Description

ZVT2-16-IF 230V Flicker-Inhibited Temperature Controller for 0–40°C

The ZVT2-16-IF (0–40°C) 230V Burst Fire Flicker Inhibited Temperature Controller is an economical and energy-efficient OEM solution designed for precise temperature regulation. Combining microprocessor-based control with a compact single-hole fixing enclosure, it delivers accurate temperature control for single-phase resistive heating loads up to 16A.

By switching energy down to half mains cycle packets at zero voltage, it minimises mains-borne RFI interference and flicker, outperforming traditional thermostats. The proportional self-adjusting control ensures consistent temperature regulation and stability.

⚠️ Note: The NTC temperature sensor is ordered separately and must be installed with a bonded earth for safe operation.
