Information: The ST216 operates by calculating the amount of energy required by the
kiln every 30 seconds (Installer adjustable). If for example 40% of full energy is
required to maintain a particular ramp rate or a particular soak temperature then the
ST216 will apply heating power to the kiln for 12 seconds every 30 seconds. The kiln
heating indicator will light for 12 seconds every 30 seconds. If the kiln has a contactor
then a loud click will be heard both when the kiln heating indicator lights up and when
it goes out. If full heating power is required then the kiln heating indicator will remain
lit. If full cooling is required the kiln heating indicator will remain off.
Program Linking
If linking to another program is required then
select Lon (Linking On) with the
▲ & ▼ keys.
The next push of the
► key will cause the
program number display to be increased by 1.
The display now prompts for ramp 1 data as
shown below.
Continue entering program data as required.
Terminate the linked program sequence with
LoFF.
Program linking is useful for complex firing such as crystal glazing where 2 or 3
programs might need to be linked. Program linking is also useful for firing thick
sections where a slow drying program can be run before the main firing program.
Programs will be run in order e.g. 1,2,3 or 17,18,19,20. Several linked sequenc-
es may be stored. Any number of programs (up to 80) may be linked together.
Note: the Program Linking feature is disabled by default. It can be enabled if
required by reference to the Installation Handbook (see pages 5 & 6).
