I have been researching this subject for a few weeks and this is by far the best vlog that I have come across. You have done a great job explaining the system in a layperson's manner.
Ehhhh, there is a lot more stuff on there that he didn’t explain like the Eco mode obviously it saves energy but how? That’s what I wanted to know for when my customer asked me how that saves them money so for anyone who is curious it slows down the fan at the condenser but it’s still operating just not at 100% so it’s still moving refrigerant just not at its full capacity.
I bought a house with this system. Unfortunately there wasn’t an instruction book. They told me it was just an a/c unit. Now I find out that it heats as well and how to operate it. Thank you!!!!
Wow, i can’t believe I just went through this whole video hoping you wouldn’t explain the just the self explanatory buttons and focus on the timer, and weekly mode
Thank you! I am staying in a vacation rental that has one of these and couldn't figure out how to operate it on my own. This video told me all that I need to know.
Excellent video I just had a 7000 BTU installed Yesterday by one of the greatest electrician / plumbers that I ever met he is a mechanical genius this is in my barn shed for a clock shop that I'm creating America's cuckoo perfect name perfect shed perfect everything for my projects good good video I saved it so that I can refresh myself
Omg thank you. I couldn’t get any heat out. I live in Vermont so it gets to -25 here and that’s pretty cold. I couldn’t get my daikin to blow out any heat . Thanks to your video it’s working a lot better.
Glad to hear it Francis. Also keep in mind these systems are generally meant to operate down to 5 degrees. There are some systems that will work down to -13, but that may explain why it wasn't producing heat. Thanks for watching!
You are actually the first to explain fan auto mode. If understood correctly... As demand is required the fan will increase speed and when not reduce back to low (eco mode?).
Finally somebody intelligent, great instructor…. Just wrong remote for me… the only videos I found with the correct remote for me, a total failure. They really need to learn how to use TH-cam so they can turn on their volume buttons. If they’re going to instruct somebody on how to do something, and the first video she didn’t even have the definition of the right buttons… She might want to look up some real information on her remote before you start trying to instruct people and get them more screwed up than they already are!
what drives me stupid crazy about Daikin, is they don't show the temperature of the room on the remote. It should show the room temp by default on the display. Say I walk in and it's just a little cold and I want it 3 degrees warmer..there is no way to know this, you just have to turn it on to 70, and if it's too hot..turn it down to 65, it's a huge oversight in my book. I love Daikin, but their systems software needs to join the 20th century.
Good video, these remotes are much more complex than most other HVAC remotes but not impossible to use. My question: is it possible to set the heat lower than 60°(F) or 16°(C)? We have a unit in a garage and don't need it that warm, preferably around 50°(F). Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you very much! I lost my remote and wish to buy universal remote. Do you know if there is such a thing, and how can I verify that it will work with mine? any specific recommendation? Thanks again
when I'm leaving the cabin for a few days, I set the temp to 51. However, it's been resetting itself to 66 some time after I leave. I assume this is the set point auto reset? How do I get to that on the remote? thanks for your help. It's getting expensive to heat an empty place for days on end.
I just installed a 3 unit system. If I take a remote from one unit to another, how do I know what temperature the next unit is at? If I set the first unit to 72 degrees, then take that remote to another unit and change it to 71, how do I know that second unit is now at 71? What if it was set to 77 when I pressed the button? Wouldn't that just change it to 76 even though the remote says 71?
Is it possible to recalibrate the remote temp reading because mine is 5 degrees lower than the actual room temperature? So, every time I want to leave the house for an extended period of time, I have to add 5 to the number shown on the remote which is somewhat a pain in the neck. My remote is the handheld ARC480A8 and the wall unit is FXT15NMVJU.
Thanks for the video. Just got this unit. Is there a way to know the current temp in the room. For example if i set it to 71 for heating it would be nice to know what room temp the unit us reading. Similar to a wall thermostat for a furnace.
