WIRING

(for safety, unplug unit prior to making any heater or sensor connections)

1. Attach the leads from your thermocouple to the provided standard thermocouple jack of the

same thermocouple type. 

Note the correct polarity:

For type “J” and “K thermocouples, the

RED

lead is (-) negative. 

2. The heater output current is sourced directly thru the line cord. The bottom console output re-

ceptacle provides live controlled power for direct connection to your heater(s).

OPERATION

1. Verify the power switch is in the off position. Plug your heater into the straight-blade enclosure

connector. Plug the provided line cord from the console into a standard outlet. Switch on the
enclosure.

2. Using the up & down pushbuttons on the TEC-9100 controller, start out with the temperature

set low to test your system. If the setpoint temperature is being maintained, set your desired
temperature setpoint.

Note: The signal of the output circuit is wired through output 2 of the TEC-9100 which can

be used as a cut-out in the event of an over-setpoint temperature condition. This is

a deviation contact set to 30º F above the setpoint. 

In the event of an over-setpoint temperature condition, output 2 will open, cutting

the control signal to the output relay. 
This deviation setpoint can be changed by accessing “SP2” in the TEC-9100 (note

page 3 for user menu selection). This is not meant to be a redundant safety controller. 
Refer to our TEC-910 for a safety controller.

3. Auto-tuning is recommended for initial set-up. Refer to page 7 of the attached manual for auto-

tuning procedures.
