INTRODUCTION
Description of Devices
The W7762A and B Controllers are two Hydronic Controllers
in the Excel 10 family product line. They cover a wide range
of control applications including radiators, induction units, and
fan coil units with manual fan switching, and are suitable for
either wall mounting or unit mounting. Heating systems can
be water or electric, and cooling systems can be chilled water
supply or compressors. Extensive timing and interlock
features make the W7762 especially suitable for systems
using electric heat and compressors. The W7762 Controllers
are capable of stand-alone operation; however, optimum
functional benefits are achieved when the network
communication capabilities are used.

Control Application
Hydronic systems in commercial buildings control room
temperature through the control of heat and/or cold water
valves. The Hydronic controller is typically connected to an
Excel 10 wall module that incorporates a temperature sensor,
W7762B HYDRONIC
CONTROLLER
Fig. 2. Typical W7762 Hydronic control application.
Control Provided
The W7762 Hydronic Controllers provide room temperature
control for two and four pipe fan coil units. The basic control
sequence is shown in Fig. 3. As space temperature falls
below the heating setpoint, the heating output is increased.
As space temperature increases above the cooling setpoint,
the cooling output is modulated to 100%. Switching levels for
staged heating/cooling are configurable.

W7762 Hydronic controllers use a PID control algorithm
where each of the three parameters can be configured. There
are additional configurable boost parameters (HeatBoost and
CoolBoost) that specify a range outside of which the heating
or cooling outputs are turned on fully for faster response (for
thermal actuators this specifies the control hysteresis). The
controllers are delivered with factory defaults for each of the
parameters.

EXCEL10 HYDRONIC CONTROLLER SYSTEM ENGINEERING
Setpoints
Setpoint Knob
W7762A Hydronic controllers have a built-in setpoint
potentiometer. W7762B controllers may have an Excel 10
wall module with setpoint potentiometer connected to them.
When configured (UseWallModSpt), the value from the
setpoint knob is used to calculate the cooling or heating
Occupied setpoint. There are two options (SptKnob) that
determine how the setpoint to be used by the control
algorithm is calculated: Relative (or Offset) and Absolute
Middle. When configured for Relative, the Wall Module
setpoint knob represents a number from -5° to +5°C (-9° to
+9°F) that is added to the software occupied setpoints for the
heat and the cool modes (SptCoolOcc and SptHeatOcc).
When SptKnob is set to Absolute Middle, the setpoint knob
becomes the center of the Zero Energy Band (ZEB) between
the cooling and heating occupied setpoints. The range of the
ZEB is found by taking the difference between the configured
heating and cooling occupied setpoints; therefore, for
Absolute Middle, the actual setpoints are found as follows:
SrcRmTempSptEff (in cooling mode) = SrcRmTempSptHw
+ (SptCoolOcc - SptHeatOcc) / 2
SrcRmTempSptEff (in heating mode) = SrcRmTempSptHw
- (SptCoolOcc - SptHeatOcc) / 2
During Standby and Unoccupied modes, the remote setpoint
knob is ignored, and the configured setpoints for those modes
Setpoint Limits
Setpoint knob limits are provided by SptKnobLoLim and
SptKnobHiLim. The occupied setpoints used in the control
algorithms are limited by these parameters. When the
setpoint knob is configured to be Absolute Middle, the lowest
actual setpoint allowed is equal to SptKnobLoLim, and the
highest actual setpoint allowed is equal to SptKnobHiLim.
When the setpoint knob is configured to be Relative, the
lowest actual setpoint allowed is equal to SptHeatOcc SptKnobLoLim, and the highest allowed is equal to
SptCoolOcc + SptKnobHiLim.
Setpoint from Network
When not configured for UseWallModSpt, DestRmTempSpt
must be bound to another node that provides a setpoint.
When bound and a valid update is received, DestRmTempSpt
is used with the appropriate ZEB:
The Unoccupied setpoint does not depend on
DestRmTempSpt at all.
Setpoint Offset
Third party nodes may be bound to DestSptOffset to shift the
setpoint in the range of -10 delta °C to +10 delta °C.

