APPLICATION
IMPORTANT
Please read these instructions and keep them in your
records.
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.

Choosing a location…
INSTALLATION
When choosing locations for equipment, duct connections,
and fresh air intake, be sure to consult local code
requirements.
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.

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.

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.
CAUTION
Can cause personal injury or equipment damage.
Disconnect power to all systems before beginning
installation.
Electrical Hazard.
3. Mount the transformer and control.
TIPS:
1. Wire the control. See wiring diagrams in Fig. 1-10 as
listed below. All wiring must comply with local codes,
ordinances, and regulations.
•
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.
2. Reapply power to system and control.

These settings allow the installer to customize the control to
meet the ventilation requirements for the home.
•
•

three minutes.
A red or green light is flashing; you can now measure
airflow.

Building codes are different everywhere. The W8150
3. Follow instrument instructions for measuring airflow.
Ventilation Control can be configured to operate based on:
TIPS:
•
•
ASHRAE 62.2.
ASHRAE 62-1999
•
•
•
•
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.
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.

Y8150 FRESH AIR VENTILATION SYSTEM, W8150 FRESH AIR VENTILATION CONTROL
TIPS:
Setting the control...
•
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.
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.

•
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.
