Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps Line-Up
Your Best Choice in Mini Split Air Conditioning and Heat Pump Systems
Since 1983, Panasonic Mini Split Air Conditioner and Heat Pump products offer a wide range of versatile solutions for cooling and heating
requirements for single or multiple rooms. The indoor unit (evaporator) is mounted inside a room and connected to the outdoor unit
(condenser) via refrigerant lines and inter-unit wiring through a 3-1/2” opening in the wall. Since no ductwork is required, installation is
simple, fast and efficient. Ducted models are also available.
The indoor unit has been uniquely designed to provide whisper-quiet operation while delivering comfort throughout the room. Panasonic

Room Freeze Protection*
Room Freeze Protection mode helps prevent plumbing damage
due to sub-Freezing Temperature. This mode automatically
turns on the compressor for heat pump operation if the room
temperature falls to about 46°F.
*This function may not be performed if the unit is not powered,
or if the unit is unable to operate such as in protection mode.
Please consult with the HVAC installers or professional for
details.
Microprocessor-Controlled
Operation
Microprocessor control ensures that the temperature and
humidity levels in the room are always comfortable.
Wireless Remote Control
Panasonic’s infrared Remote Control with and easy-to-read
LCD Display, gives the user the capability to adjust & set:
temperature, sweep (louver control), fan speeds, timer and
more, for complete automatic operation.
Automatic Heating and Cooling Changeover
After setting the temperature and functions you desire, just relax.
If the room temperature is higher than the set temperature,
cooling operation begins. If the room temperature is lower than
the set temperature, heating operation begins. During normal
thermostat cycle operation, cooling and heating operations
automatically change in accordance with set temperature, time
and room temperature (Single Zone Heat Pump unit only).
1-hour OFF Timer
When this button is pushed either while the unit is operating
or while it is stopped, the unit will operate for one hour, then
switch off automatically.
24-hour Clock with ON/OFF Program Timer
The remote control unit allows you to set a wide variety of
timer-based operations. Such functions include automatic
ON/OFF with a timer setting, same time ON/OFF every day,
ON timer, OFF timer and Combination timer.

Anti-Microbial Filter
Anti-microbial Filter by 3M. This filter is treated to inhibit the
growth of mold and mildew, and helps create clean air.
Features Chart
Dry Mode
By coupling compressor and fan operation, intermittent operation
can be precisely controlled according to room temperature, so
that air is efficiently dehumidified.
5 Fan Speeds and Automatic Fan Operation
Convenient microprocessor control automatically adjusts fan
speed to High, Medium or Low. According to room temperature to
maintain a comfortable airflow throughout the room.
Air Sweep Control
The air sweep function moves the louver up and down in the air
outlet, directing air in a “sweeping” motion around the room and
providing comfort in every corner.

Base Pan Heater
Exterios XE models include a base pan heater that prevents freezing
condensate and allows very low ambient operation.
Hot Start Heating System
Right from the start, air is warm and comfortable. The Hot Start
Heating System prevents any cold blasts at the beginning while
the heat pump is warming up (Heat pump unit only).
Built-In Drain Pump
Max. head 20 inches from the discharge of the indoor unit.
Condensation pump is only for allowing drain line to meet
minimum gravity flow requirements.
Low Ambient
Low Ambient heating operation models range from 5°F to -15°F
Electric Refrigerant Control Valve
The circulation volume of the refrigerant is controlled by a pulse
type electric control valve. In order to attain optimum efficiency,
when the power is switched ON, the opening degree of the electric
control valve is controlled between 90 and 480 steps.
Quiet Mode
LOW, low fan speed for extra quiet operation.
