6.1 Duty cycle
The wireless DHC accessories operate in the following fre-
quency bands:
• 868,000~868,600 MHz
• 869,400~869,650 MHz
In order to safeguard operation of all devices working in this
range, it is legally required to limit the transmission time of
devices. Limiting the transmission time minimizes the risk
of interference.
The ‘duty cycle’ is the maximum transmission time. It is
the ratio of the time that a device is actively transmitting
in comparison to the measurement period (1 hour), and is
expressed as a percentage of 1 hour.
If the total amount of allowed transmission time is reached,
the DHC accessory will stop transmitting until the time limit

is reached.
For example, when a device has a duty cycle limit of 1%, it
is only allowed to transmit 36 seconds in 1 hour. After this, it
will stop transmitting until the 1 hour limit is reached.
DHC accessories fully comply to this limitation and use 2
frequency bands with a duty cycle of respectively 1 % and
10%.
During normal operation of the DHC accessories, this limit
is not usually reached. However it is possible that the limit
is reached during start-up or during a fresh installation of a
system. In this case, the LED of the accessory lights up red.
It may be non-responsive for a short period (max. 1 hour),
until the time restriction for transmission has expired. After
this period, it will operate normal again.

tion
During the reset, the DHC Access Point must be
connected to the cloud so that all data can be de-
leted. This means that the network cable must be
plugged in during the process and the LED must
light up blue continuously.
To reset the factory settings of the entire installation, the
DHC Access Point must be reset twice in succession, with-
in 5 minutes:
1. Reset the DHC Access Point as previously de-
scribed.
2. Wait at least 10 seconds until the LED permanently
lights up blue.
3. Immediately afterwards, perform the reset for the
second time by disconnecting the DHC Access
Point from the power supply again and repeating
the necessary steps.
» After the second restart, your system will be reset.
If the DHC Access Point is still visible in the app
(statuso󰀪ine),youhavetomanuallyremoveit.
To do so, proceed as follows:
1. Click on the plus symbol (+).
2. Select the menu item Add Daikin Home Controls.
3. Check if your DHC Access Point is in the list.
4. Select Remove.

the app.
8 Maintenance and cleaning
The accessory does not require you to carry out
any maintenance. Enlist the help of an expert to
carry out any repairs.
Clean the accessory using a soft, lint-free cloth that is clean
and dry. You may dampen the cloth a little with lukewarm
water in order to remove more stubborn marks. Do not use
any detergents containing solvents, as they could corrode
the plastic housing and label.

General information about radio operation Technicalspecications
9 General information about radio
operation
Radio transmission is performed on a non-exclusive trans-
mission path, which means that there is a possibility of in-
terference occurring. Interference can also be caused by
switching operations, electrical motors or defective electri-
cal devices.
The range of transmission within buildings can dif-
fer greatly from that available in the open air. Be-
sides the transmitting power and the reception
characteristics of the receiver, environmental fac-
tors such as humidity in the vicinity have an import-
ant role to play, as do on-site structural/screening
conditions.
Hereby, Daikin Europe N.V. declares that the radio equip-
ment type DHC EKRACPUR1PA is in compliance with the
Directive 2014/53/EU. The original declaration of confor-
mity is available from the EKRACPUR1PA product pages.
