The device utilizes a programmable power output (OUTPUT 4) on Skutt KilnMaster and GlassMaster Controllers to turn on/off the EnviroVent and EnviroVent 2. The kiln may be programmed to control the vent during any segment of a Ramp/Hold Program or during preset times of a ConeFire or Glass Fire Mode program. The EnviroLink may also be used to control competitor’s kiln vents and other devices such as remote alarms and automatic dialers. The vent, or other device, plugs into the EnviroLink and a control wire is run from the EnviroLink to a designated output (Output 4) on the controller. The EnviroLink is then plugged into a standard 120V outlet. When the controller signals the device to turn ON, a relay is switched within the EnviroLink which provides power to the device. A red indicator light signals that there is power to the EnviroLink and a green indicator light signals that the EnviroVent is in the ON position The EnviroLink will only work with 600 and 700 series Skutt GlassMaster and KilnMaster Controllers manufactured after January 1st of 2001. The EnviroLink is rated to cycle components up to 12 amps. Consult the manufacturer prior to installing the EnviroLink on devices other than the EnviroVent or EnviroVent 2. WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM AN ENVIROLINK? Teachers - Even though most vents do not draw a lot of energy, most teachers do not feel comfortable letting the fan motor run all weekend or even overnight. The EnviroLink will shut the kiln off when the program is complete or when the kiln reaches a specific temperature. Since it works with ConeFire Mode, it is very easy to program. Potters - Crystal Glazes and Cone 6 Glazes can be very sensitive to cooling rates. Artists can now use the Ramp/Hold programming mode to control whether the kiln vent is on for each segment of the fir- ing program. Glass Artist - Artists who fire glass want to cool quick and hold steady. With the EnviroLink they can program the vent to come on when crash cooling and then turn off during annealing when they are try- ing to hold the temperature steady. • • •
