The Daikin NEXIO MAX DVH1203W000001S is the high-static configuration of the 12 ton (114,000 BTU) DV Series inverter packaged heat pump β the largest capacity, highest airflow unit in the initial NEXIO MAX release, now configured for applications where duct system resistance demands more than the standard platform can deliver. Rated for up to 2.0 in. W.C. maximum external static pressure and equipped with a 5.0 HP direct-drive indoor blower at 15.1A FLA, it pushes 3,600 CFM nominal airflow through demanding duct systems while maintaining the same 21.5 IEER / 12.1 EER efficiency and full inverter performance of the standard DVH1203D.
At 12 tons serving large commercial spaces β sprawling retail floors, full-service restaurant groups, multi-wing school buildings, or large open-plan offices β duct systems routinely accumulate static pressure that exceeds the 1.4 in. W.C. limit of standard rooftop units. Long primary trunk runs, branch takeoffs to distant zones, high-efficiency filtration media, pressure-dependent VAV damper systems, and the pressure losses inherent in complex multi-zone air distribution all contribute. The DVH1203W is the specification answer to those conditions: same inverter compressor platform, same R-32 refrigerant circuit, same BACnet-ready controls, same cabinet and curb footprint β with the blower hardware sized for the actual static pressure the duct system presents.
The inverter compressor continuously modulates speed to match real-time building load, avoiding the short-cycling and temperature oscillation of fixed-speed staging across the part-load conditions that dominate commercial operating hours. 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 without any field-add hardware.

FAQs
Q: What is the difference between the DVH1203W000001S and the DVH1203D000001S?
A: External static pressure rating and blower motor. The DVH1203W is rated for 2.0 in. W.C. maximum external static versus 1.4 in. W.C. on the DVH1203D, achieved with an upgraded 5.0 HP blower motor at 15.1A FLA versus 3.5 HP / 11.7A on the standard model. The higher blower FLA drives MCA up from 54.0A to 57.8A while max overcurrent protection remains 70A across both 12-ton models. All performance, refrigerant, capacity, and cabinet specs are otherwise identical.
Q: When should I specify the DVH1203W over the DVH1203D?
A: Specify the W model when your duct system's calculated total external static pressure exceeds 1.4 in. W.C. At 12 tons serving large commercial spaces, high-static conditions are particularly common β sprawling trunk duct systems serving multiple zones, older undersized ductwork on retrofit projects, high-MERV filtration banks, VAV systems with pressure-dependent zone dampers, and complex multi-branch layouts with accumulated fitting losses. Always run a full duct static pressure calculation before specifying; the 0.6 in. W.C. of additional headroom the W model provides can be the difference between proper airflow and an underperforming system at commissioning.
Q: What is the IEER efficiency rating?
A: 21.5 IEER / 12.1 EER β identical to the standard-static DVH1203D. The high-static blower upgrade does not affect the unit's cooling or heating efficiency ratings.
Q: What are the electrical requirements?
A: 208/230V, 3-Phase, 60 Hz. Minimum Circuit Ampacity (MCA) is 57.8A and maximum overcurrent protection is 70A. The MCA steps up from 54.0A on the standard DVH1203D due to the higher 5.0 HP blower FLA, while the 70A overcurrent protection rating is shared across both 12-ton models. Power supply conduit knockout is 1.375 in. diameter; low-voltage conduit is 0.5 in. diameter. Verify panel and breaker capacity before substituting the W model on an existing circuit sized for the D model.
Q: How does the DVH1203W compare electrically to the 10-ton high-static DVH1023W?
A: Very close. The DVH1203W draws 57.8A MCA versus 56.5A on the DVH1023W β a difference of just 1.3A reflecting the slightly higher compressor inverter input at 12 tons. Both models share the same 5.0 HP / 15.1A blower configuration, the same 70A max overcurrent protection, and the same 208/230V, 3-Phase electrical supply requirement.
Q: Is BACnet MS/TP standard on the high-static 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 static pressure or voltage configuration.
Q: Is there a 460V high-static version of the 12-ton available?
A: Yes β the DVH1204W000001S is the 460V, 3-Phase high-static variant with a 10.6A blower FLA at 460V and 30.3A MCA. Contact us at 678-535-7176 to confirm availability.
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. β identical 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.
