Now kiln owners can add the KilnMaster electronic control to their kiln in a matter of minutes.  The Skutt KilnMaster can be used with nearly brand of kiln.

Easy to Install
You need only to drill a small hold through your kiln's firebrick for the KilnMaster thermocouple (the stainless steel jacket is already punched on Skutt kilns) and plug your kiln into the unit.  The KM-1 ships with a 6-50 plug and has a receptacle for your kiln's 6-50 plug.

Wall Mounted convenience: 
The KilnMaster is easy to wall mount at eye level near your kiln, so you can monitor a firing without bending or stooping.  The color impregnated unbreakable housing and sealed touch pad faceplate are designed to keep clay and dust out.  They're easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Two Year Warranty: 
Like all Skutt products, KilnMaster's controllers are back by a two-year limited warranty.

Features: 
KilnMaster control features and specifications are identical to Skutt KM series automatic kilns. 
                     

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.
KinMaster Control Features
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.
Detects Power failures, and resumes firing if power is out for a short period.
Control Panel: Sealed touch pad, washable.
