Features

Streamer Technology

DAIKIN MC55VBFVM - Streamer Technology - 1
STREAMER

This technology employs a “streamer discharge”, a type of plasma discharge comprising high-speed electrons with powerful oxidative capacity, that is generated inside the air purifier. The discharge swiftly removes odours. (The high-speed electrons are generated and then adsorbed within the unit to ensure your safety.)

Streamer discharge decomposes adsorbed odour.

- Decomposition cycle that maintains deodorising capacity.

    E --> F["This cycle maintains deodorising capacity."]
    F --> G["Decomposition"]
    G --> H["Streamer discharge decomposes odour."]
    H --> A

Streamer operation is conditional on the degree of air impurity.

During operation, the streamer discharge may generate a hissing sound, however, this does not indicate a defect.

In addition, the sound may lessen or change in tone depending on the operating environment, however, such changes are normal.

In some cases the air outlet may emit a slight odour as trace amounts of ozone are generated. However, the amount is negligible and is not harmful to your health.

Active plasma ion technology

• Increases skin moisture content

Evaluation method: Skin moisture content of 8 healthy women with sensitivity to skin dryness was measured in approx. 10m^2 room in the presence and absence of active plasma ion generation

Measurement agency: Soiken, Inc.

Test number: MII-2010-10

Results: Skin moisture content increased 1.8 times over approx. 120 minutes

- Actual effects vary by operating environment and usage patterns.

Controlling PM2.5

These results were obtained in a 32m^3 airtight space. They are not demonstrable effects in customer environments.

Elimination of 99% of 0.1-2.5μm particles (\*1).

  • Does not take into account inflow of new particles from outdoors owing to ventilation etc.
  • PM2.5 is a generic term for particulate matter that is 2.5 m or less in size.
  • Elimination of particulate matter that is less than 0.1 m in size by this air purifier has not been verified.

This product cannot eliminate all airborne toxic substances.

(*1) Test methodology: The Japan Electrical Manufacturers' Association standard (JEM1467)

Decision criteria: Elimination of 99% of 0.1-2.5μm particulate matter in a 32m³ airtight space in 90 minutes or less.

① About the child proof lock lamp

- When lit up, operations will be restricted. When buttons are pressed, only a tone (3 short beeps) will sound, preventing misoperation by small children. ▶Page 13

② About the streamer lamp

- This lamp lights up when the streamer is operating. The streamer operates depending on the degree of air impurity.

- If the hissing sound generated by the streamer discharge or the smell of ozone bother you, set streamer output to low. ▶Page 14

3 About the dust sensor lamp / PM2.5 INDICATOR lamp

- After operation is started, the lamp will light green for the first minute (approx.) regardless of air impurity level.

- The responsiveness of the dust/PM2.5 sensor may be poor during FAN setting "Turbo" or when airflow is high in AUTO FAN MODE. The strong airflow causes dust to be drawn into the air inlets before it can be detected by the dust/PM2.5 sensor. This is normal (not a malfunction).

- If the responsiveness of the dust/PM2.5 sensor is poor, change the sensitivity setting of the sensor. ▶Page 15

4 About the odour sensor lamp

  • If operation is started immediately after the power supply plug is inserted, the lamp will light green for the first minute (approx.).
  • If odour intensity levels are unchanging, the sensor may not respond even if there is a strong odour in the air.
  • The sensor may not respond to some odours such as pet odours (excluding ammonia), garlic odour, etc.
  • As odour perception varies by person, in some cases an odour may be sensed even when the lamp is green. If the odour bothers you, switch to manual airfl ow rate, and select a high airfl ow rate. ▶Page 10

The ambient odour level in the first minute after the unit is plugged in serves as the reference level upon which the sensitivity of the odour sensor is determined. Insert the power supply plug when the air is clean (odour-free).

Dust/PM2.5 sensor detection range

MODE Usage and Function

Automatic airflow rate adjustment

AUTO FAN

FAN setting (Quiet, Low, Standard, High) is automatically adjusted according to the degree of air impurity.

Purifying capacity increases as airflow rate rises.

- Degree of air impurity corresponds to the volume of dust and the intensity of odours in the ambient air.

Saving energy

In Power saving mode within ECONO MODE, the FAN setting automatically switches between Quiet and Low only. Power consumption (*1) and operating sounds are reduced. If the air is clean, after a short while, Monitoring mode automatically activates. Recommended for use during sleep hours.

*1 By comparison to AUTO FAN MODE (approx. 10.3Wh), power consumption in ECONO MODE (approx. 6.7Wh) is approx. 3.6Wh lower.

Test conditions: operation in 10m^2 area over 1 hour. Assuming 1 cigarette was smoked immediately after the unit was turned on.

ECONO

Power saving mode Monitoring mode

FAN setting switches automatically between Quiet and Low.

If the air is clean, after a short while...

DAIKIN MC55VBFVM - Power saving mode Monitoring mode - 1

If dust or odours are detected...

• The fan starts and stops periodically. Dust and odours are monitored.

- The following functions are turned off, further reducing power consumption.

Streamer OFF

Active plasma ion OFF

• As the FAN setting is limited to Quiet and Low, air purifying capacity is reduced.
- As air is not drawn in when the fan has stopped, the dust/PM2.5 sensor, and odour sensor reduce in sensitivity. To prevent this reduction in sensitivity, turn Monitoring mode OFF ▶ Page 16
• FAN setting is adjusted automatically. Airflow cannot be adjusted manually.

ANTI- POLLEN

Reducing pollen levels

A gentle air current is created by switching every 5 minutes between the FAN setting Standard and Low so that pollen can be drawn in and caught before it reaches the floor.

• FAN setting is adjusted automatically. Airflow cannot be adjusted manually.

Please check the following before contacting the place of purchase.

