Why do the Firebox 8x4LT, Firebox 8x6LT and GlazeTech use a different style of relay than most other kilns?
The lower amperage of the three models allow Skutt to use a Solid State Relay which has a loger lifespan than a mechanical relay.

Because computer circuit boards are susceptible to damage by voltage surges, all computer controlled Skutt kilns have a .5 amp fuse to protect the electronics.
This fuse holder fits all computerized Skutt kilns and wall mount controllers.

Because computer circuit boards are susceptible to damage by voltage surges, all computer controlled Skutt kilns have a .5 amp fuse to protect the electronics. Normally, you will see a very small, human hair, sized wire inside the small glass fuse. If you do not see a wire or you see a small burn mark you need to replace your fuse.
If your computer does not have a display, the first thing to check is the fuse.

Because Skutt PK kilns draw over 48 amps, electrical codes require them to include fuses. These fuses are located in a fuse block behind the heat baffle in all PK kilns.
Non-PK kilns do NOT use these fuses.

Yellow vinyl covered thermocouple wire is used to make the connection from the back of the heat baffle to the touchpad. Vinyl wire is less heat resistant than cloth covered wire so it is used in applications where there is little chance it will contact hot kiln parts.
This lead wire includes a jack for a KM-1 wall mount controller and is 8' long.
Do I need to replace the porcelain block and wire if I replace the thermocouple?
No. As long as the wire and block are not damaged or corroded you will not need to replace them.
Which wire is positive and which is negative?
On a thermocouple, the red wire is negative and the yellow wire is positive.

This terminal strip is used on several models of Skutt kilns. It is used on all KM kilns to connect the harness wires to the feeder wires and to connect the thermcouple wires through the heat baffle. PK kilns use this terminal strip to attach the three sets of thermocouple wires through the heat baffle.
This package inludes terminal strip, plastic label strip, tabs, mounting screws for tabs and screws for mounting to the heat baffle.

The current sensor is a device that will allow you to read the Voltage and Amperage of your kiln through use of the Diagnostic Menu options on your controller. It is to be used in conjunction with the KilnMaster and GlassMaster 700 Boards. If your kiln was manufactured with a 700 board than you should already have a current sensor installed in your kiln.
In order to operate properly, the sensing coil of the current sensor must be placed over some of the wires that connect the power cord terminal block to the kiln’s relays. Usually the kiln will have two or three relays. It is only necessary to pull one wire from each relay and thread it through the sensing coil, then reconnect the wires.

All Skutt kilns and wall mount controllers use the same touchpad regardless of age. The touchpad unit comes complete with the circuit board and touchpad. No mounting screws are included.
By default, the touchpad comes configured for a Type K thermocouple (the most common and least expensive for kilns), but it is available configured for an S-Type thermocouple as well. Please contact us if you need to order a new touchpad for an S-Type thermocouple.

All Skutt kilns that have a computer controller use the same transformer. The transfomer takes the building's voltage of 240/208/120V AC and reduces it to 12/24V AC to run the computer board and relays.
If you suspect your transfomer is bad, carefully inspect the metal tabs at the top. Each one should have a very small copper wire soldered to it. If one of those connections is broken, you must replace the transformer.

Feeder wires are used to connect the element pigtails to the terminal strip. A new feeder wire set includes crimp on barrel connectors, wires, blue female tabs and labels for each wire that correspond to the terminal strip. Wires are also pre-stripped so all you need to do is crimp on the barrell connectors and attached them to your elements.
If the white insulation on my feeder wires has turned brown do I need to replace them?
If the insulation is slightly discolored, but still flexible, it does not need to be replaced. If the wire is brittle or stiff it should be replaced.
Is it possible to remove a crimped on barrell connector?
Possible, yes, but very difficult. As elements are fired they become increasingly brittle and any force applied to them can cause a break. If you need to remove a barrell connector, cut it in half horrizontally so you are only working with half of it. After that you can carefully try to cut away enough metal from the connector to loosen it and carefully twist it off the element.
