EXCEL 10 CHILLED CEILING CONTROLLER LNS-PLUGINS USER GUIDE
INTRODUCTION
Description of Devices
The W7763C, D and E Controllers are three Chilled Ceiling
Controllers in the Excel 10 family product line. They cover a
wide range of control applications including radiators,
induction units, chilled ceiling, and chilled beam 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
features make the W7763 especially suitable for systems
using electric heat and compressors. The W7763 Controllers
are capable of stand-alone operation; however, optimum
functional benefits are achieved when the network
communication capabilities are used.
The zone controlled by the W7763 Controller will typically use
an Excel 10 wall module with a temperature sensor for space
temperature measurement, setpoint adjustment, bypass
push-button, status LED, and LCD display. See page 2 for
form numbers of Excel 10 wall module literature for further
information.

Control Application
Chilled Ceiling systems in commercial buildings control room
temperature through the control of heat and/or cold water
valves. W7763 Chilled Ceiling Controllers cover a wide range
of applications including radiators, induction units, chilled
ceiling and chilled beam, and fan coil units. The Chilled
Ceiling controller is typically connected to an Excel 10 wall

Control Provided
The basic control sequence for a W7763 Chilled Ceiling
Controller 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.
LonWorksLonWorks
W7763 Chilled Ceiling Controllers use a PID control algorithm
where each of the three parameters can be configured. There
are additional configurable boost parameters (HeatBoost and
CoolBoost) which 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.

Setpoints
Setpoint Knob
W7763C and D Chilled Ceiling Controllers have a built-in
setpoint potentiometer. W7763E controllers may have an
Excel 10 wall module with setpoint potentiometer connected
to them. When configured setpoint knob, the value from the
setpoint knob is used to calculate the Cooling or Heating
Occupied Setpoint. There are two options 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) which is added to the software
occupied setpoints for the heat and the cool modes (Cooling
Occupied Setpoint and Heating Occupied Setpoint). 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:
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 Minimum Limit Setpoint
Pot and Maximum Limit Setpoint Pot. 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
Minimum Limit Setpoint Pot, and the highest actual setpoint
allowed is equal to Maximum Limit Setpoint Pot. When the
setpoint knob is configured to be Relative, the lowest actual
setpoint allowed is equal to Heating Occupied Setpoint Minimum Limit Setpoint Pot, and the highest allowed is equal
to Cooling Occupied Setpoint + Maximum Limit Setpoint Pot.
Setpoint from Network
When not configured to use the wall module, nviSetPt must
be bound to another node that provides a setpoint. When
bound and a valid update is received, nviSetPtis used with the
appropriate ZEB:
The Unoccupied setpoint does not depend on nviSetPt at all.
Setpoint Offset
Third party nodes may be bound to nviSetPtOffset to shift the
setpoint in the range of -10 delta °C to +10 delta °C.

Bypass
Bypass Mode
During Unoccupied periods, the bypass push-button (either on
the controller itself or 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
nviManOccCmd 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 (nviTodEvent network input)
switches the mode to Occupied.
4. The network input nviManOccCmd is set to to OC_NUL.
The LED on the Wall Module indicates the current bypass
mode status (see Wall Module Status LED section).
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 also
Wall Module Bypass push-button section.
Continuous Unoccupied Mode
This mode is entered when a wall module is configured to
allow it and the bypass button is pressed for four to seven
seconds. This mode can also be entered via a network
command (nviManOccCmd 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
W7763C Chilled Ceiling Controllers have a built-in bypass
push-button. W7763D and E controllers may have an
Excel 10 wall module with bypass push-button connected to
them. There are three ways to configure the bypass pushbutton (see Table 14 for further information):
NONE
BYPASS_UNOCCUPIED
BYPASS_ONLY
Override Priority
The Chilled Ceiling controller can be configured to arbitrate
overrides coming from the bypass push-button and the
network. There are two possible states which have the
following meanings:
LAST_WINS-Specifies that the last command received
from either the wall module or nviManOccCmd
determines the effective override state.
NETWORK_WINS-Specifies that when nviManOccCmd is
not OC_NUL, then the effective occupancy is
nviManOccCmd 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 setting nviManOccCmd to OC_STANDBY via the
network. When in Standby mode, the W7763 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 nviWindow. 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 CHILLED CEILING CONTROLLER LNS PLUG-INS USER GUIDE
Demand Limit Control
When a high-electrical-demand signal is received from an
energy management system via the LonWorks network
(nviDlcShed), the controller uses Demand Limit Control Bump
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, Cool Rec Ramp and Heat Rec
Ramp, 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 Chilled Ceiling 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
nviManOccCmd or from the bypass push-button.

