5. Operation and Configuration
T3 – Temperature increase rate Stage 3
This parameter defines for the third temperature level by how many degrees per minute the furnace heats
up.
Value range °C: 10 – 140 °C/min; Value range °F: 18 – 252 °F/min
T3 – Holding temperature Stage 3
The holding temperature for the third temperature level defines the temperature at which a firing process
is conducted.
Value range °C: 100 – 1200 °C; Value range °F: 212 – 2192 °F
H3 – Holding time Stage 3
The holding time for the third temperature level indicates how long an object is fired at the holding
temperature.
Value range: 00:00 – 60:00 (mm:ss)
Vacuum on Stage 3
The parameter defines the temperature at which the vacuum for the third temperature level is activated.
Value range °C: Off or 1 – 1200 °C; Value range °F: 0 or 34 – 2192 °F
Vacuum off Stage 3
The parameter defines the temperature at which the vacuum for the third temperature level is deactivated.
If V2
3
corresponds to the holding temperature, the vacuum is maintained during the entire holding time.
Value range °C: Off or 1 – 1200 °C; Value range °F: 0 or 34 – 2192 °F
HL – Holding time long-term cooling
The holding time for the first cooling stage indicates how long an object is fired at the long-term cooling
temperature.
Value range: 00:00 – 60:00 (mm:ss)
Long-term cooling
If long-term cooling Stage 2 is activated, the furnace cools to the set temperature (L2) at the end of the
holding time with the furnace head closed.
Value range °C: Off or 50 – 1200 °C; Value range °F: 0 or 122 – 2192 °F
Cooling rate 2
This parameter defines by how many degrees per minute the temperature for the long-term cooling
Stage 2 has to be decreased.
Value range °C: 1 – 50 °C/min; Value range °F: 2 – 90 °F/min
H2L – Holding time long-term cooling
The holding time for the second cooling stage indicates how long an object is fired at the long-term
cooling temperature Stage 2.
Value range: 00:00 – 60:00 (mm:ss)
