Appendix D: Common Questions and Situations
Q. How do I clear an error message?
A. To stop the sounding alarm, press anywhere on the screen. Then to clear the message,
press “Clear” and the controller will return to the IDLE screen.!
Q. What is a segment?
A. A segment is the basic building block of a program. Each segment consists of a ramp
rate in degrees per hour, a temperature you want to achieve, and whether you want to hold
there or not. For example, a program for drying ware going at 60°F/hour to 200°F and holding
for 2 hours would be a one segment firing, the ramp is 60, the temperature is 200, and the hold
is 2.00.!
Q. Do I need to use witness cones for each firing?
A. After checking your kiln with witness cones for the first few firings, if you are satisfied with
the results you are getting and how even the kiln is from top to bottom, then you do not need
to use cones in each firing. It is a good practice to periodically place witness cones in the kiln
to check for proper firing. If you suspect a problem or your results have changed, then it is a
good idea to check the operation of the kiln with witness cones.!
Q. Who do I contact for parts for my kiln?
A. For replacement parts for your kiln (relays, elements, etc.), contact the kiln manufacturer.
For any issues with your controller contact us at Bartlett Instrument Co. for a solution.