Condensation Protection
W7763 Chilled Ceiling Controllers have several possibilities
for protection from condensation, using a calculated or
configured dewpoint and/or condensation switch.
Dewpoint Calculation
If the controller has humidity and chilled water inputs, either
directly connected or from the network, it will actively calculate
the dewpoint based upon room temperature and humidity. If
configured to do so, the controller will close the cooling valve
and issue an alarm if the chilled water temperature drops
below the dewpoint plus a configurable safety band. If no
humidity input is available, the controller will use a fixed
configured dewpoint.
Condensation Switch
The digital input can be configured for a condensation switch
which will close the cooling valve when condensation is
detected. This feature is independent of the comparison of the
chilled water temperature to the dewpoint and remains active
even if the dewpoint protection is disabled.

Construction
Controllers
The Excel 10 W7763 Chilled Ceiling Controller is available in
three basic models. The W7763C and D have a built-in
setpoint adjustment knob, available in relative or absolute
(degrees C or degrees F) scales. The W7763C also has a
temperature sensor and bypass push-button and LED. The
W7763E has no built-in setpoint adjustment, temperature
sensor or bypass push-button, and as such requires setpoint
and temperature inputs either from a direct-connected wall
module or from the LonWorks network. All of the controllers
are powered by 24 Vac.
All wiring connections to the controllers are made at screw
terminal blocks accessible beneath a plastic safety cover.
Mounting dimensions are shown in Fig. 6.
CAUTION
Turn off power prior to connecting to or removing
connections from any terminals to avoid electrical
shock or equipment damage.

Type of Heating and Cooling Equipment
W7763 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).
W7763 controllers can operate with a variety of actuators for
heating and cooling equipment. Floating actuators can be
used which will require specifying the valve run time during
configuration of the controller. 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 which 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 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 which 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.
74-3332-2 10
EXCEL10 CHILLED CEILING CONTROLLER LNS PLUG-INS USER GUIDE
Fig. 8. Three-stage heating/cooling switching (defaults for switching levels and hysteresis shown).
Digital Input
There is a single digital input to the W7763 Controller which
may be configured to accommodate an occupancy sensor, a
window open/closed contact, a condensation detector, 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 which corresponds to the
condition of a closed contact (input high).
The control algorithm in the Chilled Ceiling 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.
When configured for a condensation switch, the controller will
close the cooling valve when condensation is detected.
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 Chilled Ceiling 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) even when aged.
Excel 10 Wall Module Options
A typical Chilled Ceiling installation requires 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).
The W7763C Chilled Ceiling Controller has the following
features built-in and requires no external wall module:
— setpoint adjustment
— bypass button
— status LED
— a LonWorks network access jack
The W7763D has a setpoint knob and LonWorks jack but may
require a wall module for temperature sensing and bypass
button/LED functions. The W7763E Controller has only the
LonWorks jack and would normally require a wall module.
IMPORTANT
Wall modules with fan speed switches must not be
used with W7763 Chilled Ceiling Controllers.
The Chilled Ceiling Controller can be configured to use a
return air sensor rather than the sensor in the controller or
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.

