To Install Thermostat

WARNING: Turn off power at the main service panel before proceeding.

IMPORTANT: Installation must conform to local and national building and electrical codes.

Mounting Note: Mount the thermostat approximately five feet above the floor. Avoid mounting on an outside wall, in direct sunlight, behind a door, or near vents/ducts.

  1. Turn off power to the heating and cooling system.
  2. Gently pull the thermostat cover at the top seam to remove it.
  3. Position the thermostat base against the wall, ensuring wires feed through the opening.
  4. Mark the mounting hole locations.
  5. Set the base and cover aside.
  6. Drill holes at marked locations using a 3/16” drill bit.
  7. Tap supplied anchors into the mounting holes with a hammer.
  8. Align the thermostat base with the mounting holes, feeding control wires through the barrier and opening.
  9. Mount the base to the wall using supplied screws.
  10. For 2-transformer systems, remove and discard the RC/RH jumper.
  11. Insert stripped, labeled wires into matching terminals.
  12. Gently tug wires to ensure secure connections and double-check terminal assignments.
  13. Turn on power to the system at the main service panel.
  14. Configure the thermostat according to your system type.
  15. Replace the cover by snapping it into place.
  16. Test thermostat operation as described in the "Testing the Thermostat" section.

Remote or Outdoor Sensor Installation (Optional)

Required: Daikin Remote Sensor Part No. 667720401.

  1. Remove the cover from the remote sensor housing.
  2. Select an appropriate mounting location for the remote sensor.
  3. Mount the remote sensor unit using provided hardware.
  4. Install two-strand shielded wire between the remote sensor and thermostat. Shielded wire is mandatory. Do not run sensor wire in conduit with other wires.
    • Wire 1: Connect between S1 terminal on thermostat and S1 terminal on remote sensor.
    • Wire 2: Connect between S2 terminal on thermostat and S2 terminal on remote sensor.
    • Connect the wire shielding to the S2 terminal on the thermostat.
  5. Configure the thermostat to use the remote sensor (see Configuration Mode setting 10).

Note: Remote or outdoor sensor readings can be displayed by simultaneously pressing the Down and SYS buttons.

Configuration Mode

This mode allows setting the Daikin thermostat to match your heating/cooling system (heat pump, A/C, gas, oil, electric). To configure:

  1. Ensure the thermostat is in OFF mode (press SYS button until OFF displays).
  2. Remove the thermostat cover by gently pulling at the top seam.
  3. Press and hold the CONFIG button for 1 second while in OFF mode.
  4. Use the Up/Down buttons to change settings and the Right button to advance to the next screen. The Left button returns to the previous screen. Exit by pressing CONFIG for 1 second.

Configuration Settings:

  1. Temperature Scale: Select Fahrenheit (F) or Celsius (C).
  2. Temperature Differential: Set the degree difference between setpoint and turn-on temperature (1°F to 5°F or 0.5°C to 2.5°C).
  3. Deadband: Set the minimum degree difference between heat and cool setpoints in Autochangeover mode (1°F to 9°F or 1°C to 5°C).
  4. System: Configure for heat pump, non-heat pump, reversing valve operation, and number of compressors/stages. Options include Heat Pump (HP O 1, HP b 1), Non-Heat Pump (Heat Gas, Heat Electric).
  5. Lockout: Set the allowable temperature change during keypad lockout (0-8°). COOL-HEAT lockout limits adjustments to maximum heat and minimum cool setpoints.
  6. Maximum Heat Setpoint: Adjust the highest allowed heat set temperature (45°F to 90°F or 7°C to 32°C).
  7. Minimum Cool Setpoint: Adjust the lowest allowed cool set temperature (45°F to 90°F or 7°C to 32°C).
  8. Room Temperature Offset: Calibrate the displayed room temperature to match actual temperature (+9°F to -9°F or +4.5°C to -4.5°C). A CAL indicator appears when offset is not 0.
  9. Maximum Cycles Allowed Per Hour: Set the maximum heating/cooling cycles per hour (-- for as many as needed, 2-6).
  10. Temperature Sensor: Select sensor for room temperature: 1 (on-board only), 2 (remote only), or 3 (average of on-board and remote).
  11. Cooling Fan Delay Off Time: Select fan purge time for cooling (0, 30, 60, 90 seconds).
  12. Status Indicator Light: Configure the LED indicator: 0 (never on) or 1 (on with first stage).

