Orton AutoFire® 3-Button Remote Controller (AF4X)

Are you tired of constantly monitoring your kiln? Wish you could enjoy the convenience of digital controls without buying a new kiln? Now you can!

With our REMOTE system, you can effortlessly convert your manual kiln into a digital one. Simply plug your kiln into the controller, connect the controller to the wall, and place the included thermocouple through a hole in the kiln to read the temperature.

This controller comes preloaded with firing schedules for glass, PMC, and cone firings, plus 25 programmable user settings to fit your specific needs.

✔ Selecting Your Remote: Choose the correct amperage, voltage, and receptacle (NEMA number) from the dropdown above.

✔ If unsure, do not order. Instead, email a photo of your kiln to jenkenkilns@gmail.com or call us at (863) 648-0585 during business hours (Tuesday–Friday, 8 AM–4 PM).

✔ Your kiln’s amperage must be lower than the controller’s amperage.

✔ Not compatible with auto turn-up devices—works only with manual kilns that require hand adjustments.

✔ We offer special order remotes to fit unique needs.

📌 Note: Remotes are made to order and subject to a 20% restocking fee if returned. Most Remotes use Mechanical Relays.

If you’d like us to customize your preprograms to suit your studio’s specific needs, just give us a call!