Thanks again. Also to my understanding there is no app you can download to control the temperate on the unit from your phone, right?@@paultheplumber8665
Mine keeps blinking a green light on this line. Any button I press it will show up on the remote but the unit won’t do anything but blink that green light
@@Ibanez012003 You need to runa diagnostic from your remote. It will land on a malfunction code. I know because I went to turn on our units for the first time this summer and mine just did the same thing. I got a U0 code, so the AC contractor is on his way out to take a look at our units. They were installed last summer and we used them for about 3 months. When I went to turn the units on today for the first time, I also got the blinking green light on the unit. Right now I'm just running the fan, and that works just fine. You run the diagnostic by pressing the cancel button for 5 seconds and then you keep pressing it sequentially until you hear a long sustained tone. After the long tone you'll see the malfunction code displayed on the top of the display screen of your remote control. From there you can go online and see what that code means, but it likely needs a service call. At least if you know the malfunction code you can tell the service person.and it will help them to know where to start. Hope this helps you.

I have three head units inside connected to one unit outside and all three need to be in the same mode otherwise the green light on the inside head unit will blink. So all three cooling or all three heating, etc.
I had a Daikin 9000 installed into our bedroom. The whole purpose is to be able to cool the bedroom only down at night for cool sleeping, without cooling the entire house. The problem is - want to cool bedroom to say 67 degrees - so set on remote =67, cooling mode, fan to low (first indicator block) BUT the unit keeps on cooling after it reaches 67 and continues to a lower temperature. QUESTION - how do I control or set it (like a thermostat) so that the temp goes to the set point and not lower ? Want to do this automatically. The only way I have found is to turn it off at 67. We want it to hold at 67 while we are sleeping and not go to 63. Thank you
I think I have the same issue. The temperature setting is worthless regardless of whether I'm heating or cooling. It never matches the room temperature. I'm constantly having to adjust the setting.
How do you use MULTIPLE heads- it seems my remotes and heads are arguing with each other because of mixed modes? The green light just blinks! So frustrating-
Great video and it helped answer several questions for me but still, I cannot get my Daikin to function as I think it should. 1) If it is placed in either heating or cooling mode the outside unit will cycle on/off as expected but the head fan never shuts off. For me, this makes the room very uncomfortable. 2) In the auto heating/cooling mode, again the outside unit will cycle on/off and the head seldom shuts off. This has made it impossible for me to find a comfortable setting. This AM I had it set to 78f and it was much too warm. The head was in heating mode and the head fan was blowing air. I reduced the setting to 77f (one-degree change), for several minutes the head remained in heating mode and continued to blow hot air. When it changed to cooling mode the fan was really pumping out the air. It has now been about 4 hours since the one-degree temp change, the head is still in cooling mode, the room is uncomfortably cool, the head fan is still blowing cold air. The room is 15.5' x 15.5' and has 12' ceiling. The model number on the outside unit is RX18AXVJU, the head is FTX18AXVJU. Per the invoice, it is an 18,000 Btu unit. The heating/cooling mode is Auto, the fan is Auto Suggestions???
Similar issues with ours. The temperature detection seems worthless so I’ve had the best luck setting it to heat or cool on the lowest fan setting depending how I’d like the room to feel.
@@wormoSTEEZE Elsewhere I discovered that if you use the AUTO for heating/cooling mode the temp must change 8 degrees from the setting before it will flip modes. Obviously, this is ridiculous. In the same video, it was suggested to use the manual modes and keep the fan on the auto setting. So far this has been working great. The downside of this is I set the temp for 70 in the heating mode (it was really cool outside). Later in the day the temp outside was almost 80 and the temp in the room got above the setting for the Daikin and became uncomfortable. Daikin does make a smart thermostat that will give you true auto mode between heating and cooling but it cost over $700 just for this control and you get to install it. Some guys have got other thermostats to work. I found one video where the guy got his NEST thermostat to work and for $50 he would make the necessary module to connect the NEST to the Daikin. I have not followed up on this. Also there are other smart thermostats that can be used but I need to do more research (already I have too many projects and this will be delayed).
You may want to get it looked at but I suggest only using auto mode in shoulder seasons (spring/fall) and just putting it in heating mode in the winter and cooling mode in the summer.
