9001-registered processes and is backed by a

warranty period specified. This warranty does not
apply to damage resulting from transportation,
alteration, misuse or abuse. The purchaser must
use Watlow parts to maintain all listed ratings.

Overview
The EZ-ZONE PM Express controllers take the pain
out of solving your thermal loop requirements
while reducing the cost of control-loop ownership.
You can order this control as a single loop PID
controller with a high-amperage power output in
either a 16
th
or 32
nd
DIN panel-mount package.
It just got a whole lot easier to solve the ther-
mal requirements of your system. Because the
EZ-ZONE family of controls are highly scalable
