The Daikin NEXIO MAX DVH1204W000001S is the 460V, 3-Phase high-static configuration of the 12 ton (114,000 BTU) DV Series inverter packaged heat pump — the largest capacity, highest airflow model in the initial NEXIO MAX release, now in the configuration that combines 460V electrical service with 2.0 in. W.C. maximum external static pressure capability. It delivers 21.5 IEER / 12.1 EER efficiency from a single variable-speed scroll inverter compressor on R-32 refrigerant, pushing 3,600 CFM nominal airflow through demanding duct systems via a 5.0 HP direct-drive indoor blower at 10.6A FLA — while keeping MCA at just 30.3A and max overcurrent protection at 35A.
The DVH1204W represents the full-specification version of the NEXIO MAX DV Series: maximum capacity, maximum static pressure headroom, and minimum current draw through 460V power. For large commercial projects — multi-wing retail centers, full-service restaurant groups, large school or healthcare campuses, or multi-tenant office buildings with established 460V distribution — this model satisfies the most demanding combination of tonnage, duct system resistance, and electrical infrastructure constraints in a single rooftop cabinet that shares the same curb footprint as every other model in the DV Series lineup.
At 12 tons, the inverter compressor's continuous modulation capability has a pronounced impact on both energy performance and occupant comfort. Rather than staging on at full capacity and short-cycling, the unit adjusts output in real time to match actual building demand — maintaining a stable setpoint across the variable occupancy and load profiles that characterize large commercial spaces throughout the operating day. A subcooling heat exchanger, vapor-injection solenoid, and electronic expansion valves across both indoor and outdoor coils optimize the refrigerant circuit in all operating modes: cooling, heating, defrost, oil return, and hot gas reheat on HGRH-configured models. A dedicated BACnet PCB is physically installed in the indoor control panel as standard for native BAS integration with no field-add hardware required.

FAQs
Q: What makes the DVH1204W000001S different from the other 12-ton DV Series models?
A: It is the only 12-ton DV Series model combining 460V, 3-Phase electrical service with 2.0 in. W.C. high-static capability. Compared to the 208/230V high-static DVH1203W, it delivers identical static pressure performance and blower HP (5.0 HP) at significantly lower current draw — 10.6A blower FLA versus 15.1A, and 30.3A MCA versus 57.8A. All four 12-ton DV Series variants share the same 114,000 BTU capacity, 21.5 IEER, 3,600 CFM airflow, 335 oz. R-32 charge, and 1,293 lb. operating weight.
Q: When does the DVH1204W make more sense than the DVH1203W?
A: When your building has 460V, 3-phase distribution. Both models deliver identical high-static performance — 2.0 in. W.C. max ESP with a 5.0 HP blower pushing 3,600 CFM — but the DVH1204W does it at 460V, cutting MCA from 57.8A to 30.3A and max overcurrent from 70A to 35A. On large commercial projects specifying multiple 12-ton rooftop units, the panel capacity savings of 460V across the entire RTU array can be very significant.
Q: Why does the blower FLA drop from 15.1A to 10.6A between the 208/230V and 460V high-static 12-ton models?
A: Same 5.0 HP motor, higher voltage. Doubling the voltage roughly halves the current for the same power output. The DVH1203W runs its 5.0 HP blower at 208/230V drawing 15.1A; the DVH1204W runs the same motor at 460V drawing 10.6A. Mechanical output — 3,600 CFM against 2.0 in. W.C. — is identical between the two.
Q: What are the full electrical requirements?
A: 460V, 3-Phase, 60 Hz. Minimum Circuit Ampacity (MCA) is 30.3A and maximum overcurrent protection is 35A. Power supply conduit knockout is 1.375 in. diameter; low-voltage conduit is 0.5 in. diameter. MCA steps up from 26.5A on the 460V standard-static DVH1204D due to the higher-HP blower motor — verify panel and breaker capacity if substituting the W for a D model on an existing circuit.
Q: What is the IEER efficiency rating?
A: 21.5 IEER / 12.1 EER — identical across all four 12-ton DV Series variants regardless of voltage or static pressure configuration.
Q: Is BACnet MS/TP standard on this model?
A: Yes. All DV Series NEXIO MAX units include a dedicated BACnet PCB physically installed in the indoor control panel as standard. Native BAS integration requires no field-add communication cards regardless of voltage or static pressure configuration.
Q: How does the DVH1204W compare to the 460V high-static 10-ton DVH1024W?
A: The DVH1204W delivers 114,000 BTU and 3,600 CFM versus 102,000 BTU and 3,100 CFM on the DVH1024W. Both share the same 5.0 HP blower at 10.6A FLA and the same 460V high-static platform. MCA steps up marginally from 29.7A to 30.3A; max overcurrent protection is 35A on both models. Cabinet dimensions, operating weight (1,293 lbs.), ship weight (1,365 lbs.), refrigerant charge (335 oz.), and controls architecture are shared across the entire DV Series platform.
Q: Is the DVH1204W000001S the largest model in the NEXIO MAX DV Series initial release?
A: Yes — at 12 tons, 114,000 BTU, and 3,600 CFM, the DVH1204W000001S is the highest-capacity, highest-airflow model in the initial NEXIO MAX DV Series phase. Daikin has indicated the NEXIO lineup will expand across additional tonnage ranges in future phases.
Q: What does this unit weigh and how does it ship?
A: Operating weight is 1,293 lbs. and ship weight is 1,365 lbs. — consistent across all twelve DV Series models regardless of tonnage, voltage, or static pressure configuration. Units ship LTL freight to all 48 contiguous states. Call 678-535-7176 for a freight quote before ordering; liftgate and inside delivery options vary by carrier and delivery address.
