ErCd
- Used to turn on or turn off the error codes. When you receive your controller the error codes are turned on. In
most cases, you want the error codes on to protect your firings. They can be turned off if you are doing special
firings, such as jewelry or glass firing where the kiln is left open.
NOTE: When ErCd is turned OFF.
When errors are off, Err6 (t/c backwards) is still on. In cone fire mode during
the last segment (i., e., the last 250 degrees) of the firing, Err1 (ramping too slow ) and Err8 (temperature
falling) are turned on. Error Codes “off” also turns the “LAG” feature off.
Example:
Turn the error codes off.

CPL flashes several times indicating the error codes are off. The
current temperature then flashes in the display.
bd t (circuit board temperature) –
Press enter when “bd t” is displayed and the circuit board temperature will be
displayed. It is used for diagnostics. If FAIL is displayed indicating a failed thermocouple (t/c), press the Other
key until “bd t” is displayed, press ENTER. If the t/c is faulty then the displayed temperature will be
approximately room temperature. If the circuit board has failed then FAIL will continue to be displayed.
Hot Keys while the kiln is firing
.
#5 Key -
pressing the number 5 key will show the calculated rate of rise. If the kiln has been on for less than 8
minutes, the display will show the programmed rate of rise and not the actual rate.
#8 Key -
pressing the number 8 key will cause three of the display decimal points to act as pilot lights for the
elements. The thousands decimal point will light when the top element is on, the hundreds decimal point
will light when the middle elements are on, and the tens decimal point will light when the bottom elements
are on. When you have a single zone control kiln (one thermocouple) the decimal points will light in
unison although there might be some slight variation when each of the decimals come on.
