Diagnostics
Board Temperature: X˚!
Displays the current board temperature. Displaying the board temperature is a diagnostics
function to check the operation of the board. The safe range for board temperature is between
0°F - 160°F. Any temperatures below or above that range may cause damage to the controller.!
Run Manual Diagnostics!
This is used to manually begin a diagnostics test. It turns on each section of elements to
read voltage. The results are stored under Data Menu – Last Manual Diagnostics.!
New Element Diagnostics!
Run New Element Diagnostics when the elements have been changed to record voltages for
the new element. The results are stored under Data Menu – Last Element Change.!
Run Power Test!
Selecting this option runs the full power test for your controller. This test is used to check
the relays and elements of the kiln. To set the controller for a full power test, you can use the
Diagnostics tool, Full Power Test, in the Diagnostics menu. With the kiln empty and the lid
open, start the firing. Visually inspect the elements after the kiln has fired for 20 – 25 minutes.
Observe each element from where it comes into the kiln all the way around to see that it is
equally bright throughout. The following observations are possible:!
One sec'on of the kiln is dark and not coming on. !"#$%&"'()*+"%,+%'-./&"-"+/0/'12/"3/*-4"&%,'/".$/3/"

One element is not glowing at all. !"#$%&"%,+%'-./&"-"73(8/,"(3"7-+"/*/9/,.6"
There are darker (Cool) spots along the elements. !"#$%&"%,+%'-./&":(3,"/*/9/,.&6"

Relay Health: X!
Keep track of the number of on/off cycles of the relays on your kiln. An on/off cycle will be %
counted as one. When a relay is replaced, press the corresponding zone and press the RESET
button to set the number of cycles back to 0.!
Firing Hours: X.X!
Shows the number of total hours fired by the controller.!
