The DAIKIN FBA85B-CC2V is a slim-line reverse cycle ducted system designed for apartments, townhouses, medium-sized homes, and offices where ceiling space is limited. Its low-profile indoor unit is ideal for narrow roof cavities, bulkheads, and underfloor installations while still delivering reliable year-round heating and cooling.
With 8.5kW cooling and 10.0kW heating capacity, this model is ideal for medium to large living areas, offices, and spaces around 35–60m² depending on insulation and layout. The system can modulate from approximately 3.2kW up to 10.0kW in cooling mode and from 3.5kW up to 11.2kW in heating mode, helping maintain stable temperatures while reducing energy use.
Key Features & Benefits
Slim-Line Low Profile Indoor Unit
The indoor unit measures approximately 300mm high, making it ideal for tight roof spaces and restricted ceiling cavities. Indoor dimensions are approximately 300mm high, 1210mm wide, and 900mm deep, while the outdoor unit measures approximately 990mm high, 940mm wide, and 320mm deep.
Single-Phase Power Supply
This model operates on standard 220–240V single-phase power, making it suitable for most residential homes and light commercial spaces without requiring 3-phase power.
Standard Inverter Technology
The system uses Daikin inverter technology with a hermetically sealed swing compressor to provide smoother temperature control, quieter performance, and lower running costs compared to fixed-speed systems.
Improved Energy Efficiency
The system delivers an EER of approximately 3.22 and a COP of 3.39, helping reduce ongoing running costs while maintaining strong heating and cooling performance. Rated power input is approximately 2.64kW in cooling mode and 2.95kW in heating mode.
Strong Airflow Performance
The unit provides nominal airflow of approximately 580 litres per second with maximum airflow around 600 litres per second. Indoor sound levels are approximately 42.0dBA in cooling mode and 42.4dBA in heating mode, helping maintain quiet day-to-day operation.
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.
Automatic Airflow Adjustment
The fan speed can automatically adjust to suit the duct design, helping maintain more consistent airflow and improve comfort throughout the conditioned area. Multiple indoor fan speed settings are also available.
Compact Outdoor Unit
The outdoor unit uses a compact side-discharge design, making it easier to install where outdoor space is limited. This makes it ideal for homes, townhouses, and properties with narrow side access.
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.
Wired Controller Included
The system is commonly supplied with Daikin’s Nav Ease wired wall controller for simple temperature control, scheduling, and system management.
