The preset metal clay programs can be edited. Each program segment can be changed by the
operator. To restore the factory values, enter a zero value for the first
rA1 segment of each
program and press the Program button.
In addition to the metal clay preset programs, the CLA mode provides 4 User defined programs
for custom firing schedules. Each user defined program can be up to 8 steps. The User
programs are:
Program Rate Temp Hold ___
PrO1 Undefined Undefined Undefined
PrO2 Undefined Undefined Undefined
PrO3 Undefined Undefined Undefined
PrO4 Undefined Undefined Undefined
User Program Mode
The USr mode provides 6 User Programs for creating custom firing schedules. You can
store/save up to 6 separate custom firing programs in the controller memory. Each
program can be up to 8 Steps long. During programming the display prompts for the
individual firing schedules are
PrO1, PrO2 , PrO3 , PrO4, PrO5 and PrO6 .
Programming Heating and Cooling Rate
Each step of a firing program must have a programmed Rate of temperature increase or
decrease. This is the speed of the heat-up or cool-down. These rate values are selected
as Degrees per Hour. ‘Degrees per hour’ rate can be determined by dividing the total
amount of temperature change by the number of hours required to achieve the
temperature change. For Example, If you want to heat the kiln to 900°F from room
temperature (72°F) in 2 hours time. The heating rate would be 414 Degrees/hour. [900-
72 = 828, 828/2 = 414]
During programming the display prompts for all Rate settings is
rA followed by the step number like rA 1 , rA 2 , rA 3, etc…
The values available for setting Rate are 0-1798°F/hour or 0-998°C/hour. If it’s desired
to heat or cool as fast as possible, an alternative setting is available at the beginning or
end of the temperature range. This setting appears as
FULL on the controller display.
Entering Zero for a heating or cooling rate
The controller determines where your firing program ends by the rA value. If zero is set
for any Rate, this tells the controller that there are no more steps to your firing schedule.
If additional steps had previously been saved in the active program, all steps after the
zero entry will be erased. This feature can also be used to erase an entire firing
program by setting the first
rA 1 value to zero.