@@johnterdik4707 you sir have provided the secret key, this 8 degree differential would explain my frustration, that and a lifetime of ex's but let's take one thing at a time.
Excellent video thank you so much I just got a Daikin mini split inverter installed yesterday it's badass I have it in my man cave so that I could do my cuckoo clocks as I named my new business America's Cuco absolutely epic for a president like you know the thing
Well done, thank you. Could you do a video on installing a thermostat for the unit that would operate from wifi? We would like to be able to monitor inside temp of our cabin from another location. Thx!
Yeah me too. Suddenly mine started coming on in the mornings; or not kicking in unless I hit powerful. I think maybe I accidentally activated some timers or something. I just now got it heating without using powerful but I would love to know how to just kill/reset all timers.
You set it to turn off at a certain time with the OFF button and setting the time in military time. You set it to turn on at a certain time with the ON button and setting the time. It took me trial and error to figure it out.
Hi... Just got this in September and have a question about the auto mode... Once set to auto, it will work the heat and cold to maintain that temperature (say 75 degrees) If the garage is 88 degrees it will cool away until it hits 75 and then shuts off until it rises again say 78 degrees (not sure of the degree amount it allows for) ? Or does it go into a slow/low mode and continues to run until the power button is pushed to off? As for the cooling mode, it never shuts off (or so it seems) it just keeps cooling away? Or is it supposed shut off at say 75 degrees and it was started at 88 degrees? It NEVER seems to shut off when reaching a set temperature, sort of confusing.....
I have this same question. Trying to set mine to a pretty high cooling mode temp (80) just to help take the edge off later in the summer. But today it is only 67 in the room right now and when I turn on the unit the cold air never stops. Did you ever figure it out?
@@shelleynice5431 No, not yet... I am experimenting with it and trying some different things.. I wish one could set a parameter of say 75 to 78 and set it and forget it..
Same issue. I'm keeping a bedroom closed so a cat doesn't get to my plants. We're getting cooler nights and I wanted to maintain a temperature of 66 degrees. Set it to Auto since the manual says, "In AUTO operation, the system selects an appropriate operation mode (COOL or HEAT) based on the room and outside temperatures and starts the operation. The system automatically reselects at a regular interval to bring the room temperature to user-setting level." This morning I walked in and the room temperature was 63 degrees while the outside temperature is 39 degrees! It doesn't make sense to me that the unit would select a cooling operation when it's colder outside than it is inside. I guess I don't understand the purpose of AUTO mode, and I'll go back to using only HEAT or COOL. But then I have to constantly adjust the temperature setting, or power off entirely when the room is comfortable.
We just had a units installed in the last couple weeks in two rooms, I noticed today only one of the remotes shows the temperature. Are they both suppose to?
How do you turn the heat on? It’s on the “Sun Mode”...but heat isn’t turning on...any help would be great as it’s winter...ANYONE. I think it’s set to who lived here before us...HELP!
The sun mode is heat mode, so it's weird that it is not turning on. It could be an outdoor temperature issue, it sometimes can be too cold for the heat pump to operate. If not I would call someone to get it checked out.
That's why this video was posted! But there also instructions in the manual if you have it. If you don't, they're available online. www.daikinac.com/content/resources/manuals/operation-manuals/
Hi, thank you for this video. Does this remote display the current temperature in the room? Or does the unit itself have a temperature display? Thank you. I couldn't find it in the video or the manual.
my remote is not the same as yours. my unit is brand new, first use today. still don't know how to keep the room cool, not cold and not have it run nonstop. where to get that info? So far no one can tell me and the manual does not explain well.
Just started renting an apartment with these units. They all have a limit of 18C(all I've used before has been 16C) and the main room never seems to get cold even though it is blowing coldish air. We've been in the apartment for 2 weeks and I haven't had to shut it off or turn the temp up because it's gotten too cold. The other bedroom units however, when set and running for a long time don't cool down as even though it's set to cold mode they seem to only be blowing in a fan mode with room temp air. Is there any suggestions to check these out? They were supposed to have been cleaned and serviced before we moved in, is there a way something happened during this?
