I want to find a controller - how do I use the Controller Wizard?

This tool walks you through a series of progressively detailed questions posed in the logic window on the left to help you determine an appropriate controller or control product.  Once a product is suggested, click the product name to display additional information in the information display window.

    1. Information will be downloaded, and presented to you in the information display window on the rights side of the screen.
    2. As some of the files are large, and Internet performance varies greatly, the time will vary for information to be presented.

  1. Click on the gray buttons across the top to view different groupings of information on that product. Information has been organized to help users navigate through them in a quick and efficient manner.  The buttons are a way of subdividing the content into various "categories".  The number of buttons varies by product and is dependent on what information is available.

    Those button categories are as follows:
Info Summary -- This is a one-page listing of all the information provided as part of the main product being viewed.  Items listed are linked to the particular documents, which means that you can click on any one of the links to view that particular item.  Often times there are many items listed under the section "related items" -- this is because this represents a listing of many of the accessory or related items that work with the main product being viewed.  For example, for the HVAC DDC controller mentioned above, the related info area would present to the user a list of sensors, actuators and other accessories that work with that DDC controller.
Overview -- This is a higher-level document that as its name implies, provides an overview of the item.  It typically is a brochure that can be helpful when making an initial review of a product to ascertain whether or not it meets certain requirements.
Tech Info -- This is a more detailed document, and is typically a specification datasheet.  This is the document typically used as part of a project submittal.
Config Info -- This is generally a document or presentation that presents information on configuring or applying this product as part of a system.
Guide Spec -- This is a text document that can be used by a consulting/specifying engineer in a project specification.
