WHAT IS THE ENVIROLINK?
The EnviroLink is an electrical switching device that can be controlled
by a Skutt automatic kiln. It can be used to turn your kiln vent
on and off.
WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM AN
ENVIROLINK?
Teachers - Even though most vents do not draw a
lot of energy, most teachers do not feel comfortable letting the fan
motor run all weekend or even overnight. The EnviroLink will shut
the vent off when the program is complete or when the kiln reaches a
specific temperature. Since it works with ConeFire Mode, it is
very easy to program.
Potters - Crystal Glazes and Cone 6 Glazes can be very sensitive
to cooling rates. Artists can now use the Ramp/Hold programming
mode to control whether the kiln vent is on for each segment of the
firing program.
Glass Artist - Artists who fire glass want to cool quick
and hold steady. With the EnviroLink they can program the vent to
come on when crash cooling, and then turn off during annealing (when
they are trying to hold the temperature steady).
WHAT KILNS WILL IT WORK ON?
The EnviroLink will work on any Skutt KilnMaster or GlassMaster
Kiln which was manufactured after January of 2001. If you are not
sure how old your kiln is, write down your serial number along with the
model number, voltage and phase and call Skutt. The EnviroLink
will also work with many competitive brands of kiln (many using Bartlett
controllers). Call your particular kiln manufacturer to find
out.
WHAT OTHER VENTS WILL IT CONTROL?
It will control the EnviroVent, The EnviroVent 2 and any other
DownDraft Vent that draws less than 12 amps on a 120 volt circuit.
Consult with your Vent manufacturer to be sure.
