and let the board hang on the outside of the box with
the back of the board facing you. Disconnect both
wire plugs from the back of the controller. Then
plug the kiln back in. Apply power to kiln. If fuse
blows, replace the transformer. (If the fuse does not
blow,theproblem is a boardor relay. Go tostep 2.)
Connect the INPUT plug (orange, blue, and white
wires) to the board again. Leave off the OUTPUT
wire plug (the one with the red and black wires).
Program the controller to fire to 1000°F at FULL
rate in Ramp-Hold mode. Press . If the fuse
blows, replace or service the board. (If the fuse does
not blow, the problem is caused by a short in the coil
of a relay. Go to step 3.)
UNPLUG kiln/disconnect power. Reconnect the
OUTPUT wire plug. Reinstall the board in the
switch box. Replace the relay.
Problem: The kiln overfires.
I
Did you see an error message such as ?
If not, the thermocouple gave a faulty reading, so the
controller did not shut off the kiln. Sometimes a shelf can
bump against the thermocouple and push it out of the firing
chamber. Make sure the thermocouple is pushed far
enough into the firing chamber.
A 1/8” diameter thermocouple should extend into the
firing chamber ½” -
5

”.
A ¼” diameter thermocouple should extend into the fir-
ing chamber 1” or more.
Keep shelves, posts and ware 1” - 1 ½” away from the
thermocouple.
I
Do the elements stay on after you press ?
If so, the electrical contacts inside a relay are stuck in the
closed position. This will also cause elements to turn on as
soon as you plug in the kiln. Replace the relay.
My kiln is not shutting off when it
reaches cone 06. It is holding the temperature
1861°F for hours and hours. After the controller
shows me "cone 06" I see "5. 20." How do I eliminate
this?
Please check Program Review. A long
hold time has been added to cone 06. The 5. 20
means the hold will continue for 5 hours and 20 min

kiln for cone 06. When you see the Hold prompt,en
