In this video we will demonstrate how to upgrade your kiln from Type K thermocouples to Type S.

• Brick plugs
• Brick cement
• Type S Thermocouples (short for most kilns)
• Type S Thermocouples (long for Easy-Load)
• Type S Lead Wire (by the foot)
• All Type S Lead Wire (Assemblies)
• Spade Terminals for thermocouples
• Check Control Transformer on an L&L Automatic Kiln (Video)

  How to check the operation of a control transformer on an L&L automatic kiln. Applies to all automatic kilns that are not 480 volts. The control transformer reduces the incoming line voltage from 240, 208 or 220 volts to 24 volts for the control and 12 volts for the relays. See this page for more detail.

  Parts
• See this page for 12 KVA control transformers used on kilns with three sections or less.
• See this page for 30 KVA control transformers used on kilns with four or more sections.

The most important debugging tool in any toolbox is a trusty multimeter. A multimeter can measure continuity, resistance, voltage and sometimes even current, capacitance, temperature, etc.
