Reset - RST
The RST feature restores the original OEM values supplied with the controller. Do not perform a reset unless all other efforts to
correct faults with the controller have failed. A reset may change important option settings for your kiln. Before attempting a
reset, you should become familiar with the correct option settings for your controller. Most important is the TC option setting.
To reset, Press the Increase/Option key until OPT3 appears, then press Program/Start key. Press Increase/Option until RST
appears. Use the Increase or Decrease key to edit the setting from NO to YES and press Program/Start. This will reset the
controller settings. Verify the controller is accurately displaying temperature after the reset. You may need to adjust the TC
setting for the thermocouple and the F/C setting for the display temperature.
