Why the Controller Won’t Go Higher
Are you having problems getting your controller to program to your desired temperature? Usually, the cause is something as simple as the top temperature setting on the controller. It’s always important to know the capability, or maximum temperature, of your kiln before programming a firing. Our controllers come from the factory with the top temperature set to the kiln manufacturer’s requested temperature.
If you attempt to program a temperature higher than the controller’s top temperature setting, the controller will not allow it. This is intentional and serves as a safety feature to prevent firing beyond the kiln’s specifications. Limiting the maximum programmable temperature helps protect the kiln from operating hotter than it can safely handle.