EXCEL10 CHILLED CEILING CONTROLLER LNS PLUG-INS USER GUIDE
Common Temperature Control (Master/Slave Controllers)
When one or more Chilled Ceiling Controllers serve a
common area and a single temperature sensor is to be used,
a master/slave arrangement can be configured. One Excel 10
Chilled Ceiling Controller is configured for the local wall
module with the desired options. The other Excel 10 Chilled
Ceiling 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.
See Appendix B, Configuring for Master/Slave
Operation, for more information,

Step 1. Plan The System
Plan the use of the W7763 Controllers according to the job
requirements. Determine the location, functionality and sensor
or actuator usage. Verify the sales estimate of the number of
W7763 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 LonWorks communication loop between controllers must
be laid out according to the guidelines applicable for 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 LonWorks network early in the job
engineering process to ensure their implementation when
configuring the controllers. (See Application Step 6. Plug-Ins
Configuration Screens, for information on the various Excel
10 Chilled Ceiling Controller parameters and on Excel 10
Chilled Ceiling 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 LonWorks
network. It must be determined and documented prior to
installation which T7770 Wall Modules will have their
LonWorks network jacks connected.
Step 2. Determine Other Bus Devices
Required
A maximum of 62 nodes can communicate on a single
LonWorks segment. If more nodes are required, a router is
necessary. Using a router allows up to 125 nodes, divided
between two LonWorks segments. The router accounts for
two of these nodes (one node on each side of the router).

The maximum length of a FTT LonWorks 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 LonWorks 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 Router to partition the
system into two segments.
In addition, all LonWorks segments require the installation of
a Bus Termination Module. For a FTT LonWorks 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 LonWorks
Termination Module subsection in Application Step 4 for more
details.
encoding. Wire the LonWorks network using level IV 22 AWG
or plenum rated level IV 22 AWG nonshielded, twisted pair,
solid conductor wire as the recommended wire size (see
Table 10 for part numbers). A FTT LonWorks 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 LonWorks terminals are connected to
each wire of the twisted pair.
LonWorks 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 LonWorks 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.

IMPORTANT
Notes on Communications Wiring:
• All field wiring must conform to local codes and
ordinances.
• Do not use different wire types or gauges on the
same LonWorks segment. The step change in
line impedance characteristics would cause
unpredictable reflections on the bus. When using
different types is unavoidable, use a Q7751A
Router at the junction.
74-3332-2 16
EXCEL10 CHILLED CEILING CONTROLLER LNS PLUG-INS USER GUIDE
• Do not use shielded cable for LonWorks 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 LonWorks cable.
• Make sure that neither of the LonWorks wires is
grounded.
Power Wiring
A power budget must be calculated for each Excel 10 W7763
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 W7763 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 W7763 Excel 10 Chilled Ceiling Controller.
Assume a W7763 unit with a thermal actuator for cooling
control and an electric actuator for heating. The power
requirements are:

Chilled Ceiling 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.

W7763C,D,E Excel 10 Chilled Ceiling Controller0.5
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, that 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 assure 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
which, 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.
74-3332-2
17
EXCEL10 CHILLED CEILING CONTROLLER LNS PLUG-INS USER GUIDE
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:

IMPORTANT
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 W7763 Controller (which has Triac outputs),
all output devices must be powered from the same
transformer as the one powering the W7763
Controller.
• Use the heaviest gauge wire available, up to
14 AWG (2.0 mm
(1.0 mm
connections.

) for all power and earth ground
• To minimize EMI noise, do not run Triac and/or relay
output wires in the same conduit as the input wires
or the LonWorks communications wiring.
• Unswitched 24 Vac power wiring can be run in the
same conduit as the LonWorks cable.
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 W7763 Chilled Ceiling Controller are shown in
Fig. 14. Table 11 gives additional details for output
connections.
NOTE: For field wiring, when two or more wires are to be
attached to the same connector block terminal, be
sure to twist them together. Deviation from this rule
can result in improper electrical contact. See Fig. 15.
