Selecting a Firing Mode

From display, press once.

Press the key several times. You will see the following display messages:

SPd1:

Single-Speed 1 / 200°F/111°C rate per hour

SPd2:

Single-Speed 2 / 500°F/277°C rate per hour

SPd3:

Single-Speed 3 / 1000°F/555°C rate per hour

SPd4:

Single-Speed 4 / 1500°F/833°C rate per hour

SPd5:

Single-Speed 5 / Maximum rate

PrO1:

Ramp-Hold, Program 1

PrO2:

Ramp-Hold, Program 2

PrO3:

Ramp-Hold, Program 3

PrO4:

Ramp-Hold, Program 4

Note: Your controller may have more Ramp-Hold pro- grams than the 4 shown above.

When a kiln is heated too fast, it may over-shoot the tar- get temperature, especially in small kilns at lower tempera- tures. To avoid this, add an extra segment in a Ramp-Hold program to slow the firing. (See the next section.) The seg- ment with the slower rate should begin approximately 40° - 60° below the target temperature.

Single-Speed Programming Instructions

Note: Single-Speed firing is all you will ever need if you are only going to a temperature and holding.

To stop a firing before completion, press

. will appear, alternating with total firing time and kiln temperature.

Note: Do not be concerned if your kiln makes a clicking sound during firing. Kilns use relays to power the elements. The relays click each time their electrical contacts come together.

Note: The firing speed you select (see step 2 above) is a pre-programmed speed. The kiln’s ac- tual firing speed may be less, depending on the kiln model, available voltage, and density of the load you are firing.

When the kiln fires to completion, the controller will beep for 30 seconds. The display will show the follow- ing:
