Glass fusing kilns have  elements on the lid as well as in the sides, thus insuring even heating on all sized pieces.  Infinite switches give accurate control of the temperature; a separate switch for the lid element gives the user several firing combinations using the lid and wall elements.  
GFE-modeswitch.jpg (52768 bytes)

Most Olympic glass kilns with electronic controllers now ship with a lid element Mode Switch as a standard feature.  The Mode Switch is an isolation switch that separates the lid element and it's infinite switch from the electronic controller. 

It works like this:

In the "on" position, the Mode Switch connects the lid element to the electronic controller.  The lid element goes on and off with the side elements under normal electronic control.  The amount of power to the lid element is controlled by the infinite switch setting.
In the "off" position, the Mode Switch disconnects the lid element from the controller.  The lid element runs independently from the controller at whatever heat setting you select with the infinite switch.   

Three Olympic glass kilns DO NOT have the Mode Switch feature.  They are the 126, 129 and 146.  

Electronic controllers are the RTC1000 from Bartlett Instruments  You can read the manual here.

Olympic 208/240v Glass Kilns: Round  
      Your choice of 4 diameters and 2 depths

Elements in lid and sides.  Separate switch for lid element (see mode switch description at top of page) 
Max temp is 1700 degrees F if quartz porthole is ordered.  Otherwise max temp is 2250 - 2300 degrees.  Kilns with portholes can be fired to the hotter temperature if fiber is used to cover porthole (fiber is provided with kiln.)
