Output 4 Options – (Usually set as a factory option)
Output 4 has 3 modes for running vent fans (Options A, B, & C), one mode that uses
Output 4 to indicate the alarm has triggered (Alarm), and one mode for running elements in the
lid or floor of the kiln (Percent).
Option A – Used to control a vent. Output 4 can be programmed to be on or off during
each segment of a Custom program. During a Ceramic or Glass program, output 4 come on at
the beginning of the firing and turns off after the kiln has cooled to 150°F.
Option B – Used to control a vent. Output 4 can be programmed to be on or off during
each segment of a Custom program. Output 4 comes on at the beginning of a Ceramic or Glass
program, off at 1450°F, back on after the firing is complete and the kiln has cooled to 1000°F
and finally off again when the temperature is below 150°F.
Option C – Used to control a vent, an alarm, or other atmospheric control. Output 4 can
be programmed to be on or off during each segment of a Custom program. Output 4 is off
during Ceramic and Glass programs.
Alarm – When this option is selected, Output 4 comes on when the alarm is triggered or
an error code is encountered.
Percent – Output 4 can be programmed to be on for a percent of the time Output 3 is
on. This option is used when Output 4 controls floor or lid elements. To ensure Output 4 stays
off at all times, use this option and set the percentage to zero.
