Compatible Air Handler Combinations (Max 61,000 BTU)

This high-capacity 6-zone condenser supports 6K, 9K, 12K, 18K, 24K, and even 36K 5th Gen air handlers. A minimum of 2 zones must be connected. Total indoor capacity must not exceed 61,000 BTU.

Sample valid combinations:

• 36K + 18K + 6K = 60K
• 24K + 12K + 12K + 9K = 57K
• 18K + 12K + 9K + 9K + 6K + 6K = 60K
• 12K + 12K + 12K + 12K + 12K = 60K

Recommended Wire Size

• Recommended: 6 AWG copper wire – supports 34A MCA and 40A fuse
• One Size Smaller (8 AWG): May be acceptable for short runs but could overheat under load—check local codes
• One Size Larger (4 AWG): Ideal for long wire runs—ensures minimal voltage drop and extra safety margin

Note: Condenser is pre-charged with R-454B refrigerant and is not backward compatible with R-410A systems. Please ensure total indoor load is within allowable limits and follow all installation guidelines.
