Evaluating the silver wire
Start the Temperature calibration program by selecting “Temperature calibration” in
the Setup menu, and press Program Start (Section 7.6.2).
Fig. 4 illustrates how to evaluate the silver wire test specimen. Approach the correct
setting of the CCF in small steps of approximately two to three points (such as
1,004 auf 1,006). By increasing the CCF, you increase the firing temperature. By
reducing the CCF, you lower the firing temperature.
Observe the following procedure to change the CCF: Select "Temperature
calibration” in the Setup menu, and enter a new calibration factor (Section 7.6.2).
Minor corrections can be made instinctively. If there are very large or sudden
deviations from the original CCF, check for technical faults.

6.3 CHECK-PROGRAM
The AUSTROMAT D4 has an internal program that checks the function of
the major components (check program). Regularly using this non-editable program
makes it easier for you and the responsible service personnel to identify aged
components (such as heating element wear) and troubleshoot malfunctions (such
as vacuum leakage). After approximately 2000 firings, the device displays a
recommendation on the screen to start the self check program (duration: approx. 45
min). In the Setup menu, select the “Check program” function, and start the
program.
Start the check program only after running several firing programs, or after a
cleaning firing so that the oven is warmed up.
The results of the self-check are saved in a diagnosis file. In certain cases, the
AUSTROMAT D4 automatically notifies you upon starting a firing program if
diagnostic data indicate that a firing program will not run properly. This is the case
for example when the heating element is too old, and you want to reach a firing
temperature quickly.
