The Panasonic Adaptive Ducted 14kW S-1014PF3E / U-140PZ3R5 is a high-capacity reverse cycle ducted air conditioning system designed for larger homes, open-plan living areas, offices, and commercial spaces. With its compact indoor unit, powerful airflow, and advanced installation flexibility, it is ideal for homes where ceiling space is limited but strong whole-home performance is still required. It includes the S-1014PF3E indoor unit, U-140PZ3R5 outdoor unit, and deluxe CZ-RTC5B wired controller. With 14.0kW cooling and 16.0kW heating capacity, this model is suited to large homes, offices, and spaces around 65–100m² depending on insulation and layout. The system can modulate from approximately 3.3kW up to 16.0kW in cooling mode and from 3.3kW up to 18.0kW in heating mode for more stable temperatures and lower running costs.

Key Features & Benefits

Compact Low-Profile Indoor Unit

The indoor unit measures only 250mm high, making it ideal for tight roof cavities, shallow bulkheads, and homes where ceiling space is limited. Panasonic’s Adaptive Ducted range is designed to maximise usable ceiling height while still providing strong airflow.

Powerful High Static Performance

The system supports external static pressure up to 150Pa, allowing it to handle longer duct runs, multiple outlets, and more demanding ducted installations. Adjustable static pressure also gives installers greater flexibility to match the system to different layouts.

Strong Airflow for Larger Homes

Airflow ranges from approximately 701 litres per second on low fan speed up to 1002 litres per second on high fan speed, helping maintain even air distribution across larger homes and multiple rooms.

Single-Phase Power Supply

This model operates on standard 240V single-phase power, making it suitable for most larger homes without requiring a 3-phase electrical upgrade. Maximum outdoor running current is approximately 32.7 amps.

nanoe™ X Air Purification

Panasonic’s nanoe™ X technology works continuously to help inhibit airborne pollutants, odours, bacteria, viruses, and allergens while improving indoor air quality. The nanoe™ X function can also operate independently of cooling or heating, providing 24-hour air purification.

Flexible Installation Options

The indoor unit can be installed horizontally or vertically, making it suitable for more difficult roof spaces and custom ducted designs. Rear or bottom return air entry is also possible, helping simplify installation in a wider range of applications.

Built-In Drain Pump

The built-in high-lift drain pump can raise condensate water up to approximately 701mm, providing greater flexibility when drainage is difficult or ceiling space is restricted.

Energy Efficient Inverter Technology

The system uses Panasonic inverter technology and DC fan motors to automatically adjust output based on room conditions. This helps maintain more stable temperatures and lower operating costs. It achieves an EER of approximately 3.25 and a COP of approximately 3.76.

Wi-Fi and Smart Control Compatible

The system can be paired with Panasonic Comfort Cloud using an optional Wi-Fi adaptor, allowing remote control, energy monitoring, and scheduling from a smartphone. It is also compatible with Panasonic CONEX and wired controllers.

R32 Refrigerant

The system uses modern R32 refrigerant, which provides improved efficiency and lower environmental impact compared to older refrigerants. Panasonic’s outdoor units also feature Blue Fin corrosion protection and extended operating ranges up to 52°C outdoor temperature.

Ideal Applications
