To avoid electric shock, be sure to disconnect the power
supply 1 minute or more before servicing the electrical
parts. Even after 1 minute, always measure the voltage at
the terminals of main circuit capacitors or electrical parts
and, before touching, be sure that those voltages are
50 V DC or less.
When service panels are removed, live parts can easily be
touched by accident. Never leave the unit unattended
during installation or servicing when the service panel is
removed.

DANGER: DO NOT TOUCH PIPING AND INTERNAL

PARTS
Do not touch the refrigerant piping, water piping or internal
parts during and immediately after operation. The piping
and internal parts may be hot or cold depending on the
working condition of the unit.
Your hand may suffer burns or frostbite if you touch the
piping or internal parts. To avoid injury, give the piping and
internal parts time to return to normal temperature or, if you
must touch them, be sure to wear protective gloves.

3. Introduction
The Daikin Configurator software is intended to be used in
combination with the EKPCCAB* USB cable.

INFORMATION
The latest available Daikin Configurator software can be
downloaded from the website:
http://www.daikineurope.com/support-and-manuals/
software-downloads/
As the functionality of the Daikin Configurator relies on
an up to date internal database, ensure to upgrade to the
latest Daikin Configurator software before making actual
connection to the unit.
