The first three letters would indicate an error of some type had taken
place. Don't know what the D would stand for. It could have been a
computer glitch, and starting over reset the computer. Then again - it
could h ave be something else. But ERR is common for "error"

Does any one know what Errd means on a Skut controller? It's not in the =

manual. Restarted the kiln and it fired fine.

Jo - Here is a link to the error section of the Skutt kilnmaster manual a=
=3D
t the=3D20
Skutt website. There is a description there of Error D, which seems to =
=3D
be=3D20
what you need.
"Kiln temperature 50 degrees F above traveling set point"
http://www.skutt.com/pdf/op_manual/2009_op_manual/KM_Manual-
09_Menu.pg25.pdf#pagemode=3D3DError
If your kiln is older than 2009, you may need to check one of th eolder=3D2=
0=3D
versions of the manual, also available online at the Skutt website.

One my L&L, which uses same Bartlett controller, the ErrP code means:
Displayed whenever there is a power interruption that is long enough to sto=
p
the firing. If the power interruption is brief, the kiln will continue to
fire when power is restored; in this case, there will be no indication of a
power failure. To clear the error, press any key. (Error code).
Didn't find ErrD code description, but Skutt has a good online
troubleshooting guide, should check there.

check your manual all the error codes are there
errd--The kiln or one of the zones in a zone control kiln, is more than
100=3DB0F (37=3DB0C) above the travelling set point.

Thanks all. Looked at the Skutt site, lots more there than in the manual
that came with the kiln. Says it was a stuck relay and to check it. No
instructions for doing that, just changing them. It restarted and fired
fine, and did a glaze firing yesterday with no problems.

Jo, a relay may have temporarily malfunctioned. If a relay is locked
"on," it will cause the temperature to rise too high. If you get another
Errd message, I would unplug the kiln and visually check the relays for
signs of heat damage and for loose connections.
A section of elements will stay powered when a relay is locked in the on
position. When you first turn on the kiln, and the controller is at
Idle, can you hear the humming of elements? That is a sign that a relay
is still on.

I have become so accustomed to listening to the "click" of the relays as
they cycle on and off, that when that sound goes missing, I know there
is something afoot and I start looking. Just one way to keep track of
what your kiln is doing. You never drive a car without listening to it
"talk" to you, telling what it's doing. You never fly an airplane
without being aware of the sounds as the airplane talks to you, nor
should you not listen to what your kiln is telling you, in kiln
language. Very important.- touch, sight, sound - when operating a kiln.
My Paragon computer controlled kilns have a simple test on relays and
thermocouples. Your kiln should also have such tests described somewhere
in the literature for your kiln.
