only
Incorrect use of the installation frame and improper installation can cause the
equipment to fall, resulting in injury.
Be sure to install the product securely in the installation frame mounted on a

window frame.
If the unit is not securely mounted, it can fall and cause injury.
Be sure to use an exclusive power circuit for the equipment, and follow the
technical standards related to the electrical equipment, the internal wiring regulations and the instruction manual for installation when conducting electrical
work.
Insufficient power circuit capacity and improper electrical work can cause an
electrical shock or fire.
Be sure to use the specified cable to connect between the indoor and outdoor
units. Make the connections securely and route the cable properly so that
there is no force pulling the cable at the connection terminals.
Improper connections can cause excessive heat generation or fire.
When connecting the cable between the indoor and outdoor units, make sure
that the terminal cover does not lift off or dismount because of the cable.
If the cover is not mounted properly, the terminal connection section can
cause an electrical shock, excessive heat generation or fire.
Do not damage or modify the power cable.
Damaged or modified power cable can cause an electrical shock or fire.
Placing heavy items on the power cable, and heating or pulling the power
cable can damage the cable.
Do not mix air or gas other than the specified refrigerant (R-410A) in the refrigerant system.
If air enters the refrigerating system, an excessively high pressure results,
causing equipment damage and injury.
If the refrigerant gas leaks, be sure to locate the leak and repair it before
charging the refrigerant. After charging refrigerant, make sure that there is no
refrigerant leak.
If the leak cannot be located and the repair work must be stopped, be sure to
perform pump-down and close the service valve, to prevent the refrigerant gas
from leaking into the room. The refrigerant gas itself is harmless, but it can

Note: Refrigerant can be charged in liquid state with cylinder in upright position.
Caution!: Do not lay cylinder on its side during charging, since it causes refrigerant in gas state to
enter the system.
Handling of
cylinders
Laws and regulations

R410A is liquefied gas, and the High-Pressure Gas Safety Law must be observed in handling
them. Before using, refer to the High-Pressure Gas Safety Law.
The Law stipulates standards and regulations that must be followed to prevent accidents with
high-pressure gases. Be sure to follow the regulations.
Handing of vessels
Since R410A is high-pressure gas, it is contained in high-pressure vessels.
Although those vessels are durable and strong, careless handling can cause damage that can lead
to unexpected accidents. Do not drop vessels, let them fall, apply impact or roll them on the ground.
Storage
Although R410A is not flammable, it must be stored in a well-ventilated, cool, and dark place in the
same way as any other high-pressure gases.
It should also be noted that high-pressure vessels are equipped with safety devices that releases
gas when the ambient temperature reaches more than a certain level (fusible plug melts) and when
the pressure exceeds a certain level (spring-type safety valve operates).
ESIE07-07
1.4.4
Introduction
Service Tools
R410A is used under higher working pressure, compared to previous refrigerants (R22,R407C).
Furthermore, the refrigerating machine oil has been changed from Suniso oil to Ether oil, and if oil
mixing is occurred, sludge results in the refrigerants and causes other problems. Therefore, gauge
manifolds and charge hoses that are used with a previous refrigerant (R22,R407C) can not be used
for products that use new refrigerants.
Be sure to use dedicated tools and devices.

Automatic Restart
Purpose
ESIE07-07
The purpose of the auto-restart function is to automatically resume the same operating mode as when
the unit was operating when the power supply is restored after a power failure.
Do not use the "Automatic Restart" function to daily start/stop the unit.
Precautions when
turning OFF power
3
4
When you have to turn OFF the power supply in order to carry out maintenance, make sure to turn
the remote control's ON/OFF switch OFF firstly.
If you turn OFF the power supply while the remote control's ON/OFF switch is still ON, the
"automatic restart function" automatically starts the indoor pump immediately and the outdoor unit
fan starts automatically 3 minutes after the power supply is turned back ON.
Do not start/stop the unit by disconnecting the power supply.Stop the unit by stop commando from
the remote controller or optional controller before disconnecting the power supply. Be sure that the
compressor and the outdoor fans are stopped before disconnecting the power supply so the
"Refrigerant Recovery function" has been finished correctly.
When restarting the unit after the power was disconnected for a longer period leave the unit OFF
with the power supply connected for about half an hour (See "Crankcase Heater Control").

