the damper will go to minimum. This allows the system to pro- that a heat minimum position other than 0% be used to ensure
vide adequate ventilation to meet the base ventilation rates for adequate ventilation per ASHRAE 62. Typically values from
ASHRAE 62 without setting the cool minimum above 0%. 5% to 10% will provide the base ventilation rate as required. A
When the damper mode is (or has been) heating and the simple check of the fresh air entering the air source, while the
space temperature has not risen more than halfway between the dampers are all at minimum position and the bypass is modu-

the air source is providing heat to satisfy another zone that is the unit to draw in the appropriate fresh air.
