DETACHED CONTROL PANEL

• [Click here for details]
  
  
• Air Space: The control panel is mounted off the kiln with an air space in between it and the kiln - for more reliable operation.
  
  
• Reliable: Switches and sensitive components last longer.
  
  
• Plug in Sections: Kiln sections plug into the panel with flexible cords.
  
  
• Factory Service: The panel can be easily sent for factory repair (if ever necessary).
  
  
• Easy Access: The panel door is hinged for easy access to fuses and for service.
  
  
• Well Laid Out: All wiring is neatly laid out for easy maintenance.
  
  
• Ventilation: The instrument panel is well-ventilated.
  
• 
  
• Extensively Tested: All panels are tested with a special testing system.

POWER RELAYS WITH INDUSTRIAL GRADE WIRING

• On all automatic Jupiter kilns and all larger manual kilns (all except single phase J18, J18X, J23 and J230 which use zone switches for power switching) power is switched to the elements with sealed power relays.
  

BRANCH FUSING INCLUDED ON HIGH POWERED UNITS

• Protected Circuits: Each element circuit or zone is separately fused on kilns with more than 50 amps. This protects element circuits
  
  
• Meets National Electrical Code requirements.
  
  
• c-UL-us Listed: Panels (and kilns) are c-UL-us Listed.

ON/OFF SWITCH & CONTROL FUSE FOR AUTOMATIC PANELS

• On/Off Toggle Switch breaks power to the electronic control to insure that it is off when you want it to be off.
  
  
• Safer: Some say an on-off switch is not needed and that this is one more thing to break. Our on-off switch doesn’t break. Why wouldn’t you want to be able to turn off a major appliance that you don’t use all the time? In fact we have heard of kilns starting a firing cycle by themselves during an electrical storm because of lack of an on-off switch.
  
  
• Fused: Panel mount control fuse protects electronic control.

POWER CORD FOR SMALLER SINGLE PHASE KILNS

• A 50 amp 6-50P six foot power cord is included for J18, J18X, J23, J23PB and J230 single phase models.
• All other models feature a direct hook-up power terminal block.
• The NEMA plug configuration we use is shown.

CONTROL PANELS ARE CAREFULLY TESTED

• We designed our own special testing device to put each automatic control through a rigorous test before it ships.
  
  
• We actually simulate various temperatures as we put a test program through its paces.
  
  
• We do a high voltage pot test of each power circuit to test for shorts.
  
  
• We have a 28 point quality control checklist.
