The DAIKIN FBA85B-CC2Y is a slim-line reverse cycle ducted system designed for apartments, townhouses, medium-sized homes, and offices where ceiling space is limited but 3-phase power is available. 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 only 245mm high, making it ideal for tight roof spaces and restricted ceiling cavities. Indoor dimensions are approximately 245mm high, 1400mm wide, and 800mm deep, while the outdoor unit measures approximately 990mm high, 940mm wide, and 320mm deep.

3-Phase Power Supply

This model operates on 380–415V 3-phase power, making it suitable for homes and light commercial properties with 3-phase electrical supply. It helps spread electrical demand more evenly across circuits compared to equivalent single-phase systems.

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 cooling and heating efficiency similar to Daikin’s standard 8.5kW inverter ducted range, with an EER of approximately 3.36 and COP of 3.57. This helps reduce ongoing running costs while maintaining strong heating and cooling performance.

Strong Airflow Performance

The unit provides nominal airflow of approximately 533 litres per second with multiple indoor fan speeds available for flexible operation. Indoor sound levels are approximately 40dBA at 1.5 metres, helping maintain quiet day-to-day performance.

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 BRC1E63 Nav Ease wired wall controller for simple temperature control, scheduling, and system management. Optional zoning controllers are also available.

Ideal Applications

• Apartments
• Townhouses
• Medium-sized homes
• Home offices
• Small commercial spaces
