14. KILN OPERATION DURING A
CUSTOM FIRING PROGRAM
14.1 DESCRIPTION
1. At the start of a firing, the controller sets its moving set-
point to the current temperature in the kiln.
2. The moving set-point is where the controller wants the
kiln temperature to be.
3. The controller will then move the moving set-point up at
the programmed rate, and cycle power to the elements
to make the temperature of the kiln follow the moving
set-point.
4. You will hear the relays clicking to regulate the kiln
temperature.
5. The elements will receive power when the temperature
is below the moving set-point.
6. The relays will click off when the temperature is above
the moving set-point.
7. The current segment and moving set-point can be
viewed by pressing the
UP
arrow during a firing.
8. The control can not make the kiln go any faster than
it is capable of so there may be a lag between what
the control wants to do and what the kiln can do. This
is normal and is only of concern if the kiln starts firing
slower than it normally has done in the past.
14.2 OPTIONS DURING FIRING

ACCESSING THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS
1. During a firing, you may advance from the current
segment to the next ramp rate by using Skip Step

and temperature (
tMP)
to the hold
period.
2. When the
UP
button is pressed during a firing, the
current ramp or hold is displayed, followed by the
current or moving set-point, then
SStP
is displayed.
3. If you do not press a button within several seconds, the
display will return to showing the current temperature
in the kiln.
14.2.2 SKIP STEP
1. This option allows you to skip from the present segment
to the next ramp rate.
2. Press the
UP
button, the display will show the current
segment, then the set-point, then

ENTER
to skip to the
