GENERAL W7220 CONTROLLER AND SENSOR 
INFORMATION
W7220 Economizer
The economizer controller used on electromechanical units is a 
Honeywell W7220, which is located in the RTU base unit’s 
Control Box. See the base unit’s Installation Instructions for the 
location of the Control Box access panel.
The W7220 controller provides the following:
• 2-line LCD interface screen for setup, configuration, and 
troubleshooting.
• On-board fault detection and diagnostics
• Sensor failure loss of communications identification
• Automatic sensor detection
• Capabilities for use with multiple-speed indoor fan systems
User Interface
The user interface consists of a LCD (liquid crystal display) dis-
play and a 4-button keypad on the front of the economizer con-
troller.
Keypad
The four navigation buttons (see Fig. 27) are used to scroll 
through the menus and menu items, to select menu items, and to 
change parameter and configuration settings.
Using the Keypad with Menus

Programming the W7220 Controller
The next several pages detail the different status displays, set 
points, setup, and alarms available on the controller. The list below 
and Table 
8 summarize the inputs required for a standard 
application with a single outside air sensor.
NOTE: Instead of setting the SETPOINTS, you can use the 
defaults already set in the controller. See default settings below. 
See Table 
8 for summarized standard settings or, for more detail, 
see Table 9, Menu Structure.
SETPOINTS
• MAT SET: This sets the mixed air temperature (MAT) 
setting. The controller has a default of 53°F, but the range 
is anywhere from 38°F to 70°F.
• LOW T LOCK: This setting locks out the compressor (or 
mechanical cooling) at a given temperature. The default is 
32°F, but the controller’s range is from –45°F to 80°F.
• DRYBULB SET: If you have an economizer with a dry 
bulb outside air sensor, you will see and set the 
DRYBULB SET. The default setting is 63°F but the 
controller’s range is 48°F to 80°F.
• ENTH CURVE: If you have a single enthalpy outside air 
sensor instead of a dry bulb, you will see and set the ENTH 
CURVE setting. There are 5 setting options: ES1 thru ES5. 
Check Table 6 for the limits for each of these settings. ES3 
is the default setting.
• MIN POS: The minimum position allows for ventilation even 
when not in the free-cooling mode. If you have a single speed 
unit there will be only one minimum position setting. The de-
fault is 4.4-v, but the range is 2 to 10 vdc.
• MIN POS H and MIN POS L: If your unit is 2 speed, there 
will be 2 minimum position settings that show up on the 
menu. The first is MIN POS H (for high speed), which has a 
default of 4.4-v. The second is MIN POS L (for low speed), 
which has a default of 6.0-v. 
NOTE: MIN POS H and MIN POS L are only displayed if under 
SYSTEM SETUP, AUX2 IN is set to “W1”, and FAN TYPE is 
set to 2 speed.
SYSTEM SETUP
• INSTALL: Allows you to set the current date. Use the 
keypad buttons to scroll to the correct date.
• EQUIPMENT: Always set to CONV even if the unit is a 
heat pump.
• AUX2 IN: Always set to W.
• FAN TYPE: Set for either single speed or 2 speed. The 
default setting is 2 speed.
• AUX OUT: If remote Fault Detection and Diagnostic 
(FDD) monitoring is required, select SYS.
• OCC: occupancy, always set to INPUT
