General Information
You have opted for a TC 504 controller, the professional model
of the highly advanced bentrup TC 500 series. This controller
series applies world-wide leading state-of-the-art technology
for this controller type. The controller is very easy to operate
from the outside. Inside, however, it houses a multi-channel
controller structure, which can be freely adjusted to every
desired setting (see Appendix C). These operating instructions
will help you to become familiar with all the important features
of your TC 504. Please read it carefully including the safety
instructions of the manufacturer. Please make sure that the
controller is installed in an adequate distance from the kiln. It
should not be exposed to exhaust fumes or heat-radiation
emitted by the kiln.
