RAMP & HOLD PROGRAMING (PRO MODE)
A D V A N C E D
With PRO Mode you can design and run Ramp and Hold programs that meet the specific needs of your glass. You can program up to 8 segments and store up to 5 programs. For more information regarding defining and designing Ramp and Hold Programs consult the Glass 101 section of this manual.
STEP 1 - SET CONTROLLER TO ADVANCED LEVEL
The Controller ships from the factory set at the beginning level. To unlock the advanced level from IDLE STATE press 
and hold it down until you hear a beep (around 4 seconds).
STEP 2 - START IN IDLE STATE
To start programming the kiln must be in IDLE STATE. This can be verified by the dis- play alternating between the current temperature reading and the message IdLE. When the kiln is first plugged in it will read “PF” indicating that there was a power interrup- tion.
To return to IDLE Mode Press 
STEP 3 - SELECT FIRING MODE
To Display Current Firing Mode Press 
The display will read either “AUTO” or “PRO”. If the display reads “PRO” it is cur- rently set in the Programmable Mode.
Press 
to select this mode..
If the display reads “AUTO” it is currently set in the Glass Fire Mode. Press 
or 
to scroll to “PRO”.
Press 
to select this mode..
STEP 4 - SELECT WHERE TO STORE YOUR CUSTOM PROGRAM
The display should be flashing “PRO” alternately with the number of the custom pro- gram currently loaded. Press 
or 
to select a number between 1 and 4 to store
your new custom program. Be careful not to select a program number that has a program you do not wish to overwrite. You may also choose to use segment 5 how- ever be aware that you will be overwriting a factory program developed for cast- ing.
Press 
to select the program number.
