1. Open firing chamber and place sample carrier with silver wire centrally onto the firing
platform.
2. Start test program "Silver wire calibration" (#375).
3. If - after completion of the program - the silver wire has started to melt along its upper
third, that is, a bead has formed on the wire surface, then the temperature is correct
(with an accuracy of +/-2°C).
4. If the silver wire surface has not started to melt, then the firing chamber temperature
is too low. In this case, repeat the test program - each time with a temperature rise
rate of 3°C - until the required melting effect on the surface of the silver wire is
achieved.
5.
If the silver wire has melted altogether, then the firing chamber temperature is
too high. In this case, repeat test program - each time with a new length of
silver wire and a temperature reduction rate of 3°C each time - until the
required melt effect on the surface of the silver wire is achieved.
6. After you have found the correct temperature, touch the sensor “silver”. The corrected
temperature will be accepted as the new “Temperature offset”.
The correction of the firing chamber temperature is completed.
6.6 Night mode
This function switches the heating off automatically after firing is ended and the chamber
temperature drops to the night/standby temperature. The firing chamber closes automatically
after the night/standby temperature is reached. The night/standby temperature is held. This
function can be switched on or off for the program as desired by pressing the "Bed" sensor
button. The "Bed" symbol for night mode is displayed in the firing curve.
The system switches off the display after the firing is ended (“Bed” symbol disappears,
screen is black). Switch the furnace back on by pressing the "on/off" sensor button.
6.7 Pre select activation timer
(Configuration submenu Section 4.5.1)
This function can be preset to activate the furnace automatically at a specific time. The
function will be called up in the submenu "Configuration". The "Activate" and "Time" input
fields appear.
Activating the switch-on time
1. Press the sensor button "M".
2. Press the sensor button "Configuration".
3. Press the sensor button "Time"
4. Enter the time in 24 hour format 00:00 on the numeric keypad.
5. Sensor button "Activate" to "on"
6. Press the sensor button "M" frequently enough until the preceding program appears
again.
After the furnace is switched off using the "on/off" sensor button, it is switched on
again automatically at the pre-selected time.
Note: Due to safety reasons the pre select time frame is limited to 24 hours. The pre select
activation button is automatically reset to the status “off” after the function has been
executed.
