/weekly temperature setbacks for energy savings. Filter Reminder: Alerts when filter needs cleaning/replacement. System Lock: Prevents unauthorized changes (default password 0000). Remote Monitoring: Via optional Wi-Fi and Daikin app.

Care & Maintenance

Turn off power before cleaning. Use soft, dry cloth for display; mild detergent for casing if needed.

CAUTION! Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Keep vents clear of dust.
