WARNINGS
1. Air vents located on top and bottom of console must not be blocked! To prevent an overheating condition
the internal components must remain as close to room temperature (75ºF / 24ºC) as possible.
2. Dangerous voltage capable of causing injury or death is present within this console. Power to all
equipment must be disconnected before installation or beginning any troubleshooting procedures. Heater
output wiring and component replacement must be made by qualified personnel only.
3. To minimize the possibility of fire or shock, do not expose this console to rain or excessive moisture.
4. Do not use this console in areas where hazardous conditions exist such as excessive shock, vibration,
dirt, corrosive gases, oil or where explosive gases or vapors are present.
5. It is strongly recommended that a process should incorporate a Limit Control like a Tempco TEC-901
which will shut down the equipment at a preset process condition in order to avoid possible damage to
products or systems.
WIRING (For safety, disconnect all power sources prior to wiring)
1. Attach the leads from your type thermocouple to the mini-plug provided. Take care to note the correct
polarity. The red lead is (-) negative.
2. The heater output current is sourced directly through the line cord. The rear console output receptacle and
mating Hubbell plug provides live controlled power for direct connection to your heater(s). Connect one lead
from your heater to one prong of the Hubbell plug (not ground). Connect the other lead from your heater to
the other prong. Connect heater ground (if applicable) to the ground connection (G) on the plug.

OPERATION
1. Verify the power switch is in the off position. Plug your heater & thermocouple into the rear connectors. Plug the provided line
cord from the console into a standard outlet. Switch on the console.
2. Set your desired temperature setpoint by using the up and down arrow buttons on the TEC-9400 temperature controller.
3. Refer to the following pages for complete operation and auto-tuning of the TEC-9400 temperature controller.
