Loading Shared Data onto Daikin Compatible Equipment

When loading Shared Data from the card onto a Daikin unit,
first turn off power to the HVAC system and insert the card
into the Shared Data loading connector on the control board
of the unit. When plugged into the unit, the card must be
powered on to function properly. A flashing blue light is an
indicator that the Bluetooth® data loader is working.
With the card plugged in, power on the HVAC system and
allow 30 seconds for the Shared Data loading process to
complete. When complete, power the equipment “off” and
retrieve the card from the unit. Turn power “on” to the
system and confirm that the Shared Data loading process was
successful, and that the system is operating normally.
