8
Chapter I. Introduction
1. Function introduction
HC4500 is a newest generation of high-performance flame/plasma controller developed by
ADTECH. The control circuit adopts the ARM9 high-speed microprocessor, large-scale
custom-tailor IC chip, and multi-layer PCB, and the display adopts 7” color display screen. Surface
mount devices are used throughout the entire process. The controller is developed basing on
powerful R&D capacity of ADTECH for many years, and the software integrates advantages of
factories from home and abroad. The hardware of this controller is highly stable in operation, and the
software is perfect in performance, making it a trusted and highly cost-efficient flame/plasma
controller.
