AutoFire3000 Hand Held Controller Option

The AutoFire3000 stand-alone controller can be supplied with a hand-held controller that detaches from the wall unit. The Hand held controls allow flexibility in the location of the programmable keypad. The controller can easily be removed and stored away to prevent unauthorized use of the controller.

The benefit of the hand-held controls is that it's interchangeable with multiple wall units. If you have more than one kiln, but do not fire them simultaneously, you can save the expense of equipping each kiln with a complete controller system. Each kiln would require a relay wall unit for attaching the hand held controller.

Questions to help you select a stand-alone AutoFire3000 controller.

1. What is the voltage and current rating for the kiln?
   The controller will need to be equipped with components to handle the electrical load of the kiln.

2. Do you need Single Zone or Multi Zone Control?
   Multi Zone control will improve the temperature uniformity from top to bottom in the kiln. Multi zone controllers are direct-wire to the kiln. Power cords are optional.

3. What type of power cord and receptacle is needed on the controller?
   A variety of cord sets can be substituted at no additional charge. Stand-alone controllers can also be supplied as direct-wire systems with internal terminal blocks for electrical connections.

4. What type of thermocouple is required?
   Type K thermocouples are the most common and can be used reliably if the kiln is mostly fired to Cone 6 (2232°F) or below. For routine firings above Cone 6, Type S is recommended.

5. Do you need the optional Hand-held controller?
   The AutoFire3000 controller is available in the hand-held option. This allows the controller to be removed from the kiln, allows you to use the controller on multiple kilns equipped for the controller and allows flexibility in the location of the programmable keypad.

6. Do you want to control a vent fan with the controller?
   The AutoFire3000 controller can be equipped with an additional relay and outlet for your vent fan.
