Installing The Portable P 2000 - Honeywell UDC2000 Instruction Manual

Carefully inspect your controller as soon as it arrives.
If it is damaged, call your dealer. Then notify the freight
agent at once and request an inspection. Save all pack­
ing materials for inspection by the freight claims ad­
juster. Refer to your packing list for more information.
INSTALLING THE
PORTABLE P 2000
If you purchased a furnace with a UDC 2000 control­
ler already installed, skip this section. This section
applies only to the P 2000, which is a portable UDC 2000
controller.
1.
Position the P 2000 far enough away from your
furnace to avoid heat damage.
2.
Install the thermocouple on your furnace. (The ther­
mocouple is the temperature-sensor rod with ceramic
insulators on it.) First, decide which vent hole (also
called peephole) to use. Find a 112" vent hole on your
furnace. Most four-sided furnaces have a vent hole in
the top, the door, and the back. The hole in the back
would be the best choice, but you could use any of the
others, too. If your furnace, by chance, has no vent hole,
drill one. Drill a 112 hole in either a row of blank bricks
. or at the seam line where two rows meet. (This is to
avoid drillin g closer than 1" to an element.)
If your furnace or kiln has two holes, one above the
other, use the top hole for the thermocouple. If your kiln
has only one peephole, you will need to drill a separate
hole for the thermocouple, because you should always
have one for viewing the firing chamber.
If you are mounting the thermocouple in a kiln with
tapered peepholes (where the outside of the hole is
larger than the firing chamber side), insert the ther­
mocouple into the drilled peephole plug provided. Place

5.
Position outer part of thermocouple sideways or
downwards against the kiln case. (Avoid placing the
thermocouple block above the peephole, which would
expose it to heat rising from the peephole.) Place the
thermocouple holddown bracket over thermocouple
block and drill two 1/8 holes. Fasten with screws
provided.

because your kiln will overfire if the thermocouple
should fall out.
