The microprocessor controller TC507 allows an exact
and reproduceable control of your kiln. The course of
a firing is shown in a figure which is seperated in up
to 100 segments. One segment always consists of a
ramp (i.e. heat up or cooling) to a certain temperature
followed by a dwell at this temperature. Example:
For each segment the following values have to be
entered:
Temperature increase (or decrease). Can be entered
either in degrees centigrade per hour (e.g. 250°C/h) or
as time (e.g. 2:00 h). For uncontrolled hearing resp.
cooling the value „skip“ is entered.
Final Temperature of the ramp (e.g. 500°C). The ramp
ends at this temperature.
Dwell time at this temperature (e.g. 20 min). The
temperature is held for the time entered.
