Installation
Mounting The controller should be mounted on a flat vertical surface away from the kiln, so that it cannot be affected by the
heat that will radiate during the firing of the kiln.
A removable bracket at the rear of the controller is used for fixing. Slide the mounting bracket from the rear of
the controller and fix using two No 8 countersunk screws.
Connection It is vital that all electrical installation is carried out in a professional manner.
We do not recommend DIY installation of this product.
Before using the controller ensure the ‘Sensor Type’ (Shown on the rear of the controller), and the
thermocouple in the kiln are the same.
In most instances the controller will either have a plug which matches your kiln, or will be connected by your
supplier. If a plug is fitted check that the pin layout of the plug and socket are an exact match before plugging in.
If in doubt contact your kiln supplier
Safety It is strongly recommended that where a kiln is to be fired unattended that an additional totally
independent over temperature safety system is fitted.
Ensure there is no risk of water entering the controller or its connecting leads.
If you have not bought the kiln & controller as a package be sure you have read and followed EVERY part of this
manual.
Declaration This Equipment conforms to European Standards for Electrical Interference EN50081-1 and EN50082-2 when
installed as described in this manual. (See “Electrical Connections”)
Compliance Dated 1st December 1995
Problems In the unlikely event that your controller does not perform correctly ;-
Please first refer to the “Fault Finding” Section.
Check, or get someone else to check, that your firing sequence has been correctly entered.
Contact your supplier in the first instance, since they should have knowledge of your installation which we may
not be aware of.
When contacting us please check the initial display of the instrument (See “At switch on”)
