A program in progress can be paused by pressing the STOP key
once. If a program has been paused, the green LED in the START key
flashes. Furthermore, the status shows as „Pause“. By pressing STOP
a second time, the program can be aborted. It can be resumed by
pressing START.
Note
If the sintering program has been aborted, the
furnace head can be only opened once the
temperature has dropped below 600 °C/1112 °F.
6.5.3 Individual program write protection
For standard programs, the individual program write protection
is activated by default to prevent accidental changes of the
parameters.
The individual program write protection (symbol) can be changed for
each program via Settings – Programming using the -/+ keys.

Changes are saved by pressing the save (disk symbol) or ESC key.
This will also close the keyboard screen.
This key enables switching to
lower case letters, numbers/
symbols and back to capital
letters.

list contains all the program parameters. The desired parameter is
selected with the cursor keys. The value is adjusted using the
-/+keys. This screen can be left by pressing ESC or one of the
program keys.
The parameters for heating and cooling stages are located in a
separate program stage screen. Please refer to „Operation and
configuration“ for explanations of the parameters.
