Switch status of the control outlets
The number of the outlets activated is displayed
(the example shows all four outlets are activated).
The function of the outlets is determined during
configuration.
Information on special process events
Any special process events are displayed here. To
the left “E” is displayed permanently, to the right a
code (here “A4”) appears if required. The possible
events and codes will be explained in Appendix A.
Power consumption since programme start
The TC 504 calculates the power consumption of
the current firing by consulting the operating cycles.
The prerequisite for this is that the correct kiln
performance has been entered once during
configuration (see Appendix C).
Operating time of the heating elements since
programme start
The TC 504 calculates the net operating time (i.e.
only the actual operating time) for the current firing
since programme start by consulting the operating
cycles. In this way the load on the kiln can be
determined during and after the firing.
Overall operating time of heating elements
As above, the individual results are added up to an
overall value. This makes it easy to assess the
service life of the heating elements. For safety
reasons the meter can only be reset by the
manufacturer.
Current day and time
The TC 504 can be equipped with a real-time clock
with weekday function for an automatic programme
start (optional, can be upgraded). If the TC 504 is
equipped with this function the weekday and time
are displayed in this place for control purposes.
