Program Pause Facility
WARNING - PROGRAM PAUSE
The program pause facility should be used with care. Program execution is suspended
and the kiln will be held at its current temperature. If left too long at high temperatures
kiln damage could result. Pause will automatically release after an Installer-defined
period (default: 2 hours - see Installation Handbook).
Adjusting While Firing
Firing values can be adjusted while the ST216 is firing. Also there are pro-
gram pause and program advance features that are particularly useful for
glass work.
Adjusting Firing Values
While firing operate the
► key to select the required parameter as shown by
a flashing lamp on the mimic display. The firing value is shown on the main
display and can now be adjusted with the
▲ & ▼ keys in the usual way. The
contents of the current program can be changed. Firing will still carry on as
normal while these changes are being made. The ST216 will return to its
normal running display 20 seconds after key presses cease (or immediately
after End is displayed).
Changes made to programs in this way are stored and are used for
subsequent firings.
Program Advance Facility
While firing press and hold down the
▲ key for 3 seconds to obtain the
8
(advance) function. The ST216 will sound a short beep and the executing pro-
gram will immediately advance one step as indicated by lamps on the mimic pan-
el. The effect of this is as follows:-
If ramping towards t1 then the ST216 will switch to ramp 2.
If ramping towards the soak temperature then the ST216 will enter soak at the
current temperature.
If soaking then the soak will be terminated
Changes made to the operation of the ST216 in this way are temporary and are
not stored.
While firing press and hold down the
▼ key to obtain the
װ
(pause) function. The
ST216 will sound a short beep and the executing program will pause at the cur-
rent kiln temperature. To release the pause repeat the above action.
While paused, the kiln temperature display will
alternate periodically with a scrolling PAUSEd
display and a beep will be sounded.