Forced Thermostat OFF
The unit will perform the forced thermostat off function in following conditions:
P
Condition 1 (cooling)
P
Thermostat off due to freeze-up prevention.

Based on the judgment to prevent the indoor heat exchanger from freezing, the thermostat is
forcedly turned OFF.
Thermostat off due to low outdoor temperature
When the outside temperature is <10C DB in Coding mode, the unit will conduct a forced
thermostat off operation to protect the system.
P
Condition 2 (heating)
Thermostat off due to low / high outdoor temperature.
P
When the outside temperature is < -20CDB / > 35CDB in heating mode, the unit will conduct
a forced thermostat off operation to protect the system.
"1.12Freeze Prevention Function". Refer to P 217.
Condition 3 (hot water operation)

Thermostat off due to low / high outdoor temperature
P
When the outside temperature is < 20CDB / > 35CDB in hot water operation mode, the unit
will conduct a forced thermostat off operation to protect the system.

1.8
Test Run Control
Purpose
When operating the units for the first time after installation, the unit will - depending on the selected
operation mode - perform a test run operation first.
Note:
When running in test run mode, the unit will sense on site installation parameters (e.g.: failure to
open stop valves,..) and indicate the applicable malfunction code if required.
If the remote controller shows E3, E4 or L8 as an error code, there is possibility that either the stop
valve is closed.
Check the inter unit branch wiring connection (1-2-3 wiring) when the error code U4 or UF is
displayed on the remote controller.
When the error code U2 is displayed on the remote controller, check for voltage imbalance.
When the error code L4 is displayed on the remote controller, there is possibility that the air flow
passage is closed.
When there is no error code display, cooling operation continues without interruption. (However,
this control is once again performed after refrigerant is recovered by means of the pump down
switch and at the time of the first operation after the outdoor PC board replacement.)

ESIE07-07
Automatic test run
When the unit is put into operation (by pressing the y button) for the first time, the system will
automatically perform a test run in cooling mode. The test run will take up to 3 minutes, during which
no specific indication is given on the user interface.
During the automatic test run, it is important to ensure that the water temperature does not drop below
10C, which might activate the freeze-up protection and thereby prevent the test run to finish.
Should the water temperature drop below 10C, press the J/E button so the J icon is displayed. This
will active the backup heater during the automatic test run and raise the water temperature sufficiently.
If the automatic test run has ended successfully, the system will automatically resume normal
operation.
If there are misconnections or malfunctions, an error code will be displayed on the user interface. To
resolve the error codes, see "Trouble shooting".
Note:
212
When the outdoor unit is put into pump down operation (see the outdoor unit installation manual), the
automatic test run flag will be cleared. The next time the system is put into operation, the automatic
test run will be executed again.

4-way Valve Control
Purpose
Method
The purpose of the 4-way valve control is to control how the superheated refrigerant passes through
the 4-way valve. The 4-way valve control carries out the changeover switching of the 4-way valve. This
changeover switching is only carried out during operation, because a certain pressure difference is
required to move the internal cylinder.