Press CONFIG for 2 seconds to exit configuration.

Mode of Operation

The Daikin thermostat is an auto-changeover, single-stage heat/cool thermostat compatible with various systems. It activates heating when room temperature is below the set heat temperature (plus differential) and cooling when above the set cool temperature (minus differential). Heat pumps and A/C compressors have a 4-minute restart delay to protect the equipment. The thermostat offers four operating modes:

A button lockout feature is available to prevent unauthorized changes.

Testing the Thermostat

CAUTION: Do not energize the A/C system when the outdoor temperature is below 50°F (10°C) to prevent equipment damage or injury.

Heat Test:

  1. Set SYS to Heat mode.
  2. Adjust set temperature 5°F above room temperature. Heat should activate (red LED may light).
  3. Adjust set temperature 2°F below room temperature. Heat should turn off (fan delay may occur).
  4. For heat pumps, a 4-minute compressor delay applies. Bypass by going to OFF mode for 5 seconds.

Cool Test:

  1. Set SYS to Cool mode.
  2. Adjust set temperature 5°F below room temperature. A/C should activate (green LED may light).
  3. Adjust set temperature 2°F above room temperature. A/C should turn off (fan delay may occur).
  4. For compressors, a 4-minute delay applies. Bypass by going to OFF mode for 5 seconds.

Fan Test:

  1. Press FAN button; fan operates (FAN display and icon appear).
  2. Press FAN button again; fan turns off.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Remedy
No display Check for 24 VAC at thermostat; display is blank when 24 VAC is not present.
System fan does not come on properly Verify wiring is correct; check Gas/Electric Configuration setting.
All thermostat buttons are inoperative Verify 24 VAC is present; unit locks out when 24 VAC is not present.
No response with first button press First button press activates backlight only.
Thermostat turns on and off too frequently Adjust temperature differential (Configuration Mode Setting 2).
Fan runs continuously Press FAN button to turn fan off.
Status indicator light not on during call Turn status indicator function on (Configuration Mode Setting 12).
Room temperature is not correct Calibrate thermostat (Configuration Mode Setting 8). If remote sensor is used, check S1 and S2 terminal connections.
[LOCK] symbol displays when any button is pressed Thermostat has the button lockout function activated (see Lockout Feature and Configuration Mode Setting 5).
"Er" on display instead of room temp. Check for a bad connection at S1 and S2 terminals, if used (see Configuration Mode Setting 10).
Heat or Cool not coming on Verify wiring is correct; verify RC/RH jumper is in place (for single transformer system).
Remote or outdoor sensor not accurate Press SYS and Down buttons simultaneously to display remote or outdoor temperature. Verify connections at S1 and S2 terminals.
Problem not listed above Press Reset button once. (Note: Reset Button Function: Time and day are reset, configuration settings are unchanged.)

SimpleSet™ Field Programming

This feature requires the SimpleSet™ Transfer Cable (668817901) and is used for copying configuration from a master thermostat to target thermostats.

Preparing the Master to Send:

  1. Ensure the master thermostat is powered with 24 VAC and is in OFF mode.
  2. Remove the master thermostat cover.
  3. Simultaneously press the Up, Down, and CONFIG buttons for 5 seconds. The "OUT" screen will display, indicating readiness for data transfer.
  4. To exit data transfer mode, press Up, Down, and CONFIG simultaneously for 5 seconds.
  5. Turn off power to the master and remove it from the wall.
  6. Connect the master to the target thermostat using the 3-wire connector, attaching to the Master's FP pins and the Target's FP pins.
  7. The target thermostat must be powered with 24 VAC for programming.
  8. Upon correct connection, the master will power up, the target will count down from 5 to 1, and then display "LOCK" to confirm data saving.
  9. After completing all target thermostats, reinstall the master.