I have a Daikin 9000BTU in a room that is 300sqft. It was just installed and does not bring the temps below 69F and even takes a long time to get there. Is there something wrong? I even maxxed out the fan!
There’s a lot of stuff on here that he didn’t explain like the eco-mode. Now I know what it does but it slows down the fan at the condenser so it’s so moving refrigerant just not at full capacity and saves the homeowner energy
in 2018 we bought a 24000 btu mini-split . Model 3MXL240MVJU-is there any way to set or raise the temperature in the DRY mode??? find the air blowing from the unit TOO COLD. thanks.
I have what appears to be the same system as showcased in this video. Brand new. Just installed in November. Tried to use cooling just yesterday and no cold air coming out. Just warm air. The guys are coming on Monday but there are no remote issues, no error codes, the area near the heads and the outside unit are clear. Everything appears fine. What the heck is going on.
This could have been an excellent video overview but hold the remote still enough for a longer period of time so viewers can actually see what you are going to do or what you did do.
The heat symbol no longer shows on my remote. Any idea how to fix? I have used it many times and this is the first time it has just dissapeared from modes all together.
awesome video, hoping you can help please. i have this same unit. i set it to heat put it at 21 degrees, auto fan speed and 3d airflow. but nothing is happening? if i raise to say 26 degrees it does nothing for a while and then kicks in and everything works as the control is set to. I then go back down to 21 and everything stops again. It not cool outside here yet but just testing. any ideas?
Hello Paul I have the same remote control MODEL Mini Split Model NUMBER: RXS09LVJU + FTXS09LVJU Heat pump System. Remote control model ARC452A21. The heat option does not appear on the remote controller! Would you happen to know why? Do you know how I may fix it? Thank You very much
is there anyway to have the cooling air go continuously even though it’s already that temperature in the room. Mine cool air wont work because it’s already cool in my room.
It’s all a little hard to see, however, very helpful when no Manuel in the apartment. I’m guessing they should’nt smell moldy, (it’s been cleaned) should it sound like an ✈️ during takeoff! Argh. Where I live they don’t care so 🤷🏼♀️
All I have is what looks like 2 rain drops..then click mode it goes to nothing …click it again and a sun appears..click again then no icons at all ..click again …same thing .. then click again and back to rhe 2 rain drop icon … I just want this remote to be like the other rooms … is there a way to reset everything ??? Like completely???
I hope you can help my PTP. I read all comments before I asked and didn't find my answer. If it is set on the mode for removing humidity (rain drops), then is the heat/cool mode controlled as if it were in automatic mode (A)?
Hey Malisa, for the most part if it is in the dry mode you are talking about it will be in cooling mode. It doesn't really apply to heating. Hope this answers your question. Thank you for watching.

Excellent video thank you so much I just got a Daikin mini split inverter installed yesterday it's badass I have it in my man cave so that I could do my cuckoo clocks as I named my new business America's Cuco absolutely epic for a president like you know the thing
Thanks for watching!
Well done, thank you. Could you do a video on installing a thermostat for the unit that would operate from wifi? We would like to be able to monitor inside temp of our cabin from another location. Thx!
Hi Don, we'll definitely look into it! Thanks for the support!
We bought a Cielo Breez that works with the Daiken at our cabin so we can pre-heat or pre-cool from home via Wi-Fi. Works great!
thank you, very helpful!
life saver!
Thanks for watching!
How do you change from Fahrenheit to Celcius?

Fantastic!
Thanks for watching!
I watched this whole video and you left out the timer feature!
THIS!! I’m looking for this!
Yeah me too. Suddenly mine started coming on in the mornings; or not kicking in unless I hit powerful. I think maybe I accidentally activated some timers or something. I just now got it heating without using powerful but I would love to know how to just kill/reset all timers.
you missed the biggest one... how do you set the timer!
You set it to turn off at a certain time with the OFF button and setting the time in military time. You set it to turn on at a certain time with the ON button and setting the time. It took me trial and error to figure it out.
