PLZ-4W Applied Operation 6-53
(2) External resistance control
Connecting an external resistance in the range of 0 Ω to 10 kΩ to the PLZ-4W pro-
duces a wattage that is proportional or inversely proportional to the change.
Proportional control
The wattage corresponding to the external resistance of 0 Ω is 0 W; the wattage cor-
responding to the external resistance of 10 kΩ is 100 % of the specified range.
Inverse proportional control
The wattage corresponding to the external resistance of 10 kΩ is 0 W; the wattage
corresponding to the external resistance of 0 Ω is 100 % of the specified range.
Connected pins: J1-1 (signal), J1-3 (common)
