intelligent Touch Controller (iTC / iTouch) DCS601C71

 

The iTouch is our advanced centralized controller. It can control up to 64 indoor unit groups (128 indoor units). It has independent cool and heat setpoints for occupied and unoccupied conditions.

The iTouch Controller provides building owners, facilities/premises managers and maintenance operators refined and energy efficient control of Daikin VRVIII, VRV WIII, VRVIII-S and/or mixed VRVIII/VRV-IIIS/SkyAir indoor units. With its user friendly color icons and scheduling capabilities, this controller makes management of indoor units and other facilities equipment easy.  The iTouch Controller is linked directly to the system via a Daikin DIII-Net connection without the need for a PC. Supports centralized control remotely using a PC with a Web browser (Optional).

  • Group operations:
    • On/Off
    • Operation Mode (Cool, Heat, Fan, Dry)
    • Independent Cooling and Heating setpoints in the occupied mode
    • Independent Setup (Cooling) and Setback (Heating) setpoints in the unoccupied mode adjustable to 40 - 95°F (5 - 35°C)
    • Fan Speed
    • Airflow direction (dependent upon indoor unit type)
    • Setpoint Range Limitation
      • Remote controller permit/prohibit of On/Off, Mode, and Setpoint
