WHOLE HOUSE / LOCALIZED CONVERTIBLE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

In this configuration the dehumidifier will automatically switch between whole-house dehumidification when the HVAC equipment is on, and localized dehumidification when the equipment is off. This installation is used to dehumidify a whole house and a separate unconditioned space like an unfinished basement, or an area where circulation from that location throughout the entire house is undesirable.