EXCEL 10 HYDRONIC CONTROLLER SYSTEM ENGINEERING
Bypass
Bypass Mode
During Unoccupied periods, the bypass push-button on the
Wall Module may be used to cause the Occupied setpoints to
be used by the control algorithm. The mode may also be
initiated by setting DestManOcc to OC_BYPASS via the
network The controller remains in Bypass mode until:
1. The bypass timer has timed out, or
2. The user again presses the Wall Module push-button to
cancel Bypass mode, or
3. The occupancy schedule (DestSchedOcc network
input) switches the mode to Occupied.
4. The network input DestManOcc is set to to OC_NUL.
The Excel 10 wall module indicates the current bypass mode
status (see Excel 10 wall module literature for further
information).
Bypass Timer
When the bypass mode has been activated, the bypass timer
is set to BypTime (default of 180 minutes), at the end of which
the mode reverts to the original occupancy state (see Excel
10 wall module literature for further information).
Continuous Unoccupied Mode
This mode is entered when an Excel 10 wall module is
configured to allow it and:
• T7460 and T7770: The bypass button is pressed for four to
seven seconds (until the LED blinks),
• T7560: The bypass button is pressed for more than five
seconds (until flashing moon appears).
This mode can also be entered via a network command
(DestManOcc set to OC_UNOCCUPIED). The controller uses
the Unoccupied setpoints. The controller remains in this mode
indefinitely, or until the bypass button is pressed to exit the
mode, or a network command is sent to clear the mode.
Bypass Push-Button
The Hydronic Controller may have an Excel 10 wall module
with bypass push-button connected to it. There are three
ways to configure the bypass push-button (see Table 14 for
further information):
NONE
BYPASS_UNOCCUPIED
BYPASS_ONLY
Override Priority
The Hydronic controller can be configured to arbitrate
overrides coming from the Wall Module and the network.
There are two possible states that have the following
meanings:
LAST_WINS-Specifies that the last command received
from either the wall module or DestManOcc determines
the effective override state.
NETWORK_WINS-Specifies that when DestManOcc is not
OC_NUL, then the effective occupancy is DestManOcc
regardless of the wall module override state.
LED/LCD
LED Override
The wall module’s LED shows the override from the bypass
button or from the network.
• LED on ⇒ Override Bypass
• One flash per second ⇒ Override Unoccupied
• Two flashes per second ⇒ Override Standby or Occupied
• LED off ⇒ No Override
• Four flashes per second ⇒ Controller answers network
management wink command.
LED Occupancy
The wall module’s LED shows the effective occupancy mode.
• LED on ⇒ Effective Occupied or Bypass
• One flash per second ⇒ Effective Standby
• LED off ⇒ Effective Unoccupied
• Four flashes per second ⇒ Controller answers network
management wink command.
LCD Display
This mode is only used for T7560 Wall Modules. The
occupancy mode is represented by the following symbols:
⇒ Effective Occupied or Bypass
⇒ Effective Standby
⇒ Effective Unoccupied
⇒ Controller is off
and ⇒ Controller is off, frost protection is enabled.
Flashing symbols represent the Override mode:
⇒ Override Occupied or Bypass
⇒ Override Standby
⇒ Override Unoccupied
⇒ Controller answers the network management wink
command.
Energy-Saving Features
Standby Mode
The digital input for an occupancy sensor (usually a motion
detector) provides the controller with a means to enter an
energy-saving Standby mode whenever there are no people
in the room. Standby mode occurs when the scheduled
occupancy is Occupied and the occupancy sensor indicates
no people currently in the room. If no occupancy sensor is
connected directly to the controller, an occupancy sensor
from another node may be bound to the network input
DestOccSensor. The controller can also be put in Standby
mode by settin DestManOcc to OC_STANDBY via the
network. When in Standby mode, the Hydronic Controller
uses the Standby Cooling or Heating setpoint (SptCoolStby or
SptHeatStby).
Window Sensor
The digital input for a window contact provides the algorithm
with a means to disable its temperature control activities if
someone has opened a window or door in the room. If no
window sensor is connected to the controller, the sensor from
another node may used by binding it to DestWindow. Frost
protection remains active (controller enables heating circuit
with room temperatures below 46°F (8°C)). Normal
temperature control resumes when the window closes.

EXCEL10 HYDRONIC CONTROLLER SYSTEM ENGINEERING
Demand Limit Control
When a high-electrical-demand signal is received from an
energy management system via the E-Bus network
(DestDldShed), the controller uses DlcStptBump to shift the
current setpoint (down for heating and up for cooling) by the
configured value to save energy.
Fig. 4. Optimum start - heating.
Optimum Start Gradients
There are two parameters, RecRampCool and
RecRampHeat, that can be configured to cause the cooling
and heating setpoints respectively to ramp up to their
Occupied settings from their Unoccupied or Standby settings
prior to scheduled Occupancy. The Hydronic controller uses
the configured rates to determine the optimum time to start
increasing the heating or cooling demand. See the following
figures. The configuration parameters are in K/hour.
Fig. 5. Optimum start - cooling.
Occupancy Status
The occupancy status is determined based upon the following table. Manual override may come from the network input
DestManOcc or from the bypass push-button.

