Relay Access Port

The HF 1813 features Evenheat's Relay Access Port, ingeniously designed for straightforward, hassle-free relay replacement without the need to remove the entire panel.

Users can effortlessly remove the access plate to reach the mechanical relays, bypassing the necessity to dismantle the control panel or navigate through intricate internal wiring. This process is incredibly straightforward and efficient, requiring nothing more than a screwdriver.

Considering that mechanical relays are bound to fail eventually, the inclusion of this relay access port by Evenheat proves to be extremely beneficial during such times.

While Pottery Pulse strongly recommends investing in the Quiet Drive Solid State Relay system, for those on a budget, this innovation serves as a valuable and user-friendly feature.

Full Stainless Steel Jackets

The concept of multi-section, multi-jacketed kilns was initially conceived to cut manufacturing costs and streamline the installation process, objectives that are undeniably admirable. However, this strategy often leads to a reduction in kiln quality—a sacrifice Evenheat is not willing to entertain.

Evenheat's dedication to superior craftsmanship is evident in their approach to kiln construction. Opting for complete stainless steel jackets that extend from the base to the lid, they prioritize enduring strength and stability. This intentional design choice ensures their kilns are impervious to leaks, wobbling, or structural weaknesses. Opting for an Evenheat kiln means choosing a product with full stainless jackets, where exceptional construction quality is not just an attribute; it's a commitment.

The HF 1813 offers a rich selection of control options, including the Icon, RampMaster II, Icon+, and Tap II.

Evenheat elevates these remarkable control systems by integrating Special Limits thermocouples for accurate temperature monitoring. They further optimize online application connectivity through the use of non-metallic faceplates to improve Wi-Fi reception. Explore further to uncover the distinctive features of these controls and understand why they represent the pinnacle of quality and ingenuity.

Icon

Born from the innovative Bartlett Spark platform, the Icon redefines the industry by introducing top-notch touchscreen capabilities at a competitive price point. As a standard feature of the HF 1813, the Icon signifies a remarkable leap forward in control technology.

Towards the end of 2023, the Icon, Bartlett Industry's brainchild from the Spark platform, was put through its paces by combined forces from Bartlett, Evenheat, and other sector experts. The results were outstanding: the device's programming was intuitive, its touchscreen interface received accolades, and the Quiet Drive Solid State relay functioned flawlessly, culminating in a successful round of trials.

In harmony with Evenheat's commitment to advancing control technology, the Icon builds upon the Spark platform by incorporating sophisticated features like Special Limits thermocouples for unmatched temperature accuracy and non-metallic faceplates to boost Wi-Fi connectivity for the Bartlett online application. The Icon sets new industry benchmarks, delivering exceptional performance and value.

RampMaster II

Originating from the esteemed Bartlett Instruments V6-CF platform, the RampMaster II is meticulously tailored for ceramic endeavors. Eschewing the widespread shift towards touchscreen interfaces, the RampMaster II presents pronounced buttons and a crystal-clear display, appealing to enthusiasts who cherish the tactile aspect of control.

Reflecting Evenheat's dedication to excellence, the RampMaster II integrates a Special Limits thermocouple, ensuring precise temperature regulation. When paired with the Quiet Drive Solid State Relay system, the device delivers peak performance, seamlessly blending advanced technology with a user-friendly interface.

Icon+

Hailing from the renowned Bartlett Genesis platform, the Icon+ enhances the user journey by integrating Special Limits thermocouples, delivering unmatched accuracy and redefining industry benchmarks. The device's performance is further amplified by a non-metallic faceplate, which notably boosts Wi-Fi connectivity, ensuring seamless integration with the Bartlett online app and pushing its functionality to new heights.

The Icon+ offers an incredibly user-friendly interface, ensuring a smooth and intuitive interaction. Coupled with the Quiet Drive Solid State Relay system, the Icon+ achieves exemplary performance, setting new standards for the industry.

The Icon+ is a testament to Bartlett's control system expertise and Evenheat's innovative design philosophy, merging to create a device that stands at the forefront of control performance in the industry.

TAP II

The TAP II Controller emerges as the flagship model within Evenheat's array of temperature controllers, featuring an expansive screen and an intuitive layout. This controller streamlines the process of crafting and executing firing schedules, making it remarkably straightforward. The sophisticated foundation of the TAP II ensures not just precision but also reliability in its performance, attributes that are magnified when paired with the Quiet Drive Solid State Relay system.

Higher voltage means lower amperage draw and greater efficiency, which can save money long term. 240V and 208V cost the same—most home studios use 240V, while 208V is common in schools or large facilities. Amperage refers to the amount of electrical current a kiln draws—higher amps require heavier wiring and breakers.

Single-phase is what almost all homes have. If your facility has three-phase, you can choose either—but three-phase is typically the better long-term option due to smoother power and improved efficiency.

Mechanical relays are standard and reliable. Solid-state relays (SSR) offer silent operation, faster cycling, greater precision, and longer lifespan—ideal for frequent or high-accuracy firings.

The following controllers are used across kilns sold by Pottery Pulse. Not all models offer every option—available controllers are listed on each product page. Some kilns include only the standard controller, while most allow upgrades for added precision and convenience.

Not all kilns can use a collar, but Olympic’s Hot Box kilns can be ordered with a collar to expand versatility. A blank collar simply adds height to the firing chamber, while a bead collar adds the same height and includes a built-in bead or annealing door for quick-access lampwork projects.

This safety feature automatically cuts power to the heating elements whenever the kiln lid or door is opened. It prevents accidental burns, protects elements, and resumes power only when safely closed. (Also called an automatic lid shutoff on Olympic kilns.)
