TROUBLESHOOTING
For a list of common operating issues and concerns, see Table 13.
Power Loss (Outage or Brownout)
All setpoints and advanced settings are restored after any power 
loss or interruption, as all settings are stored in the economizer 
controller’s non-volatile flash memory.
NOTE: If power goes below 18 vac, the W7220 module assumes 
a power loss and the 5-minute power-up delay will become func
-
tional when power returns above 18 vac.
Alarms
The economizer module provides alarm messages that display on 
the 2-line LCD.
NOTE: Upon power up, the module waits several seconds before 
checking for alarms. This allows time for all the configured devic
-
es (e.g. sensors, actuator) to become operational.
If one or more alarms are present and there has been no keypad ac-
tivity for at least 5 minutes, the Alarms menu displays and cycles 
through the active alarms.
The Alarms menus can be navigated at any time. See Table 9 for 
the Alarms menu.
CLEARING ALARMS
Once the alarm has been identified and the cause has been re-
moved (e.g. replaced faulty sensor). They can be cleared from the 
display.
To clear an alarm, perform the following:
1. Navigate to the desired alarm.
2. Press the   (Enter) button.
3. ERASE? displays.
4. Press the   (Enter) button.
5. ALARM ERASED displays.
6. Press the        (Menu Up/Exit) button to complete the action 
and return to the previous menu.
NOTE: If the alarm still exists after you clear it, it is redisplayed 
within 5 seconds.
Table 13 — Operating Issues and Concerns
ISSUE OR CONCERN POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY
My outdoor temperature reading on the STATUS menu is 
not accurate.
Check the sensor wiring:
• Enthalpy sensors are to be wired to the S-Bus terminals.
• Temperature sensors are to be wired to the OAT and MAT terminals.
If my enthalpy sensor drifts in accuracy over time, can I 
recalibrate it?
The sensor is not able to be recalibrated in the field. However, there is a menu item 
under the ADVANCED menu to input a limited offset in temperature and humidity for 
each sensor that is connected to the economizer.
Can I go back to factory defaults and start over?
Under the SYSTEM SETUP menu, you can change the set points to the factory 
defaults.
Will I be able to see the LCD screen when it is in the unit? The LCD screen has a backlight that is always illuminated.
What is a good set point for the Mixed Air Temperature 
(MAT)?
The Mixed Air Temperature is the temperature of air to supply to the space. In a 
commercial building, this is between 50°F and 55°F (10°C and 13°C). Mixed air is the 
combination of return air and outdoor air.
I am using enthalpy sensors. Why did the control ask me to 
input a dry bulb changeover temperature?
If the humidity sensor in the enthalpy sensors fails, the backup algorithm in the control is 
to default to the temperature sensor in the enthalpy sensor.
In checkout, the outdoor damper closes when I command it 
to open.
Check the actuator linkage or rotation. In the CHECKOUT mode, the outdoor damper 
should drive open or closed with the return air damper having the opposite effect.
How do I set my minimum position when using a CO
2
 
sensor?
The minimum position is set using the VENTMIN and VENTMAX setup in the 
SETPOINTS menu. VENTMIN is the minimum ventilation required when using an 
occupancy sensor and VENTMAX is the minimum ventilation when not using an 
occupancy sensor for Demand Control Ventilation. The VENTMAX position is set the 
same as with the potentiometer on the analog economizers and is the output voltage to 
the damper actuator. The range is 2 vdc closed OA damper and 10 vdc open OA 
damper.
What if my damper does not go completely closed in the 
checkout operation?
Check the damper linkage or hub to make sure the damper is able to close completely.
How do I set the OCC?
There are two settings for the OCC setting: INPUT and ALWAYS. INPUT is from the 
space thermostat, if it has an occupancy output. ALWAYS is the unit in the occupied 
mode, if the economizer is powered (fan on).
Does the economizer save my program values if the unit 
loses power?
Yes, once the changes are stored in the controller they will be stored until they are 
changed by the operator.
If the unit is left in checkout, how long will the unit stay in 
checkout mode without input?
The unit will remain in checkout for 10 minutes, then return to normal operation.