Fan Interlock (not available through E-Vision)
A fan interlock can be configured that prevents heating or
cooling outputs from being turned on in the event of a fan
failure (where an airflow detector is installed to detect fan
failure). As the Hydronic Controller has no fan outputs, the
interlock feature is applicable only to systems with manual fan
switches.
Type of Heating and Cooling Equipment
W7762 controllers can operate with either two-pipe or fourpipe systems. A two-pipe system requires a changeover input
to the controller (hardware or network input).
W7762 controllers can operate with a variety of actuators for
heating and cooling equipment. Floating actuators requiring
that the valve run time be specified during configuration of the
controller can be used. Valve action can be configured as
either direct or reverse. When in a two-pipe system with a
changeover input, a floating actuator can be used that has the
middle position (50%) as the zero energy position. The cool
range is then 0 to 50% and the heat range 50 to 100%. The
output must be configured as floating-mid.
Multi-stage systems can be controlled with up to three
different stages of heating/cooling control. Switching levels
are specified in % of control level (see Fig. 8) as is a
hysteresis setting that applies to all switching levels. Heating
and Cooling switching levels and hysteresis are specified
separately. Minimum off times can be configured, and a
minimum on time can also be configured.
PWM electronic valves and thermal actuators can also be
connected and can be configured as either direct or reverse
action. The cycle time must be specified during configuration.
For PWM valves the zero and full positions must also be
configured.
74-2935-3r0909 12
EXCEL 10 HYDRONIC CONTROLLER SYSTEM ENGINEERING
Fig. 8. Three-stage heating/cooling switching (defaults for switching levels and hysteresis shown).
Digital Input
There is a single digital input to the W7762 Controller that
may be configured to accommodate an occupancy sensor, a
window open/closed contact, an airflow detector for fan failure
detection (not available through E-Vision), or a changeover
input. It is possible to configure the input for either normally
open or normally closed contacts for any of the switches.
Choose the option that corresponds to the condition of a
closed contact (input high).
The control algorithm in the Hydronic Controller uses the
Occupancy Sensor, if configured, to determine the Effective
Occupancy mode of operation (see Table 3). If the Time Of
Day (TOD) schedule indicates an Occupied state, and the
Occupancy Sensor contact is closed, the Effective Occupancy
mode will be Occupied. However, if the TOD schedule
indicates an Occupied state and the Occupancy Sensor
contact is open, then the Effective Occupancy mode will be
Standby. The flow control algorithm will then control to the
Standby Cooling and Heating Setpoints.
Configuring the digital input for movement or no movement
(dependent upon normally-open or normally-closed contacts)
adds a delay of 15 minutes to the occupancy sensor such that
the space is considered occupied until 15 minutes has
elapsed since the last movement is detected.
If the digital input is configured as a window open/closed
contact, heating and cooling control will be disabled while the
window is detected open. Frost protection will be in effect,
however, and heating control will be enabled if the
temperature drops below 46°F (8°C). A set of contacts may
be wired in series for multiple windows.
If the digital input is configured for an airflow detector (fan
status), heating and cooling control will be disabled for a fan
failure (no airflow detected). This option is not available
through E-Vision.
The input may also be configured for changeover for a twopipe system. The input can accommodate a switch that is
closed for heating and open for cooling or open for heating
and closed for cooling.
NOTE: The Excel 10 Hydronic Controller has limited power
available (only 1.5 mA/4.8 V) for checking the digital
input for contact closures. Ensure that contacts used
remain within the specified resistance tolerance
range (closed ≤ 400 ohms) even when aged.

EXCEL10 HYDRONIC CONTROLLER SYSTEM ENGINEERING
Excel 10 Wall Module Options
A typical Hydronic installation will include an Excel 10 wall
module containing a 20k ohm NTC room temperature sensor
and additional features depending on the wall module type
(see Excel 10 wall module literature for further information).
IMPORTANT
Wall modules with fan speed switches must not be
used with W7762 Hydronic Controllers.
The Hydronic Controller can be configured to use a return air
sensor rather than the sensor in the wall module. Setpoint
adjustments can be configured as relative or absolute, and
upper and lower limits can be set. The bypass button can be
configured to override the control mode to occupied for a
configurable bypass time and to override the control mode
indefinitely to unoccupied or it may be configured to only
override to occupied. The button may also be used to cancel
the override.
Common Temperature Control (Master/Slave Controllers)
When one or more Hydronic Controllers serve a common
area and a single temperature sensor is to be used, a
master/slave arrangement can be configured. One Excel 10
Hydronic Controller is configured for the local wall module
with the desired options. The other Excel 10 Hydronic
Controller(s) will be configured without wall modules and with
certain network variables bound with the master controller.
Refer to Appendix B of this document for more details.
IMPORTANT
The slave units must have the same HVAC
equipment connected to it as the master units.
The slave units will not use any internal temperature
setpoints or control algorithms. The master controller
determines heating/cooling output based upon
setpoints and occupancy and command mode status
and communicates this to the slave via the network.

Operation, for more information,

APPLICATION STEPS
Overview
Steps one through seven, see Table 7, address considerations for engineering an Excel 10 Hydronic System.
These steps are guidelines intended to aid understanding of
the product I/O options, bus arrangement choices, configuration options and the Excel 10 Hydronic Controllers’ role
in the overall EXCEL 5000® System architecture.

Step 1. Plan The System
Plan the use of the W7762 Controllers according to the job
requirements. Determine the location, functionality and sensor
or actuator usage. Verify the sales estimate of the number of
W7762 Controllers and wall modules required for each model
type. Also check the number and type of output actuators and
other accessories required.
When planning the system layout, consider potential
expansion possibilities to allow for future growth. Planning is
very important to be prepared for adding HVAC systems and
controllers in future projects.

The E-Bus communication loop between controllers must be
laid out according to the guidelines applicable for that
topology. Hydronic Controllers use FTT technology that
allows daisy chain, star, loop or combinations of these bus
configurations. See Application Step 3. Lay Out
Communications and Power Wiring, for more information on
bus wiring layout, and see Fig. 10, Fig. 11, and Fig. 12 in
Application Step 4. Prepare Wiring Diagrams, for wiring
details.
It is important to understand the interrelationships between
controllers on the E-Bus early in the job engineering process
to ensure their implementation when configuring the
controllers. (See Application Step 6. Configure Controllers, for
information on the various Excel 10 Hydronic Controller
parameters and on Excel 10 Hydronic Controller point
mapping).
The T7770 Wall Modules can be installed only as I/O devices,
or additional wiring can be run to them for the E-Bus network
to allow a CARE/E-Vision operator terminal to have access to
the E-Bus. It must be determined and documented prior to
installation that T7770 Wall Modules will have their E-Bus
network jacks connected.
Step 2. Determine Other Bus Devices
Required
A maximum of 62 nodes can communicate on a single E-Bus
segment. If more nodes are required, a router is necessary.
Using a router allows up to 125 nodes, divided between two
E-Bus segments. The router accounts for two of these nodes
(one node on each side of the router); a Q7750A Excel 10
Zone Manager can take one node and two slots are available
for operator terminal nodes, leaving 120 nodes available for
Excel 10 Hydronic Controllers. All 120 controllers are able to
communicate through the router. A Q7750A Excel 10 Zone
Manager is required to connect the E-Bus to the standard
EXCEL 5000 System C-Bus. Each Excel 10 Zone Manager
can support no more than 120 W7762s. This is a limit set in
the Excel 10 Zone Manager database and is an absolute
maximum.
Each E-Bus segment is set up with two unused nodes to allow
for an E-Vision operator terminal to be connected to the EBus. Multiple E-Vision terminals can be connected to the bus
at the same time. Table 8 summarizes the E-Bus segment
configuration rules.

