Dropair Compatibility Check – Is Your AC Compatible? (Easy Guide)

Minimum Requirements – the following must be in place for the adapter to be compatible:How to Check if Your Air Conditioner is Compatible with Dropair Adapter

Upgrading to a smart thermostat like Nest, Ecobee, or Honeywell? Before installing the Dropair adapter, you must ensure your air conditioning system is compatible. This step-by-step guide will help you perform a Dropair compatibility check and avoid installation issues.

1. Identify Your AC System Type

Air conditioners generally fall into two categories:

Chiller Water System (100-240V Thermostat)

• If your AC unit runs on 100-240V, it uses a chiller water system.
• You will need the Dropair Pro series adapter to ensure compatibility.

Refrigerant System (2-4 Wire DC Voltage Thermostat)

• AC units operating on 2-4 wire DC voltage thermostats belong to this category.
• Further verification is required before installing the Dropair adapter.

2. Check Your AC Brand and Model

Compare your AC brand and model with Dropair’s supported brands, including:

✅ LG, Daikin, Mitsubishi, Hitachi, Hisense, Carrier, Trane, Gree, Samsung, Toshiba, and Panasonic.
If your unit is listed, proceed to the next step.

3. Verify Thermostat Wiring

Your thermostat wiring determines whether Dropair can be installed.

✅ If the existing thermostat cable can be replaced with a CAT6 cable, Dropair will work.
❌ If replacement isn’t possible, the Master and Slaver solution must be used.

4. Ensure Power Supply Availability

Your system must include:

• ✅ Two power connections
• ✅ One 568B RJ45 connector
• ✅ One indoor unit connection

If your setup meets these requirements, Dropair is likely compatible.

5. Contact Support for Assistance

If you’re unsure, send the following details to Dropair’s support team:
