Power Limitation Process; Setting Up An External Temperature Sensor - Daikin EWAQ006BAVP Installer's Reference Manual

5 Application guidelines
▪ Current (in A)
▪ Power input (in kW)
The energy management system (field supply) decides the activation
of a certain power limitation level. Example: To limit the maximum
power of the entire house (lighting, domestic appliances, space
heating...).

Setup
▪ Install control box EKCB07CAV3 and option box EK2CB07CAV3.
▪ Maximum four digital inputs
corresponding power limitation level:
▪ DI1 = weakest limitation (highest energy consumption)
▪ DI4 = strongest limitation (lowest energy consumption)
▪ For the specifications of the digital inputs, and for where to
connect them, refer to the wiring diagram.
Configuration
Set the power consumption control settings in [A.6.3.1] via the user
interface (for the description of all settings, see
page 46):
▪ Select activation by digital inputs.
▪ Select the type of limitation (power in kW or current in A).
▪ Set the desired power limitation level corresponding to each digital
input.
INFORMATION
In case more than 1 digital input is closed (at the same
time), the digital input priority is fixed: DI4 priority>...>DI1.

Power limitation process

The outdoor unit has better efficiency than the backup heater.
Therefore, the backup heater is limited and turned OFF first. The
system limits power consumption in the following order:
1 Limits the backup heater.
2 Turns OFF the backup heater.
3 Limits the outdoor unit.
4 Turns OFF the outdoor unit.
Example
If the configuration is as follows: Power limitation level does NOT
allow for backup heater operation (step 1 and step 2).
Then power consumption is limited as follows:

5.6 Setting up an external temperature
sensor
You can connect one external temperature sensor. It can measure
the indoor or outdoor ambient temperature. Daikin recommends to
use an external temperature sensor in the following cases:
Indoor ambient temperature
the
▪ In room thermostat control, the user interface is used as room
thermostat and it measures the indoor ambient temperature.
Therefore, the user interface must be installed on a location:
▪ Where the average temperature in the room can be detected
▪ That is NOT exposed to direct sunlight
▪ That is NOT near a heat source
▪ That is NOT affected by outside air or air draught because of,
for example, door opening/closing
▪ If this is NOT possible, Daikin recommends to connect a remote
indoor sensor (option KRCS01-1).
▪ Setup:
▪ Requires control
EK2CB07CAV3.
▪ For installation instructions, see the installation manual of the
remote indoor sensor and the addendum book for optional
equipment.
Configuration: Select room sensor [A.2.2.F.5].
Outdoor ambient temperature
▪ In the outdoor unit, the outdoor ambient temperature is measured.
Therefore, the outdoor unit must be installed on a location:
▪ At the north side of the house or at the side of the house where
the most heat emitters are located
▪ That is NOT exposed to direct sunlight