Table 8. E-Bus configuration rules and device node numbers.
One E-Bus Segment Example Maximum Number of Nodes Equals 62
One Q7750A Excel 10 Zone Manager 1 node
Port for operator terminal access (E-Vision) 1 node
Maximum number of Excel 10 Controllers 60 nodes (wall modules are not E-Bus nodes)
Total 62 nodes
Two E-Bus Segments Example Maximum Number of Nodes Equals 125
One Q7750A Excel 10 Zone Manager 1 node
One Q7751A Router 2 nodes (1 in each Bus Segment)
Ports for operator terminal access (two E-Vision terminals) 2 nodes (1 in each Bus Segment)
Maximum number of Excel 10 Controllers in segment number one 60 nodes (wall modules are not E-Bus nodes)
Maximum number of Excel 10 Controllers in segment number two 60 nodes (wall modules are not E-Bus nodes)
Total 125 nodes
The maximum length of an FTT E-Bus segment is 4600 ft
(1400 m) for a daisy chain configuration or 1650 ft (500 m)
total wire length and (400 m) node-to-node for any other type
of configuration.
NOTE: For FTT E-Bus segments the distance from each
transceiver to all other transceivers and to the
termination must not exceed the maximum node-tonode distance. If multiple paths exist, the longest
one should be used for the calculation.
If longer runs are required, add a Q7751A Router to partition
the system into two segments. It is not legal to use more than
one router per Excel 10 Zone Manager.
In addition, all E-Bus segments require the installation of a
Bus Termination Module. For an FTT E-Bus segment, one or
two Termination Modules may be required depending upon
the bus configuration. See Application Step 3. Lay Out
Communications and Power Wiring, and the E-Bus
Termination Module subsection in Application Step 4. for
more details.
The communications bus, E-Bus, is a 78-kilobit serial link that
uses transformer isolation and differential Manchester
encoding. Wire the E-Bus using level IV 22 AWG or plenum
rated level IV 22 AWG non-shielded, twisted pair, solid
conductor wire as the recommended wire size (see Table 10
for part numbers). An FTT E-Bus can be wired in daisy chain,
star, loop or any combination thereof as long as the maximum
wire length requirements given in Step 2 are met.
NOTE: Due to the transformer isolation, the bus wiring does
not have a polarity; that is, it is not important which
of the two E-Bus terminals are connected to each
wire of the twisted pair.
E-Bus networks can be configured in a variety of ways, but
the rules listed in Table 8 always apply. Fig. 10 and Fig. 11
depict two typical daisy chain E-Bus network layouts; one as a
single bus segment that has 60 nodes or less, and one
showing two segments. Fig. 12 shows examples of free
topology bus layouts using 2000-series devices. The bus
configuration is set up using the Network Manager tool from
within E-Vision (see the E-Vision User Guide).

