FIRING PARAMETERS
♦
PRE-DRYING TEMPERATURE : 0 to 1000°c
At the end of a cycle, the temperature drops to 300°c.
After placing the porcelain work-piece on the platform, the operator starts the next
cycle. The temperature then rises from 300°c to the programmed “pre-drying
temperature”. The platform only lifts once the “pre-drying” temperature has been
reached. That temperature is maintained constant during the entire platform lift time.
PLATFORM LIFT TIME : 0 TO 30 min
The platform lift time is divided into six stages. The platform only lifts once the pre-
drying temperature has been reached. While the platform is lifting, you can switch to
the Pause mode. In that case, the platform is under manual control, with the time
reading indicated on time display
9
.
INTERNAL PRE-DRYING : 0 to 30 min
When the platform is closed, the temperature is maintained constant at the “pre-drying
temperature” value for a period of time that can be programmed from 0 to 30 min. the
temperature will only rise once that time has elapsed.
HEATING RATE : 0 to 200°c/min
The temperature rises at a precisely linear rate throughout the entire firing cycle. The
heating rate may be programmed in increments of one degree Celsius. A commonly
used rate is 55°c/min.
The heating rate is maintained constant even in the event of mains voltage fluctuations
( within a tolerance of
±
20 volts ).
