Installation - Mounting
Step 1: Remove Upper Part
Insert a minus screwdriver into the slots in the lower part of the remote controller (2 places) and remove the upper part. The PC board is mounted in the upper part; handle with care to avoid damage.
Illustration showing a minus screwdriver being inserted into slots on the lower part of the remote controller and twisted lightly to remove the upper part.
Step 2: Fasten Remote Controller
For exposed mounting, fasten with the included wood screws (2).
For flush-mounting, fasten with the included machine screws (2).
For field-supplied switch boxes, use optional accessories KJB111A or KJB211A.
Note: Choose the flattest place for the mounting surface. Be careful not to distort the shape of the lower part of the remote controller by over-tightening the mounting screws.
Diagrams illustrating mounting. One shows wood screws used for exposed mounting. Another shows machine screws used for flush-mounting into a switch box. The switch box is noted as a field-supplied part.
Installation - Wiring and Configuration
Wiring the Indoor Unit
Connect the terminals on the top of the upper part of the remote controller (P1, P2) to the terminals of the indoor unit (P1, P2). P1 and P2 do not have polarity.
Ground the shielded part on the indoor unit side.
Note: When wiring, run the wiring away from the power supply wiring to avoid receiving electric noise (external noise).
Notch the part for the wiring to pass through with nippers, etc.
Wiring Specifications
| Wiring Type | Size |
| Sheathed vinyl code or cable (2 wire) | 0.75~1.25 mm² |
Note 1: Peel the shield and sheath for the part that is to pass through the inside of the remote controller case, as shown in the figure below.
Note 2: Shield wire (2 wire) can be used for remote controller wiring, but it must conform to EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) (European Directive). Begin fitting from the clips at the bottom.
Wiring diagram illustrating the connection between the indoor unit and the remote controller via terminals P1 and P2. It shows the PC board locations and the routing of the wired connection. Notes detail how to prepare the wire (peel shield/sheath) and EMC compliance.
Reattach Upper Part
Reattach the upper part of the remote controller. Be careful not to pinch the wiring when attaching.
Controlling One Indoor Unit with Two Remote Controllers
To control one indoor unit with two remote controllers, change the MAIN/SUB changeover switch setting.
Set one remote controller to 'main' and the other to 'sub'.
- If controlling with one remote controller, be sure to set it to 'main'.
- Set the remote controller before turning power supply on.
The display '88' may appear for about one minute when the power supply is turned on, and the remote controller may not be operable in some cases.
Field Setting
If optional accessories are mounted on the indoor unit, the indoor unit setting may have to be changed. Refer to the instruction manual for each optional accessory.
Procedure
- When in the normal mode, press the [TEST] button for a minimum of four seconds to enter FIELD SET MODE.
- Select the desired MODE NO. with the ⬆️ button.
- During group control, when setting by each indoor unit (mode No. 20, 21 and 23 selected), press the ➡️ button and select the INDOOR UNIT NO. to be set. (This operation is unnecessary when setting by group.)
- Push the ⬆️ button and select FIRST CODE NO.
- Push the ⬇️ button and select SECOND CODE NO.
- Push the [TEST] button once to SET the present settings.
- Push the [TEST] button for about one second to return to NORMAL MODE.
Example: If during group setting and the time to clean air filter is set to FILTER CONTAMINATION - HEAVY, set MODE NO. to '10,' FIRST CODE NO. to '0,' and SECOND CODE NO. to '02.'

Control Systems Overview
Various Control by Liquid Crystal Remote Controller
Daikin offers various control systems for more effective localized environmental control, such as single or double remote control or centralized control. This enables the construction of a variety of operational control systems adaptable for various uses from remote control.
Control Methods
| Control Method | Objective / Use | Unit Name and Model | Example of typical use | Outline of System | Function | Standard Number of Units |
| Local operation of remote controller | Local operation of remote controller | BRC1C62 | Remote controller | Remote controller | Start/Stop (ON/OFF), Temperature setting, Timer setting (up to 72 hours), Air flow setting, Air flow direction adjustment (Swing flap), Indication functions (Operating display, Program dry, Defrost/Hot start, Filter sign, Temperature, Timer, Air flow, Abnormal operation) | 1 remote controller controls 1 indoor unit |
| Remote operation from distant place | For control from distant place | BRC1C62 | Remote controller | Remote controller | Same functions as local operation | Each up to 500m in length |
| Control from 2 places (distant or local) | For control from 2 places | BRC1C62 | Remote controller, Remote controller | Remote controller, Remote controller | Same functions as local operation | 2 remote controllers control 1 indoor unit |
| Group control | For the control of plural indoor units on a floor at the same time | BRC1C62 | Remote controller | Remote controller | In group control, all indoor units are set to the same value and controlled individually by their internal thermostat (not the remote controller's). | 1 remote controller controls up to 16 indoor units simultaneously |
| Group control by 2 remote controllers | For group control from 2 places | BRC1C62 | Remote controller, Remote controller | Remote controller, Remote controller | In command by double remote controls, the most recent one takes priority (master/slave selection essential). | 2 remote controllers control up to 16 indoor units from 2 different places simultaneously |
| Combining control by remote controller | Operation of other equipment combined with the operation of indoor unit | BRC1C62 | Remote controller, HRV | Remote controller | Operates HRV in accordance with indoor unit operation. | Same as the number of units controlled by remote controller |
Notes:
- 1. These figures show systems using wired remote controllers. Wireless remote controllers can be used for the same control.
- 2. In control by two remote controllers, one must be a wired remote controller. Two wireless remote controllers must not be used.
