Error Code |
Description |
Causes |
Correction |
|
E-0 |
Software Error. |
Caused by hardware or electrical noise, can be
caused by electrical spikes, surges, or arcing across
the relay |
Recheck the selected program, and
reprogram if
necessary. |
|
E-1 |
The temperature is increasing less than 12 degrees
per hour during a ramp segment, where the temperature is
programmed to increase. This slow rate must persist for
22.5 minutes before the error is displayed |
Worn or old heating elements
Low voltage to the
kiln
A broken heating element or faulty relay
Burned or broken wires to the elements or relays
Electrical noise |
Check elements.
Check Relays
Use VOLT Menu
feature to check voltage. |
|
E-2 |
During a hold segment the temperature rises to
greater than 50 degrees above the hold temperature which
was set. The temperature must stay 50 degrees above this
set temperature for 18 seconds before the error is
displayed. |
Stuck relay. |
If only one section (or relay) remains on
then it
is a stuck relay. Turn of breaker to
shutoff power to
the kiln. |
|
E-3 |
During a hold segment the temperature is more than
50 degrees below the hold temperature which was set. The
temperature must stay 50 degrees below this set
temperature for 18 seconds before the error is
displayed. |
Opening the door or lid of the kiln.
Relay or
element failed during firing. |
Check relay.
Check elements. |
|
E-4 |
The firing is in a ramp segment where the
temperature is programmed to decrease and temperature is
more than 50 degrees above the previous hold
temperature. The temperature must remain 50 degrees
about the hold temperature for 18 seconds before the
error is displayed. E- 4 is the same as E- 2 except that
E- 4 occurs during a ramp phase rather than a HOLD |
Stuck relay
Skipped step feature |
Check relay
If E- 4 occurs when skipping a ramp
phase,
press a key to clear the error.
Allow the
kiln to cool to within 50 degrees
of the next hold
temperature.
Restart kiln and skip steps until you
get to
the segment you want. |
|
E-5 |
The temperature is more than 50 degrees below the
local set-point temperature during a ramp segment where
the temperature is programmed to decrease. The
temperature must stay 50 degrees below this set
temperature for 18 seconds before the error is
displayed. |
Open door or lid
Bad elements
Bad relay |
Check elements.
Check relay. |
|
E-6 |
A Negative temperature is displayed. This generally
indicates the thermocouple is connected incorrectly. To
correct this situation, ensure the red and yellow wires
are connected correctly to the controller and at all
junctions. You can identify the red lead on an unmarked
thermocouple with a magnet because a magnet will be
attracted to the red lead. |
Using the kiln in temperatures below 0 degrees °F
(17 degrees °C)
Thermocouple (T/C) connected
backwards, red and
yellow leads reversed.
Board
has been damaged by static electricity or ESD
(electro static discharge) |
Check T/C to make sure it is
connected properly.
Do T/C bypass test, if temperature reading
is still
negative, the board has been
damaged and needs
service. |
|
E-8 |
When
using the CONE FIRE MODE, the temperature is decreasing
during the last ramp segment. If this a KilnSitter Kiln
using a Wall Mount Controller, KilnSitter may have shut
off the kiln |
Faulty relay
Broken Element
KilnSitter Shut-off
kiln |
Check relay.
Check Elements
Check Cone used in
KilnSitter |
|
PF |
Continuous PF in display. |
Indicates a long-term power outage The kiln has been
shut
down. |
Press 1 to clear the display and restart the
kiln. |
|
Err P |
A
continuous Err P indicates a short term power outage has
occured and the kiln has continued with the program. |
Power Outage
Power Surge |
Press 1 to clear the display
If firing was in
progress, it will continue. |
|
Err- |
The
Err with a dash indicates there was a power loss to the
controller while writing a program to the non-volatile
memory chip. |
Power loss |
Recheck the selected program, and
reprogram if
necessary. |
E- E
or
E- t |
A
hardware error has been detected by the controller
software. |
Hardware error |
The
controller must be returned for service. |
|
E-d |
The
kiln or one of the zones in a zone control kiln, is more
than 100°F (37°C) above the travelling set point. |
Stuck relay |
Check relay |
|
E- A |
Invalid Program variable |
|
Reprogram if problem persists have board
sent in for
service |
|
StUc |
Key
was held too long or was stuck |
|
If
problem persists after releasing key have
keypad
replaced |
|
E-db |
Controller is reading a board temperature above 160
degrees. Firing has stopped. |
Room
temperature is too hot.. |
Lower room temperature below 100°F
(37°C) |
|
E- H |
Analog to Digital Converter did not pass the self –
check diagnostic test on reset. |
|
Board will need to be serviced |
|
FAIL |
Steady display all thermocouples (T/C’s) have failed. If
flashing thermocouples of a zone control kiln has
failed. |
|
Change T/C |
