1.1 INTRODUCTION

1.1. The MC5 Controller has been designed to provide a comprehensive answer to control
the heating of resistive loads such as Heating Mantles, Heating Tapes and Cords for
bench top operation delivering up to a maximum of 800Watts.

1.2. A rod support clamp is provided at the rear of the controller to take a standard 12.5mm
(½”) diameter rod.

1.3. The MC5 has a short mains output lead with an IEC socket to connect it to the resistive
load. An accessory extension mains lead is available where remote operation is required
(e.g. in a fume extraction unit).
