What you need to know before configuring the Supra
Configuring the Supra means telling it what equipment it will be controlling, and to some extent,
how it will be controlling that equipment. For example, the Supra has 12 relay stages. You need to
tell the stages if they will be controlling curtains, heating or cooling elements, or timed events. In
addition, you need to tell the stages in which zone (1, 2, 3, or 4) they will be controlling those
elements.
In addition to configuring the variable and relay stages, configuration also includes information that
you set once or change very rarely, for example, the name of the Supra.
Before you begin configuring the Supra, make sure:
It has power
All equipment has been properly connected to the correct terminals.
You know which equipment is connected to which relays and variable stages
This chapter does not explain set points, idle speeds, or other settings. For
information about those settings, read
How zones work
Because the Supra is a four-zone controller, you can divide your facility into real or imaginary zones
– areas that can each be controlled independently of the others. Part of the configuration process is
assigning relay stages and variable stages to zones (only one zone per stage).
A zone defines an area set off as distinct from surrounding or adjoining parts. Zones might or might
not be separated by walls. For example, a large room could be divided into two zones to provide
better control response.
Example 1: two rooms, two zones
You have a large finisher barn that is divided into two rooms. You have a forced-air ventilation
system consisting of fans and inlets. You will use one Supra to control both rooms, one zone per
room. The configuration could be as follows:
