Powerful & Reliable Performance: Operating on 230/208V, the unit delivers a cooling power of 1190/1160 watts and an electric heating output of 3,500 watts, making it ideal for demanding environments.
Maximum Cooling BTU: The unit can cool a room up to a maximum capacity of 12,400 BTUs, making it ideal for medium to large-sized rooms.
Minimum Cooling BTU: The cooling capacity can go as low as 12,200 BTUs, providing a reliable cooling range under varying conditions.
Cooling EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio): The unit operates with an EER of 10.4/10.5, indicating a moderate to high level of energy efficiency, converting cooling energy input into effective output. This means you get more cooling power per unit of electricity consumed.
Cooling Amperes: The unit draws 6.1 amps when operating at maximum cooling capacity and 5.8 amps when running at minimum capacity.
Cooling Watts: The cooling wattage required for maximum and minimum cooling is 1190 watts and 1160 watts, respectively, ensuring that the system is not overly power-hungry while providing ample cooling.
Heating Watts (Electric Resistance):The unit includes a 3.5 kW electric heat kit, delivering 3500 watts of heating power, ensuring warm comfort even in cooler weather.
Maximum Voltage: This is the maximum voltage rating the unit can handle, typically used in regions with 230V electrical systems.
Minimum Voltage: The unit can also operate at 208V, ensuring compatibility with a broader range of electrical setups in different regions.
Fan Speeds: The unit offers two fan speeds for both cooling and heating modes, as well as a fan-only setting to provide airflow without heating or cooling. This flexibility helps adjust the room environment to your comfort needs.
Fan Motor: The unit operates with a single fan motor, which drives the fan for all modes (cooling, heating, fan-only).
Temperature Range: The adjustable temperature range is set between 62°F and 80°F, providing ample flexibility for controlling indoor temperatures to suit varying comfort levels throughout the year.
Chassis Type: The unit features a slide-in chassis, which makes it easier to install and remove the unit for maintenance.
Installation Type: The unit is designed for through-the-wall installation, making it a common choice for hotels, apartments, or buildings where external space for air conditioning units is unavailable.
Discharge Grille: The 2-position discharge grille allows you to adjust the direction of the air output for optimal room circulation, ensuring the cooling or heating effect is distributed evenly.
Outdoor Vent / Exhaust: The unit features an outdoor vent, allowing exhaust air to be vented outside, maintaining the air quality and reducing indoor humidity.
"SmartFan" Fan Cycle: The SmartFan fan cycle adjusts the fan speed based on the current room temperature, optimizing energy use and comfort by automatically increasing or decreasing airflow as needed.
Auto Power Recovery: After a power outage, the unit automatically recovers its settings, so you don’t have to reset everything.
Freeze Sentinel: This feature protects the unit from freeze damage by automatically activating heat if the room temperature drops too low, ensuring the system functions optimally even in cold weather.
Self-Diagnostics: The unit includes self-diagnostics to help detect and troubleshoot any operational issues quickly, helping prevent downtime and facilitating maintenance.
Remote Thermostat Compatibility: The unit can be connected to a remote thermostat for more precise temperature control, although this requires an accessory kit.
Refrigerant Type: The unit uses R32 refrigerant, a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional refrigerants, which reduces global warming potential (GWP).
