11. RapidZone™ Contractor Benefits
Differentiation from the Competition
Offer Solutions to Comfort Problems Such as Rooms That Are Too Hot or Too Cold!
Increase Gross Margin $$
Win More Sales!
By being different than the competition, contractors who offer zoning will close more sales because they offer unique solutions to comfort problems.
Ability to offer “personal comfort” to users in that they can adjust their own space temperatures via wall module setpoint knob
Additionally, Honeywell’s RapidZone solution increases the Gross Margin for a contractor in that less time is spent estimating, configuring, and installing a RapidZone system. This is made possible by:
Online Estimation Tool
RapidZone configuration Software
LonWorks open protocol and free topology
Honeywell offers the lowest priced total installed system 11

12. RapidZone & Thermostat Comparison
2 Ten Ton RTUs with Zoning versus 4 Five Ton RTUs with T7300s
Better Comfort, Better Control and Higher Profit!

13. Competitive Software Advantages
Carrier VVT software
Runs only in DOS,
not windows compatible
No wiring diagrams
No help text
No materials list
This is the software used to configure the Carrier VVT system. Carrier currently has the largest market share in this Commercial Zoning System market.
This software is only run in a DOS module, which is available on most windows machines. The Software however is menu-driven, not window driven. The software requires extensive literature to understand the layout and operation of the software.
Configuration of Software needs extensive training as controls are not easily deciphered and setpoints

14. Competitive Software Advantages
Trane VariTrac
Accessed through non-user friendly hyper-terminal program
No wiring diagrams, or materials lists
Text only, no graphics to
aid the user
The user must use typed commands to navigate through the program
This is the Trane Software. Trane is the other large player in the Commercial Zoning market
This software comes pre-loaded on a chip within the Trane main unit In order to configure this software you need to know how to use HyperTerminal to access the software.
This software is entirely menu-driven, and it is extremely difficult to configure. Does not give a summary of setpoints or components
No monitoring capabilities at all
Not-user friendly commands, not self-learning. Difficult to follow as user-defined names are limited to zones

15. Competitive Hardware Advantages
Carrier VVT
Trane VariTrac
Separate module required if a non Trane RTU is used
16 Zones and 4 schedules ( with Tracker controller)
Difficult to wire main controller
Complicated wall modules
Need a special tool to remove covers
No Backlit Displays
Proprietary Network
Honeywell’s Hardware is proven in the field to be reliable and easy to use.
Wall Modules are self explanatory to the users
LonWorks open protocol allows system expansion easily
LonWorks open protocol also allows controllers of any brand to communicate with Honeywell controllers, provided they use the protocol (not limited to one brand of RTU or economizer)
Simple wiring, easy to follow wiring diagrams custom made for each RapidZone installation
RapidZone provides significant wiring advantages!

One RZ Project supports up to 10 Excel 15C’s
Each Excel 15C supports up to 18 Zones
Monitors demand from all Zones to control heat and cool operation of RTU
If project will be imported into LonSpec for further configuration, an Excel 15C must be used instead of an Excel 15D!
Excel 15D can only be configured by RapidZone
RapidZone can configure and Commission either an Excel 15C or Excel 15D
Excel 15C Can Be Used For System Expandability!

19. Excel 10 Zone Controller (W7751J2004)
Utilizes proven Smart Actuator
ML6161B mounted on Controller
Over 100,000 installed around the world
Less field wiring required
New lower cost “J” model with no air flow sensors
The J model does not have an air flow sensor, which is not needed in RapidZone system (pressure dependant control). This model is offered at a lower price than the H model
Smart VAV Actuator is a VAV controller mounted directly to the actuator
Each VAV controller requires an input in the form of space temperature, which is received from the associated
LONMARK
May use W7751H but need datecode 0041 or higher

20. T7770 Wall Module Utilize proven Excel 10 Sensor
Set-point knob for zone temp control
Internal temperature sensor
Schedule Override button (Bypass)
LonWorks Bus network jack
Digital T7560 may also be used
Allows zone occupants to control their own temperatures via the setpoint knob for temperature control.
A T7770A model is also available which is without the setpoint knob. This model only senses temperature.
Every occupant is “in charge” of their zone temperature

21. Excel 15A Building Manager
Advanced Diagnostic Alarming
Trend Logs automatically configured
Provides time schedule for Zones
Up to 8 schedules
One XL15A per four XL15C’s
Or may use ST7009 external timeclock instead, allows one schedule and no diagnostics
Requires datecode 0042 or higher
Building Manager, if utilized, requires one per RapidZone controller (or one per RTU). It offers the following benefits
8 time of day schedules for zones including 20 holidays/exceptions
Automatically configured trend logs(bypass, outdoor air temp, zone temp, etc.
Allows for advanced diagnostic alarming
RapidZone can only configure one 15A per RTU system because all the horsepower is consumed by one RTU. However, some functions can still be configured if restored into LonSpec (such as digital alarms)
Otherwise, if only one schedule is needed, the ST7009 external timeclock can be wired directly to RTU
Optional accessory that adds a lot to your system

22. Excel 15A Diagnostic Features
Monitor Alarms
Logs every alarm which occurs in the RapidZone system
Pre-configured Diagnostic Trending
Automatically trends Discharge Air Temp, Outdoor Air Temp, Duct Static Pressure, Bypass Damper Position, and Zone Space Temperatures
Can be displayed in graphical or tabular form
Bypass Log
Logs bypass information from all the Zones
All of these screen shots are taken from the RapidZone . If you have the Excel 15A Building Manager all of these diagnostic screens are available. However, if you do not have a building manager none of these screens are available.
Lower cost of trouble-shooting

23. Easy for customers to control system
Excel 15 Command Display 2
User interface for status of all Zones and RTU for up to 4 XL15C subsystems
Intuitive layout for easy retrieval of information
View and modify Setpoints and Schedules
Acknowledge System Alarms
One Command Display may support up to 4 RTUs.
Command Display allows features:
View and Modify system variables

The Excel 15C can control Economizer
Remote Monitoring
Capability for remote monitoring of RapidZone sites via a modem
Excel 15C/D controller can operate an economizer such that the bypass damper will modulate according to outdoor air temperature, outdoor enthalpy, or other digital input.
Also able to modulate Economizer on CO2 Air levels within an area or within the duct. There are two CO2 sensors compatible with RapidZone, a wall mounted and a duct mounted sensor
LonStation Allows remote communication (via modem and an on-site SLTA) and provides remote monitoring of the entire RapidZone system. Also provides remote modification of setpoints and schedules

25. The fastest way to a commercial zoning system!
RapidZone™ Software
Commissions and monitors controllers for Commercial Zoning
Guides users through an easy process of configuring and commissioning controllers
Creates customized wiring diagrams
Saves a large amount of engineering time and costs
Reduces the possibility of mistakes
Creates a complete parts checklist to avoid mistakes
RapidZone Software is a user friendly application which runs on Windows 95 or 98.
RapidZone guides the contractor or person configuring the system through several screens to define the project equipment and its parameters. If additional information is needed, the RapidZone software has an application guide Form Number:
At the end, RapidZone Software has an options that will print a detailed list of components, along with wiring diagrams for each piece of equipment. The installers then can use these wiring diagrams to install the products.
After configuration, RapidZone launches “RapidZone Online” which is very similar to LonSpec. This is where the user assigns neuron ID’s and commissions controllers.
The fastest way to a commercial zoning system!
