Excel 10 W7751H Smart VAV Actuator
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE INSTALLATION
The W7751H Smart VAV Actuator is a factory-combined
Excel 10 Variable Air Volume (VAV) Box Controller and an
ML6174 Direct-Coupled Actuator with De-clutch mechanism.
The actuator/controller assembly is field mounted to the VAV
box damper shaft similar to the mounting of a standard
actuator, and the controller wiring is terminated to the screw
terminals that are located under a snap-on cover. See Fig. 1.
The Smart VAV Actuator is a Free Topology Transceiver (FTT)
L
ONMARK® compliant controller. The W7751H2025 is for
smoke control use.
The ML6174 Direct-Coupled Actuator with De-clutch
mechanism (see Fig. 2 for location) allows the installer to
manually open or close the VAV box damper connected to the
W7751H without power or software tool to command it.
The controller in the W7751H contains a Microbridge flowthrough pressure sensor and communicates via the
78 kilobaud Echelon® L
Triac output loads must draw a minimum current of 25 mA at
24 Vac, 60 Hz nominal. Triac maximum current rating: 77 mA.
The actuator on the W7751H mounts directly onto the VAV
box damper shaft and has up to 70 lb-in. torque (8 Nm), 90
degree stroke, and 90 second timing at 60 Hz.
The actuator on the W7751H can accommodate the optional
field-installed auxiliary switches.
NOTE: Mounting thermostat/sensor greater than 20 ft from
the W7751H2025 requires 14506944-001 Transient
Protectors. They must be installed on the thermostat/
sensor leads from the T7770C pins 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
ONWORKS® Bus Network.
INSTALLATION
Horizontally mount the W7751H on the damper shaft and
allow clearance for wiring, servicing and module removal.
Avoid mounting the W7751H in areas where acid fumes or
other deteriorating vapors can attack the metal parts of the
actuator, or in areas where escaping gas or other explosive
vapors are present. See Fig. 2 for mounting dimensions.

The assembly is intended only for horizontal shaft
mounting, to assure proper heat dissipation from the
controller housing. The Smart VAV Actuator must not
be mounted with the controller at the top.

Fig. 2. W7751H mounting dimensions in in. (mm).
The W7751H assembly is field mounted to the VAV box
damper shaft, the same as used for a typical actuator. The
actuator on the W7751H opens or closes a damper by driving
the damper shaft in either the counterclockwise (CCW) or
clockwise (CW) direction. The actuator has a mounting tab on
the bottom for securing to a VAV box damper. The mounting
tab is accessible through a hole in the controller with its cover
removed (see Fig. 3). The tab is sized for a 1/4 in. (6 mm)
screw or pin (not included).
The controller enclosure on the W7751H is constructed of a
sheet metal housing and a plastic snap-on cover. Controller
wiring on the W7751H is terminated to screw terminal blocks
located under the snap-on cover. See Wiring section. The
sheet metal housing has two 1/2 inch (13 mm) knockouts (see
Fig. 2) compatible with 1/2 inch (13 mm) or 3/4 inch (19 mm)
conduit.
NOTE: The assembly is intended only for mounting to a
horizontal shaft.

The W7751H actuator is shipped in the fully clockwise (CW)
position (90 degree). The W7751H Assembly must be
mounted to a horizontal damper shaft to assure proper heat
dissipation from the controller housing. Mount the W7751H so
that the actuator is parallel with the VAV box damper housing.
In general, it is recommended that a washer or spacer be
added between the VAV box damper housing and the actuator
mounting tab to keep them parallel. See Fig. 4.
CAUTION
Equipment Damage Hazard.
Mounting actuator unevenly with damper housing
can damage actuator.
Mount actuator flush with damper housing or add
spacer between mounting tab and damper box
housing. (See Fig. 4.)

Before mounting the W7751H onto the VAV box damper shaft,
determine the following:
1. The damper shaft diameter, 3/8 to 1/2 in. (10 to 13 mm).
2. If the length of the VAV box damper shaft is less than
1-3/8 in. (35 mm), use the Short Shaft Adapter Kit (not
If damper shaft diameter is 3/8 inch (10 mm) round or square,
use part 201391 Shaft Adapter (shipped with the W7751H
Smart VAV Actuator). Ensure it is placed opposite set screws.
See Fig. 6. The adapter centers a 3/8 in. (10 mm) shaft in the
hub. Failure to use the adapter on a 3/8 in. (10 mm) shaft
causes the mounting tab to loosen. A 1/2 in. (13 mm) shaft
does not require the use of the adapter.

