Omron, G3ZA Series

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

Main Upgraded Functions

Soft-start function added for lamp heaters.
Three-phase optimum cycle control added for three-phase heaters.
Combining with special CT for150-A current detection.

Note: The G3ZA must be used in combination with an SSR without the zero cross function when the soft-start function is used.
