ELEC | Electronics | The Sentry circuit board is rated for operation at temperatures up to |
|
158˚F/70˚C. When the circuit gets hotter, the Sentry shuts off. The ELEC option tells you how hot the circuit board is.
ETH
Electronics Too Hot | The Sentry circuit board is too hot, so the kiln was shut off. |
FAIL | Failed The thermocouple failed. This can be due to a broken thermocouple, loose |
thermocouple connection on the back of the Sentry, disconnected thermocouple wire, or a defective controller.

FULL
Full Speed | The rate, or temperature change per hour, is maximum. |
Hd 1 | Temperature Hold | When this message appears during |
programming, it is asking you if you want to hold, or maintain, the target temperature of that segment. If so, enter the length of hold time in hours and minutes (i.e. 1 hour 20 minutes = 01.20). The number after Hd is the segment number. Each segment in a
