I'm about to build a power controller and need some advice on ssr types. What is the difference between a SSR-40VA and a SSR-40DA? Which one should I buy?

It bought two of these (one as a backup, but haven't needed the second one)

If the url above doesn't work, search www.5stardistilling.com.au.com for AC 220V 5000W SCR Voltage Regulator

Currently having a makeover: 2" x 4 plate solid state bubbler (1" bubble caps, no sight glasses...maybe not for much longer!) on a bain-marie boiler.

Don't quote me but I believe its to do with the type of voltage used to control it. Mines a DA and uses a knob to control it. I believe th VA uses an input usually from a pid type controller. Double check that though as I'm on nightshift and cant check it out to be certain.

VA for pot control (variable resistor)
DA for relay control (PID)
