Field supply: Introduction Equipment which needs to be installed according to instructions in this manual, but which are not supplied by Daikin. 3.1. General information This installation manual concerns the VRV IV, full inverter driven, heat pump system for replacement purposes.
The outdoor unit is designed to work in heating mode at ambient INFORMATION temperatures from –20°C to 21°C and in cooling mode at ambient temperatures from –5°C to 43°C. A combination of R410A VRV DX indoor units with non-R410A VRV DX indoor units will block the system. NOTICE Such combinations cannot be used.
For this option EKPCCAB* is required which is a dedicated cable to communicate with the outdoor unit. The Pair module only software for the user interface program can be downloaded from Refrigerant R410A the Daikin extranet. Replacement functionality INFORMATION Capacity index VRV IV series Refer to the technical engineering data for the latest option names.
