Lid Handle
Evenheat understands the importance of handles and takes pride in their thoughtful design, ensuring they serve their intended purpose effectively. Their lid handles embody this commitment by featuring a long handle that is not only easy to grasp but also simple to operate.
Strategically placed at the corner, this broad handle guarantees a secure and effortless lifting experience, even when wearing gloves. Its distinctive design not only sets it apart but also enhances the overall user experience, turning every interaction into a delightful one.

Once set, you can effortlessly tilt it back down for a clear view from any location in your studio. Its operation is intuitive and straightforward.
The Swing View is particularly well-suited for touchscreen controls such as the TAP II or Icon+, ensuring you have the perfect viewing angle. You'll undoubtedly appreciate its convenience and functionality.
Swing-Away Peephole Covers
Evenheat's kiln models showcase an ingeniously crafted innovation – the swing-away peephole covers, a significant departure from traditional plugs. This simple yet remarkable design advancement has effectively addressed common issues.
Say goodbye to the hassles of losing or damaging plugs, as these peephole covers are securely affixed to the kiln. They swing open and shut effortlessly, ensuring they stay in place and remain intact. This thoughtful design eliminates worries about misplacement or breakage, providing a worry-free experience.

Accessing the mechanical relays is a straightforward task – simply remove the access plate. This eliminates the complexities of dealing with internal wiring or the inconvenience of detaching the control panel. This direct approach is particularly advantageous, especially when addressing inevitable mechanical relay issues.
While mechanical relays are susceptible to wear and tear, it's important to consider the recommended alternative: the long-lasting Quiet Drive Solid State Relay system. Details about this superior choice can be found in the next section.
Single Maintenance Line & Full Jackets

Tired of dealing with the frequent problems and costly maintenance associated with mechanical relays? It's time for an upgrade.
Introducing the Quiet Drive Solid State Relay System by Evenheat, a groundbreaking technological marvel known for its complete absence of mechanical parts, ensuring enduring and maintenance-free operation. Immerse yourself in its exceptional performance, delivering precise and controlled heating that consistently produces superior results.
Unpacking the World of Relays: Solid-state relays (SSRs) emerge as a robust and dependable alternative to conventional mechanical relays, which rely on moving metal contacts and electromagnets. SSRs embrace a solid semiconductor block, entirely devoid of moving parts, revolutionizing temperature control in kilns.
Advantage 1 - Uninterrupted Operation: SSRs boast unparalleled longevity. Unlike their mechanical counterparts, they operate without the wear and sparking commonly associated with mechanical relays. Say goodbye to the familiar clicking sounds in a kiln, signaling mechanical relay operation, which inevitably leads to wear and costly repairs. In contrast, Evenheat's SSRs operate silently and reliably, offering durability that aligns with the life expectancy of your kiln or oven.
Advantage 2 - Precision in Temperature Control: Mechanical relays are bound by limits in cycling frequency, balancing control effectiveness and relay lifespan, typically cycling every 10 to 14 seconds. SSRs, on the other hand, achieve a staggering cycling rate of up to 120 times per second, allowing for rapid adjustments and unparalleled temperature accuracy. Every Evenheat control, including the now-standard Icon controller that supersedes the previous Set-Pro, harnesses the rapid cycling of SSRs to ensure extraordinary temperature precision.
Advantage 3 - Extended Life for Heating Elements: Solid-state relays employ Zero Crossing technology, ensuring precise switching on and off at the zero-voltage point within AC power cycles. This innovation significantly extends the lifespan of heating elements, as they operate at the ideal voltage, minimizing wear compared to mechanical relays lacking this precision.
Design Excellence - 30 Amp Capacity: Evenheat thoughtfully selects SSRs rated for 30 amps, yet operates them conservatively at 15 amps, creating a substantial safety margin for consistent and dependable performance. This practice ensures SSRs function comfortably within their derating curve, even when handling a 15-amp load, fostering cool operation and extended longevity. It's a testament to Evenheat's dedication to superior design.
Design Excellence - External SSR Heatsinks: Effective cooling proves indispensable for SSR longevity. Evenheat addresses this by externally mounting the SSR heatsinks, promoting airflow and mitigating heat buildup within the control enclosure. This design effectively isolates heat transfer between the control enclosure and the SSRs, reinforced by standoffs creating an air gap for cooling. This intentional design choice underpins optimal SSR operation, underscored by an impressive track record boasting zero failures over six years.
