IMPORTANT
Notes on communications wiring:
• All field wiring must conform to local codes and ordi-
nances or as specified on installation wiring dia-
grams.
• Approved cable types for L
ON
W
ORKS
Bus communi-
cations wiring is Level IV 22 AWG (0.34 mm
2
) ple-
num or non-plenum rated unshielded, twisted pair,
solid conductor wire. For nonplenum areas, use
Level IV 22 AWG (0.34 mm
2
), such as U.S. part
AK3781 (one pair) or U.S. part AK3782 (two pair). In
plenum areas, use plenum-rated Level IV, 22 AWG
(0.34 mm
2
) such as U.S. part AK3791 (one pair) or
U.S. part AK3792 (two pair). See Tables 9 and 11 for
part numbers. Contact Echelon Corp. Technical Sup-
port for the recommended vendors of Echelon
approved cables.
• Unswitched 24 Vac power wiring can be run in the
same conduit as the L
ON
W
ORKS
Bus cable.
• Do not use different wire types or gauges on the
same L
ON
W
ORKS
Bus segment. The step change in
line impedance characteristics causes unpredictable
reflections on the bus. When using different types is
unavoidable, use a Q7751A,B Router at the junction.
• 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
L
ON
W
ORKS
Bus cable.
• Make sure that neither of the L
ON
W
ORKS
Bus wires
is grounded.
Power Wiring
A power bud
g
et must be calculated for each Excel 10 W7750
Controller to determine the re
q
uired transformer size for
proper operation. A power bud
g
et is simpl
y
the summin
g
of
the maximum power draw ratin
g
s
(
in VA
)
of all the devices to
be controlled b
y
an Excel 10 W7750 Controller. This includes
the controller itself, the e
q
uipment actuators
(
ML6161, or
other motors
)
and various contactors and transducers, as
appropriate, for the Excel 10 confi
g
uration.
POWER BUDGET CALCULATION EXAMPLE
The followin
g
is an example power bud

et calculation for a
t

pical Excel 10 W7750B Controller.
Assume a W7750 unit with a fan, two sta
g
es of D/X coolin
g
,
modulatin
g
steam valve for heatin
g
, and modulatin

economizer dampers. The power re

TOTAL: 35.9 VA
The Excel 10 S

stem example re
q
uires 35.9 VA of peak
power; therefore, a 40 VA AT72D Transformer is able to
provide ample power for this controller and its accessories.
Alternativel
y
, a 75 VA AT88A Transformer could be used to
power two Excel 10 S
y
stems of this t
y
pe, or a 100 VA AT92A
Transformer could be used to power two of these Excel 10
S
y
stems and meet NEC Class 2 restrictions