Pump down operation
Outline
This unit is equipped with an automatic pump down operation which will collect all refrigerant from the
field piping and hydro-box in the outdoor unit. To protect the environment, make sure to perform the
following pump down operation when relocating or disposing of the unit.
Note:
The outdoor unit is equipped with a low pressure switch or a low pressure sensor to protect the
compressor by switching it off. Never short-circuit the low pressure switch during pump down
operation!
Procedure
Turn on the main power supply switch.
Make sure the liquid stop valve and the gas stop valve are open (see "Stop valve operation" on
page 7).
Press the pump down button (BS1) on the PCB of the outdoor unit for at least 5 seconds.
The compressor and outdoor unit fan will start operating automatically. The hydro-box fan may
automatically start operating, please pay attention to this.
Once operation stops (after 3 to 5 minutes), close the liquid stop valve and the gas stop valve.
The pump down operation is now finished. The remote controller may display "U4" and the indoor
fan may continue operating for about 30 seconds. This is not a malfunction. Even when the ON
button on the remote controller is pressed, the unit will not start to operate. To restart operation of
the unit turn off the main power supply switch and turn it on again.
Turn off the main power supply switch.

Starting Frequency Control
Outline
The inverter compressor will start up with a limited fixed frequency value for a specified period of time
in order to prevent liquid back to the compressor, and to limit the starting current.
General
The normal starting control time is 2~3 minutes. The maximum starting frequency control time is
limited to 10 minutes.
During compressor start-up, a pressure difference will be build up in order to have sufficient pressure
difference for the 4-way valve to change over.

General Frequency Control
Outline
After the "Starting frequency control" function has been terminated, the ideal compressor frequency
will be determined by the "General frequency control".
General
The compressor operation frequency is controlled in order to keep a constant evaporation temperature
in cooling and a constant condensing temperature in heating.
The frequency can be changed every 20 seconds.The maximum frequency change = 2 steps/change.
(= max 6 steps/min)
During abnormal situations (e.g. inverter current protection) the change per step is also = 2
steps/change, but the 20 seconds interval may be decreased, so a quicker change is possible.
Note
When other control functions are activated (e.g. discharge pipe control), they can change the
compressor frequency using other inputs than the ones normally being used by the "General
frequency control" function.
Cooling
In cooling, the target operation frequency will be determined by the indoor t and the evaporating
temperature.
t cool = Remote controller set temperature - Outlet water temperature.
Depending on the cooling load, the target evaporating temperature (Te) will be a value between 2C
Te 20C TBC.
Heating
In heating, the target operation frequency will be determined by the indoor t and the condensing
temperature.
t heat = Outlet water temperature - Remote controller set temperature.
Depending on the heating load, the target condensing temperature (Tc) will be a value between 42C
Tc 54C TBC.
228
ESIE07-07
Frequency steps
The operating frequency for the inverter units will be a value chosen from a list with fixed frequency
settings that is programmed in the unit's memory:

Oil Recovery Operation
Outline
When the compressor operates for a certain period of time at low frequency, the oil level in the
compressor may become low due to incomplete oil return.To prevent damage to the compressor and
in worst case avoid compressor lock, an oil recovery operation will be conducted.
Details
During the oil recovery operation, the operation frequency of the compressor will be increased for a
time period of 5 minutes.Oil recovery operation is only executed in cooling mode.In heating mode, oil
return to the compressor is guaranteed by the defrost operation.

Expansion Valve Control at Startup
Outline
Before going to the general expansion valve control, the expansion valve opening will be limited in
order to avoid the risk of liquid back and allow quick build up of pressure difference.
Details
During startup, the opening degree is determined by both the compressor frequency & the suction
superheat. During startup, it is not possible to use only the value of the suction superheat because the
operation is not stable yet. As a consequence also the SH value will not be stable.

ESIE07-07
General Expansion Valve Control
Outline
After the start up control function has been terminated the general expansion valve control function will
regulate the expansion valve opening in function of the target suction SH value.
The discharge SH value will be used to set the target SH value.

