operation mode, or
operating in normal

▪ LED flashing: LAN
adapter performing a
Smart Grid compatibility
check.
(a) This LED is ONLY active for BRP069A61 (present for
BRP069A62, but ALWAYS inactive).
INFORMATION
▪ The DIP switch is used to configure the system. For
more information, see "7Configuration"on page14.
▪ When the LAN adapter performs a Smart Grid
compatibility check, LD4 flashes. This is NOT
erroneous behaviour. After a successful check, LD4 will
either stay ON or go OFF. When it keeps flashing for
more than 30 minutes, the compatibility check failed,
and NO Smart Grid operation is possible.
2.1 Compatibility
Make sure your Daikin Altherma system is compatible for use with
the LAN adapter (app control and/or Smart Grid applications). For
more information, see the installer reference guide of the Daikin
Altherma system.
2.2 System layout
Integrating the LAN adapter into a Daikin Altherma system allows for
the following applications:
▪ App control (only)
▪ Smart Grid application (only)
▪ App control + Smart Grid application

INFORMATION
▪ For an overview of the possible system layouts, see
"2.2 System layout" on page 3. For more information
about the electrical wiring, see "4.2 Overview of
electrical connections"on page8.
▪ The function of the router in the system depends on the
system layout. In case of app control (only), the router
is a mandatory system component, required for the
communication between Daikin Altherma system and
smartphone. In case of Smart Grid application (only),
the router is NOT a mandatory component, but only
used for configuration purposes. In case of app control
+ Smart Grid application, you need the router both as a
system component and for configuration purposes.
▪ The smartphone and Online Controller app are used to
perform a LAN adapter software update (if required).
Therefore, ALWAYS take a smartphone plus app to the
installation site, also when the adapter is only used for
the Smart Grid application.
▪ Some tools and components might already be available
on site. Before going on site, find out which
components are already at hand, and which ones you
need to provide (e.g. router, electricity meter, …).

4.2.1 Router
Make sure the LAN adapter can be connected via a LAN connection.
The minimum category for the Ethernet cable is Cat5e.
The function of the router in the system depends on the system
layout.
System layout Function
App control (only) The router is a mandatory
system component, required for
the communication between
Daikin Altherma system and
smartphone.
For more information, see
"2.2System layout"on page3.
Smart Grid application (only) The router is NOT a mandatory
system component, but only
used as a tool for configuration
purposes.
For more information, see
"7Configuration"on page14.
App control + Smart Grid
application
The router is both a mandatory
system component (app

INFORMATION
It is recommended to connect the LAN adapter to the

4.2.2 Indoor unit
For power and communication with the indoor unit, the LAN adapter
is connected to the indoor unit's P1/P2 terminals via a 2‑wire cable.
There is NO separate power supply: the adapter gets its power from
the indoor unit's P1/P2 terminals.
4.2.3 Electricity meter
If the LAN adapter is connected to an electricity meter, make sure it
is an electrical pulse meter.
Requirements:

4.2.4 Solar inverter/energy management
system
INFORMATION
Before installation, confirm that the solar inverter/energy
management system is equipped with the digital outputs
required to connect it to the LAN adapter. For more
information, see "8Smart Grid application"on page17.
Connector X1A is for the connection of the LAN adapter to the digital
outputs of a solar inverter/energy management system, and allows
for the integration of the Daikin Altherma system in a Smart Grid
application.
X1A/N+L supply a 230VAC detection voltage to the input contact of
X1A. The 230 V AC detection voltage enables the detection of the
state (open or close) of the digital inputs and does NOT supply
power to the rest of the LAN adapter PCB.
Make sure X1A/N+L are protected by a fast acting circuit breaker
(rated current 100mA~6A, type B).

available on the solar inverter/energy management system and/or on
the Smart Grid operation modes that you want the system to run in.
For more information, see "8Smart Grid application"on page17.
5 Installation
5.1 Overview: Installation
The installation of the LAN adapter consists of the following stages:
1 Mounting the rear casing to the wall
2 Mounting the PCB to the rear casing
3 Connecting electrical wiring
4 Mounting the front casing to the rear casing
5.2 Mounting the LAN adapter
5.2.1 About mounting the LAN adapter
The LAN adapter is mounted to the wall by way of the mounting
holes (a) in the rear casing. Before mounting the rear casing to the
wall, you have to remove some knockout holes (b)(c), depending on
how you want to route the wiring and insert it into the adapter.
You can route and insert the wiring from the bottom or from the rear.
Respect the following rules and restrictions:
Wiring Possibilities and restrictions
Wiring routed and inserted from
the bottom
▪ ONLY for surface wiring routed
from the bottom.
▪ When routing wiring from the
bottom, ALWAYS let it enter
the adapter via the holes in the
bottom of the casing (b). It is
NOT allowed to clamp this
wiring between the casing and
the wall and let it enter via the
holes in the rear (c).
▪ The wiring for X1A and X4A
MUST be routed and inserted
from the bottom. The wiring for
X2A and X3A CAN be routed
and inserted from the bottom
(or from the rear).
▪ When routing and inserting
wiring from the bottom,
remove the required knockout
holes in the bottom of the
casing (b) and replace them
with the grommets from the
accessory bag.
Wiring routed and inserted from
the rear
▪ ONLY for in‑wall wiring
entering the adapter from the
rear.
▪ The wiring for X2A and X3A
CAN be routed and inserted
from the rear (or from the
bottom). The wiring for X1A
and X4A CANNOT be routed
and inserted from the rear.
▪ It is NOT allowed to route
wiring from the bottom, clamp
it between the casing and the
wall, and let it enter via the
holes in the rear (c).

aMounting holes
bBottom knockout holes
cRear knockout holes
INFORMATION
Wiring from the bottom. ALWAYS replace any removed
knockout holes with the grommets delivered in the
accessory bag. Before inserting the grommets into the
holes, cut them open with a utility knife, so that you can let
the wiring enter the adapter through the grommets. The
grommets MUST be inserted into the holes before you
insert the wiring into the adapter.
NOTICE
Wiring from the rear. When removing knockout holes,
make sure to remove any sharp edges that might arise
around the holes, this to protect the wiring from damage.
INFORMATION
▪ Letting the wiring enter the adapter from the rear allows
you to hide the wiring in the wall.
▪ It is NOT possible to let the Ethernet cable enter from
the rear. The Ethernet cable is ALWAYS connected
from the bottom.
5.2.2 To mount the rear casing to the wall
1Hold the rear casing against the wall and mark the position of
the holes.
2Drill the holes.
1 2
3Mount the rear casing to the wall with the screws and plugs
from the accessory bag.