IMPORTANT
Notes on Communications Wiring:
• Do not use different wire types or gauges on the
same E-Bus segment. The step change in line
impedance characteristics would cause
unpredictable reflections on the bus. When the
use of different types is unavoidable, use a
Q7751A Router at the junction.
• All field wiring must conform to local codes and
ordinances.
74-2935-3r0909 18
EXCEL 10 HYDRONIC CONTROLLER SYSTEM ENGINEERING
• Do not use shielded cable for E-Bus wiring runs.
The higher capacitance of the shielded cable will
cause degradation of communications
throughput. In noisy (high EMI) environments,
avoid wire runs parallel to noisy power cables, or
lines containing lighting dimmer switches, and
keep at least 3 in. (76 mm) of separation between
noisy lines and the E-Bus cable.
• Make sure that neither of the E-Bus wires is
grounded.
Power Wiring
A power budget must be calculated for each Excel 10 W7762
Controller to determine the required transformer size for
proper operation. A power budget is simply the summing of
the maximum power draw ratings (in VA) of all the devices to
be controlled by an Excel 10 W7762 Controller. This includes
the controller itself, the equipment and various contactors and
transducers, as appropriate, for the Excel 10 configuration.
Power Budget Calculation Example
The following is an example power budget calculation for a
typical W7762 Excel 10 Hydronic Controller.
Assume a W7762 unit with a thermal actuator for cooling
control and an electric actuator for heating. The power
requirements are:
DeviceVAInformation obtained from
Excel 10 W7762 0.5 W7762
Hydronic Controller Specification Data
Z100A 12.0 Product Data
Thermal actuator
M7410A 0.7 Product Data
Electric Actuator
TOTAL: 13.2 VA
The Excel 10 System example requires 13.2 VA of peak
power; therefore, a 48 VA CRT 2 (20 VA AT20A for US)
Transformer is able to provide ample power for this controller
and its accessories.
Table 9. VA Ratings For Transformer Sizing.
Device Description VA
W7762A,B Excel 10 Hydronic Controller 0.5
T7560A DWM 0.2
Z100A Thermal actuator 12.0
M7410A Electric actuator 0.7
For contactors and similar devices, the in-rush power ratings
should be used as the worst-case values when performing
power budget calculations. Also, the application engineer
must consider the possible combinations of simultaneously
energized outputs and calculate the VA ratings accordingly.
The worst case, which uses the largest possible VA load,
should be determined when sizing the transformer.
Line Loss
Excel 10 Controllers must receive a minimum supply voltage
of 20 Vac. If long power or output wire runs are required, a
voltage drop due to Ohms Law (I x R) line loss must be
considered. This line loss can result in a significant increase
in total power required and thereby affect transformer sizing.
The following example is an I x R line-loss calculation for a
200 ft (61m) run from a transformer to a W7750 CVAHU
Controller drawing 37 VA using two 18 AWG (1.0 mm
2
) wires.
The formula is:
Loss = [length of round-trip wire run (ft)] x [resistance in
wire (ohms per ft)] x [current in wire (amperes)]
From specification data:
18 AWG twisted pair wire has 6.38 ohms per 1000 feet.
Loss = [(400 ft) x (6.38/1000 ohms per ft)] x
[(37 VA)/(24V)] = 4.0 volts
This means that four volts are going to be lost between the
transformer and the controller; therefore, to ensure that the
controller receives at least 20 volts, the transformer must
output more than 24 volts. Because all transformer output
voltage levels depend on the size of the connected load, a
larger transformer outputs a higher voltage than a smaller one
for a given load. Fig. 13 shows this voltage load dependence.
In the preceding I x R loss example, even though the controller load is only 37 VA, a standard 40 VA transformer is not
sufficient due to the line loss. From Fig. 13, a 40 VA transformer is just under 100 percent loaded (for the 37 VA controller) and, therefore, has a secondary voltage of 22.9 volts.
(Use the lower edge of the shaded zone in Fig. 13 that
represents the worst-case conditions.) When the I x R loss of
four volts is subtracted, only 18.9 volts reaches the controller,
which is not enough voltage for proper operation.
In this situation, the engineer basically has three alternatives:
1. Use a larger transformer; for example, if an 80 VA
model is used, see Fig. 13, an output of 24.4 volts
minus the four volt line loss supplies 20.4 volts to the
controller. Although acceptable, the four-volt line-loss in
this example is higher than recommended. See the
following IMPORTANT.
2. Use heavier gauge wire for the power run. 14 AWG (2.0
2
mm
) wire has a resistance of 2.57 ohms per 1000 ft
that, using the preceding formula, gives a line-loss of
only 1.58 volts (compared with 4.02 volts). This would
allow a 40 VA transformer to be used. 14 AWG (2.0
2
mm
) wire is the recommended wire size for 24 Vac
wiring.
3. Locate the transformer closer to the controller, thereby
reducing the length of the wire run, and the line loss.
The issue of line-loss is also important in the case of the output wiring connected to the Triac digital outputs. The same
formula and method are used. The rule to remember is to
keep all power and output wire runs as short as practical.
When necessary, use heavier gauge wire, a bigger transformer, or install the transformer closer to the controller.
19 74-2935-3r0909
EXCEL10 HYDRONIC CONTROLLER SYSTEM ENGINEERING
IMPORTANT
No installation should be designed where the line
loss is greater than two volts to allow for nominal
operation if the primary voltage drops to 102 Vac
(120 Vac minus 15%) or 193 Vac (230 minus 15%).
To meet the National Electrical Manufacturers Association
(NEMA) standards, a transformer must stay within the NEMA
limits. The chart in Fig. 13 shows the required limits at various
loads.
With 100 percent load, the transformer secondary must
supply between 23 and 25 volts to meet the NEMA standard.
When a purchased transformer meets the NEMA standard
DC20-1986, the transformer voltage-regulating ability can be
considered reliable. Compliance with the NEMA standard is
voluntary.
The following Honeywell transformers meet this NEMA
standard:

Step 4. Prepare Wiring Diagrams
General Considerations
The purpose of this step is to assist the application engineer
in developing job drawings to meet job specifications. Wiring
details for the W7762 Hydronic Controller are shown in Fig.
16. Table 11 gives additional details for output connections.
NOTE: For field wiring, when two or more wires are to be
Table 10 lists wiring types, sizes, and length restrictions for
Excel 10 Hydronic Controller products.
If the W7762 Controller is used in UL 1995 equipment and the
primary power is more than 150 Vac, ground one side of the
transformer.
Fig. 14 Power wiring details for one Excel 10 per
transformer.
Notes on power wiring:
• All field wiring must conform to local codes and
ordinances or as specified on installation wiring
diagrams.
• To maintain NEC Class 2 and UL ratings, the
installation must use transformers of 100 VA or less
capacity.
• For multiple controllers operating from a single
transformer, the same side of the transformer
secondary must be connected to the same input
terminal in each controller.
• For the W7762 Controller (which has Triac outputs),
all output devices must be powered from the same
transformer as the one powering the W7762
Controller.
• Use the heaviest gauge wire available, up to
14 AWG (2.0 mm
(1.0 mm
2
) for all power and earth ground connec-
2
) with a minimum of 18 AWG
tions.
• To minimize EMI noise, do not run Triac and/or relay
output wires in the same conduit as the input wires
or the E-Bus communications wiring.
• Unswitched 24 Vac power wiring can be run in the
same conduit as the E-Bus cable.

