Ok, I guess I misunderstood this info from the website to mean it came with sensor. I got mine off ebay and they came with the TC.
Shipping configuration:
Input sensor: K type thermocouple (Max working range 32-2300 °F).
Display Unit: Fahrenheit (°F)
Display resolution: 1 degree.
Alarm 1: Deviation low
Alarm 2: Deviation high
As far as having an alarm clock, if you're away from the oven, what good is it? You'd be better off getting a timer that will shut down the system after the cycle is over. That's what mine does. The control system can also be set to open a vent (or not), to start a purge fan (or not), to restart with a new time or the same time (or not) and to sound an alarm (or not).
But, everybody works in a different process environment so I guess it may work if you think that's what you need.

You might consider using multiple SSRs as well. You could "turn-off" the heaters (SSRs) that aren't being used. A simple switch on the control side will accomplish this. You can use as many SSRs as the PID current (usually 40ma) will allow without extra relays. Mine uses four SSRs to control area heating.
By making a divider panel that will adjust to the size of your work, you can control the size of the oven as well as which heaters will be used. No sense burning 9000w if you're baking a tin cup. Your only problem will be how to move or locate the TC if you're not using multiples. (Not hard if one end or area is always in use.)
