Chapter 1: Overview and preparation
1) Overview
Service checker is the tool which visualizes operation data (sensor readings, actuator status, operation mode,
etc.) of VRV air conditioning units.
2) Composition
Service checker consists of two main components (TYPE4 checker box, TYPE4 checker software). It works with
Windows PC which is connected to TYPE4 checker box by USB cable. It is necessary to install TYPE4 checker
software to your Windows PC before using.
•TYPE4 checker components (see 1-2-1 Essential materials)
•Windows PC (see 1-2-2 Other materials to prepare)
1-1 What’s the service checker?
[Software update]
Supporting new VRV models is realized by PC software, so it is necessary to update TYPE4 checker software
for supporting newly introduced products.
3) Purpose
•Troubleshooting, diagnosis of VRV systems (supporting diagnosis by visualized operation data)
•Commissioning of VRV systems (checking number of connected indoor units, operation condition check)
4) How to obtain TYPE4 checker box
This tool is distributed as service part from local affiliate/distributor of Daikin. Please contact your local Daikin
affiliate/distributor for purchasing TYPE4 checker box as the other spare parts.
(Note) This tool is not designed for permanent installation such as continuous monitoring or long term data
logging and such ways of using are not guaranteed. If a permanent monitoring is necessary, please consider
using remote monitoring service.

1) Required PC specification
•PC type
•Windows PC
•CPU 1GHz+, Memory 2GB+, HDD 20GB+
•Windows7 SP1 or later, Windows 8.0 /8.1 /10
•USB port
1-2-2 Other materials to prepare
2) D3-NET connection cable
D3-NET connection cable does not come with TYPE4 Checker package. Please prepare below cable to connect
TYPE4 Checker and VRV D3-NET port.
(1) Prepare the following signal wires. (Refer to the below notes.)
When connecting to an outdoor unit, it is appropriate for the signal wires to have 2 m in length. When
connecting to an indoor unit or wiring indoor from the outdoor unit, it is possible to lengthen the signal wires
within the limits of the D3-NET length.
(2) D3-NET connection terminal specification of TYPE4 Checker
For D3-NET communication wire connection, wire terminal listed
below are recommended (M3 type screw is used for terminal)
•R1.25-3 (JIS)
•R1.25-3.5 (JIS)
•R2-3.5 (JIS)
In case of use circular shaped wire terminal, please select wire
terminal which fits this terminal block.
For control signal wiring, use vinyl cords or cables with two-core and sheathed as follow.
•Vinyl cabtyre cylindrical cord VCTF JISC3306
•Vinyl-insulated vinyl sheathed cable for control CVV JISC3401
•Vinyl-insulated vinyl sheathed, cylindrical cable for control CVS JISC3401
•Vinyl-insulated vinyl sheathed, cylindrical cable VVR JISC3342
•600V vinyl cabtyre cable VCT JISC3312
Cautions:
1. Do not use multiple-cored wires with 3 cores or more.
2. Use wires with a cross section of 0.75mm2 -1.25mm2.
3. Do not make wires bound in control- signal wiring. Do not make long-distance wiring by having signal wires
bound packed with tapes, tie-laps and the like.
4. Wire the signal wires away from power lines to prevent the effects of electric noise. Since Daikin’s air
conditioners and related products will generate much lower electric noises, it allows to have a distance of
minimum 50mm between the power lines and the control signal wires.

[Warning]
In case of long term logging or using in the outdoor under rainy weather, please take appropriate
countermeasure for protection from rainwater to avoid electric shock or fire.
D3-NET connection wire
TYPE4
checker box
VRV
PC
USB cable (included)
[Connection procedure]
(1) Connect with D3-NET connection wire prepared in 1-2 Preparation part in this manual.
Please connect wire to D3-NET terminal of checker first. (If connect to D3-NET terminal of VRV and F1-F2
will be short-circuited, unit could be damaged)
(2) Connect another end of D3-NET connection wire to communication terminal (F1-F2) of VRV unit.
[Warning]
Please connect to communication terminal of VRV (outdoor unit or indoor unit) or centralized
controller. If it would be connected to power terminal, there is a possibility of fatal accident by
electric shock or damage of the unit.
[Caution]
1. It’s not necessary to correspond F1-F2 of the transmission terminal of VRV to F1-F2 of the
checker like F1-F1 or F2-F2 respectively (no polarity).
2. Recommended connection point of VRV unit is F1-F2 terminal of OUT-OUT connection of outdoor
unit, but it can be connected to indoor unit or centralized controller.
3. In case of connecting to indoor unit, please connect to the last indoor unit of the line to avoid
sub-branching.
4. To extend wiring length (up to hundreds of meters), it could cause affection to the unit’s
operation. Please be aware of electric interference such as taking enough distance from power line.

3-1 D3-NET (F1,F2) connection
https://daikin-p.ru

[Caution before using]
•When connecting to the VRV unit for the first time, the unit will change to stand-by mode for several minutes to
scan all the connected indoor and outdoor units. The system will automatically resume after finishing auto-
scanning (for 2nd time and onwards, system would not enter stand-by status by choosing saved network map).
•Data refresh interval depends on the refresh interval of connected VRV model (normally between 1 min to 5
min) regardless of data saving interval setting of checker software.
•In case of DTA109 adapter (D3-NET expander) is installed, Checker cannot collect operation data beyond the
point of DTA109 (for example, if you connect Checker in main bus, operation data of VRV systems in branch bus
cannot be monitored).
•If Wiring Adaptor for Electrical Appendices (1) or (2) (KRP2A or KRP4A) are installed to the same D3-NET line, an
error will be displayed to BMS or other centralized control system. To avoid this error, it is necessary to prohibit
centralized control function of checker software (see 7-3-2 Prohibit/permit centralized control).