sure to twist them together. Deviation from this rule
can result in improper electrical contact. See Fig. 15.

upon the configuration. Double termination is only required
when the network is a daisy-chain configuration and the total
wire length is greater than 1640 ft (500 m). The maximum
lengths described in Step 2 must be adhered to for either a
daisy chain or free topology E-Bus layout. See Fig. 17 for
connection details for a doubly terminated bus. See Fig. 18
for connection details for a singly terminated bus.

Step 6. Configure Controllers
General
The process of configuring Excel 10 Hydronic Controllers is
the same for all models. In all cases, the process involves
giving the Excel 10 Hydronic Controller information using the
E-Vision PC tool. Details on the use of E-Vision are found in
the E-Vision User Guide. The E-Vision User Guide provides
detailed steps for defining the Excel 10 Zone Manager (if
required); creating or starting an existing E-Vision project;
creating or selecting an existing network; building or modifying
the network; defining and copying controllers; mapping points
between controllers, the Zone Manager, and third-party
devices; connecting to controllers for commissioning,
monitoring and uploading; and various other functions. This
section will provide details on the configuration options found
in E-Vision for W7762 Controllers. If another E-Bus communication tool is used for set-up, see Appendix C for
reference information.
Using E-Vision
The configuration process is primarily performed in a series of
screens seen as file tabs under the menu option Application Selection and is easily followed using the tables included in
this section. There are 8 file tabs:
• Output
• Input
• Equipment Control
• Switching Levels
• Zone Options
• Miscellaneous
• PID
• Wiring (information only, no configuring).
The specific parameters to be configured in each of these
four categories are tabulated in the following subsections. For
a complete list of all Excel 10 Hydronic Controller User
Addresses, see Appendix C.
The configuration of the setpoints as either absolute or
relative is performed in E-Vision in the Project Defaults
screen.
NOTE: To set the following configuration parameters, use
the E-Vision PC tool. These sections describe the
various parameters and the allowable settings. For
details on using E-Vision, refer to the E-Vision User
Guide.

EXCEL 10 HYDRONIC CONTROLLER SYSTEM ENGINEERING
Commissioning
Commissioning refers to the activities performed to optimize
the Hydronic operation to meet the job specification
requirements and overall fine-tuning of the Hydronic control.
E-Vision is the tool used to perform these activities, as
described in Appendix B.
Job Commissioning
The CARE database that is generated for the Excel 10
Hydronic Controllers and associated Zone Managers contains
information concerning interrelationships and network
identifications. For this reason, it is mandatory to commission
(assign ID and download) all Excel 10 Hydronic Controllers
and the Zone Managers from a single database.
This project database can be backed up and restored to be
placed onto various PCs during the commissioning phase (but
only a single copy can be used at a time) and then must be
redesignated as the master and given to the next PC for
further commissioning.
CAUTION
If more than one copy of the same database is used in
multiple PCs to assign IDs and download to Excel 10
Hydronic Controllers, there is currently no means to
recombine the multiple copies into a single database
for any project. If multiple copies are used, it is
necessary to designate one database as the master
and recommission the controllers that do not indicate
being commissioned. If E-Vision displays an assigned
ID only the application needs to be downloaded to the
controller. If no ID has been assigned, assign ID(s)
and download the application to the controller(s). In
both of these cases, parameter changes (Setpoints,
Temperature Sensor Calibration, etc.) made with the
other PC database are lost and have to be re-entered.
ID Number
Each Excel 10 Hydronic Controller is shipped with an internal
Identification Number from the factory called the Neuron ID
This ID number is on a removable sticker on the side of the
W7762 housing and is required for identifying the controller
on the E-Bus network through E-Vision. The ID number can
either be manually entered or it can be received from the
network. Pressing the bypass push-button on the wall module
when the Hydronic controller is in its Service Mode or
pressing the service pin button on the controller itself causes
it to broadcast a service message containing its Neuron ID
number. E-Vision is used to perform both methods (see EVision User Guide).
Configuring the Zone Manager
The Q7750A Excel 10 Zone Manager sends out a one-time
L
ONWORKS message containing its 48-bit Neuron ID after any
power-up WARMSTART or when the Excel 10 Zone Manager
is reset by pressing the reset button.
IMPORTANT
Pressing the reset button on the Excel 10 Zone
Manager causes all application files in the Q7750A,
including the C-Bus setup, to be lost.
The L
ONWORKS message is sent out one time and only on the
E-Bus, not on the B-Port. The message will be the same as
the one generated after pressing the service button, which is
available on Excel 10 Hydronic Controllers via the wall
module bypass push-button. E-Vision uses this message to
assign the node address.
The Assign ID procedure is the same as for an Excel 10
Hydronic Controller except, instead of pressing the bypass
button, the reset button must be pressed or the power must
be cycled (down then up) on the Q7750A Excel 10 Zone
Manager.
Excel 10 Hydronic Controller Point Mapping
In typical Excel 10 Hydronic Systems, there are often
variables that contain values or information that must be
shared with devices on the C-Bus. E-Vision is used to perform
these operations through the Point Mapping function. Mapped
points are available to the C-Bus. Table 20 lists Hydronic
Controller source variables for mapping, and Table 21 lists
variables from other sources that may be mapped to Hydronic
Controller input variables. See Appendix D for a complete list
of all Excel 10 Hydronic Controller User Addresses.