The measured suction SH value will be used to control the opening of the expansion to the target SH
value.
Details
When the unit is in cooling or heating operation the opening of the expansion valve will be controlled
in order to keep the amount of superheat at the evaporator outlet constant. This way the evaporator
can be used at maximum efficiency under all conditions. The initial target heat exchanger outlet
superheat value = 5C.
The target heat exchanger outlet superheat value can be increased in case the discharge superheat
value decreases.
The target heat exchanger outlet superheat value can be decreased in case the discharge superheat
value increases.
Control
During normal control 2 situations can decide on the expansion valve opening degree:
1
Calculations
Target superheat amount:

When the target heat exchanger outlet superheat > actual heat exchanger
outlet superheat --> the expansion valve will close.
When the target heat exchanger outlet superheat < actual heat exchanger
outlet superheat --> the expansion valve will open.
The superheat amount is checked every 10 seconds.
Frequency change: At the time of compressor frequency change, the expansion valve opening will
be changed with a fixed value. This value will be in function of the amount of compressor frequency
change.
The heat exchanger outlet superheat value is calculated from the saturated suction temperature
Te(using indoor coil sensor in cooling, outdoor coil sensor in heating) and the suction pipe temperature
R4T : SH = R4T-Te
The discharge superheat value is calculated from the saturated discharge temperature Td (HP value
calculated out of PI, frequency and Te) or Tc and the discharge pipe temperature R3T : SH = R3T-Td
or R3T or SH = R3T-Tc (whichever is the lowest)

Introduction
In the first stage of the troubleshooting sequence, it is important to correctly interpret the error code on
the remote controller display. The error code helps you to find the cause of the problem.
Shutdown
For some errors, the system only shuts down when the error occurs several times. This means that
you have to wait until the system shuts down to be able to see the flashing LED on the front panel and
the error code on the remote controller.

Error generation
The error is generated when the data from the EEPROM is not received correctly.
EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory): A memory chip that holds its
content without power. It can be erased, either within the computer or externally and usually requires
more voltage for erasure than the common +5 volts used in logic circuits. It functions like non-volatile
RAM, but writing to EEPROM is slower than writing to RAM.
Supposed causes
The possible cause is a malfunctioning hydro-box PCB.
Troubleshooting
Switch the power off
and on again to restart.
Normal reset?
No
Replace

Do not touch the charged area (high voltage) for 10 minutes after turning the power supply off.
If you must touch such an area, make sure that the power supply voltage of power transistor is 50 V
or less.
Disconnect the connector of the outdoor unit fan motor.

When the outdoor unit fan is rotating against a strong wind, the condenser is charged and electric
shock may result. Therefore, disconnect the connector from the outdoor unit fan motor after
confirming that the outdoor unit fan has stopped.
Before measuring the continuity, disconnect the connection between compressor and power
transistor.
Measure the continuity in the following procedure.

Check No.13 - Check for Inadequate Refrigerant

As criteria for judging whether refrigerant is inadequate or not, refer to the following operating
conditions.
<Diagnosis of inadequate refrigerant>
33
As suction superheat degree increases due to gas shortage, the electronic expansion valve tends
to open (opens fully) in order to avoid overheat operation.
In response to decreased evaporator capacity caused by gas shortage, capacity is controlled in

the inverter in order to maintain low pressure, which results in a decrease in frequency.
Because of (1) and (2) above, the compressor frequency decreases despite a large difference
(large load) between temperature set by the remote controller and indoor suction temperature,
resulting that cooling capacity becomes unavailable.
If gas shortage worsens, the electronic expansion valve remains fully open and suction superheat
degree further increases. In addition, because the compressor frequency drops to the level of the
lowest frequency (52 Hz) and the refrigerant flow rate decrease, low pressure cannot be
maintained.

398
ESIE07-07
<Diagnosis of inadequate refrigerant>

1
As suction superheat degree increases due to gas shortage, the electronic expansion valve tends
to open (opens fully) to avoid overheat operation.
As suction superheat degree increases due to gas shortage, compressor frequency decreases
because suction superheat degree is controlled in order to prevent oil to the outdoor heat
exchanger from being retained.
Because of (1) and (2) above, evaporator capacity and compressor frequency decrease despite a
large difference (large load) between temperature set by the remote controller and indoor suction
temperature, resulting that high pressure cannot be maintained and heating capacity becomes
unavailable. Also a decrease in evaporator capacity frequently puts the system in defrost
operation.
If gas shortage worsens, high pressure becomes smaller than saturated pressure equivalent to
indoor heat exchanger temperature (or indoor suction temperature).

