Menu
– The menu is a list of options that allow you to add segments to a firing (PRHT, 16-S), adjust
calibration (CNOS, TCOS), change settings (CHG
o
, Id, RSET, ERCd), or check board temperature (bd
T). Navigate forward through the menu by pressing MENU and navigate backwards through the menu
by pressing ALARM.
NOTE: PrHt (Preheat) will only appear in this menu when a CONE FIRE program has been selected.
16-S will only appear when a Cone fire or User 5 is the selected program.
TO EXIT this menu without selecting any option, press STOP

DECRIPTION
RSET
Resets the t/c offset to 0 and sets error codes to on. Press MENU until “RSET” is
displayed and then press ENTER to activate the reset.
PRHT
PRHT shows in the menu only when a cone fire is programmed.
Preheat is used with the CONE FIRE mode only. When Preheat is selected, the
temperature ramps up at 60
o
F/hour (33
o
C/hr) to 200
o
F (93
o
C) and then holds at 200
o
F
(93
o
C) for the amount of time programmed. Preheat is automatically set to zero during
cone fire programming and at the end of each firing. Therefore, if a preheat stage is
desired, it must be reprogrammed for each firing and be the last item programmed before
START is pressed.

Id
Identification number for KISS computer interface
16-S
Is only in the menu when a Cone Fire or User 5 is programmed
Connects User 5 or a Cone fire program to User 6. 16-S/on flashes during program
review when this option is enabled. See notes on next page.
CNOS
Adjusts the heat-work for each cone number individually. This affects only the cone
number adjusted. S

CHG°
Switches between °F and °C
ERCd
Allows the error checking of the controller to be turned on or off.
TCOS
Adjusts the calibration of the temperature readings. This adjustment affects all cone
numbers and user programs. TCOS is usually used to balance a multi-zone controlled
kiln.
bd T
Displaying the board temperature is a diagnostics function to check the operation of the
board. Used to ensure a FAIL message is due to a bad TC and not due to a faulty
controller. Press Menu until “bd T” is displayed then press ENTER. The temperature
measured at the circuit board will be displayed for about 1 second. If you get a “FAIL”
message and board temperature is approximately room temperature then the
thermocouple is faulty.
