Premium Zoning Ducted System
Compatible with airCore 700 ducted systems, this kit allows for individual zone control with up to 8 zones, each controllable by a thermostat. Modulating dampers optimize airflow to each zone. Control is managed via a wired remote controller (WRC) and can be integrated with the airCloud Go app for remote management.
Indoor Units
FrostWash™ Technology
Available on all airCore 700 indoor units (Ducted, Cassette, Ceiling Suspended), FrostWash™ freezes dirt and dust on the heat exchanger, then defrosts and dries it. This process cleans the unit, maintains airflow, and safeguards long-term performance. It can be activated manually or automatically.
Ducted Units
Available in Mid Static Pressure (MSP) and High Static Pressure (HSP) variants, offering ESP ranges of 35~215Pa and 35~310Pa respectively. This wide ESP range suits complex layouts and multiple air outlets. Features include automatic ESP adjustment and quiet operation via a well-balanced centrifugal fan.
Cassette Units
4-Way Cassette: Available with Standard, Silent Iconic (iF Design Award 2020 winner), and Human Sensor Panels. Features include individual louver control for directional airflow, compatibility with high ceilings, and easy filter cleaning with optional elevating grilles. The Human Sensor Panel offers Direct or Indirect airflow based on occupant detection, and CrowdSense technology adjusts capacity based on occupancy.
Advanced Comfort Features:
- FloorSense Cool: Prevents overcooling of floor areas in cooling mode.
- FeetWarm: Optimizes airflow in heating mode to ensure leg and foot comfort by addressing heat stratification.
Units feature a compact design with a height of 238~288mm for easy installation.
Ceiling Suspended Units
Available in various capacities, these units offer compatibility with an optional motion sensor for energy conservation (detects occupancy to turn the unit on/off). Features include auto-swing for even air distribution and a compact design.
Controllers & Apps
Hitachi offers a range of control solutions:
