6.4.1 Bypass control 

 

The Bypass is used to allow cool Fresh air to be supplied into the building without being warmed up by the 
units heat exchanger. (The heat exchanger is “bypassed”). 

 

This function can be used in summer in order bring cool outside air (e.g. at night) into the rooms. 

 

The Bypass operates automatically and is setup using the “Adjust User Settings” in the User menu.
