DYNATROL VIDEOS

In this video, we will explain our recommended program for your kiln's first firing using an L&L kiln Dynatrol.

This is our new recommended program and supersedes our old program, which may still be present in your manual.

How to change cycle time for the contactors/relays on a DynaTrol. We typically recommend 25 second cycle time for most kilns firing ceramics that have mechanical relays or contactors.

OTHER CONTROL VIDEOS

These three videos show you how to use and program the One-Touch Intuitive Kiln Control. There are three segments - basic operation, basic programming of options and advanced ramp/hold programming.
