Wax Tray with GrillPlace the molds on top of the heavy-duty,

long-lasting welded steel grill. Slide the waxtray under the grill. Remove the wax traywithout disturbing the molds. The grill re-mains in the furnace throughout the firing.WWT14: 12 x 12 GrillWWT18: 17 x 17 Grill

PyrometersThe pyrometer gives a feeling of confi-

dence as you watch the temperature rise asexpected. Pyrometers are necessary for burn-outs using a manual-fire furnace.

Insert the thermocouple by drilling a holein the furnace. The thermocouple iscomplete with wires and thermocouple.

TouchnFire 2 PortableDigital Controller

Enjoy the features of Paragon's Sentrydigital controller on your manual-firefurnace. Works with furnaces of any brandor age.

The wall-hanging TouchnFire 2 (TnF 2)plugs into the wall receptacle that your man-ual-fire furnace is now using. The furnace, inturn, plugs into a receptacle on the TnF 2. Toinstall the thermocouple, which reads tem-perature, drill a 1/8" hole through the fur-nace's firebrick wall. After mounting thethermocouple to the furnace, you are readyto fire.

The price of the TnF 2 varies dependingon furnace amperage. Each TnF 2 will oper-ate on only one type of wall receptacle.

The TnF 2 comes with a drilled peepholeplug, thermocouple and instructions. War-ranty: two years for all components exceptthe Sentry controller, which carries a 2 year warranty.TnF 2Specify wall receptacle used by furnace: NEMA config-uration number (i.e. 6-50R) and voltage. 30 lb.

Stainless Steel Wax Trayswith Mesh Cover

Catches the wax from jewelry molds dur-ing lost wax casting. Welded corners. Comeswith a removable steel grid cover.

Firing Safety GlassesProtect your eyes with firing glasses

whenever looking into the firing chamberof a hot furnace. Specially coated to filterthe infra-red and ultra-violet light inside afurnace. Also protects your eyes fromheat. Reduces glare.

The Advantages ofWax Trays

You must remove the wax from the in-vestment mold before heating higher than300F. This not only protects the firingchamber of your furnace; it also reduces car-bon deposits in the investment.

Removing wax prevents smoke and givesa cleaner burnout, often reducing the firingtime. It improves the casting by preventingmold flaws caused by boiling wax.

Each firebrick furnace is available with ei-ther an infinite control switch or a digitaltemperature controller. With the infinite con-trol, you can manually adjust the firingspeed.

The digital controller saves time, makescasting more reliable, and gives consistentlyrepeatable results. The 12-key Sentry con-troller has 3 built-in, easy-to-use programs.Both the 12-key and 3-key controllers can becustom programmed for your exact needs.See page 3 for more details on controllers.

Paragon furnaces use a heavy-gauge steelcase. The W-series stainless steel case mini-mizes corrosion.

Heating elements in all Paragon firebrickfurnaces are deeply recessed for easy re-placement. These furnaces include a top ventwith plug or cover for burnout. W-series fur-naces use a spring door latch that closestightly. The E-10 and Xpress-E-10 use apivoting latch that permits easy opening forremoval of flasks.

The larger furnaces use steel hingerods with heavy-duty bushings.

The W-14-3, W-18-3 and Express-E-10furnaces include an on-off toggle switch.Digital models all have a built-in fuse to pro-tect the controller.

What size to order?We offer furnace sizes to fit every shop,

from the home to the large commercial.Purchase a furnace just large enough to

hold as many flasks as you will cast at onetime. As your casting needs expand, addlarger furnaces to your shop. Having severalfurnaces will allow you to cast at differenttemperatures for different metals.

Small furnaces are ideal for rush ordersthat require only one flask.Types of furnace insulation

Paragon furnaces come in two types: fire-brick and ceramic fiber insulation. Firebricksheat more slowly than ceramic fiber. Heatingelements are easy to replace in firebrick mod-els. In the ceramic fiber models, elementsand the ceramic fiber muffle are replaced as asingle unit.

Power RequirementsIMPORTANT: Have your electrician or power

company verify your voltage. Most residentialwiring is 120/240 volt. However, 208 volt is be-coming common in shopping centers and

schools. 208 volt and 240 volt wall receptacleslook the same. If you order a kiln of the wrongvoltage, your kiln will need new elements to fireproperly. This is not covered by warranty!

Before you plug a new kiln into an existing cir-cuit, have an electrician check the circuit. Havehim compare the circuit wire and breaker sizeswith our recommended wire sizes. All wire sizeslisted are for COPPER only. Local electric codessupersede our recommendations.

We reserve the right to change prices and productspecifications without notice or obligation.

Ceramic Fiber ModelsCeramic fiber insulation

Ceramic fiber insulation is lighter thanfirebrick insulation. It heats and coolsmore rapidly.Types of controlsThe SC-2 and SC-3 furnaces come with

the 3-key Sentry Xpress controller (see nextpage for controller details). The TnF-J-11,TnF-J-14-1, and TnF-J-14-2 come with the12-key Sentry controller. the J-11, J-14-1 andJ-14-2 are manual-fire models with an infi-nite control switch and safety pilot light. Theinfinite control allows you to manually adjustthe firing speed.

The digital controller saves time, makescasting more reliable, and gives consistentlyrepeatable results. The 12-key Sentry con-troller has 3 built-in, easy-to-use programs.(Note: To receive the 3 pre-set programs,you must specify this feature at the time youorder the furnace.) Both the 12-key and

3-key controllers can be customprogrammed quickly andeasily.

Paragon fur-naces use aheavy-gauge steelshell. These fur-naces include a topvent for burnout,complete with a vent cover or plug. The J-14furnaces use a spring door latch that closestightly. The SC-2, SC-3, J-11 and TnF-J-11use a spring-pressure door catch.

The SC-2, SC-3, TnF-J-11, TnF-J-14-1and TnF-J-14-2 include an on-off toggleswitch. The digital models have a built-infuse to protect the controller.

A digital controllersaves time, makescasting more reliable,and gives consistentlyrepeatable results. A furnace with acontroller waits for you to cast at yourleisure. It can maintain casting temper-ature as long as needed. With a con-troller, you dont have to remember tocheck the temperature as you do withmanual switches.

A controller, when programmedproperly, prevents problems such asblown castings or porous castings.

The 12-key Sentry controller fea-tures built-in 5-, 8-, and 12-hour presetprograms, ready to use at the touch ofa button. (Standard on W-series; spec-ify for other furnaces.) In addition,both the 12-key and 3-key can be cus-tom programmed to fit anyrequirement.

The 12-key Sentry has an alarm thatyou can program to sound when it istime to remove the wax tray, or whenthe cycle is done.

Complete instructions come witheach controller. Both controllers have aDelay Start feature. Delay the burnoutfrom one minute to 99 hours (great forovernight burnouts).12-Key Sentry Controller

Protecting ElementsDo not heat the wax inside the furnace

above 300F/148C. Wax elimination is neces-sary in all electric furnaces. We recommend thewax trays shown on the back page, or a steamdewaxer.

Place the molds on top of the wax tray in-side the furnace. Heat at 300F/148C for onehour. Then remove the wax from the tray be-fore casting. (These instructions apply to injec-tion wax that melts at 200F and not to pattern

waxes and plastics that melt at highertemperatures.)

If you leave wax in the furnace throughoutthe burnout, carbon will deposit on the fur-naces walls and elements. Carbon build-upruins the interior. Carbon conducts electricityand causes elements to short circuit. Damageto elements from contact with foreign materialsis not covered by warranty.
