Key Features & Benefits

Slim Low Profile Indoor Unit

The indoor unit sits at only 250mm high, making it ideal for tight ceiling cavities and shallow bulkheads. Panasonic’s Adaptive Ducted range is designed specifically for installations where roof space is limited.

Mid Static Pressure Performance

This system is designed for moderate duct runs and multiple outlets, making it suitable for apartments and smaller homes that need more airflow than a bulkhead cassette system. It can also be installed horizontally or vertically depending on the layout.

nanoe X Air Purification

The system includes Panasonic’s nanoe X air purification technology, which helps inhibit airborne pollutants, odours, bacteria, and allergens. nanoe X can also operate independently of cooling or heating for 24-hour air purification.

Built-In Drain Pump

The unit features a built-in high-lift drain pump that can raise drainage up to 701mm from the base of the unit. This provides greater installation flexibility in ceiling cavities and difficult drainage locations.

Quiet Operation

Indoor sound pressure levels range from approximately 22dBA on low speed to 30dBA on high speed, helping maintain quiet day-to-day performance for bedrooms, apartments, and offices. Outdoor sound pressure is approximately 44dBA in heating mode.

Compact Indoor and Outdoor Units

The indoor unit measures approximately 250mm high, 800mm wide, and 730mm deep, while the outdoor unit measures approximately 695mm high, 875mm wide, and 320mm deep. This compact footprint makes the system easier to install in smaller residential spaces.

Single-Phase Power Supply

This model operates on standard single-phase power, making it suitable for apartments, townhouses, and smaller homes without requiring a 3-phase electrical upgrade.

R32 Refrigerant

The system uses modern R32 refrigerant for improved energy efficiency and lower environmental impact compared to older refrigerants.

Flexible Pipe Run Capability

The system supports pipe runs from 3 metres up to 40 metres, with a maximum height difference of up to 15–30 metres depending on installation configuration. This provides installers with greater flexibility for apartment and townhouse layouts.