THANKS, I WAS RUNNING AROUND ASKING FOR 2LR03 BATTERIES.... JUST AAA NEEDED
Hi... Just got this in September and have a question about the auto mode... Once set to auto, it will work the heat and cold to maintain that temperature (say 75 degrees) If the garage is 88 degrees it will cool away until it hits 75 and then shuts off until it rises again say 78 degrees (not sure of the degree amount it allows for) ? Or does it go into a slow/low mode and continues to run until the power button is pushed to off? As for the cooling mode, it never shuts off (or so it seems) it just keeps cooling away? Or is it supposed shut off at say 75 degrees and it was started at 88 degrees? It NEVER seems to shut off when reaching a set temperature, sort of confusing.....
I have this same question. Trying to set mine to a pretty high cooling mode temp (80) just to help take the edge off later in the summer. But today it is only 67 in the room right now and when I turn on the unit the cold air never stops. Did you ever figure it out?
@@shelleynice5431 No, not yet... I am experimenting with it and trying some different things.. I wish one could set a parameter of say 75 to 78 and set it and forget it..
Same issue. I'm keeping a bedroom closed so a cat doesn't get to my plants. We're getting cooler nights and I wanted to maintain a temperature of 66 degrees. Set it to Auto since the manual says, "In AUTO operation, the system selects an appropriate operation mode (COOL or HEAT) based on the room and outside temperatures and starts the operation. The system automatically reselects at a regular interval to bring the room temperature to user-setting level." This morning I walked in and the room temperature was 63 degrees while the outside temperature is 39 degrees! It doesn't make sense to me that the unit would select a cooling operation when it's colder outside than it is inside. I guess I don't understand the purpose of AUTO mode, and I'll go back to using only HEAT or COOL. But then I have to constantly adjust the temperature setting, or power off entirely when the room is comfortable.
We just had a units installed in the last couple weeks in two rooms, I noticed today only one of the remotes shows the temperature. Are they both suppose to?
Does Daikin have a thermostat for the mini split?
How do you turn the heat on? It’s on the “Sun Mode”...but heat isn’t turning on...any help would be great as it’s winter...ANYONE.
I think it’s set to who lived here before us...HELP!
The sun mode is heat mode, so it's weird that it is not turning on. It could be an outdoor temperature issue, it sometimes can be too cold for the heat pump to operate. If not I would call someone to get it checked out.
Does yours work now? I need tips for mine it won’t turn on
The remote settings is difficult to use
That's why this video was posted! But there also instructions in the manual if you have it. If you don't, they're available online. www.daikinac.com/content/resources/manuals/operation-manuals/
I see the time and date displayed on the remote. Can it also be programmed for auto on/off or temperature changes?
Hi, thank you for this video. Does this remote display the current temperature in the room? Or does the unit itself have a temperature display? Thank you. I couldn't find it in the video or the manual.
Thanks for watching! Neither would actually display the current temperature in the room. The remote will only display what you set the temperature to.
When it reaches set temp is the unit suppose to turn off, mine is on continuously?
my remote is not the same as yours. my unit is brand new, first use today. still don't know how to keep the room cool, not cold and not have it run nonstop. where to get that info? So far no one can tell me and the manual does not explain well.
Just started renting an apartment with these units. They all have a limit of 18C(all I've used before has been 16C) and the main room never seems to get cold even though it is blowing coldish air. We've been in the apartment for 2 weeks and I haven't had to shut it off or turn the temp up because it's gotten too cold.
The other bedroom units however, when set and running for a long time don't cool down as even though it's set to cold mode they seem to only be blowing in a fan mode with room temp air.
Is there any suggestions to check these out? They were supposed to have been cleaned and serviced before we moved in, is there a way something happened during this?
How do I get the fan mode off and the heat on both. Cause my Daikin still doesn't say on on the top like it should
My Unit has a Clean Button, does that Clean out the Unit? It's just weird because I thought you had to clean the Unit manually.
I have a Daikin 9000BTU in a room that is 300sqft. It was just installed and does not bring the temps below 69F and even takes a long time to get there. Is there something wrong? I even maxxed out the fan!
