IMPORTANT
The relay contact must be suitable for switching low
voltage. In the case of long cable distances, the
analog input signal may be sensitive to interference.
In this case, an external relay may also be used for
normally-closed contacts.

Connection Examples

Fig. 25. Input switching voltages

The digital inputs signals can be DC voltage signals. If an
input voltage is higher than 5 V, the digital signal switches to
logic "1" status. With a hysteresis of 2.5 V, the input signal
must fall below 2.5 V before the digital status switches to logic
"0".
Three out of four digital inputs can be used as totalizers.
With V2.04.00 and higher firmware, the online point attribute
"Normally Open / Normally Closed" (NO/NC) defines the
relation between the physical state (open/closed) and its
logical status. See Table 7.

COMMUNICATION
The Excel 50 Controller has the capability to communicate
with the Excel Building Supervisor (XBS/XBSi, and Enterprise
Buildings Integrator) and other EXCEL 5000 devices via the
C-Bus. The Excel 50 Controller also has the capability to
communicate with devices on a LONWORKS network. A further
communication option is connection to a Meter-Bus. All
communications options are dependent upon the application
module, and not all options are available on one module (see
Table 16).
A modem/ISDN terminal adapter may be connected to Flash
EPROM versions with V2.01.00 software or newer to allow re-

exhaustive and therefore does not provide explanations for
every possible service LED behavior.
LONWORKS Service LED Diagnostics
The LONWORKS service LED is used to diagnose the state of
the Excel 50 controller. In general:
— The controller is applicationless if the LED illuminates
continuously*.
— The controller has an application but, if the LED is
blinking, it is not configured.
— The controller is running normally if L2 is OFF.
The LONWORKS service LED is located on the application
module (see Fig. 39).
Pushing the LONWORKS service button will force a new
commissioning of the Excel 50. While commissioning, LED L2
continuously illuminates red for less than 1 minute and
afterwards return to the normal state (L2 = OFF).
A more detailed diagnosis can be carried out by observing the
duration of the ON and OFF states of the service LED in
connection with power ON / OFF. The following figure
illustrates the different service LED behaviors. These are the
most common behaviors, but others are possible since the
state of the service LED is under firmware control and can be
affected both by hardware and software anomalies.

TCP/IP Dial-Up via TCP/IP Modem XM500

The Honeywell TCP/IP modem XM500 allows use of a
TCP/IP network (e.g. Ethernet LAN/WAN networks) to
achieve a dial-up connection between an XBS building
supervisor and an Excel 50 controller. The set-up is identical
to that of a telephone modem connection, with the exception
of the additional need for definition of the Ethernet address.
Details can be obtained from the XM500 Product Data
Documentation on the Honeywell Intranet under:

GSM Antenna Requirements

All major suppliers of GSM antennas can supply GSM900 Fig. 45. Round radiation antenna, magnetic base, 5 DBi
Antennas with FME plugs to connect with the M20 Terminal
for a variety of applications. Some antenna examples are
shown below. The antenna must satisfy the following
electrical requirements:
Antenna electrical requirements:
Frequency TX 890-915 MHz
Frequency RX 935-960 MHz
Impedance 50 Ω
VSWR TX: max. 1.7:1 installed
VSWR RX: max. 1.9:1 installed

3dB width of cone vertical: 80°
horizontal: 360°
Max. power: 1 W (cw), 2 W peak; at

Depending on the application and the RF field at the local
site, the GSM antenna may be mounted directly or via cable.
The max. antenna cable length is 8.0 m (including 20 cm M20
Terminal-cable)
NOTE: The max. number of push/pull cycles shall not
exceed 100.
The antenna interface connector of the M20 unit is an FME
connector (of type SMR nano (male)). Hence, the connector
on the GSM antenna or antenna cable has to be of type SMR
nano (female, or use a double female connector in between). Fig. 47. Round radiation antenna, 6.5 DBi

M20 Terminal Set-up

Prior to beginning the set-up, get the M20T manual (or CD-

it and you will need it.

It is absolutely mandatory to use a serial data line
monitor for the set-up of the M20T. Without such a

Verification of the PIN

You can verify the PIN without connecting a terminal program
by following these steps:
1. Connect the XI582AH MMI.
2. Enter PIN.
3. Disconnect the XI582AH MMI.
4. Connect the M20T.
5. Reconnect the XI582AH MMI.

8. If it shows “PIN”, the PIN was correct.