Check No.14 - Check for Excessive Refrigerant Charging

As criteria for judging whether refrigerant is excessively charged or not, refer to the following operating
conditions.
<Diagnosis of excessive refrigerant charging>
33
Because high pressure rises due to excessive charging, overload control is carried out and
capacity tends to run short.
Considering pressure load, compressor discharge pipe temperature is low.
Subcooled degree of condensate liquid becomes large. Therefore, temperature of blown air
passing through subcooled part decreases in heating operation.

Test Run Checks

Before carrying out a test run, proceed as follows:
Step
Action
Make sure the voltage at the primary side of the safety breaker is:
Initial start-up at
low outdoor
ambient
temperatures
230 V 10% for 1-phase units
400 V 10% for 3-phase units
Fully open the liquid and the gas stop valve.
Unit with optional backup heater

During initial start-up or after a long period of standstill, and when water temperature is low, it is
important that the water is heated gradually. Failure to do so may result in cracking of concrete floors
due to rapid temperature change.
To do so, the lowest leaving water set temperature can be decreased to a value between 15C and
25C by adjusting the field setting [9-01] "heating set point lower limit".
5
Note:
Heating between 15C and 25C is performed by the backup heater only. This feature is not available
on units without a backup heater.
Pre-operation
checks
Checks before initial start-up
Warning
Check off the power supply before making any connections.
After the installation of the unit, check the following before switching on the circuit breaker:
1
Field wiring
Make sure that the field wiring between local supply panel and hydro-box, outdoor unit and
hydro-box, hydro-box and valves (when applicable), hydro-box and room thermostat (when
applicable), and hydro-box and sanitary water tank has been carried out according to the
44
ESIE07-07
Test Operation
instructions described in the chapter "Field wiring" on page 11, according to the wiring diagrams
and according to European and national regulations.
2
Fuses or protection devices
Check that the fuses or the locally installed protection devices are of the size and type specified in
the chapter "Technical specifications" on page 27. Make sure that neither a fuse nor a protection
device has been bypassed.
3
Booster heater circuit breaker F2B

Do not forget to turn on the booster heater circuit breaker F2B in the switch box (applies only to
units with optional sanitary warm water tank installed).
Earth wiring
Make sure that the earth wires have been connected properly and that the earth terminals are
tightened.
Internal wiring
Visually check the switch box on loose connections or damaged electrical components.
Fixation
Check that the unit is properly fixed, to avoid abnormal noises and vibrations when starting up the
unit.
Damaged equipment
Check the inside of the unit on damaged components or squeezed pipes.
Refrigerant leak
Check the inside of the unit on refrigerant leakage. If there is a refrigerant leak, call your local
Daikin dealer.
Power supply voltage

Check the power supply voltage on the local supply panel. The voltage must correspond to the
voltage on the identification label of the unit.
10 Air purge valve

Make sure the air purge valve is open (at least 2 turns).
11 Pressure relief valve
Check if the backup heater vessel is completely filled with water by operating the pressure relief
valve. It should purge water instead of air (applies only to units with optional backup heater
installed).
Caution
Operating the system with the backup heater vessel not completeley filled with water will damage the
backup heater!
12 Shut-off valves
Make sure that the shut-off valves are correctly installed and fully open.
Caution
Operating the system with closed valves will damage the pump!
Powering up the
hydro-box
When power supply to the hydro-box is turned on, "88" is displayed on the user interface during its
initialisation, which might take up to 30 seconds. During this process the user interface cannot be
operated.

