Y8150 Fresh Air Ventilation System,

W8150 Fresh Air Ventilation Control

APPLICATION

The Y8150 Fresh Air Ventilation System, W8150 Fresh Air

Ventilation Control provide fresh air to a home. The control

operates a fresh air intake damper and, when necessary,

activates the main HVAC blower to efficiently meet ASHRAE

ventilation rates.

FEATURES

• Designed to help meet local ventilation codes and

standards, including ASHRAE 62.2-2010 standard,

“Ventilation and Acceptable Indoor Air Quality in

Low-Rise Residential Buildings.”

• Microcontroller optimizes the air delivery schedule to

make efficient use of normal HVAC run times.

• Easy-to-use input dials allow customized ventilation

for each installation.

• Test mode that includes immediate feedback to

installer to confirm that air delivery requirements of

selected ventilation standard are being met.

• Economical supply-only ventilation; works with forced

air system.

• Can be used with other equipment, such as an HRV/

ERV, for balanced ventilation.

IMPORTANT

Please read these instructions and keep them in your

records.

INSTALLATION

A fresh air duct and damper must be installed between the

outdoors and the return side of the HVAC equipment. The

W8150 control will be mounted near the HVAC system and

wired between the thermostat and the fan control.

You will need…

•W8150 Fresh Air Ventilation Control.

•damper.

•transformer.

•insulated ductwork.

•outdoor weather hood.

•starting collar.

•access to 120 Vac power.

•airflow measuring tool.

TIPS:

• To meet ASHRAE 62.2-2010, system must have at least a

MERV 6 filter installed.

• In cold climates, balanced ventilation is recommended. An

exhaust fan or heat recovery ventilator can be used.

• Humid climates may require additional dehumidification

equipment.

Choosing a location…

When choosing locations for equipment, duct connections,

and fresh air intake, be sure to consult local code

requirements.

16 REMOTE Remote switch (two

terminals)

24 Vac powered contacts allow a remote switch closure to call for

ventilation.

17 AUX Auxiliary (two terminals) 24 Vac dry contacts allow W8150 to control an auxiliary device, such as

exhaust fan or HRV/ERV, with a call for ventilation.

18 DAMPER Damper (two terminals) 24 Vac powered contacts control fresh air damper.

19 XFMR C 24 Vac ventilation control

Installing fresh air damper, ducting,

and control…

1. Disconnect power from HVAC system.

2. Install the weather hood, ducting, and damper following

local practices. Be sure all duct and insulation seams

are tightly sealed.

3. Mount the transformer and control.

TIPS:

• In general, larger ducting allows higher airflow, minimizes

additional fan run time and may be needed for larger

homes.

• Installing a damper directly to the return duct may be

convenient to support the damper and reduce ducting.

• Fresh air connection should be downstream of sensors

(such as a humidistat) in return air plenum.

• The EARD6 end stops can be used to reduce the amount

of airflow in the duct. To prevent complete opening, loosen

(but do not remove) the wing nut and move the upper lever

until the desired position is reached. Tighten the wing nut.

Keep the lower lever in the position shown.

Wiring the control…

CAUTION

Electrical Hazard.

Can cause personal injury or equipment damage.

Disconnect power to all systems before beginning

installation.

1. Wire the control. See wiring diagrams in Fig. 1-10 as

listed below. All wiring must comply with local codes,

ordinances, and regulations.

2. Reapply power to system and control.

TIP:

• Control package allows wire routing through side slots and

bottom openings.

Measuring airflow…

1. Make sure all HVAC system air filters are clean and

installed.

2. Push Test button:

• Control opens damper and turns on HVAC fan for

three minutes.

• A red or green light is flashing; you can now measure

airflow.

3. Follow instrument instructions for measuring airflow.

TIPS:

• You can exit the test mode at any time by pressing the test

button again.

• See Conversion Table (located after wiring diagrams) for

quick area and airflow setting conversions.

• For future reference, record the air flow on the inside of the

device cover.

• Pitot Tubes and flow measuring stations are commonly

used airflow measuring devices.

About the control settings…

Dial Settings

These settings allow the installer to customize the control to

meet the ventilation requirements for the home.

Ventilation Standard

Building codes are different everywhere. The W8150

Ventilation Control can be configured to operate based on:

• ASHRAE 62.2.

• ASHRAE 62-1999

TIP:

• Clear understanding of local codes and practices is

required to make sure the ventilation system is installed

and configured correctly. Generally, ASHRAE 62.2 control

method is recommended and can meet many existing local

codes.

*In Canada, interlocking exhaust equipment

may be required for balanced ventilation.

Ventilation Limit

This setting determines the maximum amount of time that the

fan runs for ventilation.

Setting the control...

1. Be sure power is turned on.

2. Set the Ventilation Standard on the control.

3. Set the bedrooms dial.

4. Set the area (sq ft) dial.

5. Set the airflow (cfm) dial.

6. Press the test button and observe the lights:

Green light is flashing.

The dial settings meet the chosen standard.

Red light is flashing.

There is not enough fresh air delivered to meet the

requirements of the selected standard. See

Troubleshooting section.

7. Record settings on the label inside the cover as shown

in the diagram.

TIPS:

• Ventilation control reads new dial setting only when test

button is pushed or power is cycled. To ensure dial settings

are read, push test button after any changes are made.

• For single bedroom homes, set the bedrooms dial to 2 (this

may result in more ventilation than the minimum required).

• For homes having more than five bedrooms and only a

single ventilation system, set the bedrooms dial to 5 (this

may result in less ventilation than the minimum required).

• For conditioned square feet, set area (sq ft) dial to the

nearest value.

• For airflow, set airflow (cfm) dial to the nearest value.

• Vaulted ceilings do not need to be considered when setting

this control.

• For homes with multiple systems: Honeywell recommends

a ventilation control and fresh air intake for each system.

Measure ventilation airflow for each system independently.

Refer to Multi-system Setup Example for further details.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Possible cause What to do

Flashing red light

during test mode

(The current settings

do not meet the

selected ventilation

requirement)

Not enough airflow •Measure airflow and check dial setting.

•See Problem: Not enough airflow.

Ventilation on-time limit

setting

• If the device is set to 60%: Set the ventilation control to 100% maximum

on time. This allows the HVAC fan to run up to 100% of the time. It may be

preferable to increase airflow.

• If the device is set to 100%: There is not enough airflow through the

fresh air duct.

•Ventilation continues to occur according to the settings but chosen

standard may not be met.

Flashing red light

during normal

operation

Low voltage •Check the voltage from the transformer for at least 20 Vac. If voltage is

OK, replace W8150 Control. If voltage is not OK, disconnect damper and

remote switch connections and check again. If voltage does not return to

at least 20 Vac, replace transformer.
