Setting the KICstart Maximum Temperature
The Maximum Temperature setting for the KICstart refers to the highest temperature that the KICstart is
set to read. When you received your KICstart, it was preset for 932°F (500°C) as it's Maximum
Temperature. It can be changed. The highest temperature that the KICstart is capable of reading is
1050°C.
TIP: If you exceed this temperature while running a profile, your TC inputs will read OVR (over-
range). If this happens to you, the first thing to suspect is that the Maximum Temperature setting
for your KICstart is not set high enough for the temperature application you're attempting to
measure.
See instructions above for enabling the KIC Host screen.
Follow these steps to change the KICstart Maximum Temperature.
• Turn on the computer and start the KICstart software.
• Connect your KICstart to the computer via the communication cable.
• Turn on your KICstart.
• Observe the Host screen. The number that you'll be calibrating is the Max. Temp. Capability.
• Remove the cover of the KICstart, using a small screwdriver adjust the Max. Temp. Potentiometer
very slowly until the desired maximum temperature is achieved. This poteniometer is very
sensitive.
o Turn Clockwise to decrease the Maximum Temperature.
o Turn Counterclockwise to increase the Maximum Temperature.