On the room thermostat, set the hysteresis appropriately to prevent the pump
from repeatedly turning on and off (i.e. chattering), and thereby impacting the
lifetime of the pump.
When a room thermostat is connected to the hydro-box, the heating and cooling schedule timers
are never available. Other schedule timers are not affected. For more information on the schedule
timers, refer to the operation manual.
When a room thermostat is connected to the hydro-box, and the = button or y button is
pressed, the centralised control indicator e will flash to indicate that the room thermostat has
priority and controls on/off operation and change over operation.

Field settings
The hydro-box should be configured by the installer to match the installation environment (outdoor
climate, installed options, etc.) and user demand. Thereto, a number of so called field settings are
available. These field settings are accessible and programmable through the user interface on the
hydro-box.
Each field setting is assigned a 3-digit number or code, for example [5-03], which is indicated on the
user interface display. The first digit [5] indicates the 'first code' or field setting group. The second and
third digit [03] together indicate the 'second code'.
A list of all field settings and default values is given under "Field settings table" on page 23. In this same
list, we provided for 2 columns to register the date and value of altered field settings at variance with
the default value.
A detailed description of each field setting is given under "Detailed description" on page 19.
Procedure
To change one or more field settings, proceed as follows.

[1] Weather dependent set point (heating operation only)

The weather dependent set point field settings define the parameters for the weather dependent
operation of the unit. When weather dependent operation is active the water temperature is
determined automatically depending on the outdoor temperature: colder outdoor temperatures will
result in warmer water and vice versa. During weather dependent operation, the user has the
possibility to shift up or down the target water temperature by a maximum of 5C. See the operation
manual for more details on weather dependent operation.
416
[1-00] Low ambient temperature (Lo_A): low outdoor temperature.
[1-01] High ambient temperature (Hi_A): high outdoor temperature.
[1-02] Set point at low ambient temperature (Lo_Ti): the target outgoing water temperature when
the outdoor temperature equals or drops below the low ambient temperature (Lo_A).
Note that the Lo_Ti value should be higher than Hi_Ti, as for colder outdoor temperatures (i.e.
Lo_A) warmer water is required.
[1-03] Set point at high ambient temperature (Hi_Ti): the target outgoing water temperature when
the outdoor temperature equals or rises above the high ambient temperature (Hi_A).
Note that the Hi_Ti value should be lower than Lo_Ti, as for warmer outdoor temperatures (i.e.
Hi_A) less warm water suffices.

Applies only to installations with a sanitary water tank.
The disinfection function disinfects the sanitary water tank by periodically heating the sanitary water to
a specific temperature.
Caution
The disinfection function field settings must be configured by the installer according to national and
local regulations.
[2-00] Operation interval: day(s) of the week at which the sanitary water should be heated.
[2-01] Status: defines whether the disinfection function is turned on (1) or off (0).
[2-02] Start time: time of the day at which the sanitary water should be heated.

[3] Auto restart
When power returns after a power supply failure, the auto restart function reapplies the user interface
settings at the time of the power supply failure.
Note:
It is therefore recommended to leave the auto restart function enabled.
Note that with the function disabled the schedule timer will not be activated when power returns to the
unit after a power supply failure. Press the pr button to enable the schedule timer again.
P
[3-00] Status: defines whether the auto restart function is turned ON (0) or OFF (1).
[4] Backup heater operation and space heating off temperature
3
4
Backup heater operation Applies only to units with optional backup heater installed.
The operation of the backup heater can altogether be enabled or disabled, or it can be disabled
depending on operation of the booster heater.
Note:
[4-00] Status: defines whether backup heater operation is enabled (1) or disabled (0).
[4-01] Priority: defines whether backup heater and booster heater can operate simultaneously (0),
or if the booster heater operation has priority over the backup heater operation (1).
When the priority field setting is set to ON (1), space heating performance of the system might be
decreased at low outdoor temperatures, since in case of sanitary water heating demand the backup
heater will not be available for space heating (space heating will still be provided by the heat pump).
When the priority field setting is set to OFF (0), make sure that electrical power consumption does not
exceed supply limits.
Space heating off temperature

