failure. This feature also permits you to
store up to six Ramp/Hold programs in
memory, and to use them later by enter-
ing their program number.
Delay firing start.
You can delay the start
of a firing for up to 99 hours and 99 min-
utes.
Controlled cooling rate.
Now you can
program your own rate of cooling to
achieve your specific results.
Program Review Option.
The program
you have entered can be reviewed before
and during a firing. Pressing the View
button displays the segment that is cur-
rently being executed during Ramp/Hold
mode firings.
Cone table.
This function shows you the
equivalent temperature in degrees
Fahrenheit or Centigrade that corresponds
to a cone number, which is handy when
programming Ramp/Hold firings.
Fahrenheit or Centigrade operation.
Select either temperature scale at the touch
of a button. Permanent memory allows
the temperature scale and values to be
continuously displayed until repro-
grammed.
Programmable High Temperature
Alarm.
The program lets you set an alarm
that will alert you when a specified tem-
perature has been reached. This allows
you to check firing progress and to be pre-
sent as shut-off or ramp-down occurs.
Safety Features.
Power failure detection.
Firing will continue after power interrup-
tions which cause less than a 250˚ F drop
in internal temperature. Firing will also
continue in Cone Fire mode if the inter-
ruption causes less than a 100˚ F drop dur-
ing the final 100˚ of a firing.
Thermocouple failure detection.
The con-
troller can detect a failed thermocouple
and will turn the kiln off automatically.
Controller-operation failure detection.
If
a fault is detected in the controller the kiln
will turn off automatically.
Designed and Manufactured in the
United States.
Licensed under Orton’s
Patent #4461616. In Cone Fire mode, the
controller uses Orton’s patented method
to adjust final temperature to emulate
cone “heat work”. This is fully described
in Appendix 2, Cone Chart and Heat
Work.
UL and CSA Listed
. The KilnMaster
Controller is UL and CSA listed when fac-
tory installed in Skutt automatic kilns and
when the wall-mounted KM-1 KilnMaster
Controller is used with the UL-listed Skutt
kiln models listed in Appendix 6.
Features and benefits
of the Skutt KilnMaster
controller.
Easy to use. The display guides you
through operating steps by a series of
messages that ask for information. The
internal temperature is displayed during
the entire firing and during the cooling.
Program by cone number. Simply select a
cone number from the table and enter the
speed you want for firing. The lower left
half of the touchpad controls the Cone
Fire functions; the right side controls
Ramp/Hold functions. Review is appro-
priate for either mode.
Firing speed options.
When firing from
the Cone Fire mode, you can select from
three preprogrammed ramp speeds: fast,
medium or slow.
Multiple Ramp/Hold segments.
When
firing in the Ramp/Hold mode you can
program up to eight different segments
that include rate, temperature and hold
time.
Permanent program memory.
Permanent
memory allows the controller to maintain
values in the memory in case of power
