Level 2 Options
Cone Offset - OFST
This offset feature allows you to adjust the final heating step of the Cone programs. This is useful when the kiln does not quite
bend witness cones to the desired angle. Cone Offset is a calibration feature that allows a temperature offset for the final
heating ramp of the cone program.
First, start a CONE program to make the OFST option appear in the option menu. Press the Increase/Option key until OPT2
appears, then press Program/Start key, Press Increase/Option until OFST appears. Press Program/Start to see the setting. Use
the Increase or Decrease key to edit the setting, then press Program/Start to exit the option menu.
OFST settings are stored in memory and will apply to all future Cone fire programs.

Thermocouple Offset - TCOS
This offset adjusts the thermocouple reading on the controller up to ± 45°F(25°C). TCOS can be used to compensate for
inaccurate temperature readings resulting from aged or poorly positioned thermocouples. Temperature offset applies to all
firings.
To Program the offset, Press the Increase/Option key until OPT2 appears, then press Program/Start key, Press
Increase/Option until TCOS appears. Press Program/Start to see the setting. Use the Increase or Decrease key to edit the
setting, then press Program/Start to exit the option menu.
If you want the kiln to fire Hotter, the display will show zero for offset, press the Increase key to see H-1. Continue pressing
until the desired thermocouple offset shows in the display (e.g. H-15 for a 15° offset) and press Program/Start.
If you want the kiln to fire Cooler, the display will show zero for offset, press the Decrease key to see C-1.Continue pressing
until the desired thermocouple offset shows in the display (e.g. C-10 for a 10° offset) and press Program/Start.
Temperature Deviation - TEDE
The TEDE Option sets a temperature deviation value to activate an audible and visual alarm. The temperature deviation
applies to the following alarms - FTH, FTC and LTDE. The factory setting is 100°F (56°C). The alarms can be disabled by
setting the value to zero.
Press the Increase/Option key until OPT2 appears, then press Program/Start key, Press Increase/Option until TEDE appears.
Press Program/Start to see the setting. Use the Increase or Decrease key to edit the setting, then press Program/Start to exit
the option menu.
High Temperature Deviation - HTDE
The HTDE Option sets a temperature deviation value to abort the kiln firing. The temperature deviation applies only to the
HTDE alarm. The factory setting is 100°F (56°C). The alarm cannot be disabled. The range is 18ºF – 200ºF (10ºC - 111ºC)
Press the Increase/Option key until OPT2 appears, then press Program/Start key, Press Increase/Option until HTDE appears.
Press Program/Start to see the setting. Use the Increase or Decrease key to edit the setting, then press Program/Start to exit
the option menu.
