KM OPERATING MANUAL
KM 700 BOARD ADDENDUM CONTINUED
CHG ° (Change from Fahrenheit to Celsius Scale)
The controller can display temperature values in Fahrenheit or Celsius. If the scale is set to display in
Celsius an LED dot will illuminate in the bottom right hand corner of the display. To select a new scale
press “ENTER” and it will automatically toggle to the alternate scale. “ °C ” represents Celsius and “ °F “
represents Fahrenheit.
16-S (16 Segment)
This option links the Ramp and Hold programs stored in memory positions 5 and 6 to create a 16 segment
program. Normally a program is limited to 8 segments. This feature will only display when a ConeFire
Mode program or the number 5 user program is loaded. (See your manual for programming instructions).
dIAG (DIAGNOSTICS)
“dIAG”, or Diagnostics, is where all of the diagnostic tools are located. The following Options are avail-
able under the “dIAG” menu.
ERTF (Err Temp & Time of Last Firing)
This feature will display the temperature and the point of time in the firing at which the last Error occurred.
Often times this information is helpful in troubleshooting the problem which created the error. Once
“ERTF” is selected it will first flash the temperature at which the error occurred and then the time into the
firing it occurred. The ERTF information will also appear automatically when an error alarm sounds and
the program is terminated. Pressing any key will show the temperature and elapsed time at which the error
occurred.
VOLT (Voltage)
This feature is used to test the voltage supply to your kiln. It tests the voltage first with the elements off ,
“No Load” and then again with the kiln on, or “Full Load”. Select “VOLT” from the “dIAG” menu after
the “NOLd” reading is displayed press “ENTER” to receive the “FLLd” reading.
The power to the kiln will be switched on for a brief moment when the voltage under load is checked, BE
SURE THAT THE CONTROL BOX AND KILN LID ARE CLOSED BEFORE YOU USE THIS
FEATURE TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Our technicians can use this information to help you troubleshoot voltage related problems over the phone.
When the voltage readings appear on your display write them down. Often times voltage related problems
can happen only at certain times of day so try to obtain the readings at the same general time your kiln
would be firing.
AMPS (Amperes)
This is probably the most useful diagnostic tool available to you. All KilnMaster kilns produced after 2006
are equipped with a current sensor in the control box. This allows us to test the current of each output to
the kiln. This is very helpful in determining if a relay or element needs replacing. BE SURE THAT THE
CONTROL BOX AND KILN LID ARE CLOSED BEFORE YOU USE THIS FEATURE TO AVOID
ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
