Enable Wi-Fi – Enable or disable the Wi-Fi feature. Off turns Wi-Fi capabilities off at all
times. On When Firing enables Wi-Fi only when a firing is in progress. Always On turns the Wi-Fi
on anytime it is within range of a setup Wi-Fi connection.
Wi-Fi Setup – To set up Wi-Fi for the Genesis, press “Wi-Fi Setup” and the controller will
scan for nearby networks. Select your desired network and enter the password (if required) and
press “Save”.
***For security reasons, we highly recommend that the user place all controllers into a
separate logical network or VLAN, separate from other networks, routers, and hardware.
Download Firmware – If your controller is connected to the internet through the WiFi
module, by pressing Download Firmware, you will connect to www.bartinst.com to see if any
updates are available. Once it has found the firmware, you have the option to update your
controller. Updating firmware will NOT affect the firing programs.
Reset WiFi – Press Reset WiFi when having trouble with the WiFi connection. The
controller will reset the WiFi connection and attempt to reconnect to your currently saved
connection.
Export Log File – Used to activate Server Mode. This allows the controller to “serve” a
file to a computer/phone that is on the same access point as the controller. When “Export Log
File” is pressed, the controller will list an IP address and a code. Type the address listed on the
controller into your internet browser and then enter the code when prompted.
The last 10 firings will be listed and each firing has 2 files – the temperature data and
the event file. The temperature file collects data every 30 seconds. The event file collects data
any time an “event” occurs such as a hold or an error occurs. Click on the file to be observed to
download it.
Manual WiFi Setup – Used to manually set up a WiFi network that is hidden or
otherwise not found when running WiFi Setup. Enter the network name under SSID and press
“Save”. Under password, enter the network password at press “Save”.
Temperature F/C
Choose which temperature scale to use with your kiln, Fahrenheit or Celsius. To change
the temperature scale, press “Temperature F/C”, press the desired temperature scale, either
“Fahrenheit” or “Celsius”, and press “Save”.
Error Codes
Turn the error codes on or off for the kiln. The default setting for the controller is On.
We recommend you keep the error codes on to protect your firings. They can be turned Off, in
special cases, such as jewelry or glass firings where the kiln is left open. They may also be turned
off when troubleshooting kiln problems.
Number of Zones
Change the number of zones (Thermocouples) the Genesis will control. For 3140 model
choose: 1, 2, or 3. The Model 1120 can only be set for 1 zone.
