CHECKOUT

In this section, make sure the ventilation system is operating 

correctly. 

1.

On thermostat, set Fan switch to Auto and System 

switch to Off.

2.

Set any remote switches throughout the house in the 

Off position.

3.

On the W8150, set the control switch to Off (remote 

only). 

4.

Press Test button for two seconds to enter test mode:

• A light on the control begins flashing.

• The HVAC system fan comes on.

• The damper moves to the Open position.

5.

Press the Test button again to exit test mode:

• No lights on the control are on.

• The HVAC system fan turns off.

• The damper returns to the closed position.

6.

Return the thermostat, ventilation control, and remote 

switches to the original settings.

7.

Refer to Troubleshooting section, if needed.

TIP:

• W8150 Ventilation Control automatically exits test mode 

after three minutes.

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.

No light on ventilation 

control when switch 

set to:

On 

Override Off/

Remote Only and a 

remote switch is on.

No power to control

Verify 24 volt input to R and C terminals on ventilation control.

Check wiring connections per appropriate system diagram and replace 

transformer, if necessary.

Device malfunction

Cycle power off to control for ten seconds and recheck. If control does not 

recover, replace ventilation control.

HVAC fan does not 

come on after pressing 

Test button. 

Wiring

Check wiring connections per appropriate system diagram.

HVAC system does not 

have power

Restore power to the HVAC system.
