The upgrade price is only for a Sentry 12-key ordered with a new kiln. \u003cbr\u003eController Comparison \u003cbr\u003eBecause you can type numbers into the 12-key Sentry, it is faster to program than the 3-key. (Numbers are programmed into the 3-key Sentry Xpress by scrolling up or down with arrow keys.) \u003cbr\u003eRamp-Hold programs are divided into segments. Each segment has a target temperature, firing rate, and, if desired, a temperature hold. Hold (soak) maintains a specific temperature. (Programs remain in storage even when the kiln is unplugged.) \u003cbr\u003eProgram Storage, 12-key Sentry: one 20-segment and eight 10-segment programs \u003cbr\u003eProgram Storage, 3-key Sentry Xpress: four custom programs, 8 segments (steps) each \u003cbr\u003eGeneral Features That are Unique to the 12-key Sentry \u003cbr\u003eFiring Cost: Enter your cost of electricity and the kilowatts used by your kiln. At the end of a firing, the controller will give the cost of electricity to fire that load. Find out how little a kiln actually costs to fire. Learn to conserve energy by experimenting with firing speed, load density, etc. \u003cbr\u003eAOP Vent: The “Auxiliary Output” is available on most Paragon kilns that have the 12-key Sentry. The AOP is a relay-powered electrical receptacle mounted to the kiln. You can plug an Orton Vent Master into the AOP to control when the vent operates during firing. \u003cbr\u003eStop\/Back Key goes back one step with each key press during programming to correct errors. \u003cbr\u003eAdd Time Key adds five minutes to a temperature hold with each key press during firing. Helpful for glass with holds. \u003cbr\u003eThermocouple Selection: The 12-key Sentry can operate types K, S or R thermocouples. \u003cbr\u003eProgram Safety Lock for the program in active memory gives you peace of mind.\u003c\/div\u003e","published_at":"2019-01-06T09:27:19","created_at":"2018-04-11T13:23:10","vendor":"Paragon","type":"Paragon Upgrades and Accessories","tags":["options"],"price":9241,"price_min":9241,"price_max":9241,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":10268,"compare_at_price_min":10268,"compare_at_price_max":10268,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"all_variant_ids":[7308462850111],"variants":[{"id":7308462850111,"product_id":616762277951,"product_handle":"par_sentry12","title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"PAR_Sentry12","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"image_id":null,"available":true,"name":"Sentry 12 Key Controller Upgrade for NEW KILN ONLY - Default Title","options":["Default Title"],"price":9241,"weight":454,"compare_at_price":10268,"inventory_quantity":-13,"inventory_management":null,"inventory_policy":"deny","inventory_in_cart":0,"inventory_remaining":-13,"incoming":false,"next_incoming_date":null,"taxable":true,"barcode":""}],"available":true,"images":["\/\/dulcemielevents.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/paragon_sentry_c576305f-8600-4316-a763-72a2fd41301b.jpg?v=1665417670"],"featured_image":"\/\/dulcemielevents.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/paragon_sentry_c576305f-8600-4316-a763-72a2fd41301b.jpg?v=1665417670","options":["Title"],"url":"\/products\/par_sentry12"}
