Multi-channel Power Controller
G3ZA
Optimum Cycle Control for High-precision Control
with Low Noise
• 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.

Optimum Cycle Control (High-precision Zero Cross Control)
• Outputs are turned ON and OFF each half cycle.
• Zero-cross control is performed.
• Noise is suppressed while achieving high-speed response with high-
precision temperature control.
