To avoid a firing process locking itself because of lack
of kiln power in a ramp an automatic continuation is
performed.
By using the function „hold!“ you can also manually
release the ramp „hold“ (press shift+9, see below).
On uncontrolled ramps the TC507 stays in the segment
until the final temperature is reached. On multizone
kilns the TC507 waits for all zones. To avoid the
process locking itself because of heat-shift between
the zones, there is a complex algorithm which realizes
this situation and causes a step to the next segment.
On severe errors (like a broken sensor etc.) the TC507
interrupts the process and shows an error message.
The TC507 provides you with the feature of directly
controlling the process flow. This feature is highly
appreciated by users of glass processing applications.
Assume that during a firing you want to skip imme-
diately to the next segment (or to the dwell if you are
in the ramp of a segment).
Press key (10) followed by the digit key „8“ (skip!).
The TC507 now enters the next section immediately.
Assume that during a firing you want to hold the
process for a while, ie. to hold the temperature (in
controlled ramps - not on SKIP) or the time (in a
dwell).
Press key (10) followed by the digit key „9“ (hold !).
Display (13) shows flashing „hold“ and the firing
process is held until the key 10 followd by key „9“ is
pressed again.
