The central forced-air system must be synchronized with the unit since fresh air evacuation and distribution come from the same section.
The central forced-air system must operate to avoid fresh air to be directly drawn by the evacuation, which would reduce significantly
fresh air supply to the building. See section 3.3 for ducting.
CAUTION
Duct connection to the central forced-air system can be regulated by some codes and standards. It is your responsibility to consider and
comply with your local requirements to avoid any non-compliance.
WARNING
!
VH0168
Fresh air and exhaust air flow through the central forced-air system ducts,
which simplifies the installation.
The use of bathroom fans and a range hood is suggested to exhaust stale
air.

Unit should be synchronized with central forced-air system operation
to avoid condensation and mold growth in central forced-air system
distribution ducting if cooling mode of central forced-air system is used.

This configuration is not recommended with high velocity central forced-
air system. High pressures produced by these systems could affect unit
proper operation and generate errors.
CAUTION
NOTE: For this type of configuration, the T-5 option must be
selected on the LCD screen when auto-balancing the unit (see section 5.2).
