Procedure for fan operation in firing mode:
Description of the process
The fan cooling system is switched off before and during the firing operation.
The cooling system switches on after firing, during the cooling phase when the kiln
reaches the specified start temperature.
The cooling system remains switched on until the switch-off temperature has been
reached.
If the switch-off temperature is reached, the cooling system is switched off.
The cooling system remains switched off.
Note:
The switch output (Event) key has no function during operation of the fan cooling system.
6.6. Firing
6.6.1. General operation
The firing process starts by pressing the j key and is indicated by the “Program running” indicator for the duration.
⇒ The firing process can be ended at any time by pressing the
j key again which makes the “Program running”
indicator go out.
⇒ The firing process can be restarted by pressing the
j key. When you restart, the firing program starts again from the
beginning.
⇒ After a restart, you can use the program advance function (see Section 6.6.4.) to skip the individual steps in the
program until you are back at the correct segment.
Note 1:
• Press the j key to start the firing process - it is recommended that you first check the program numbers and values
with the
g key.
• It is also a good idea to have a written record of the contents of the firing programs kept and displayed near the kiln
especially if there is more than one user of the kiln.
Note 2:
• Note: during ramping the controller will perform either controlled heating or controlled cooling – as indicated on the
graphical display.
• During soaking the controller display alternates every 15 seconds between kiln temperature and soak period
remaining.
• At the end of each segment, the segment number indicator is incremented.
