WHOLE HOUSE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

In this configuration the dehumidifier will pull air from the return duct. The air passes through the dehumidifier, where moisture is
removed, and then returned to the HVAC system downstream of the cooling coil in the supply plenum. This installation is used
when the HVAC unit conditions the area where dehumidification is needed. Connection to the HVAC unit for the primary living
space or basement HVAC unit is ideal for this installation.
