We are pleased to announce the addition of integrated battery calculations to the FQQ takeoff estimation tool and IDNAC/ NAC Point to Point voltage drop designer. FQQ is designed to provide users with an offline enhanced workflow experience facilitating rapid project takeoffs and circuit designs. It utilizes spreadsheet functionality for interface with the Solution Navigator pricing platform. The IDNAC P2P Designer supports multiple IDNACs in a single calculation. FQQ now includes the ability to create a complete battery calculation including panel components and field devices. 

Key features of this tool include:

  • Fast and simple device selection spreadsheet 
  • Multiple IDNAC Circuit design including Voltage Drop and Current Calculation support for Class A, Class B and mixed Class A & B circuits 
  • Easy calculation of T-Tapped Circuits
  • IDNAC Repeater support - Class A, B & Extended Mode selections
  • Circuit Tree View with Easily Identifiable Tap Levels 
  • Exportable Project View for Submittal Packages
  • Creation of One Line Riser Drawing of Circuits
  • Fast and simple device selection spreadsheet 
  • Dedicated selector screens for IDNet, IDNAC, NAC, 3rd Party Items, Foundation Series and 4007ES
  • Integrated Labor Calculator
  • Bill of Materials view with selection filter
  • .CSV Importation for takeoff totals using Bluebeam Revu ®
  • .CSV Exportation to Selection Navigator or CPQ for Pricing
  • Complete Battery Calculator for panel and field devices

Note: Microsoft Excel 365 is required to run IDNAC Point to Point Circuit Designer
