With no pump, how is the water drained?

By gravity, through a 16 mm (0.63 in.) drain. The route must run downhill all the way to the outlet: we plan it during the visit, with the line route.

What is the quietest speed?

The SL speed: 22 dB(A) in cooling for the 7,000, 9,000 and 12,000, and 23 dB(A) for the 18,000, per Hitachi’s brochure. No other airHome Multi head goes that low on paper.

Does the console go on the wall or on the floor?

Both: on the wall, or on the standing base supplied with the unit, according to Hitachi.

How far does the console reach into the room?

219 mm deep, according to Hitachi: slightly less than a 7,000 to 12,000 RAK-DJ wall head (222 mm).

Does the 18,000 console connect to a RAM-G24N3HAA?

Yes, Hitachi’s table takes it. Its gas line is 1/2 in. and the RAM-G24N3HAA only has 3/8 in. ports: Hitachi provides the TA261D-4-001 adaptor and SEAL-3/8 seal, shipped with the outdoor unit.

Does the console have a leak detector?

Yes: built-in refrigerant leak sensor, with an alarm light and buzzer on the unit, according to Hitachi.

Which remote comes with the console?

The technical guide lists the RC-BGH1FB0N and the RC-BGH1FD0N. It does not show with certainty which one is supplied, and does not say which one is in French: we state it in your quotation.

Which filter does the console use?

A stainless steel pre-filter and a PM2.5 active carbon filter, according to Hitachi’s brochure.

HITACHI floor console: 22 dB(A) at its lowest, no pump, four sizes up to 18,000 BTU/h

Hitachi calls it the airHome Floor. It attaches to the wall or stands on the supplied base, and reaches only 219 mm into the room. Three facts set it apart: four published sizes, 7,000 to 18,000 BTU/h; no condensate pump, the water runs down by gravity; and no quieter airHome Multi head at the lowest speed: 22 dB(A).

22 dB(A): the lowest sound figure in the whole airHome Multi family.

02 · Condensate

No pump: the water has to run downhill on its own.

On the “included drain pump” row, Hitachi’s technical guide answers no for the console. The ducted head has one, and so does the mini-cassette according to the technical guide; the console drains its water through a 16 mm drain, by gravity.

What it changes in your home

With no pump, the water must run downhill all the way from the console to its outlet: its route counts as much as the line route when choosing the location. We plan it during the visit, before proposing a console.

03 · Outdoor unit

On which RAM-G, and with which adaptor.

The 18,000 console has a 1/2 in. gas line; the RAM-G24N3HAA only has 3/8 in. ports. Hitachi covers that case with an adaptor shipped with the outdoor unit. Pick a size.

05 · Mounting

On the wall or on its base, supplied with the unit.

Two mountings published by Hitachi, a 219 mm depth, and one dimension to confirm: Hitachi prints 750 × 590 × 219 mm, but its dimensioned drawing does not let us check which one is the height; we check it on the delivered unit.

Attached to the wall, according to Hitachi, which publishes neither the mounting height nor the wall bracket details.

“Can be attached on the wall or on a standing base (supplied with the unit).”

07 · Frequently asked questions

Your questions about the Hitachi console.

Not in Hitachi’s brochure or data sheets, which stop at 18,000 BTU/h. The technical guide’s compatibility list names a RAF-FJ24QHAA, with no data sheet or capacity published: it is not in our store. For a room that needs more, the mini-cassette goes up to 20,500 BTU/h per the brochure, and the ducted head up to 24,000 BTU/h.