The W7751H is shipped with the actuator rotated in the fully
clockwise (CW) position. The installation procedure varies
depending on the damper direction and angle:
1. If the damper rotates clockwise (CW) to open, and the
angle of the damper open to closed is 90 degrees,
manually open the damper fully to the clockwise
direction and mount the W7751H to the VAV damper
box and shaft. Tighten the Allen set screws. The part
no. 201614 Range Stop Pin, which is shipped with the
W7751H Smart VAV Actuator, is unnecessary. When
the W7751H closes, the damper rotates CCW 90
degrees to fully close.
2. If the damper rotates clockwise (CW) to open, and the
angle of the damper open to closed is 45 or 60 degrees,
manually open the damper fully to the clockwise
direction and mount the W7751H to the VAV damper
box and shaft. Tighten the Allen set screws. Insert the
part no. 201614 Range Stop Pin, which is shipped with
the W7751H Smart VAV Actuator, in either the 45 or
60 degree CCW slot, whichever applies (see Fig. 7).
The range stop pin must go all the way through the
housing. The pin can only be installed in the CCW slots
when the actuator is in the CW position. When the
W7751H closes, the damper rotates CCW either 45 or
60 degrees to fully close.
3. If the damper rotates counterclockwise (CCW) to open,
and the angle of the damper open to closed is
90 degrees, manually close the damper fully to the
clockwise direction and mount the W7751H to the
damper box and shaft. Tighten the Allen set screws.
The part no. 201614 Range Stop Pin, which is shipped
with the W7751H Smart VAV Actuator, is unnecessary.
When the W7751H opens, the damper rotates CCW 90
degrees to fully open.
NOTE: Be aware that the damper is closed. Until the
W7751H is powered and the damper is driven
open, starting the fan system with all the VAV
box dampers closed can cause duct overpressurization and damage.
4. If the damper rotates counterclockwise (CCW) to open,
and the angle of the damper open to closed is 45 or
60 degrees, see the following NOTE.
NOTE: Special precautions must be taken for this
application. Mount the W7751H to the damper
box. (Do not tighten the Allen set screws yet).
Before the part no. 201614 Range Stop Pin,
which is shipped with the W7751H Smart VAV
Actuator, can be inserted in either the 45 or 60
degree CW slot, the damper actuator must be
driven fully open (CCW). To do this, the
controller on the W7751H must be wired,
powered, and connected to the portable PC via
the Serial LonTalk
®
Adapter (SLTA). The SLTA
connects to the controller on the W7751H via
the jack for Network Access on T7770 Wall
Module or by the B-Port on the Q7750A Zone
Manager. From E-Vision Software, drive the
actuator on the W7751H fully CCW, and insert
the range stop pin in either the 45 or 60 degree
CW slot, whichever applies (see Fig. 7). The
range stop pin must go all the way through the
housing. The pin can only be installed in the
CW slots when the actuator is in the CCW
position. (Disconnect the portable PC once
programming has been completed.) Manually
open the damper shaft fully (CCW) and then
tighten the Allen set screws. When the
W7751H closes, the damper will rotate CW 45
or 60 degrees to fully close.

The Honeywell Software Tool’s (miscellaneous parameter for
rotation direction) defaults to CW to Open, which applies to
the damper direction and angle in items 1 and 2 above. The
parameter must be changed to CCW to Open if the damper
shaft rotates in this direction, which applies to the damper
direction and angle in items 3 and 4 above.
IMPORTANT
It is advisable to leave the dampers in an open
position after W7751H installation to avoid the
possibility of overpressurizing the ductwork on fan
startup. Use the De-clutch lever (see Fig. 2 for
De-clutch lever location) to open the box damper on
W7751H controllers that are powered down, to
prevent overpressurization in the ductwork on fan
startup. To use the De-clutch lever, press and hold
the lever in the direction of the arrow (this
disengages the motor). Turn the damper shaft until
the damper is open and release the lever. When
power is restored to the W7751H controller, the
controller synchronizes the damper actuator so that
the damper is in the correct position upon startup.
When a range stop pin is used with a field-added auxiliary
switch, the tab on top of the range stop pin must point inward
toward the VAV damper box shaft. See Fig. 11. This allows
clearance for the auxiliary switch housing. To remove the pin,
pry it up with a flathead screwdriver. See Fig. 8.
