Allowable Heating and Cooling Equipment 
Configurations
Each W7750 device can control a variety of different types of 
mechanical cooling and heating equipment within roof top air 
handlers. See Fig. 13 through 17 for a conceptual overview of 
some typical configurations. For specific wiring details, see 
the Prepare Wiring Diagrams section.
STAGED HEATING/COOLING CONTROL
Staged equipment control is available for up to four stages of 
heating or four stages of cooling. On the W7750, the stages 
are activated through digital outputs (Triacs on the W7750B,C 
and dry-contact relays on the W7750A) one for each stage 
wired to 24 Vac contactors (see Fig. 27 and 30 in Step 4. 
Prepare Wiring Diagrams section for wiring details). Note that 
the number of physical Digital Outputs (DOs) on the controller 
limits the total number of stages that can be controlled. For 
example, the W7750A Model has six digital outputs, and 
because one is used for the supply fan, there are five DOs 
available for any combination of heating and cooling stages 
(with a maximum of four stages of heating and four stages for 
cooling). The W7750B Model offers two additional DOs, for a 
total of eight. The W7750C offers five DOs and three Analog 
Outputs (AOs). Fig. 13 shows a typical application of two 
stages of heat and two stages of cooling.

MODULATING HEATING/COOLING CONTROL
The W7750 Controller provides modulating equipment control 
for heating and cooling equipment (and economizer dampers, 
see Fig. 16) using either Series 60 Floating Control or Pulse 
Width Modulated (PWM) control, (PWM control is available on 
the W7750B,C only). The Series 60 Modulating Control is 
provided through two Relay digital outputs on the W7750A or 
two Triac digital outputs on the W7750B,C (one to pulse the 
valve actuator open and one to pulse it closed). PWM control 
positions the actuator based on the length, in seconds, of the 
pulse from the digital output. For PWM, the controller outputs 
a pulse whose length consists of two parts, a minimum and a 
maximum. The minimum pulse time represents the analog 
value of 0 percent and the maximum pulse length that 
represents an analog value of 100 percent. If the analog value 
is greater than 0 percent, an additional time is added to the 
minimum pulse time. The length of time added is directly 
proportional to the magnitude of the analog value. The PWM 
actuator will begin to use the analog value at the end of the 
pulse and will continue to use this value until a new pulse is 
received. Refer to Appendix B under PWM Control for an 
example. Series 60 actuators are generally less expensive 
than those for PWM, but the trade-off is that PWM requires 
only a single controller digital output while floating control 
uses two DOs. Refer to Appendix B under Series 60 
Modulating Control for an example. Fig. 14 illustrates a 
system with modulating heating and cooling (see Fig. 29 and 
31 in Step 4. Prepare Wiring Diagrams section.
Fig. 14. Fan, modulating heating and modulating cooling.
NOTE:
Pneumatically actuated valves can be controlled 
using a pneumatic transducer device. See Fig. 17. 
Also, transducer devices are available from third 
party vendors to convert PWM outputs to a voltage 
or current signal if desired.
HEAT PUMP CONTROL
The W7750 Controller handles heat pump applications 
similarly to staged heating/cooling control. Heat pump 
applications are supported by providing outputs for up to four 
compressor stages, a change-over relay for the refrigerant 
reversing valve, and up to four stages of auxiliary heat. Note 
that the W7750A Model has six digital outputs, and therefore, 
with one DO used for the supply fan and one for the change-
over relay, there are four outputs available for any 
combination of compressors and auxiliary heat stages. The 
W7750B Model offers two additional DOs for a total of eight, 
while the W7750C Model offers five DOs and 3 AOs. Fig. 15 
illustrates a typical heat pump system with auxiliary heat.
