TAP Control
The TAP control has established itself as Evenheat's premier temperature control. From its easy to use touchscreen layout to its phenomenal solid state control ability the TAP excels at all levels. The TAP was very well received when we introduced it in 2016 and has proven itself ever since. The defining feature of the TAP Controller is the touchscreen design that offers a large screen and visual ease. The TAP Controller allows the choice of using pre-loaded firing schedules (glass and ceramic) or creating your own custom firing schedules.
The TAP Controller utilizes a Proportional Integral-Derivative (PID) control algorithm to ensure accurate schedule following with the fastest response, minimal overshoot, and limited steady state error. We couple that with our special limits, low error thermocouple components for excellent control performance.
Evenheat worked closely with SDS Industries to develop software designed specifically for use with our Quiet Drive Solid State Relay System. Temperature control decisions are made in fractions of a second with the solid state relay following along effortlessly. We highly recommend pairing the TAP with our Quiet Drive Solid State Relay System.
Features
This controller will make firing kilns just a little bit easier in these ways:
*touch-screen technology for the user interface
*easy-to-follow screen prompts
*graphical display of the firing process right at the controller
*Store virtually unlimited number of user programs
*also a virtually unlimited number of segments per program
*Ability to make adjustment during a firing such as add segments, add temperature, and skip segments
*Built in diagnostics testing
*Alarm
*Error Codes
*WiFi enabled for easy software updating and monitoring (via usb wifi add-on
Genesis - Model LT3140
This unit will be the next generation of kiln controllers with its modern and intuitive user platform. But, because results are what counts, this one also includes the knowledge that is at the heart of every Bartlett controller. We design, manufacture and sell all of our controllers with our customers at the forefront of that process and we insist on procedures and systems to continue to be a reliable and consistent resource for artists. The control strategies that have produced so many successful firings with Bartlett controllers will only be enhanced by this new format of display and user interface.
The Genesis control will work with our Quiet Drive Solid State Relay System.

Rampmaster II
The Rampmaster II is custom made for Evenheat by Bartlett Instrument Company. Has improved the reliability, features and ease-of-use to make Bartlett Instrument Company's kiln controllers the most accepted on the market. With the Rampmaster II cone-fire method, you select 1 of the 4 firing speeds and your cone number and you're firing your ceramics with as few as 6 key presses! The vary-fire method gives you the freedom to create up to six, 8-step user programs to fire your ceramics, crystalline glazes, glass or jewelry. Other features include delay start, preheat, alarm, cone adjustments, thermocouple adjustments, °F or °C operation, 16 segment program, and skip step. Advanced features of the Rampmaster II include 3-zone control!

Rampmaster III
The Rampmaster is preferred by many for heat treating as it allows up to 12 custom user programs, numerical keypad and alarm features not found on our Set-Pro control.
The Rampmaster 3 is our traditional full featured control and features a 4 digit display. It offers two programming methods depending on your needs and experience: Custom Mode and Express Mode. Custom Mode is a programming method that allows you to define all aspects of the firing from temperature rates to set points and hold times. This programming style is perfect for heat treating and custom glass firing programs. Custom Mode offers full artistic control. Express Mode is a programming method designed exclusively for glass work and offers an easy, 3 step programming process. Simply key in your glass COE, firing style and firing speed to create the firing program. It's quick, it's easy and it's accurate.
The Rampmaster 3 control will work with our Quiet Drive Solid State Relay System.
