BASIC CONTROL OPERATION
CONE FIRE MODE
(SIMPLE AUTOMATIC FIRING)
In the
CONE FIRE mode, optimal firing patterns for each cone number have already been programmed into the
control
. Only three pieces of information need to be provided:
1) The cone number required for the type of ware being fired.
2) The desired firing speed.
3) The hold time, if one is desired. Hold time is optional and is not needed under most firing conditions.
If no hold time is desired enter zero. The display now reads IdLE and the control is ready to execute the
firing.
* IMPORTANT: THE ZEROES IN A PYROMETRIC CONE NUMBER ARE A NECESSARY PART OF THE NUM-
BER. OMITTING THESE ZEROES WILL RESULT IN A SERIOUS OVERFIRE.
( CONE O6 IS MUCH COLDER THAN CONE 6 !)
SETTING UP A CONE FIRE MODE PROGRAM:
1) Turn on the master power switch located below the control on the front of the kiln panel.
2) Press the CONE FIRE key; the display prompts you to enter a cone number. Use the 10 digit
key pad to select the appropriate cone number (be sure to include the zeroes), then press the ENTER key.
3)The display now prompts you for a speed. Press the appropriate speed key located below the
CONE FIRE key, then press the ENTER key.
4) The display now prompts you for a hold time (if needed). Use the 10 digit key pad to enter the desired
amount
of time, hours first (left of the decimal point), then minutes (right of the decimal point), then press the
ENTER
key. (see example below)
To set hold time of 1 hour and 25 minutes you would do the following steps:
Press 1
display shows 00.01
Press 2
display shows 00.12
Press 5
display shows 01.25
