Features
- Cold Resistant
- The CU-5E36QBU-5 compressor can handle outdoor temperatures as low as -5 degrees Fahrenheit with consistent high performance. Panasonic uses the best cold-resistant components to prevent weather related issues.
- Inverter Technology
- Panasonic's inverter controls the power and makes operation extremely efficient by changing the power supply frequency. It is constantly adjusting the compressor rotation speed to provide the best performance at all times.
- Blue Fin Condenser
- Condensers are constantly exposed to wind, dust and salty air that take their toll on your unit. Panasonic coats their condensers with an anti-rust coating to extend its lifespan.
- 4-Way Airflow
- While being placed in the center of the room provides the best results, the E Series ceiling recessed unit has four louvers that allow you direct air which ever direction you desire.
- High Power Mode
- When the button is pushed, the unit will operate at maximum output for 30 minutes regardless of set temperature.
- Integrated Drain Pump
- Panasonic has integrated a built-in drain pump that raises the condensate up 20 inches from pump discharge.
- Power Failure Automatic Restart
- Your preset programmed operation can be reactivated once power is restored after a power failure.
- Installation Flexibility
- Match virtually any building design with the long piping length this outdoor condenser has to offer. The CU-5E36QBU-5 can support 82 feet of line set per indoor unit and a total of 262 feet of line set per system.
- Recommended line set sizes for indoor unit connectivity:
- CS-E12RB4UW-NG: 1/4" x 3/8" Line Set (Qty 4)
- (1) Panasonic - 36k BTU - Outdoor Condenser - For 2-5 Zones (CU-5E36QBU-5)
- (4) Panasonic - 12k BTU - Ceiling Cassette - For Multi or Single-Zone - Grille Sold Separately (CS-E12RB4UW-NG)
- (4) Panasonic E Series - Ceiling Cassette Grille Assembly - White (CZ-BT20U)
- (4) Panasonic 1/2" x 3/8" Port Adapter with Flare Connections (CZ-MA1P)
- Line Set - This double insulated tubing transfers refrigerant efficiently between your outdoor condenser and indoor unit.
- Drain Tubing - Drain tubing facilitates the reliable and effective removal of condensate from your system. It connects your indoor unit to drain locations of your choosing. We recommend locally purchased PVC hard pipe for the condensate drain on cassette and concealed duct units.
- Disconnect Box & Electrical Whip Kit - The Disconnect Box & Whip Kit provides a safe and simple way to connect your outdoor condenser to your fuse box.
- Connecting Wire - This durable, insulated wire provides power to your indoor unit from your outdoor condenser.
- Base Pan Heater - The base pan heater prevents ice from building up on the outdoor unit. Excessive ice build will lead to performance issues and could damage your unit.
- Outdoor Condenser Plastic Pad or Wall Bracket - We recommend outdoor condensers should not be placed directly on the ground. An outdoor condenser pad or wall bracket will provide a stable way to mount your condenser free from obstructions and debris.
Panasonic has over 53 years of air conditioning experience and the RAC Multi E Series mini splits are a prime example. This is a dual zone mini split system designed to give you individual control over the temperature of multiple rooms. The P4H36C12121212 has inverter technology to adjust the compressor rotation speed to maximize efficiency. Paired up with multiple indoor units that have multiple operating modes, multiple fan speeds, and multiple airflow directions, this is a system that fits the needs of nearly any home.
