Please log in for more thread options OK, the controller is a stand alone, not part of the kiln, so maybe I'll
take that out of the loop first. The wiring to the infinite switch looked
pretty simple, but apparently not simple enough for me.
I'll see if I can call AIM on Saturday, though it is pretty close to XMAS.
Thanks,
