/ T1.
Neutral: Attaches to the red insulator
Grounding: Attaches to the yellow screw at the base of the panel
The lower ring is electrically connected to the electrical panel
(upper ring) with an industrial type plug.
There is a terminal on the electrical panel to connect the
thermocouple. ATTENTION to the polarity of the cables
Η type kilns (1300C):
White cable connects to ( - ) contact
