Vent Control

Programmed Control 

  • The Vent Control allows you to control the operation of the Vent-Sure kiln vent with one of the outputs from the Genesis, DynaTrol, and, with limited function, the Genesis-Mini.

  • For the Genesis or DynaTrol, you set whether the vent is on or off in each segment of a program.

  • For Genesis Mini the vent control comes on automatically when the program starts and turns off automatically when the program ends (this will be at a high temperature so you will not get any cooling but it will be on when you need the kiln ventilation for fumes).

Construction

  • The Vent Control consists of a relay controlled from output #4 on the Genesis (or DynaTrol) or from the Safety contact on the Genesis-Mini.

  • There is a female 120-volt receptacle to plug the vent into and a cord to plug into a 120-volt wall outlet. (Note: This is not available for 220-24 volts).

  • There is a 6-foot wire that connects the control box to the kiln control panel. A grommet is included for non-factory installation.

Where it can be used

  • If it is used on kilns with powered bottoms (because the same output on the control is used), it will be controlled from the safety output (like on a Genesis-Mini).

  • It is designed for use with one kiln.

  • One Vent Control can control between 1-4 vents on a single kiln (if the kiln requires more than one vent). 

  • The Vent Control is only available for 120-volt vents.

Operation for Genesis & DynaTrol

NOTE: These options are set in the "Hidden Menu" in the DynaTrol, and for the Geneis, in MENU / CONFIGURATION / OUTPUT 4 OPTIONS

OPTION A (OP A)
  • Output 4 can be programmed to be on or off during each segment of a Vary-Fire program. During an Easy-Fire program, output 4 comes on at the beginning of the firing and turns off after the kiln has cooled to 150F.
OPTION B (OP B)
  •  Output 4 can be programmed to be on or off during each segment of a Vary-Fire program. Output 4 comes on at the beginning of an Easy-Fire program, off at 1450°F, back on after the firing is complete, the kiln has cooled to 1000°F, and finally off again when the temperature is below 150°F.
OPTION C (OP C)
  • Output 4 can be programmed to be on or off during each segment of a Vary-Fire program. Output 4 is off during Easy-Fire programs.
