The upgrade price is only for a Sentry 12-key ordered with a new kiln. \u003cbr\u003e Controller Comparison \u003cbr\u003e Because you can type numbers into the 12-key Sentry, it is faster to program than the 3-key. (Numbers are programmed into the 3-key Sentry Xpress by scrolling up or down with arrow keys.) \u003cbr\u003e Ramp-Hold programs are divided into segments. Each segment has a target temperature, firing rate, and, if desired, a temperature hold. Hold (soak) maintains a specific temperature. (Programs remain in storage even when the kiln is unplugged.) \u003cbr\u003e Program Storage, 12-key Sentry: one 20-segment and eight 10-segment programs \u003cbr\u003e Program Storage, 3-key Sentry Xpress: four custom programs, 8 segments (steps) each \u003cbr\u003e General Features That are Unique to the 12-key Sentry \u003cbr\u003e Firing Cost: Enter your cost of electricity and the kilowatts used by your kiln. At the end of a firing, the controller will give the cost of electricity to fire that load. Find out how little a kiln actually costs to fire. Learn to conserve energy by experimenting with firing speed, load density, etc. \u003cbr\u003e AOP Vent: The “Auxiliary Output” is available on most Paragon kilns that have the 12-key Sentry. The AOP is a relay-powered electrical receptacle mounted to the kiln. You can plug an Orton Vent Master into the AOP to control when the vent operates during firing. \u003cbr\u003e Stop\/Back Key goes back one step with each key press during programming to correct errors. \u003cbr\u003e Add Time Key adds five minutes to a temperature hold with each key press during firing. Helpful for glass with holds. \u003cbr\u003e Thermocouple Selection: The 12-key Sentry can operate types K, S or R thermocouples. \u003cbr\u003e Program Safety Lock for the program in active memory gives you peace of mind.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"col1\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"float: left; margin: 5px; border: 1px solid black;\" title=\"E-Series Bead Door\" alt=\"E-Series Bead Door\" src=\"https:\/\/tiendaenvasado.com\/s\/files\/1\/0010\/1931\/4239\/files\/paragon_bead_door.jpg?v=1523469781\" height=\"125\" width=\"125\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"col2\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eE-Series Bead Door\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdding the optional 2 1\/2” x 6 1\/2” bead door to your E-series is like buying two kilns instead of one. Not only can you fire enameling, glass, and ceramics, but with the bead door you can also anneal glass beads. Imagine the fun that this will add to your kiln. Comes complete with bead mandrel holder. \u003cbr\u003e Note: The kiln may not reach its maximum temperature and may fire a little slower when equipped with the bead door.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Paragon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":7311969419327,"sku":"PAR_XPRESSE12T","price":1706.97,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/tiendaenvasado.com\/s\/files\/1\/0010\/1931\/4239\/products\/PAR_XPRESSE12T_lg.jpg?v=1665416998","url":"https:\/\/tiendaenvasado.com\/products\/par_xpresse12t","provider":"tiendaenvasado","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
