Does a digital kiln read out kilowatts used after each firing?
The Paragon Sentry 2.0 controller gives the electrical cost of a firing. In Options, enter the cost that you pay for electricity in kilowatt-hours. (A kilowatt-hour is 1,000 watts of electricity running for 1 hour.) You can enter the cost in any form of currency--dollars, Euro cents, British pence, Indian paisas, etc.
You also need to enter the kilowatts that your kiln uses. The wattage is listed on the kiln's electrical data plate.
After the kiln fires to completion, CPLT will appear in the display. Press 8. The firing cost will appear.
If you are considering a used kiln, look at the Sentry 2.0 keypad. If the 8 key is blank, the controller does not have the firing cost feature.
