Air-Quality Technology
The FTXM20Y uses three complementary filtration technologies:
A washable prefilter captures larger airborne particles.
The Enzyme Blue deodorising filter helps reduce odours.
Streamer technology uses high-speed electrons to assist with the decomposition of trapped allergens, mould, odours and other pollutants.
Mould-Proof operation dries the interior of the indoor unit after cooling or dry operation, helping reduce conditions that can contribute to mould and odour development.
Included Components
FTXM20YVMA wall-mounted indoor unit
RXM20YVMA outdoor unit
Backlit wireless remote controller
Internal wireless LAN adaptor
Important Information
The Wi-Fi adaptor is factory fitted, so an additional BRP-series adaptor is not required.
Smartphone operation requires a compatible wireless network and the supported Daikin application.
Professional installation by a suitably licensed air-conditioning technician is required.
Room suitability depends on insulation, glazing, ceiling height, orientation and local climate; a professional heat-load assessment is recommended.