Checkout and Test manuals for these products. See
Applicable Literature section for form numbers.
Alarms
When an Excel 10 Hydronic Controller has an alarm
condition, it reports it to the central node on the E-Bus
(typically, the Excel 10 Zone Manager) via the variable
nvoAlarm. See Table 22. The information contained in
nvoAlarm is:
• Subnet Number: The E-Bus subnet that contains the
Excel 10 Hydronic Controller node that has the alarm
condition. Subnet 1 is on the Zone Manager side of the
router; Subnet 2 is on the opposite side.
• Node Number: The Excel 10 Hydronic Controller node
that has the alarm condition.
• Alarm Type: The specific alarm being issued and return
to normal. An Excel 10 Hydronic Controller can provide
the alarm types listed in Table 22.
All current alarms are contained in a variable called
nvoAlarmStatus (User Addresses SrcAlarmStatus1,
SrcAlarmStatus2, and SrcAlarmStatus3) that is composed of
three bytes (nvoAlarmStatus.alarm_bit[n] with n = 0 through
2) with a bit corresponding to each of the alarms listed in
Table 22. The coding is ordered in that the least significant bit
of nvoAlarmStatus.alarm_bit[0] corresponding to alarm type 1,
the most significant bit corresponding to alarm type 8, the
least significant bit of nvoAlarmStatus.alarm_bit[1]
corresponding to alarm type 9, and so on. Even alarms that
are suppressed in nvoAlarm (see below) are contained in
nvoAlarmStatus.
Also, the Excel 10 Hydronic Controller variables,
nvoAlarmLog.type[n], where n is 0 through 4, (User
Addresses SrcAlarmLog1 through SrcAlarmLog5) that store
the last five alarms to occur in the controller, are available.
These points can be viewed through XBS or E-Vision.
Certain alarm conditions are suppressed conditionally as
follows:
If an input network variable with failure detect is bound to the
same node as nvoAlarm, then nvoAlarm and nvoAlarmLog do
not report the related Hydronic Controller variable receive
failure error and its associated return to normal. Suppression
occurs only when the nvoAlarm is bound to only one node
using L
ONWORKS subnet/node addressing and only after the
input variable has actually received a network variable from
the node since the latest application restart (or power-up

Broadcasting the Service Message
The Service Message allows a device on the E-Bus to be
positively identified. The Service Message contains the controller Neuron ID number and can therefore be used to confirm the physical location of a particular Excel 10 Hydronic
Controller in a building.
When an Assign Neuron ID command is issued from
E-Vision, the node goes into the SERVICE_MESSAGE mode
for one minute. In the SERVICE_MESSAGE mode, pressing
the occupancy override button on the remote wall module
causes the Service Message to be broadcast on the network.
All other functions are normal in the SERVICE_MESSAGE
mode. If a Hydronic Controller does not have a wall module
with a bypass push-button connected, press the service
button on the controller itself located as shown in the following
figure.
SERVICE LED
W7762 Controller Status LED
The LED at the top right of the controller provides an
indication of device status. The LED has the following states:
1. Off—no power to the processor.
2. Continuous on—processor is initialized state.
3. Slow blink—controlling, normal state.
4. Fast blink—controller in alarm.
Manual Mode
The Hydronic Controller can be put into a manual mode that
disables the control algorithms and allows manual setting of
outputs for system checkout. The variable nviManualMode
must be set to Mode_Manual using the E-Vision PC tool.
Inputs are read and digital filtering of analog inputs is turned
off to speed up settling time. Input network variables are
received, and output network variables are sent periodically.
Triac outputs can be set to any combination of on/off or can
be set to a test position based upon the configured valve
runtime/cycle time. The override LED can be commanded
on/off in this mode also. See the E-Vision User Guide section
for Manual Mode for detailed procedures.

Temperature Sensor Calibration
The temperature sensor in the Excel10 wall modules can be
calibrated to correct for sensor inaccuracies, wire resistance,
etc. This allows the Excel 10 Hydronic Controller to sense the
space temperature with a high degree of accuracy.
Procedure
Select the controller being worked on with E-Vision (see the
E-Vision User Guide for details on using E-Vision
From within E-Vision, with the desired Hydronic plant loaded
and the SLTA (Q7752A) connected to the E-Bus or via the BPort of an Excel 10 Zone Manager, perform the following
procedure:
1. Select a controller symbol from a network diagram.
2. Click on Calibrate from the Controller menu. Once
E-Vision logs on to the controller, the Room Temperature Calibration dialog box appears.
3. The box displays the Current Value of the sensor and
the current Offset; it also contains a field for entering
the actual Measured Value. When a value is typed in
and Calibrate is clicked, the offset value is
automatically calculated, displayed, and written to the
Excel 10 Hydronic Controller.