This unit is soooo annoying!
Why not have the readout on the head like all the others?
There’s a lot of stuff on here that he didn’t explain like the eco-mode. Now I know what it does but it slows down the fan at the condenser so it’s so moving refrigerant just not at full capacity and saves the homeowner energy
My unite doesn’t produce cold air anymore even tho it’s on cold mode. What could be the problem ?
How do I get it to be constant I hate the time thing I mess with it and it just periodically comes on for a short amount of time
Can we control this model through mobile app and WiFi
There is a wifi adapter that can be installed in the unit, and yes there is an app that works with it.
in 2018 we bought a 24000 btu mini-split . Model 3MXL240MVJU-is there any way to set or raise the temperature in the DRY mode??? find the air blowing from the unit TOO COLD. thanks.
I have what appears to be the same system as showcased in this video. Brand new. Just installed in November. Tried to use cooling just yesterday and no cold air coming out. Just warm air. The guys are coming on Monday but there are no remote issues, no error codes, the area near the heads and the outside unit are clear. Everything appears fine. What the heck is going on.
Is every unit in the same mode? If any of the indoor units are still in heat mode cooling won't come on.
hmmmmm,,,,, its almost octobre in Canada , just had my expensive unit hooked up , only thing it does is blast freezing cold air unreal
Is there a way to set the fan to constant?
Yes if you put it in fan mode.
How can I turn the heater on. there should be a heater option for an inverter but the sun symbol does not show
Great video.
Thanks for watching!
This could have been an excellent video overview but hold the remote still enough for a longer period of time so viewers can actually see what you are going to do or what you did do.
The heat symbol no longer shows on my remote. Any idea how to fix? I have used it many times and this is the first time it has just dissapeared from modes all together.
Can you tell what should be showing on the screen for cold air
awesome video, hoping you can help please. i have this same unit. i set it to heat put it at 21 degrees, auto fan speed and 3d airflow. but nothing is happening? if i raise to say 26 degrees it does nothing for a while and then kicks in and everything works as the control is set to. I then go back down to 21 and everything stops again. It not cool outside here yet but just testing. any ideas?
How do you change from Fahrenheit to Celsius?
Hello Paul I have the same remote control MODEL Mini Split Model NUMBER: RXS09LVJU + FTXS09LVJU Heat pump System. Remote control model ARC452A21. The heat option does not appear on the remote controller! Would you happen to know why? Do you know how I may fix it?
Thank You very much
is there anyway to have the cooling air go continuously even though it’s already that temperature in the room. Mine cool air wont work because it’s already cool in my room.
You could turn the temperature on the remote down below room temp, or you could just put it in fan mode to have the cold air circulate.
Does the outdoor unit supposed to turn off when it satisfies or does it run non stop ?
If all the indoor heads are satisfied it should shut off.
Where is the room temperature on the remote?
I installed one of this customer ask me where is the room temperature I'm like I don't know
It’s all a little hard to see, however, very helpful when no Manuel in the apartment. I’m guessing they should’nt smell moldy, (it’s been cleaned) should it sound like an ✈️ during takeoff! Argh. Where I live they don’t care so 🤷🏼♀️
I have watched this several times, I'm completely confused. It's hot and I can't figure this thing out.
All I have is what looks like 2 rain drops..then click mode it goes to nothing …click it again and a sun appears..click again then no icons at all ..click again …same thing .. then click again and back to rhe 2 rain drop icon … I just want this remote to be like the other rooms … is there a way to reset everything ??? Like completely???
Thanks
What could be the problem if one of the remote won’t go into auto mode
Is using the fan with a wood stove an acceptable function.
Will it filter the air as well.as.circulate
@@1jgaccount2 Yes
I hope you can help my PTP. I read all comments before I asked and didn't find my answer. If it is set on the mode for removing humidity (rain drops), then is the heat/cool mode controlled as if it were in automatic mode (A)?
Hey Malisa, for the most part if it is in the dry mode you are talking about it will be in cooling mode. It doesn't really apply to heating. Hope this answers your question. Thank you for watching.
