5 Features
5-1 Interlocked operation with VRV (SkyAir)
1. Simultaneous ON / OFF with the indoor unit by the indoor unit remote control.
2. HRV independent operation during air conditioning off season by the indoor unit remote control.
3. Automatic ventilation mode changeover: Auto / Heat Recovery / Bypass
4. Fan speed changeover by the indoor unit remote control: High / Low, Ultra-High / High, Ultra-High / Low
5. Precooling / heating control function setting to delay the start of ventilation during air conditioner start-up to realize the high energy
saving efficiency.
6. FRESH-UP operation setting
7. Filter sign display notifies the time for cleaning the filter
8. No need to purchase or install the HRV exclusive remote control
9. Advantage to IAQ (Internal Air Quality.)
Note:
1. 5-7 can be set at the initial setting only.
Installation Examples
Type Interlocked operation with air conditioner HRV independent operation
Structure
Features
• Simultaneous operation by air conditioner’s
remote control is available
• Fan speed can be set at the initial setting.
• Both simultaneous operation by air conditioner’s
remote control and independent operation by
HRV exclusive remote control are available
• Fan speed can be changed by switch of HRV
(High / Low, High / Ultra-high, Low / Ultra-high)
Connectable
Indoor unit VRV (all indoor unit), SkyAir (Optional connecting PCB is required.)
Daikin’s HRV Other types
Dust does not fall off from the air filter because the air supply
fan of the interlocked indoor unit remains activated even when
the HRV is operated independently.
If conventional HRV, with exclusive remote control, is directly
connected to indoor unit of air conditioner, dust may fall off
from air filter when air conditioner is OFF.

5-2 Energy Saving
Note:
1. The total heating / cooling load may vary depending on the climate or the other environmental conditions.
HRV unit recovers the thermal energy during cooling / heating operation of air
conditioner. HRV reduces the cooling / heating load drastically and enhances the
heating / cooling efficiency.
Proper use of Heat recovery ventilation and normal ventilation saves energy.
When the cooling operation is required in winter, use of heat recovery ventilation is
not efficient because the outdoor air temperature is normally lower than that of
the indoor.
Thus, the proper use of ventilation mode enhances the heating / cooling efficiency.
Automatic Ventilation mode changeover
Refer to the CONTROL for the mode changeover.
The load is reduced at startup of the air conditioner by the following control.
Before the working hour, the room air is clean.
Therefore, the startup of HRV can be delayed.
