How to add items

The SelectFire™ Controller provides the user with a much more convenient and precise way of firing their kiln. It is available as a wall mount unit for upgrading existing manual kilns or factory installed on a wide range of AMACO kiln sizes.         click for photos

SelectFire™ FEATURES
CONE FIRE MODE
The Cone Fire Mode runs preprogrammed firing schedules that were designed to optimally fire ceramics at the speed, cone number and hold time you input.  They automatically slow down at critical phases such as the quartz inversion phase.

RAMP & HOLD MODE
This mode lets the operator design their own firing schedule with up to 8 segments. A segment includes: a rate, a temperature and a hold time. It will even hold in permanent memory up to 6 of your most frequently used programs.  You can program slow cooling as well, for working with crystal glazes.

DELAY & ALARM
After entering a program in either mode the controller will ask you if you want to input a specific temperature for an Alarm to sound.

It will then ask if you if you would like to Delay the start time of the kiln. This is helpful when you want to have the firing end at a time that is convenient for you to be present, or to save on energy bills by using at off-peak times.  The controls may be viewed in degrees F or degrees C. 

	Delay Firing Start: up to 99 hours and 99 minutes
	Cone Fire Mode: entry by cone number, 3 firing speeds, Cone 022  to Cone 10.
	Ramp/Hold Mode: Entry by temperature, create programs from 1-8  segments.  Each segment can specify a rate of heating or cooling to a  specified temperature with an optional hold, to a maximum temperature  of 2,350° F.
	Memory holds up to 6 firing programs.
	Safety features: Power failure detection, thermocouple Failure  Detection, Microprocessor Fault Detection.
	Electronic Cone Table: Converts cone numbers to temperature. Digital readout: Fahrenheit or Centigrade.
	Program Review: Reviewing program and current segment during firing.
	Temperature Alarm: Adjustable to desired temperature.
	Control Panel: Sealed touch pad, washable.
	Thermocouple: Encapsulated Type K.
	Designed and manufactured in the USA.