EXCEL 10 HYDRONIC CONTROLLER SYSTEM ENGINEERING
APPENDIX B. CONFIGURING FOR MASTER/SLAVE OPERATION
More than one W7762 Hydronic Controller may be used to
control the temperature of a room. In this situation one controller must be identified as the master unit that will perform
the temperature control algorithm. The other Hydronic controllers in the room are designated as slave units, and their
control algorithms are disabled. The slave units receive
heating and cooling output information from the master controller via network variables sent across the E-Bus. There can
be a maximum of one wall module active in the room, and it
must be wired directly to the master controller. If a slave
controller has a wall module connected to it, the wall module
will be ignored.
Configuration of the master controller is the same as for any
controller operating alone in a room. Configuration of the
slave controllers must follow the rules described in this
section. The following sections correspond to the screens in
E-Vision used for configuring Hydronic controllers. An
additional section discusses binding of network variables to
support master/slave configurations.
Output Configuration Options
Slave devices must have their outputs configured identically
with the master controller. The same system type and
actuator types must be used. Valve run times, cycle times,
and PWM zero and full position configuration options must be
the same as well.
Input Configuration Options
Slave controllers may have wall modules connected to them,
but they must be deactivated while the controllers are
operating as slave units. They must be configured for no temperature sensor. The digital input may be used on the
slave units for window open/closed or airflow (fan fail)
detection and must be configured as such. In the case of
window sensing, the window status network variable must be
mapped to the master controller as the slave controller does
not execute the control algorithm.
Equipment Control Options
Valve action and fan interlock settings must be the same as
for the master controller. Output staging hysteresis and
minimum stage off times should be the same as in the master
controller.
All heating and cooling stage switching levels should be
identical to those of the master controller.
Zone Control Options
All zone temperature control options including PID settings
and miscellaneous settings are used only by the master
controller and are ignored in the slave units.
Network Variable Binding
In a master/slave configuration, the control algorithm is
executed in the master controller only. Heating and cooling
output as calculated by the control algorithm is then sent via
the network to the slave controllers. The master controller
output variables nvoHeatOutput (user address - SrcHeatPos)
and nvoCoolOutput (user address - SrcCoolPos) must be
bound using E-Vision (see E-Vision User Guide) to the slave
input variables nviManHeat (user address - DestManHeat)
and nviManCool (user address - DestManCool), respectively.
For a master/slave system using heat/cool changeover, the
master controller output variable nvoApplicMode (user
address SrcHvacMode) must be bound to the slave
controllers’ input variable nviApplicMode (user address DestHvacMode).
The active wall module must be connected to the master
controller.

fixed interval.
NOTES:
1. Mapped points can be viewed and changed, on C-Bus devices such as an XI581, XI582 and XI584 and on an XBS
central and LiveCARE.
2. All Excel 10 points, mappable and calibration, configuration and internal data sharing points, can be viewed and
changed, as allowed, via Direct Access (DA) mode in the XBS subsystem menu or via XI584.
NOTE: Table C5 includes network variables related to fan control and reheat. The W7762 Hydronic Controller does not have
outputs for direct connection of these devices, however the network inputs and outputs could be used for a
master/slave configuration with a slave controller that does have such outputs (e.g., W7752D). Such a configuration is
not recommended. For more information about these network variables, see form number 74-2961, W7752 Fan Coil

APPENDIX D. Q7750A EXCEL 10 ZONE MANAGER POINT ESTIMATING GUIDE.
Memory size approximation is shown in Fig. 21: (All sizes in
bytes.) When memory size is less than 110 Kbytes, the size is
adequate.
When memory size is between 110 and 128 Kbytes, the
application may be too large. The user must expect to reduce
the application complexity, reduce the number of attached
Excel 10 Hydronic Controllers or distribute the Excel 10
Hydronic Controllers among more than one Zone Manager.
When memory size is greater than 128 Kbytes, the size is too
large. The application size must be reduced as described
above.
Approximate Memory Size Estimating
Procedure.
1. Determine the number of points per controller required
at the Central (for example, XBS).
NOTE: All remaining points that are not mapped are
available for accessing through the Direct Access feature.
2. Calculate the number of Excel 10 Zone Manager
program points that will be used in the control logic and
in the switching table.
3. Estimate the program complexity of the Zone Manager
(one of three levels).
a. No time programs, control logic, or switching
tables.
b. 10 Kbytes of control logic (one time program, five
switching tables, and five control loops).
c. 20 Kbytes of control logic (multiple time
programs, ten switching tables, and ten control
loops).
Use Fig. 21 to determine the number of Excel 10
Controllers that can be connected to the Zone
Manager.
NOTE: Where the number of Excel 10 Controllers
exceeds 60 a router is required.
4. Repeat the calculation for each Q7750A Excel 10 Zone
Manager in the project.
Fig. 21. Point capacity estimate for Zone Manager.
The exact equation to use to calculate memory size is:
Memory size = 21,780 byte
+ 4096 byte (in case of a time program)
+ CARE Control Program
+ 14 byte x time points x Excel 10 Controllers
+ 50 byte x Excel 10 Controllers
+ map complexity x Excel 10 Controllers x mapped points
+ 57 byte x C-Bus points
+ 7488 byte x Excel 10 Controller types
Where:
time points = number of switch points in time
program per Excel 10 Hydronic
Controller
Excel 10 Controllers = number of attached Excel 10
Hydronic Controllers
C-Bus points = including mapped points and

others; for example, Remote
Points
Mapped points = number of mapped points for
each Hydronic Controller,
including One-to-Many and
Many-to-One mechanism
Excel 10 Controller types = number of different Excel 10
Controller types (currently one)
Map complexity =

using points with read/write
