If no buttons are pressed for 1 full minute during programming, the controller will
automatically exit the program mode and return to the
IdLE
display. During a firing, if
the options menu is activated for programming, the controller will return to the active
display if no buttons are pressed for 1 full minute.
Delay Start Option
Prior to the active start of any firing, the controller display will show a Start prompt of
Strt
. This appears after the firing program selection and programming. If a delay start
time is desired, press the Decrease/Review button to activate a delay start prompt. The
display will show
dELA
alternating with the adjustable delay time in Hours & Minutes
format. Use the Increase/Decrease buttons to set the Delay time and then press the
Program button to return to the
Strt
prompt. When you are ready to begin the delay
period, press the Program button again.
Delay time counts-down on the controller display before the actual start of the firing.
When the delay time expires, the actual firing program begins automatically. The Delay
time has a setting range of 00.00 (no delay) to 99.59 (99 hours. 59Minutes)
An active delay time can be canceled by pressing the Program/Start button any time
during the delay count-down to begin the actual firing.
Thermocouple Offset Option
Thermocouple Offset allows you to correct the temperature display a few degrees in a
positive or negative direction. This can improve the controller accuracy if the
thermocouple probe is aged or if the firing results appear to be slightly under or over
fired. This offset allows you to make minor adjustments to the firing temperatures
without changing the programmed heating or cooling temperatures.
Prior to the active start of any firing, the controller display will show a Start prompt of
Strt
. This appears after the firing program selection and programming. If a
thermocouple offset is desired, press the Increase/Skip button to activate a
thermocouple offset prompt. The display will show
tCOS
alternating with the adjustable
offset value. Use the Increase/Decrease buttons to set the Offset and then press the
Program button when you are ready to return to the
Strt
prompt.
Thermocouple offset (
tCOS
) has a limited offset range of +/-20°F (+/-11°C). A positive
correction will increase the controller display temperature by the amount selected. This
will make the firing temperatures lower. A negative correction will decrease the
controller display temperature by the amount selected, making the firing temperatures
higher.
Program Review
Any time during an active firing, the Program Review feature can be activated to show
you the complete firing schedule on the controller display. Press the Decrease button to
activate the Program Review. Each segment of your firing schedule will scroll
automatically on the display for a few seconds each. To cancel the Review in process,
simply press any button.
Program Review can also be activated when the controller is
IdLE
or during program
selection. After this type of Program Review, the controller advances directly to the
Strt
