Before operating the AutoFire Controller, read and follow these installation
instructions.
• Turn off the circuit breaker for your kiln. If your kiln is plugged into an
electrical receptacle, unplug the kiln from the wall.
• Never leave your kiln unattended. Follow your kiln manufacturer
recommendations for safety and monitoring. The controller warranty does not
cover damage from over firing, regardless of the circumstances. It is the
responsibility of the operator to make sure the kiln turns off at the end of the
firing.
Power requirements vary depending on the controller model you have selected.
Refer to the serial number label on the controller for the appropriate voltage and
current requirements. The controller contains relays that turn the kiln elements
on and off. Some relays will make clicking noises during normal operation. If your
controller is equipped with Mercury relays, the controller must be installed in an
upright position.
The controller should be mounted to a wall or a stand with the two brackets
attached to the top and bottom of the controller. Mount the controller in an
upright position with the power cord at the bottom. The power cord lengths
should determine location of the controller. Position the controller so that the
power cord will reach your outlet receptacles and the power cord of the kiln will
reach the controller receptacle.
Direct wire controllers: direct wire controllers will not have power cord
limitation. The installer can determine location of the controller.
• Do not mount the controller directly above the kiln or other heat source.
• Check the position of the ON-OFF switch on the right side of the controller.
Turn this switch OFF (OFF is the down position pushed in) until the
installation is complete.