P
[4-02] Space heating off temperature: outdoor temperature above which space heating is turned
off, to avoid overheating.
[5] Equilibrium temperature and space heating priority temperature

Equilibrium temperature The 'equilibrium temperature' field settings apply to operation of the
optional backup heater. When the equilibrium temperature function is enabled, operation of the
backup heater is restricted to low outdoor temperatures, i.e. when the outdoor temperature equals or
drops below the specified equilibrium temperature. When the function is disabled, operation of the
backup heater is possible at all outdoor temperatures. Enabling this function reduces the working time
of the backup heater.
P
[5-00] Equilibrium temperature status: specifies whether the equilibrium temperature function is
enabled (1) or disabled (0).
[5-01] Equilibrium temperature: outdoor temperature below which operation of the backup heater
is allowed.
Space heating priority temperature (applies only to installations with a sanitary water tank) The
'space heating priority temperature' field settings apply to operation of the 3-way valve and the booster
heater in the sanitary water tank.
When the space heating priority function is enabled, it is assured that the full capacity of the heat pump
is used for space heating only when the outdoor temperature equals or drops below the specified
418
ESIE07-07
space heating priority temperature, i.e. low outdoor temperature. In this case the sanitary water will
only be heated by the booster heater.
P
[5-02] Space heating priority status: specifies whether space heating priority is enabled (1) or
disabled (0).
[5-03] Space heating priority temperature: outdoor temperature below which the sanitary water will
be heated by the booster heater only, i.e. low outdoor temperature.
[5-04] Set point correction for sanitary water temperature: set point correction for the desired
sanitary water temperature, to be applied at low outdoor temperature when space heating priority
is enabled. The corrected (higher) set point will make sure that the total heat capacity of the water
in the tank remains approximately unchanged, by compensating for the colder bottom water layer
of the tank (because the heat exchanger coil is not operational) with a warmer top layer.

[6] DT for sanitary water heating

The 'DT (delta temperature) for sanitary water heating' field settings determine the temperatures at
which heating of the sanitary water by the heat pump will be started (i.e., the heat pump ON
temperature) and stopped (i.e., the heat pump OFF temperature).
When the sanitary water temperature drops below the heat pump ON temperature (THP ON), heating
of the sanitary water by the heat pump will be started. As soon as the sanitary water temperature
reaches the heat pump OFF temperature (THP OFF) or the user set point temperature (TU), heating of
the sanitary water by the heat pump will be stopped (by switching the 3-way valve).
The heat pump OFF temperature, and the heat pump ON temperature, and its relation with field
settings [6-00] and [6-01] are explained in the illustration below.
P
[6-00] Start: temperature difference determining the heat pump ON temperature (THP ON). See

[7] Sanitary water step length

When the sanitary water is heated and the sanitary water set point temperate (as set by the user) has
been reached, the booster heater will continue to heat the sanitary water to a temperature a few
degrees above the set point temperature, i.e. the booster heater OFF temperature. These extra
degrees are specified by the sanitary water step length field setting. Correct setting prevents the
booster heater from repeatedly turning on and off (i.e. chattering) to maintain the sanitary water set
point temperature. Note: the booster heater will turn back on when the sanitary water temperature
drops 2C (fixed value) below the booster heater OFF temperature.
Note:
If the schedule timer for booster heater (see the operation manual) is active, the booster heater will
only operate if allowed by this schedule timer.

[8] Sanitary water heating mode timer

The 'sanitary water heating mode timer' field settings defines the minimum and maximum sanitary
water heating times, and minimum time between two sanitary water heating cycli.
P
[8-00] Minimum running time: specifies the minimum time period during which sanitary water
heating should be activated, even when the target sanitary water temperature has already been
reached.
[8-01] Maximum running time: specifies the maximum time period during which sanitary water
heating can be activated, even when the target sanitary water temperature has not yet been
reached.
Note that when the unit is configured to work with a room thermostat (refer to "Room thermostat
installation configuration" on page 17), the maximum running timer will only be taken into account
when there is a request for space cooling or space heating. When there is no request for room
cooling or room heating, sanitary water heating by the heat pump will continue until the "heat pump
OFF temperature" (see field settings [5]) is reached. When no room thermostat is installed, the
timer is always taken into account.
[8-02] Anti-recycling time: specifies the minimum required interval between two sanitary water
heating cycli.

