Operation of the Controller during a firing
The V6-CF controller eliminates much of the “babysitting” that is required with a manual kiln.
To ensure the most consistent results from one firing to the next, you should understand how the controller
operates and monitor the firing to ensure proper operation. The block diagram and flow chart show the
basic components of a kiln’s control system.
