Hi,
Thanks for such an awesome controller. I picked up the EZ-8 just a couple weeks ago to run a prop for my haunt. I like it so much I am now going to try and use it for a drag racing light tree for a Cub Scout event I have coming up. Can I drive SSR's directly from the channel outputs? Is anything "bad" going to happen? The SSRs are 3-32VDC in and up to 3A on the AC side. These are ZC only. Not random crossing.
You can connect your SSR to the EZ-8; connect V+ to the + input on the SSR, the OUTx terminal to the - input.
If you had the RC-4, you can connect the 120vc on the RC-4 as shown in the EZ-8 docs and is shown at the top the EZ-8 treand (EZ-8 to RC-4 connection diagram).
