•
This is the easiest installation method, though not necessarily the preferred one. It
will provide fresh air to all rooms supplied by the ventilation system. Stale air and
humidity extraction is done through the return plenum which could make humidity
management more difficult than if the extraction were done at the source.
•
This method is only possible if the MINOTAIR can be installed in the same room
where the forced-air system ventilator is located.
•
It is required that the forced air ventilator runs continuously or ventilator
operations is
interlocked with the “G” terminal of the MINOTAIR.
•
A minimum distance of 6 ft. (2 m) between the return and supply connections is
required.
