AMPS (Amperes) continued
When you select “AMPS” under the “dIAG” menu it will give you an ampere reading for each output of the
kiln (except the accessory and safety output). Which elements these ouputs control will vary by model. If
your kiln uses only 1 or 2 outputs it will still give you 3 readings but the unused outputs will give a reading
of zero.
LEd (LED Display)
This feature when activated lights up all of the segments in the LED display. This is helpful in locating
any segments in the display that may have gone bad and may explain why some indicated readings are not
correct.
bd T (Board Temperature)
The electronics on the controller’s circuit board may be damaged if the board exceeds 160 °F. This should
not occur under normal conditions. However, if the kiln is located in a small enclosure with poor ventila-
tion or in areas where the temperatures are unusually hot, it is possible. Using this feature will tell you if
your controller temperature is approaching potentially harmful levels.
If you find that your board temperature is consistently over 150 °F you may want to consider improving air
circulation to the kiln room.
SW V (Software Version)
At Skutt we are continually working on ways of improving our products. This feature will indicate the
software version your controller is using.
OUTS (Output Test)
There are 4 outputs that can be used on the board. There are 3 designated for elements and 1 designated to
run an accessory. This feature allows you to test each output individually to see if it is operating correctly.
When activated this feature will test each output beginning with output 1 and ending with output 4. It will
cycle each output on for approximately 8 seconds. To see if the elements are cycling on you can place a
small piece of paper on each element. If the paper is burned than the element came on.
BE SURE THAT THE CONTROL BOX AND KILN LID ARE CLOSED BEFORE YOU USE THIS
FEATURE TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
