Understanding RLS3H specifications

Hi All,
I am looking at the specs on the below page and have a couple questions:
https://portal.fujitsugeneral.com/files/catalog/files/DTR_AS115E_01–ASU9-15RLS3_H1.pdf
1. On the Specifications page on PDF page 9, the ratio of Btu/h to kW stays the same (about 3409) for Min and Max Heating Capacity specified, across all the 3 models (9RLS3, 12RLS3 and 15RLS3). Does that mean the 15RLS3 will be operating at the same efficiency as the 9RLS3 when it modulates down to 3100 Btu/h, for example?
2. I am also trying to understand the “Input power” line on the same page vis-a-vis the kW mentioned in the “Capacity” lines.
Thanks in advance.

I have found that 3411 Btu/h equal 1kW, so that seems to explain what I mentioned in question 1. I would be grateful for an explanation of what "Input power" in question 2 above signifies.
Would I be correct in taking Input Power as power for the inside unit (wall-mount) whereas the Total Capacity tables on PDF page 16 show the total input power to the outside unit which supplies a portion of it to the inside unit?
