G3ZA

Category Tag

• Smaller than a Normal Power Controller.

• Enables low-noise power control in combination with zero-cross SSRs. (See note.)

• One Controller can control up to 8 SSRs.

• RS-485 communications to set manipulated variables and heater burnout detection. The Smart FB Library for the G3ZA can also be used.

• CE Marking
