Energy Used Display 

Pressing the 

§

 button at any time shows the amount of electrical energy used 

in kW hours.  If pressed during a firing it shows the energy used so far.  After 
a firing it shows the total energy used for that firing.  This information is 
stored while power is off and is only reset to zero when a new firing is 
started. 
 
If the value displayed is always 

0

.

0

 then the kiln power rating has not been

The keys on the ST312A can be locked so that pressing them has no effect.  
This is an anti-tamper feature used to ensure that the operation of the 
ST312A or the program data cannot be altered by un-authorised people.  
The ST312A can be locked when it is idle (not firing) or while it is firing.  It 
cannot be locked while it is being programmed. 

If the left-hand decimal point in the dis-
play is lit then the ST312A is locked.

Power Failure Recovery 

If power fails during firing then the ST312A recovers as follows:- 
For power failure during start delay the ST312A commences firing immedi-
ately when power returns.  For power failure during ramp 1 or ramp 2 the 
ST312A goes back into the ramp it was previously executing.  For power 
failure during soaking the ST312A ramps back up to soak temperature at 
ramp rate 2 then applies the remaining soak period.  This recovery scheme 
can be disabled if required (see installation handbook) - the ST312A will 
then lock up with 

FAIL

 displayed and kiln off in the event of power failure.
