Sterling VanDerwerker Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 I'm preparing to install a computer controller on my Paragon A82B high fire kiln. I bought a Bartlett V6-CF board and a thermocouple several years ago and am now ready to install the board. Should I attach a metal electrical box the proper size or cut the existing shield between the rotary switches? thanks! I appreciate any advice Sterling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 The existing control box is not set up for a digital controller. It does not have the correct heat baffles, and may not be vented properly. It would be best to build an external control box, either mounted to the kiln itself or mounted to the wall. I prefer wall mounted because the box stays cooler and the parts last longer. You could also use the box for other kilns in the future. Do you know how to hook up the controller with relays, transformer, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
