The Emura Indoor Wall Unit is now available for both single and multi-zone applications. The new FTXR18TVJUW features a 18,000 BTU cooling capacity and a 20,000 BTU heat pump. With operating ranges from 50°F - 115°F in the cooling mode and with some adjustments it offers low ambient cooling down to 14°F. With the addition of an air direction adjustment grille (KPW937E4, sold separately), it will operate in the cooling mode down to -4°F. In the heating mode, this unit can be used in many areas of the country with an operating range of 5°F - 65°F. With these operating ranges, this system becomes a year round viable option for many areas in the country.
The new Emura has a sleek, newly designed look versus other Daikin wall units currently available in the US. While Emura has been available in the UK for several years, and as a multi-zone indoor unit in the US, Daikin is now offering it for use in both single and multi-zone applications. The Emura wall unit is a beautiful addition to any space. The sleek European design of this wall unit features a curved and tapered front design. Not only has Daikin redesigned the look of the indoor wall unit, they have incorporated many technological advances into the unit! Its high end designer look is available in either Matte White (FTXR18TVJUW) or Silver (FTXR18TVJUS).
An infrared wireless remote is included with this unit for easy chair operation! Additionally, a wired wall controller, BRC944B2-A08 is also available. With the optional wireless interface, BRP072A43 adapter (sold separately), the Emura line of indoor units can be controlled from anywhere in the world with your phone or table. Simply install the adapter into the dedicated slot inside the unit, download the Daikin Comfort Control App and you are in control of your system from anywhere! It is nice to know that your space will be comfortable when you arrive home while not wasting energy while you are away. Of course the app also works from your couch! The Comfort Control App is available for use with either iOS or Android devices.
The Emura also features intelligent eye technology. The intelligent eye diverts air flow away from the people in the room so air, cold or warm, will not be blown directly on the occupants. For example, if the unit senses people to the right of the unit, the air flow will be directed to the left. Additionally, it can also tell if the room is unoccupied - if there is no movement in the room for 20 minutes, it will automatically set back. But don't worry - it can also tell if you are just dozing on the couch and it will not go into auto set back mode, so you will not get over-chilled or over-heated! Once someone enters the room or it senses movement, it will return to the original set point.
The Daikin Emura combines both vertical and horizontal auto-swing to create even air distribution throughout the entire space - even the corners with 3-D airflow This also helps eliminate stratification. Additionally, when in Comfort Mode, the flap positions itself horizontally to prevent cold air from being blown onto the occupants when cooling and turns vertically to drive the warm air towards the floor when heating.
A Multi-Monitor Lamp hidden on the bottom of the unit changes color depending on the mode of operation your unit is in. It is an easy way to see what mode your system is operating. The light can be dimmed or shut off completely.
Like all Daikin mini-splits, the new Daikin Emura wall unit connects to the outdoor unit via copper piping/line sets to heat and cool your room or zone. These lines open into a small three-inch opening through a wall or ceiling.
