    Question calling bobjob: Ducted Daikin minisplit underperforming in heat mode



    I'm having trouble similar to that jutty described in this post.

    In short, I have a newly installed 2-ton Daikin SkyAir ducted minisplit, and it seems to be delivering about 25% of the heat output it should be. System charge is correct and static pressure is at .21" WC (specified range is .20-.80.) Daikin is not moving very quickly to help solve the problem.

    Response 6 to the above post came from forum user bobjob, who said you could diagnose hot air short cycling by monitoring the temperatures from the remote controllers. I know how to get to the screen to see the temperatures, but I don't know what pattern would indicate hot air short cycling. Can you explain?

    Thanks.

    moniter temps on a hard wired controller by setting mode 41, will show you return air, controller temp and coil temp- might be better using setting mode 10 for enabling th sensor in the remote control, and setting the ceiling height to a higher value so you get more air from the unit

    controller manual has setting mode 10 in
    yo get to setting 41 - access setting mode 10 then press and hold the same button to access 40, temp up to display 41, 00- return air 01 remote controller air 02 pipe sensor on coil
    search daikin setting codes on this forum

    Thanks. I know how to get the temperatures out of the controller, and it's a ducted unit, so there isn't a setting for ceiling height. My questions are:
    1) what pattern of temperatures indicates hot cycling
    2) if the unit is hot cycling, what is the fix?

    Thanks again.

    increase static duct pressure setting
