Daikin ARC433B46, B47 Remote Controller
This document describes the Daikin ARC433B46 and ARC433B47 remote controllers, which are used to operate Daikin air conditioning units. The remote controller allows users to manage various functions of the air conditioner, including operation mode, temperature, fan speed, and timer settings.
Function Description
The remote controller serves as the primary interface for controlling the air conditioning unit. It transmits signals to the indoor unit to initiate, modify, or terminate operations. The display on the remote controller shows the current settings, providing visual feedback to the user.
Key Functions:
- ON/OFF Operation: Starts and stops the air conditioner.
- Mode Selection: Allows selection of various operation modes: AUTO, DRY, COOL, HEAT, and FAN.
- Temperature Adjustment: Enables users to set their desired temperature.
- Fan Speed Setting: Controls the airflow rate, offering multiple levels including an "AUTO" setting and a "Quiet" setting for reduced noise.
- Timer Functions: Includes OFF TIMER and ON TIMER for scheduled operation, as well as a TIMER CANCEL function.
- Specialized Operations:
- ECONO Operation: Enables efficient operation by lowering the maximum power consumption.
- POWERFUL Operation: Quickly maximizes cooling or heating effect for rapid temperature changes.
- QUIET Operation (Outdoor Unit): Reduces the noise level of the outdoor unit, particularly useful at night.
- MOLD PROOF Operation: Reduces mold spread by using fan mode to lower humidity inside the indoor unit after cooling or dry mode.
- INTELLIGENT EYE Operation: Utilizes an infrared sensor to detect human movement, enabling energy-saving operations when no one is in the room.
- HOME LEAVE Operation: Allows users to record and recall preferred temperature and airflow rate settings for energy saving or convenience.
- COMFORT AIRFLOW Operation: Adjusts the flap position to prevent air from blowing directly on occupants, enhancing comfort.
- Airflow Direction Adjustment: Controls both horizontal (flap) and vertical (louvers) airflow direction, including a 3-D Airflow function for comprehensive air circulation.
- Clock Setting: Allows setting the current time on the remote controller.
- RESET Function: Restarts the unit if it freezes, typically requiring a thin object to push the button.

Multi System Notes:
- Operation Mode Priority: In a multi-system, the first indoor unit turned on sets the operation mode priority. Other units must operate in a compatible mode or will enter standby.
- POWERFUL Operation Priority: If the priority room uses POWERFUL operation, capacity will be concentrated there, potentially reducing efficiency in other rooms.
- OUTDOOR UNIT QUIET Priority: Setting the priority room to QUIET operation activates outdoor unit quiet operation for the entire system.
- NIGHT QUIET Mode (Cooling Only): Reduces outdoor unit noise at night. Requires initial programming. Activates when temperature drops 5°C or more below the day's highest.
- Cooling / Heating Mode Lock (Heat Pump Models): Sets all indoor units to a forced Cooling or Heating mode. Requires initial programming.
Maintenance Features
- Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the remote controller display begins to fade or reception deteriorates.
- Cleaning: Wipe off dust from the signal transmitter or receiver with a soft cloth to maintain sensitivity.
- Air Filter Cleaning: Clogged air filters cause inefficient operation. Clean them once every two weeks.
- Long-Term Storage: If the air conditioner will not be used for a long period (e.g., spring or autumn), turn off the breaker and remove batteries from the remote controller.
Attention Points:
- Avoid direct sunlight exposure to the remote controller.
- Signal communication may be affected by electronic-starter-type fluorescent lamps.
- If the remote controller accidentally operates another appliance, move the appliance or consult the shop.
- In case of a power failure or breaker turn-off, timer settings may need to be reset.
