ELEC  - Display electronics temperature

Diagnostic Tool

The 

ELEC

 feature displays the electronics temperature of the AutoFire® Plus/Pro or AutoFire® UniTemp™

Kiln Controller.  This feature is useful in monitoring the electronics temperature in severe environments or if
needed by factory technicians, kiln manufacturers, or kiln service technicians.

LoUn   - Program Lock Mode          

  

Default Setting:  Un (off)

The 

LoUn

 feature allows either a user program or a preset cone fire program to be locked into memory and to

disable program editing from the front panel.  This feature is useful when only one particular program is used
over and over, and multiple people may be firing the kiln.  When the program lock is set to 'Lo', only a delay
start can be selected, all other options can only be viewed, not changed. This feature is best used in a school or
contemporary studio where control of programming is needed.  Refer to Appendix G to implement this feature.
The information on this page can be separated from the manual, if desired.
