When outdoor air temp drops below 23°F (-5°C), the control logic cycles the supply fan off to prevent core freeze while continuing exhaust (sequence depends on the unit’s control settings).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat filtration ships with the unit, and where is it installed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStandard filtration is MERV 6 on both supply and exhaust streams.
