Programming and Use Features
Initialization (Boot-Up)
When the Set-Pro is powered up it goes through an initialization process. Various data is displayed until the initialization is complete and the display reads
IdLE.
IdLE (Idle)
Idle simply means the Set-Pro is not running any firing programs at the moment.
Beginning and End of Process Alarm Feature
The Set-Pro contains special Process Alarm Features that alerts the user to when the Beginning of the final soak/hold temperature (process) is reached and
also when the End of the final soak/hold time (process) is reached.
These Beginning and End of process alarms are very useful for glass as this occurs directly before the annealing process and in metals heat treating as this
occurs directly before the quenching process. It’s important to know these points in the firing to react quickly to cool the glass or remove the metal for
quenching.
Once you have chosen which combination of process alarms you desire, your choice stays programmed for all remaining programs and use until you
decide to choose a different combination.
To choose your desired Beginning and End of Process Alarms combination:
1. Throw the power switch on the kiln control panel to the On position.
2. The Set-Pro begins its initialization process and the display will illuminate.
3. The Set-Pro will finish its initialization process and then display IdLE (Idle). Idle simply means the Set-Pro is at rest and is not running any
programs.
4. Press the Enter key one time to begin the Alarm setting process. The display will read GLAS, ALAr, bEAd, M-C, CEr or CUSt.
5. Use the Up or Down arrow keys to make the display read ALAr (Process Alarm) if it does not already.
6. Press the Enter key. The display will read either OFF, bEGn, End or botH. These choices allow you to decide at what point the Process Alarms
function. You can set them to both to be silent (off), have just the beginning of process alarm sound (bEGn), have just the end of process alarm
sound (End) or have both of them sound (botH).
From the standpoint of actual use, the End of Process Alarm is arguably the most valuable. If you’re firing glass or heat treating
metals, knowing when your glass has taken complete shape or when it’s time to quench your metal is important. Time and action are
important at the end of the final soak/hold and are crucial to the success of your fired material. The End of Process Alarm let’s you
know when this occurs and gives you the opportunity to react properly to your material. Take advantage of it!
OFF = Beginning of Process and End of Process Alarms are both Off and will not sound.
bEGn = Beginning of Process Alarm will sound, End of Process Alarm will not sound.
End = End of Process Alarm will sound, Beginning of Process alarm will not sound.
botH = Both the Beginning and End of Process Alarms will sound.
7. Use the Arrow keys to choose your desired process alarm setting. Press the Enter key to store your choice.
8. Press the Enter key. The display will read IdLE which stands for Idle. You Process Alarm choice is now programmed.
To silence any alarms simply press one of the arrow keys.