Q: The dust/PM2.5 sensor seems to have poor sensitivity...

A: Perform periodic cleaning of the dust/PM2.5 sensor as dirt on its lens can lead to poor sensitivity. ▶Page 17
In addition, the response time of the dust/PM2.5 sensor varies depending on room size. Make adjustments in accordance with the procedure for setting dust/PM2.5 sensor sensitivity. ▶Page 15
The responsiveness of the dust/PM2.5 sensor may be poor during FAN setting "Turbo" or when airflow is high in AUTO FAN MODE.
The strong airflow causes dust to be drawn into the air inlet before it can be detected by the dust/PM2.5 sensor. This is normal (not a malfunction).

These lamps may blink if the unit is operated without a part attached. [If one or more parts are not attached]→ Remove the power supply plug, reattach the parts and then turn the unit on again. [If all parts are attached]An electrical component is faulty.→ Contact the place of purchase.Is there a buildup of dust on the pre-fi iter?[If there is a dust buildup] ▶Page 17→ Remove the power supply plug, clean the pre-filter and then turn the unit on again. [If there is no dust buildup]An electrical component is faulty.→ Contact the place of purchase.Is the air outlet blocked?[If the air outlet is blocked]→ Remove any obstacles blocking the air outlet and then turn the unit on again. [If the air outlet is not blocked]An electrical component is faulty.→ Contact the place of purchase.
[04XC]These lamps may blink if there is a sudden drop in voltage.The lamps will return to their previous condition once voltage returns to normal.Voltage range protection: 180V-264V
The dust sensor lamp remains orange or redThe PM2.5 INDICATOR lamp remain red, purple or brown.[48X]Is there a buildup of dust in or around the air intake for the dust/PM2.5 sensor?→ Vacuum off any dust from the air intake using a cleaner. ▶Page 17Is the cover detached from the air intake for the dust/PM2.5 sensor?→ Securely attach the cover. ▶Page 17Is the lens for the dust/PM2.5 sensor dirty?→ Wipe off dirt from the lens using a dry cotton bud or similar. ▶Page 17Is the pre-fi iter dirty? Page 17→ Clean these parts.After cleaning, the unit will return to normal operation a short while after being turned on.
There is an odour but the odour sensor lamp remains green[847C]Did an odour emerge around the time you inserted the power supply plug?→ The sensitivity of the odour sensor will be determined by odour levels in the fi rst minute (approx.) after the power supply plug is inserted.When the air is clean (i.e. there are no odours), remove the power supply plug. Wait at least 5 seconds then reinsert the power supply plug and turn the unit on again. This process adjusts the reference odour level that determines the sensitivity of the odour sensor.
Sometimes the streamer lamp does not light up[04TX]The streamer may cease operating depending on the degree of air impurity.The streamer lamp turns off when the streamer ceases operating. ▶Page 14
?Is streamer output set to Low?→ When set to Low, the streamer operates for a shorter time compared to when it is set to Regular. ▶Page 14Is the unit operating in ECONO MODE?→ The streamer lamp does not light up when the unit is in Monitoring mode. ▶Page 12
The streamer lamp blinks even though the streamer unit has been replaced[1064]After replacement, was the power supply plug inserted while pressingFAM on the unit? ▶Page 19Is the streamer unit's connector properly installed?[In case of improper installation]→ Pull out the power supply plug, reattach the connector, and attempt operation again. ▶Page 19[In case of proper installation]An electrical component is faulty.→ Contact the place of purchase.

Troubleshooting

■ Air purifying function

Phenomenon Check points
Air purifying capacity is reducedIs the unit positioned in a place where airflow cannot reach or surrounded by obstacles?→ Choose a position that is obstacle-free and from where airflow can reach all areas of the room.Is the pre-fi liter or dust collection filter dirty?→ Clean these parts. ▶Page 17, 18
The air outlet is emitting an odourIs the deodorising filter dirty?→ Clean these parts. ▶Page 18In some cases the air outlet may emit a slight odour as trace amounts of ozone are generated. However, the amount is negligible and is not harmful to your health.Is the room filled with odours due to cooking or several people smoking together etc?→ The odour will gradually fade as the unit operates.Have you moved the unit from another room?→ The unit may emit the odour of the room in which it was used previously.Let the unit run a while longer.Is there anything in the room that is giving off an odour continuously?(Paint, new furniture, wallpaper, sprays, cosmetics, chemicals)→ As continuously emitted odours cannot be completely eliminated, you should ventilate the room at the same time or run the unit in a well-ventilated room for a short while.
No air is being emittedIs the air outlet or an air inlet blocked?If they are not blocked, an electrical component is faulty.→ Contact the place of purchase.

Other

Phenomenon Check points
The fan stops midway through unit operationWhen the unit switches to Monitoring mode during operation in ECONO MODE, the fan turns on and off repeatedly. ▶Page 12
Are the pre-fi iter, outfl ow grille, and dust collection fi Iter attached before the unit is operated?The fan is confi gured to stop in order to protect electrical components if a part is not properly attached.→If a part is not attached, unplug the unit and attach all parts before turning the unit on again.
The sound of streamer discharge can no longer be heardThe streamer may cease operating depending on the degree of air impurity. ▶Page 14
Is streamer output set to Low? ▶Page 14
There is interference on our TV screenIs the TV or radio positioned within 2m of the unit, or is an indoor antenna positioned near the unit?Are the power supply cord or antenna cable of the TV or radio routed near the unit?→Keep the unit as far as possible from the TV, radio, or antenna.
Just inserting the power plug causes operation to startDid you disconnect the power plug during a power failure, or when a sudden voltage fl uctuation occurred, to move the unit or disconnect the power plug during the last operation?→The auto-restart function automatically resumes operation.
