Configuration Main PCB Address value (e) BS12A BS8A BS4A [2-9] Setting to assign an address value to the BS unit for error handling. Assign the same address to the main PCBs (A1P, A2P and A3P) of 1 BS unit, and another address to the other BS units.
Configuration This setting is only to be used during the test run of the BS unit when a ventilated enclosure is used as a safety measure of the BS unit and an external alarm is added as an additional measure. During the BS unit test run, which is started by setting [2-3] to "1", the external fan and external alarm are both active.
NOTICE General commissioning checklist. Next to the commissioning instructions in this chapter, a general commissioning checklist is also available on the Daikin Business Portal (authentication required). The general commissioning checklist is complementary to the instructions in this chapter and can be used as a guideline and reporting template during commissioning and hand-over to the user.
Commissioning You have read the complete installation and operation instructions described in the installer and user reference guide. The BS unit is properly mounted. The field wiring has been carried out according to the instructions described in this document, according to the wiring diagram and according to the applicable national wiring legislation.
Commissioning ▪ Ventilated enclosure – multiple BS units to one extraction fan, parallel configuration: all BS units with a ventilated enclosure – parallel configuration. ▪ Ventilated enclosure – multiple BS units to one extraction fan, series configuration: only one BS unit with a ventilated enclosure – series configuration.
Commissioning Example A BS12A unit with an airflow rate during the test run of 115 m³/h. The pressure drop graph shows that this results in an internal pressure which is 42.9 Pa below the ambient pressure. Both requirements are met: ▪ The pressure inside the BS unit is more than 20 Pa below the ambient pressure (42.9 Pa).
Commissioning a BS unit b Air outlet duct c Direction airflow d Hot wire probe anemometer 18.3.4 Prerequisite checklist Check the following items before starting the BS unit test run. You have read the complete installation and operation instructions described in the installer and user reference guide.
Commissioning 1 Change field setting [2‑3] to "1". This setting simulates a refrigerant leak and activates the safety measures according to the field settings that have been made. See "18.3.1 About the BS unit test run" [ 108] to check which units need a setting change.
Commissioning Symptom: The airflow rate is too low Possible causes Corrective action Incorrect field settings Check if all field settings are made correctly. When in parallel or series configuration, the field settings of all BS units in a cluster need to be made correctly.
Hand-over to the user 19 Hand-over to the user Once the test run is finished and the unit operates properly, make sure the following is clear for the user: ▪ Make sure that the user has the printed documentation and ask him/her to keep it for future reference.
Maintenance and service 20 Maintenance and service 20.1 Before the maintenance and service of the BS unit Before starting the maintenance and service, the following field setting must be applied on the outdoor unit in order to close the BS unit shut-off valves. [2‑45] BS unit shut-off valve setting.
Troubleshooting 21 Troubleshooting CAUTION "3 Specific installer safety instructions" [ 12] to make sure troubleshooting complies with all safety regulations. 21.1 Solving problems based on error codes If the BS unit runs into a problem, the user interface of the indoor unit(s) connected to the BS unit displays an error code.
Disposal 22 Disposal NOTICE Do NOT try to dismantle the system yourself: dismantling of the system, treatment of the refrigerant, oil and other parts MUST comply with applicable legislation. Units MUST be treated at a specialised treatment facility for reuse, recycling and recovery. BS4~12A14AJV1B9 Installer and user reference guide VRV 5 branch selector unit...
