The 2.0, 2.5 and 3.5 classes use an 870 × 295 × 229 mm indoor cabinet and a 780 × 542 × 289 mm outdoor cabinet. The 5.0 class increases to 1,040 × 295 × 244 mm indoors and 875 × 695 × 320 mm outdoors. Its quiet-mode indoor sound pressure is also 30 dB(A), compared with 19 dB(A) for the three smaller units.
Codes and installation data
KIT identifies the complete combination, CS identifies the indoor unit and CU identifies the outdoor unit. The numbers 20, 25, 35 and 50 are the nominal cooling classes. XZ, Z, CKE and the final indoor W remain part of the distinct complete references.
The current product cards shorten the kit references to KIT-Z20/25/35/50-CKE, while the specification table uses KIT-XZ20/25/35/50-CKE for the same four component pairs. The pair table above uses the specification-table kit references and retains the exact CS-XZ and CU-Z codes.
All four current kits have built-in Wi-Fi and Panasonic Comfort Cloud support. Capacity, seasonal ratings and quiet-mode sound still differ by pair.
