What’s New with the New Generation Sensira?
The latest Sensira is much more than a change in model number. Daikin has redesigned the FTXC-E indoor unit, integrated smart connectivity and introduced a comprehensive collection of comfort and energy-management features.
A Fresh New Look Inspired by Japanese Design
One of the most noticeable changes is the appearance of the New Generation Sensira. Daikin has moved to a more refined modern angular aesthetic, giving the FTXC-E indoor unit a cleaner and more contemporary presence on the wall.
Daikin describes the design as a combination of organic and geometric forms inspired by Japanese origami art and craftsmanship. A sharp, well-defined crease forms a visual highlight through the centre of the unit before transitioning into smoother, flatter surfaces.
The combination of defined edges and clean surfaces gives the new Sensira a more precise and sophisticated appearance, while a minimalist LED indication keeps the overall look restrained.
The result is a Sensira that not only incorporates newer technology but also looks noticeably fresher, more contemporary and more refined than the previous generation.
Built-In Smart Control with Daikin ONECTA
Smart connectivity is integrated into the New Generation Sensira. The built-in Daikin network adaptor works with the Daikin ONECTA app, allowing your smartphone to function as a remote controller.
You can manage compatible air-conditioning functions from inside or outside the home, making it convenient to adjust the temperature before arriving home or check the system remotely.
20 000 BTU Cooling for Larger Spaces
The Sensira 60 is Daikin’s 20 000 BTU-class model in the New Generation range and delivers a manufacturer-rated cooling capacity of 21 300 BTU/h or 6.23 kW.
Its inverter system can vary cooling output from approximately 6 100 to 23 900 BTU/h, or 1.80 to 7.00 kW, allowing the air conditioner to adjust its output as the cooling requirements of the room change.
For customers requiring still greater capacity, the New Generation Sensira range now extends to the new Sensira 71, which provides a true 24 000 BTU-class rated cooling capacity of 24 200 BTU/h.
Daikin Inverter Technology
Daikin inverter technology continuously adjusts compressor output according to the heating or cooling demand of the room.
Rather than simply operating at maximum power and switching off, the inverter can increase or reduce output as required. This helps maintain a more consistent indoor temperature while managing electricity consumption efficiently.
A++ Seasonal Cooling Efficiency
The New Generation Daikin Sensira 20 000 BTU achieves a SEER of 6.4 and an A++ seasonal cooling efficiency rating.
Rated cooling power consumption is 1 890 W. Actual power consumption varies during normal use because the inverter continually adjusts its output according to demand.
The Sensira also incorporates ECONO mode, which can limit maximum power consumption when reduced electrical demand is preferred.
Heating as well as Cooling
The Sensira is a reverse-cycle inverter air conditioner, providing heating as well as cooling.
The Sensira 60 delivers 6.40 kW or approximately 21 800 BTU/h of rated heating capacity, with variable heating output from approximately 1.48 to 8.00 kW.
Powerful Operation
Powerful Operation temporarily increases cooling or heating performance when you want to bring the room towards the selected temperature more quickly.
ECONO Mode
ECONO mode limits maximum power consumption while allowing the air conditioner to continue maintaining room comfort.
Sleep Mode
The New Generation Sensira includes a dedicated Sleep Mode designed to prevent excessive heating or cooling during the night.
During cooling, the selected temperature is gradually increased during the first two hours. During heating, it is gradually reduced to help maintain a more comfortable sleeping environment.
Quiet Indoor Operation
The FTXC60EV1F indoor unit operates at sound pressure levels of approximately 48 / 42 / 38 / 31 dBA across its fan settings, with operation as low as 31 dBA on its Super Low setting.
High Airflow for Larger Rooms
The larger Sensira 60 indoor unit delivers airflow of up to approximately 720 CFM, helping conditioned air circulate through larger spaces.
Vertical Auto-Swing automatically moves the discharge louvres up and down to help distribute cooled or heated air throughout the room.
Air Filtration and Odour Control
The New Generation Sensira incorporates a Saranet filter together with Daikin’s Titanium Apatite Deodorising Filter.
The Saranet filter helps capture airborne dust particles, while the Titanium Apatite Deodorising Filter provides additional adsorption and deodorising performance to help reduce unwanted indoor odours.
Customers looking for Daikin’s more advanced air-treatment technology together with premium comfort and energy efficiency should also consider the Daikin Perfera range.
R32 Refrigerant
The New Generation Sensira uses R32 refrigerant, which has a substantially lower global warming potential than R410A refrigerant used in many older-generation split air-conditioning systems.
Auto Restart After a Power Failure
The Sensira can remember its operating settings following a power interruption and resume operation using its previous settings once electricity is restored.
Self-Diagnosis for Easier Servicing
The FTXC-E Series includes a self-diagnosis function with digital display, helping technicians retrieve diagnostic information when troubleshooting or servicing the system.
Designed for Easier Maintenance
The flat front panel can be removed for easier cleaning, while the larger FTXC60 and FTXC71 models also feature a removable drain pan to improve access during servicing and maintenance.
