MULTI-MODE MAINS MODULE
BURST FIRED OR PHASE ANGLE
ZAX27A
X10646
INTRODUCTION
The ZAX27A provides accurate and precise mains control in both burst fire or phase angle control modes of
operation. This printed circuit board firing circuit is capable of driving an external triac or thyristor pair power
devices for any load rating. Additional features also include an uncommitted op-amp, which may be used as an
error amplifier or comparator for or closed loop (feedback) control,
APPLICATIONS
Virtually all resistance heaters including ovens, electric furnaces, moulders, dryers, smelters, heating tapes,
stress relieving, space heating and heating mantles. This is unsuitable for use on inductive loads.
MAIN FEATURES
Dual mode control capability.
(phase angle OR burst fire)
Soft start delay function
Output overload & temperature protection
Current limit
Microprocessor control compatibility
5KV input and supply isolation
Suitable for slave firing triacs or SCR pairs

WARNING
1. This unit requires fusing. This should be a fast acting semiconductor-type (FF5A) fuse placed in series with the
LIVE (240V input) supply lead.
2.
All HAZARDOUS LIVE terminals - isolate supply before commencing any installation work.

FUSING:
A semiconductor (fast acting) type fuse is supplied as standard for unit protection. On initial switch on some
loads may need an increased Factor of Safety (F of S) for unit and/or device protection. For spares or
replacements contact our sales desk.
CE MARKING
This product family carries a CE marking . These phase angle controllers need a suitable remote filter. For
information see recommendation section and contact our sales desk.
