PERFERA FOR MULTI-SPLIT
The 24 000 Btu Perfera, for a multi-split system
This is the Daikin Perfera FTXM71A wall-mounted indoor unit from Daikin’s current Perfera A series, sold on its own to build a multi-split system: several rooms cooled and heated from one outdoor unit.
It is the 7.1 kW class unit, the 24 000 Btu size, suited to open-plan spaces of up to about 60 m².
Mixing sizes is the point of multi-split: a small unit in each bedroom and a larger one in the living room, all on one condenser outside.
ONE OUTDOOR UNIT
Several rooms, one outdoor unit
A multi-split system runs two to five indoor units from a single outdoor unit, so a house or apartment needs one condenser outside instead of one per room. Each indoor unit has its own remote and runs independently, all in the same heating or cooling mode.
This FTXM71A connects to the Daikin multi-split outdoor units we stock: the 3MXM68A9 for up to three rooms, the 4MXM80A9 for up to four and the 5MXM90A9 for up to five. The FTXM71A needs the 4MXM80A9 or 5MXM90A9: the 3MXM68A9 takes indoor units up to 6.0 kW.
The Daikin multi-split system page shows the indoor and outdoor units together, so you can put a system together room by room.
COMFORT AND CLEANER AIR
Perfera comfort in every room
Each Perfera indoor unit brings the features it has as a single split: Daikin’s Flash Streamer, which breaks down airborne allergens and odours, a silver allergen-removal filter and a titanium apatite deodorising filter.
The A series adds twin flaps for Daikin’s Comfort+ airflow, which spreads air across the room rather than straight at the people in it. The two-area motion sensor steers air away from where people are sitting and switches to an energy-saving setting when the room is empty, and 3D airflow combines vertical and horizontal auto-swing to reach the corners.
Wi-Fi is built in, so every room can be controlled separately through Daikin’s Onecta app, or by voice through Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. On its silent setting it runs at 32 dBA.
MADE FOR SOUTH AFRICAN POWER
Daikin South Africa stock
This indoor unit is supplied through Daikin South Africa for the 220–240 V single-phase multi-split outdoor units sold here, so the local Daikin warranty applies and parts come through Daikin’s South African network.
Auto-restart returns the system to its previous settings when the power comes back after load-shedding.
The indoor unit is sold on its own. It needs a compatible multi-split outdoor unit, copper piping and a qualified installer; our installers cover the major South African cities and quote separately.

Indoor unit figures from Daikin’s published technical data for the FTXM71A (A2V1B). The cooling and heating output in a multi-split system depends on the outdoor unit and the other indoor units connected.
Choosing the right indoor unit size
Living rooms and open-plan spaces take the larger units: the FTXM50A, FTXM60A or FTXM71A, depending on the size of the space.
For the bedrooms on the same system, the FTXM25A and FTXM35A are the usual sizes.
If only one room needs cooling, a single split is simpler and usually cheaper: the Perfera 24 000 Btu split comes with its own outdoor unit.
Questions we are asked about the Perfera FTXM71A
Yes. The FTXM71A is from Daikin’s current Perfera A series, which replaced the FTXM-R. The A series indoor unit has a new design with twin flaps for Comfort+ airflow, and it connects to the same 3MXM68A9, 4MXM80A9 and 5MXM90A9 outdoor units.
Not as sold here. This is the indoor unit only, for a multi-split system. For a single room, a Perfera pair with its own outdoor unit is simpler; see the Perfera 24 000 Btu split.
Open-plan spaces of up to about 60 m² with a standard ceiling height, the same as the single-split Perfera of this size. The output in a multi-split system depends on the outdoor unit and the other indoor units running at the same time.
No. Each indoor unit is switched on and set separately. All units on one outdoor unit run in the same mode, so one room cannot heat while another cools.
Yes. Wi-Fi is built in, and each indoor unit can be controlled from Daikin’s Onecta app, or by voice through Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.
No. A multi-split system has to be designed and installed by a qualified installer, with copper piping from each indoor unit to the outdoor unit. Our installers cover the major South African cities and quote separately.
