The zone switch was developed for multizone heating elements. The module is used in connection with rotary selection switches. The zone switch is activated with an additional contact on the rotary selection switch. After there is mains power, the module conducts a basic calibration. During operation, the IR sensor adjusts itself automatically to changing light conditions. By activating the sensor, an additional zone is switched on or off. With a three-zone cooking zone, first the middle and then the outer zone is activated by activating the sensor repeatedly. If it is activated again, then first the outer and then the middle zone is deactivated again. Faulty operation is detected by the implemented software and prevented.
Possible variants for a cooktop: - Dual zone switch - Triple zone switch Combinations and other versions on request.
