Stand-Alone Mode Sensor In Stand-Alone Mode, the SAT Sensor is connected to the MODGAS-X. If, in Stand-Alone Mode, the MODGAS-X is used The Supply Air Temperature (SAT) Sensor should be located in conjunction with a Stand-Alone MHGRV-X module, the SAT in the duct-work downstream of the unit supply air connection.
