NOTES FOR CUSTOM PROGRAMMING:
1. A firing will start in the earliest segment
that has a soak temperature greater than
the current kiln temperature. If the current
kiln temperature is above all soak
temperatures, the controller will go directly
to complete.!
2. To ramp up or down at the maximum rate,
enter a rate of 9999.!
3. To program a down ramp, enter the rate/
hour then a temperature below the
previous segment’s temperature.!
4. It is best to write out the firing profile that
you plan to program before you begin programming. A blank form for writing your firing
programs can be found in Appendix C: Blank Firing Program. Photo-copy as needed.!
Calculating Ramp Rates for Custom Firing!
If you want to go from room temperature to 750°F in 3 hours, use this method to calculate
the ramp rate. Take the temperature that you want to go to (750°F) minus the starting
temperature (70°F – approximate room temperature) to get the number of degrees you want to
increase in 3 hours (750 – 70 = 680). Divide this number by the time you want to get to 750 to
give you the ramp rate (680°F ÷ 3 hrs = 227°F/hr). If you want to add another segment to go
from 750°F to 1000°F in 4 hours, the same procedure is used. Take the end temperature minus
the starting temperature (1000 – 750 = 250) and divide this number by the number of hours to
reach 1000°F (250°F ÷ 4 hrs = 63°F/hr).!
Firing Review Screen
After you have completed
programming you will see a
firing review screen. There are
three actions you can take from
this screen: !
1. Start - Start the first
segment of the firing,
immediately!
2. Schedule - View each
individual segment for the
program!
3. Graph - View graph of
program or copy to a
custom program slot
