12. Fusing Adjustment Parameter
Why do you need fusing adjustments?
The Program Level Fusing Adjust is useful for making
minor adjustments to a single, specific Program without
altering the original Program design.
The Special Functions High/Low Fusing Adjustments
features are useful for matching the firing characteristics
of two furnaces so that they fire identically, no matter
which furnace you use.
Upon initial Program Addition, you will want to use the
original Program parameters as directed, until your
experience suggests a specific Program adjustment is
indicated.
Select either
UNDERFIRES OR OVERFIRES
by rotating
the
Selector Knob
, then push the
Selector Knob
OR
press the
Next
button and leave the default value of 0
Degrees, push the
Selector Knob
OR press the
Next
button again. You can come back later and Edit the
Program level Fusing Adjust parameter.

have selected it in the Special Functions section
under Calibration (see page 17 of instructions). The
press rod remains extended during this period with
no pause between the amount of time selected in
the parameters and the additional four (4) minutes
of the re-press.
NOTE: THE PRESS ROD STAYS EXTENDED DURING AND
BETWEEN BOTH THE INITIAL AND RE-PRESS TIMES.

TEMPERATURE PARAMETER IN THE PROGRAM. THE PROGRAM
LEVEL FUSE ADJUST PARAMETER ADJUSTS THE HOLD

WHERAS THE SPECIAL FUNCTIONS/ HIGH FUSING ADJUST
AFFECTS ALL PROGRAMS WITH A HOLD TEMPERATURE
>800° C (1472° F) AND THE SPECIAL FUNCTIONS/LOW FUSING
ADJUST AFFECTS ALL PROGRAMS <800° C (1472° F).
