HeathersGoodEarth Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 I've just received my new Skutt 8x4 LT test kiln and thought I'd take it out for a spin. I plug it in, it beeps, flashes "idle" and the temp alternately, but when I push the start/stop/enter nothing happens. Then I try the Up View Segment button and it gives me a Opt message. And there it stays, locked that way. Nothing in the error messages nor regular messages says anything about "Opt." Help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 If you press Start/Stop/Enter, the screen continues to read Idle? What happens if you press it and then press the up arrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeathersGoodEarth Posted March 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Yes, the screen stays on flashing Idle/<temp>, as I hadn't pushed anything. I press it a few times and nothing. Then I try the up button and I get the OPt message, then it's just locked. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 NO clue. Call Skutt on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilestrick Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 I checked through the manual that Bartlett has on their web site (they build these for Skutt) and they didn't have anything about OPT either. Usually when a controller locks up there's something wrong with it. Open up the control panel and make sure everything on the controller circuit board is tight. The larger controllers have a ribbon connector that can come loose. If these little ones have that, too, make sure it's tight in the slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Min Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 If you go to page 23 of this, under the configuration heading there is an Output#4 Option which looks almost like your display code. OPb with part of the b missing???? Long shot but as close as I could find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's odd that it's freezing on that, especially when the manual shows that pushing the up arrow from idle shouldn't do anything at all. Plus the controller can make a 'b', and that's definitely a 't'. It's an odd one for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeathersGoodEarth Posted March 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 Thanks guys. I'm retescent to open it up because it's brand new out of the box. I don't want to void any warranties? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
