The Toshiba RAV-GM1601DTP-A / RAV-GM1601ATP-A is a high static digital inverter ducted air conditioning system engineered for large residential and light commercial applications where strong airflow and long duct runs are essential. Built as part of Toshiba’s RAV-GM inverter series, it delivers powerful, energy-efficient performance with flexible installation options and advanced airflow control. With approximately 14.0kW cooling and 16.0kW heating capacity (often marketed in the ~16kW class depending on configuration), this system is ideal for large open-plan homes, offices, retail spaces, and areas around 70–110m² depending on insulation and layout.

Key Features & Benefits

High Static Pressure Performance

Designed for demanding ducted installations, the system supports external static pressure up to ~270Pa, making it suitable for long duct runs, multiple outlets, and complex zoning layouts. This ensures consistent airflow across large or multi-zone spaces.

Powerful Airflow Output

The unit delivers strong airflow performance of up to ~972 litres per second on high fan speed, helping maintain even temperature distribution throughout large homes and commercial environments.

Digital Inverter Technology

Toshiba’s DC Hybrid Inverter technology combines PAM and PWM control with a twin rotary compressor, allowing the system to adjust output based on demand. This results in smoother temperature control, reduced energy consumption, and quieter operation compared to fixed-speed systems.

Energy Efficient Operation

The system achieves an EER of approximately 3.20 and COP of around 3.86, balancing high capacity with efficient performance for year-round heating and cooling.

Flexible Installation Design

The indoor unit features a low-profile ducted chassis (approx. 298mm high), making it suitable for ceiling cavities and commercial installations. It also supports pipe runs up to ~50m and height differences up to 30m, allowing flexibility in system design.

Quiet Operation

Despite its high capacity, the system is designed for controlled noise levels, with indoor sound pressure around 50dBA and outdoor levels around 57dBA, making it suitable for both residential and commercial use.

Wired Controller Included

The system is typically supplied with a backlit wired controller (RBC-AMSU51-ES), offering simple control of temperature, fan speed, and scheduling with a clear display and intuitive interface.

R32 Refrigerant

Using modern R32 refrigerant, the system provides improved efficiency and reduced environmental impact compared to older refrigerants like R410A.

Wide Operating Range

Designed for Australian conditions, the unit operates in outdoor temperatures from approximately -15°C to 46°C (cooling) and -15°C to 24°C (heating), ensuring reliable year-round performance.

Ideal Applications

• Large homes
• Open-plan living areas
• Offices and commercial spaces
• Retail shops and showrooms
• Multi-room ducted systems
• Properties requiring long duct runs
