General Information
Security Advice
Your brand new bentrup TC40 represents one of the most popular kiln controllers of the compact class. The TC40 combines very easy handling, safe and precise kiln operation at a very reasonable price.
Before operating the TC40, please read and understand the manual carefully. This familiarizes you with all functions of the TC40 quickly and ensures that you can use all the capablities of your control.
Please refer to the security advice of the kiln manufacturer. Make sure that the control is mounted at a safe distance from the kiln and that the control is not exposed to direct heat or radiation when the kiln is opened whilst it is hot.

Firing Curves
(a) (b) (c) (d)
[min]
The microprocessor controller TC40 provides your kiln with a precise and reproducable controlling unit. The firing course is shown as a firing curve consisting of five segments. An example is shown below. This firing curve consists of the following sements:
a.heating up to 580°C at 120°C per hour
b.heating up to 900°C at maximum power
c.dwell (30 minutes)
d.natural cooling
For easier use, the TC40 has fixed values in the firing curve:
The rate of heating up can be set to the values 60°C/h, 120°C/h, 240°C, 360°C/h, 480°C/h and maximum power. The temperature for switching to maximum power is fixed at 580°C.
The final temperature can be adjusted between 400°C and 1320°C in 5°C steps. The dwell can be selected 0, 10, 20, 30, 60 minutes.
