Daikin Schedule Mode is a powerful feature that allows you to program and control weekly schedules for up to 128 indoor units, providing unparalleled flexibility and convenience in your heating and cooling operations. This mode is available in Daikin’s DST301BA61 Schedule Timer, a versatile device that can be connected and controlled using a 2-conductor, stranded, non-shielded copper cable with a PVC or vinyl jacket, and AWG18 gauge. The Schedule Timer is equipped with a sequential operation function that sequentially turns indoor units on in 2-second intervals during unified operation, reducing the load on the power supply equipment.

Understanding the Daikin Schedule Mode
