Preheat Example:
Set a preheat time of 2 hours. Remember: the temperature must be flashing to start the
programming.

16-S ( 16 segment program )
This option allows vary-fire programs 5 and 6 to be combined into a 16 segment
program. It only shows in the menu when user 5 is programmed and selected. When using this option user 5
and 6 programs can have 1 to 8 segments. First, program user 5 then user 6. Next, recall user 5 and then use the
Other key to display “16-S”. Press ENTER to accept the option. Press “1” until the display shows"On". Press
ENTER to activate the 16 segment option. Press Start and the controller will fire user 5 then it will fire user 6.
NOTE: The first segment of user 6 must be an up ramp or the segment will be skipped.
CnoS (Cone Offset) -
Used to raise or lower the final cone temperature. The final cone temperature can be raised or
lowered a maximum of 50
°
F (28
°
C).
When entering the offset temperature the following convention is used: the left two digits designate whether
to raise (00) or lower (90) the cone temperature, that is, “00” means plus (+) and “90” means minus (-). The
right two digits are the number of degrees the cone temperature will be raised or lowered.
Examples:
Number
Meaning
0020
Raise the final cone temperature by 20
°
F increases heat work
0040
Raise the final cone temperature by 40
°
F increases heat work
0015
Raise the final cone temperature by 15
°
F increases heat work
9030
Lower the final cone temperature by 30
°
F decreases heat work
9005
Lower the final cone temperature by 5
°
F decreases heat work
9045
Lower the final cone temperature by 45
°
F decreases heat work
The following apply to cone offsets:
The final temperature is affected only for the cone number that you change and no other cone numbers.
The cone offset will remain for that specific cone number until it is changed again.
Typing 00 (before the desired offset temperature) will raise the final temperature and INCREASE the amount of heat
work.
Typing 90 (before the desired offset temperature) will lower the final temperature and DECREASE the amount of
heat work.
The maximum number of degrees that can be raised or lowered is 50
°
F (28
°
C)
Cone offsets do not affect the VARY-FIRE mode.
Cone Offset Example:
Adjust cone 07 to shut off the kiln at 20
°
F below Orton’s prescribed cone temperature.