Take care that [8-03] is always smaller than the maximum running time [8-01].
By adapting the booster heater delay time versus the maximum running time, an optional balance
can be found between the energy efficiency and the heat up time.
However, if the booster heater delay time is set too high, it might take a long time before the
sanitary water reaches its set temperature upon sanitary mode request.

[9] Cooling and heating set points

The purpose of this field setting is to prevent the user from selecting a wrong (i.e., too hot or too cold)
leaving water temperature. Thereto the heating temperature set point range and the cooling
temperature set point range available to the user can be configured.
Caution:
In case of a floor heating application, it is important to limit the maximum leaving water temperature
at heating operation according to the specifications of the floor heating installation.
In case of a floor cooling application, it is important to limit the minimum leaving water temperature
at cooling operation to 16C to prevent condensation on the floor.

[A] Quiet mode

This field setting allows to select the desired quiet mode. Two quiet modes are available: quiet mode
A and quiet mode B.
In quiet mode A, priority is given to the outdoor unit operating quietly under all circumstances. Fan and
compressor speed (and thus performance) will be limited to a certain percentage of the speed at
normal operation. In certain cases, this might result in reduced performance.
3
4
In quiet mode B, quiet operation might be overridden when higher performance is required. In certain
cases, this might result in less quiet operation of the outdoor unit to meet the requested performance.
Caution
[A-00] Quiet mode type: defines whether quiet mode A (0) or quiet mode B (2) is selected.
[A-01] Parameter 01: do not change this setting. Leave it set to its default value.
Do not set other values than the ones mentioned.

Maintenance
Introduction
In order to ensure optimal availability of the unit, a number of checks and inspections on the unit and
the field wiring have to be carried out at regular intervals.
Precaution
Before carrying out any maintenance or repair activity, always switch off the circuit breaker on the
supply panel, remove the fuses or open the protection devices of the unit.
Make sure that before starting any maintenance or repair activity, also the power supply to the
outdoor unit is switched off.
Overview
The described checks must be executed at least once a year.

1
Water pressure
Check if the water pressure is above 0.3 bar. If necessary add water.
Water filter
Clean the water filter.
Water pressure relief valve

Check for correct operation of the pressure relief valve by turning the red knob on the valve
counter-clockwise:
55
If you do not hear a clacking sound, contact your local Daikin dealer.
In case the water keeps running out of the unit, close both the water inlet and outlet shut-off
valves first and then contact your local Daikin dealer.
Pressure relief valve hose

Check that the pressure relief valve hose is positioned appropriately to drain the water.
If the (optional) drain pan kit is installed, make sure that the pressure relief valve hose end is
positioned in the drain pan.
Backup heater insulation cover

Check that the backup heater insulation cover is fastened tightly around the backup heater vessel.
Sanitary water tank pressure relief valve (field supply)

Check for correct operation of the pressure relief valve on the sanitary water tank.
Sanitary water tank booster heater

It is advisable to remove lime buildup on the booster heater to extend its life span, especially in
regions with hard water. To do so, drain the sanitary water tank, remove the booster heater from
the sanitary water tank and immerse in a bucket (or similar) with lime-removing product for
24 hours.
Hydro-box switch box

P
Carry out a thorough visual inspection of the switch box and look for obvious defects such as
loose connections or defective wiring.
Check for correct operation of contactors K1M, K2M, K3M, K5M (applications with sanitary
water tank only) and K4M by use of an ohmmeter. All contacts of these contactors must be in
open position.
