Daikin releases Simple Touch controller

Daikin Australia has launched its new Simple Touch controller, a light commercial centralised controller featuring a touchscreen interface. The controller is compatible with Daikin’s range of VRV, SkyAir and RA air conditioning systems.

The wall-mounted controller features an 8-inch touchscreen interface, a wake/sleep button, and what Daikin describes as a minimalist, user-friendly GUI.

A single controller can connect up to 128 indoor units or 64 groups, which Daikin says allows for group, zone or unified air conditioning control. Three additional sub-controllers can be integrated into the network for operation and monitoring of systems from multiple locations.

Daikin says the controller caters to the needs of light commercial applications, with several features:

• on/off
• operation mode
• temperature setpoint
• airflow rate
• airflow direction
• weekly scheduling function
• force-off input contacts, allowing the controller to receive a signal from external devices to promptly shutdown all air conditioning systems.
