Addendum
Congratulations on the purchase of your new kilns with the Transformer Package. The Package should
already be installed on your kiln and programmed to run your kiln as separate units (not stacked). The
controller for your kiln is for the most part exactly the same as a standard KilnMaster Controller so for
basic operations you will use the KilnMaster Manual that came with your kiln.
The Package Includes
Customized Transformer Controller
Extended Power Cord For Each Kiln Ordered with Package (18 FT)
Communication Ports Mounted to Outside of Each Control Box
Modular Cable for Connecting the Control Boxes
1 Reenforced Heavy Duty Welded Stand
How it Works
Two Menu features have been altered on the controller to allow you to configure the Transformer Set-
tings: 2 Key Press and ID. Both may be found under the Configuration Menu which is accessed through
the Menu button on your controller. The 2 Key Press feature is used to change the kilns from Standard
Mode to Transformer Mode. Once all the kilns being stacked have been toggled “ON”, the kilns are
designated as a Primary or a Secondary kiln by toggling them to the desired setting using the ID Menu
feature.
Only one kiln will be designated as the Primary Kiln (1) and the other one or two kilns (depends how
many you are stacking) will be set as Secondary Kilns (2 and 3). The Kiln Controller designated as the
Primary will be the only one you need to program after that.
Once the kilns are stacked, designated, connected and programed the Primary Kiln will give instruc-
tions to the Secondary kilns to cycle on or off to maintain the program entered.
INSTALLATION
1. Follow the installation instructions for PK kilns in your KilnMaster Manual. Be sure to place the kiln
which will be setting on the Heavy Duty stand in the middle so the cords from the other kilns can easily
reach when they are stacked.
STACKING THE KILNS
Your Transformer package came with 1 heavy duty welded stand and two standard stands. You will always use
the Heavy Duty Stand as the base when stacking kilns. Since it will be necessary to remove certain components it
is a good idea to have spot designated for placing and storing them until they will be reinstalled. Obviously a kiln
can only use one lid and slab so you will need remove the ones you will not be using. It is important to keep the
kiln sections in the ordered they were assembled in the factory when you are stacking and unstacking the kilns.
This will ensure that boxes fit properly on the kilns when they are reattached. It is also a good idea to keep the
lids and slabs with the kilns they were installed to ensure proper fitting.
