APPLICATION
The Excel 12 FCU + 4 Lights application supports two HVAC
sequences (HEAT, COOL, or CHANGEOVER), free inputs, 1
free binary output, and up to four lights.
The application is delivered together with the plug-in and must
be downloaded into the Excel 12 controller's flash memory
during start-up. The user can customize the application using
Honeywell's LNS™ plug-in with CARE or any LNS™ tool (e.g.
LonMaker for Windows™). Customizations can be saved /
reloaded for easy configuration of multiple devices.
Application Overview
HVAC Application:
¾ Two sequences configurable for HEAT, COOL, and
CHANGEOVER
¾ Support of thermal actuators, floating actuators, PWM,
0...10 Vdc, and staged output via triac outputs or relay
outputs
¾ 3-stage fan via triac outputs or relay outputs
¾ Binary inputs for condensation, occupancy sensor,
window contact, etc.
¾ Relative or absolute temperature setting via wall module.
Light Application:
¾ Four times ON / OFF switching dependent on:
• Occupancy
• Internal light level. The light will be switched ON if the
light level drops below the "dark level" and it will be
switched OFF if it increases above the "bright level”.
The "dark level" and the "bright level” can be
configured via the plug-in.
NOTE: Do not select the “Auto Off Delay Timer” checkbox
insofar as this functionality is currently not supported.
• Manual switching (via hardwired switches or
L
ONWORKS® wall module)
¾ Two times dimming / constant light control for two lights
with just one sensor. Dimming / constant light control is
performed via analog outputs (this requires a HighFrequency Device for dimming with 1...10 Vdc input). An
additional relay is required to switch the light ON/OFF.
Constant light control helps to save additional energy.
Fluorescent tubes normally lose about 15% of their brightness over their lifecycle. To compensate for this, rooms
are therefore usually equipped with 15% more illumination
than actually necessary. With constant light control, the
light level needs to be only 85% in order to achieve the
required brightness. Further savings and comfort can be
achieved if there is a constant light level in the room and
the light is automatically dimmed when more outside light
enters. The Excel 12 supports window correction to
reduce the light output of the window light. This
functionality can be configured via the plug-in.
¾ Grouping of lights, e.g. switch four lights via a single push
button.
¾ Soft ON/OFF switching for dimmable lamps.
¾ Light sensor: The light intensities typically encountered in
everyday life are listed in Table 1, while Table 2 presents
the recommended light levels in various environments as
set forth by DIN5035.
NOTE: One lux is equivalent to 0.0929 foot-candle.
Refer also to the plug-in help information for details.

summer day, cloudless 100,000

winter day, cloudy 400

open-plan office rooms 750
schools (daytime) 300
night schools 500
gymnasiums 200
show rooms 300
commercial kitchens 500
NOTE: The intensity level depends on the sensor type and
the mounting location.
NOTE: The indoor light sensor must be suitable for sensing
artificial light, and should be mounted more towards
the corridor.
Free Inputs for Monitoring:
¾ Unused inputs can be used for monitoring. This
application supports the following free inputs:
• one temperature input (NTC20k; nvoAiTemp)
• one percentage input (0..10 V or 2..10 V;
nvoAiValuePct)
• two binary inputs (nvoDiSwitch[0/1])
Free Binary Output Can Be Switched Via L
¾ One unused binary output (triac or relay outputs) may be
switched via LONWORKS® (nviFreeOutput).
Occupancy Modes:
¾ Occupied mode: The Excel 12 operates according to the
"occupied" heating and cooling set-points.
¾ Bypass: After the bypass button of a hardwired wall
module has been pressed or when corresponding data is
received via the L
operates temporarily according to the "occupied" heating
and cooling set-points. When the bypass time has
elapsed, the controller reverts to scheduled mode. The
bypass time can be configured via plug-in.
¾ Standby mode: The Excel 12 operates according to the
"standby" heating and cooling set-points.
¾ Unoccupied mode: The Excel 12 operates according to
the "unoccupied" heating and cooling set-points.

EXCEL 12: FCU + 4 LIGHTS
¾ Occupancy sensor: The occupancy sensor is used for the
HVAC and light application. Hardwired and L
ONWORKS®
occupancy sensors are supported. The occupancy sensor
determines the effective occupancy mode during
scheduled occupied periods (time program with occupancy schedule runs on a different controller connected to
the L
ONWORKS® network). Depending upon the actual
occupancy sensor state, the effective mode will be either
"occupied" or "standby."
Wall Modules:
¾ LONWORKS® wall modules
¾ Hardwired wall modules (e.g. T7460, T7560)
¾ Wireless wall modules (e.g. W7070+T7270 or RT7070)
Master / Slave Functionality:
The master / slave functionality allows easy adaptation to
changed room usage.

Benefits of Integrated Room Control
The Excel 12 functionality provides you with a number of
significant advantages:
Considerable Reduction in Energy Consumption:
• 25...75% savings on electrical energy consumption for
illumination.
• Decreased heat generated by electric lights, thus reducing
cooling energy requirements.
Increased Convenience:
• Occupancy sensor switches the light ON/OFF automatically.
• Constant light control always provides the correct lighting.
• Wireless control via ZAPP (see ZAPP System
Engineering, EN0B-0286GE51).
Increased Flexibility:
• Flexible room usage if a L
ONWORKS® wall module or
ZAPP (wireless remote control) is used.
Reduced Engineering Effort / Expenses:
• Just one L
ONWORKS® node (instead of two) is required to
cover HVAC and Light.
+ reduced engineering and installation effort (e.g. wiring,
binding, commissioning, etc.)
+ reduced integration effort
+ lower cost due to reduced number of LNS™ credits
+ lower hardware total loop costs
INTEROPERABILITY
The Excel 12 has been certified as per LONMARK® Application
Layer Guidelines V 3.3. and is thus interoperable with all
other devices in open L
party devices).
