The DAIKIN FBA60BA-VC2V is a premium slimline reverse cycle ducted system designed for apartments, townhouses, smaller homes, and offices where ceiling space is limited. Its ultra-low profile indoor unit makes it ideal for narrow roof cavities, bulkheads, and underfloor installations while still delivering powerful year-round heating and cooling. With 6.0kW cooling and 7.1kW heating capacity, this model is ideal for small to medium living areas, apartments, offices, and spaces around 25–45m² depending on insulation and layout. The system can modulate from 1.4kW to 7.1kW in cooling mode and from 1.4kW to 8.0kW in heating mode, helping maintain stable temperatures while reducing energy use.

Key Features & Benefits

Slimline Low-Profile Indoor Unit

The indoor unit measures only 245mm high, making it one of Daikin’s most compact ducted options for tight roof spaces and restricted ceiling cavities. Indoor dimensions are approximately 245mm high, 1000mm wide, and 800mm deep.

Premium Inverter Technology

Daikin’s Premium Slim-Line series uses a DC fan motor, cross-pass heat exchanger, and hermetically sealed swing compressor to provide smoother temperature control, quieter performance, and improved seasonal efficiency.

Improved Energy Efficiency

The system delivers an EER of approximately 3.59–3.65 and a COP of 4.15–4.26. Residential TCSPF ratings reach up to 4.58 in hot climates, while HSPF ratings reach up to 4.94, helping reduce ongoing running costs.

Automatic Airflow Adjustment

The fan speed can automatically adjust to suit the duct design, helping maintain more consistent airflow and improving comfort throughout the conditioned area.

Strong Airflow Performance

The unit provides nominal airflow of approximately 300 litres per second and offers multiple indoor fan speeds for flexible performance. Indoor sound levels are approximately 35dBA, helping maintain quiet day-to-day operation.

Compact Outdoor Unit

The outdoor unit uses a compact side-discharge design measuring approximately 595mm high, 845mm wide, and 300mm deep, allowing easier installation where outdoor space is limited.

Long Pipe Run Capability

The system supports refrigerant pipe lengths up to 50 metres, giving installers greater flexibility for apartments, townhouses, and more complex ducted layouts. Larger slimline models in the range can support longer runs.

Night Quiet Mode

Daikin’s Night Quiet Mode automatically reduces outdoor operating noise during sleeping hours and resumes normal operation in the morning, helping minimise disturbance to occupants and neighbours.

R22 Retrofit Capability

This model supports R22 retrofit applications, allowing existing pipework to often be reused when replacing older systems. This can help reduce installation time and overall project costs.

R32 Refrigerant

The system uses modern R32 refrigerant for improved efficiency and lower environmental impact compared to older refrigerants.

Single-Phase Power Supply

This model operates on standard 220–240V single-phase power, making it suitable for most residential and light commercial installations.

Australian-Made Indoor Unit

The indoor unit is specifically designed to Australian standards to better withstand harsh summer conditions and demanding local applications.

Wired Controller Included

The system is commonly supplied with Daikin’s BRC1E63 Nav Ease wired wall controller for simple temperature control, scheduling, and system management.
