The contactors on my Easy-Load, or Davinci kiln are loud. What can I do about it?
- The first and easiest thing to do is to change the cycle time of the contactors.
- This is done in the "Hidden Menu" . See the DynaTrol Instruction Manual (look for "Hidden Menu" and "Cycle Time")
- 4.4.10 CYCL: Cycle Time: The cycle time is the length of time between an element turning on two consecutive times. Using a short cycle time may improve temperature control, while using a long cycle time may improve relay life. Cycle time can be programmed anywhere from 10 to 60 seconds. The default setting from the factory is 14 seconds.
- It is possible to install rubber washers under the mounts of the contactors.
- It may be possible to retrofit the kiln with Solid State Relays. Contact factory for more information.
