Altering a program
The controller settings can be reviewed by pressing the ► key.
The first push of the ► key flashes the program
number display. The required firing program
can now be selected with the ▲ & ▼ keys.
Note: holding down the ▲ or ▼ keys causes rapid change of the displayed value.
The next push of the ► key displays the ramp
rate in the range End, 1
-
999°/HR or FULL.
This can be altered with the ▲ & ▼ keys. The
heating ramp or the cooling ramp indicator on
the mimic panel will flash. End marks the end
of the program. FULL heats or cools as fast
as possible.
The next push of the ► key displays the soak
temperature. This can be altered with the ▲
& ▼ keys. The soak temperature indicator
on the mimic panel will flash.
The next push of the ► key displays the soak
period in hours:minutes. This can be altered
in the range 00:00 to 99:59 with the ▲ & ▼
keys. The soak period indicator on the mimic
panel will flash.
The next push of the ► key increments the segment number digit and
firing data for the next segment can be entered.
Program data entry is terminated if End is
selected for a ramp rate with the ▼ key.
Program data entry is also automatically ter-
minated if the maximum number of segments
have been entered.
Note 2: to exit programming without cycling through all of the above steps wait 20 seconds without pressing any
keys
-
the KCR32C will revert to the idle display. Alternatively press the
►
key to exit programming and to begin
firing immediately.
Note 3: the ◄ key can be used to reverse through the programming steps to correct errors or to exit programming
mode.
Note 1: available ramp rate displays are: End, 1 … 999 & FULL. If End is shown but another segment is required
then push the ▲ key to obtain the required ramp rate (in the range 1°/hr to 999°/hr). If maximum heating/cooling is
required then push the ▲ key until FULL is displayed. To mark the end of the program push the▼ key until End is
displayed
