Help Identifying Kiln

[restrepa]

Hi Everyone,

I would like help identifying a used kiln that I found for sale. I have the following photos and was told that it's a paragon kiln that has a sentry xpress 4.0 controller, a depth of about 9" and an interior width of about 11". The owner could not find the model number. Thanks for your help.

I am sure someone will know by memory but to be sure the owner should just take a picture of the equipment tag on the kiln. They almost always are affixed and contain the model, serial number, electrical requirement etc…..

Looks like it may be a Paragon Xpress-1193. If so, it is a discontinued kiln, though parts are still available.

A six-sided kiln that measures approximately 11” across the flats, 9” deep with 3” thick walls.

Hope the following helps,

Regards,

Fred

Features of the Sentry Xpress 3-key Controller for Ceramic Kilns

 

Fire to a pyrometric cone by merely entering cone number and slow, medium or fast speed.  Program Review lets you check the program you are about to fire.  Program the Temperature Alarm to sound when the kiln reaches a specific temperature.  Set the alarm to remind yourself to close a vented lid.  Design Ramp-Hold programs with up to 8 segments (steps).  Skip a segment in Ramp-Hold during firing without having to stop the kiln to reprogram.  Hold (soak) the temperature in both Cone-Fire and Ramp-Hold.  Experiment with Hold to improve color saturation of china paints.  Control both heating and cooling in Ramp-Hold.  Add Hold Time during firing without having to stop the kiln to reprogram.  Change the target temperature in Ramp-Hold during firing without having to stop the kiln to reprogram.  Temperature display throughout firing and cooling in your choice of °F or °C  Thermocouple Offset adjusts the thermocouple readout.  Set the Delay to turn on the kiln later to suit your schedule.  Error Messages report a disconnected thermocouple, stuck relay or broken element.  12 Month Warranty  LED Lights show whether you are in program, review, or firing mode.  Colorful, illustrated instruction manual.
