 Preparation
Prepare the following

(1) Personal computer with the following specifications.

PC type :
MS Windows base PC
OS :
Windows 95/98/98SE/NT4.0/Xp/Vista/7 (32bit)
Serial Port :
RS-232C or USB-RS232C / PC card-RS232C adapter

(2) If the Checker TYPE 3 is connected to DIII-NET terminal for VRV-system air conditioners for
building, make up DIII-NET connecting cables as follows.

Procedures
Prepare the following signal wires. (Refer to the below notes.)
When connecting to an outdoor unit, it is appropriate for the signal wires to have 2 m in
length. When connecting to an indoor unit or wiring indoor from the outdoor unit, it is
possible to lengthen the signal wires within the limits of the DIII-NET length.
For control signal wiring, use vinyl cords or cables with two-core and sheathed as follow.
Vinyl cabtyre cylindrical cord VCTF JISC3306
Vinyl-insulated vinyl sheathed cable for control CVV JISC3401
Vinyl-insulated vinyl sheathed, cylindrical cable for control CVS JISC3401
Vinyl-insulated vinyl sheathed, cylindrical cable VVR JISC3342
600V vinyl cabtyre cable VCT JISC3312
(Note) Please do not use shielded cable.
Cautions:
1. Do not use multiple-cored wires with 3 cores or more.
2. Use wires with a cross section of 0.75mm2 -1.25mm2.
3. Do not make wires bound in control- signal wiring. Do not make
long-distance wiring by having signal wires bound packed with tapes,
tie-laps and the like.
4. Wire the signal wires away from power lines to prevent the effects of
electric noise. Since Daikin’s air conditioners and related products will
generate much lower electric noises, it allows to have a distance of
minimum 50mm between the power lines and the control signal wires.

1. In the CSV file, one file per an air conditioner is output. In case of one outdoor unit and
eight indoor units, one CSV file for the outdoor unit and eight CSV files for the eight indoor
units are output respectively.
2. If the size of CSV file has become bigger because of being recorded for a long time and
resultantly, the integrated application software can not read in by one file, the file may be
divided into multiple files automatically.

* Estimated time in CSV data processing

In the DIII-NET connection, if one outdoor unit and eight indoor units are periodically
recorded at intervals of 5 seconds for 3.8 days, the file size of the operation data will be
approximately 32MB. The CSV file size for the outdoor unit and the indoor units becomes
approximately 29MB and 5MB.
(Since the size of CSV file depending on the model of an air conditioner and its capability
respectively, note that the above time is only an estimation.)
