ZAC Series Temperature Management Control

The ZAC Series Zone Appliance Controls (ZAC-3 and ZAC-6) are advanced, multi-parameter controllers designed specifically for OEMs in the commercial kitchen appliance industry. Engineered for precision temperature management, these controllers can monitor and control up to 3 or 6 temperature zones depending on model, making them an ideal solution for appliances such as holding cabinets, fryers, ovens, merchandisers, prep tables, and more.

By consolidating multiple control needs into a single, reconfigurable platform, OEMs benefit from reduced SKUs, simplified manufacturing, and lower support costs. The system is field serviceable, easily programmable via FAST.Edit® software, and offers optional communications for HACCP reporting and integration with automated kitchen systems.

Adjustable temperature range: 32°F to 550°F (0°C to 287.7°C)
Each zone is programmable for setpoint, high/low alarms, and temperature monitoring
4-character LED display with 4 buttons and 2 status lights
Audible and visual alarms with 20-minute repeat cycles for safety
RoHS compliant to meet global standards
Remote user interface and flexible mounting options for space-constrained applications
Durable pushbutton keys rated for 10 million cycles

Temperature Accuracy

Maintaining precise cooking and holding temperatures is critical in foodservice equipment. The ZAC Series delivers ±2°F accuracy, ensuring food safety, consistent product quality, and compliance with HACCP requirements.

SKU Management

OEMs often face high costs and complexity managing multiple part numbers for different appliances. The ZAC’s multi-configurable platform reduces SKUs across product lines, simplifying manufacturing and inventory control.

Field Serviceability

Downtime in commercial kitchens can mean lost revenue and dissatisfied customers. The ZAC Series’ modular design with remote displays allows for quick, easy field replacement, reducing service calls and ownership costs.

Regulatory Compliance

Global OEMs must meet strict safety and environmental standards. With built-in RoHS compliance and optional HACCP data connectivity, ZAC controllers provide a future-ready solution that supports regulatory requirements

Space Constraints

Commercial kitchen appliances often have limited space for components. The ZAC’s slim profile and remote-mount design allow OEMs to integrate advanced controls without redesigning their equipment enclosures.

Customer Satisfaction

Equipment reliability directly impacts operator satisfaction. By providing durable, accurate, and easy-to-use controls, the ZAC Series reduces operator error and ensures consistent results, minimizing customer complaints.
