2. VARY-FIRE
The V6-CF has 6 vary-fire user programs to store and reuse. Each program has from 1 to 8 segments (2 – 16 segments if 16-S
option is on). Each segment has a firing rate, a soak temperature, and a hold time. It is best to write out the firing profile that
you plan to program before you begin programming. To ramp at the maximum rate either up or down, enter a rate of 9999. To
program a down ramp, you enter the rate/hour then a temperature below the previous segment temperature.
NOTE: The first ramp rate of any user program must be an increasing ramp which means the segment temperature
must be greater than the starting kiln temperature.
The following example is a two segment program stored in memory location “user 1”.
Segment
Rate °F/hour
Temperature Hold
1 100 200 0
2 500 1575 0
NOTE: At the end of the Operation Manual there is a blank form for writing your firing programs. Photo-copy as needed.
