KILNMASTER MENU ADDENDUM

16 Segment Programming

This feature allows you to attach two stored programs together to make, up to, a 16 segment

program. The first stored program would contain the first 1 to 8 segments of the program and the

second stored program would contain the second 1 to 8 segments.

When the 16 segment feature is toggled “ON”, the controller links programs #5 and #6. Now

when you run program # 5, it will automatically run program # 6 to continue the firing after pro-

gram #5 has completed. Due to requirements of the software the first segment of the Program 6

must be increasing in temperature by a minimum of 5 •F.

Here is how to use this feature:

Enter a 1 to 8 Segment Ramp and Hold Program in USER #5
Enter a 1 to 8 Segment Ramp and Hold Program in stored program slot #6
Press RAMP-HOLD
Press 5
Press ENTER
Press STOP
Press MENU, 7, 8 (Screen will display “16-S” alternately with “OFF”)
Press 1 (Screen will display “16-S” alternately with “ON”)
Press ENTER
Press REVIEW
Press START

Important: Program #5 must be cued prior to toggling the feature “ON”. Once both pro-

grams have run, the controller automatically toggles “OFF” the 16 segment feature.

Controlled Cooling in Cone Fire Mode

Crystal Glaze and Slow Cooling programs have become quite popular. In order to run these

firing programs it was once necessary to write the entire program in Ramp and Hold Mode

and therefore lose the benefit of Cone Correlation in the Cone Fire Mode. Cone Correlation is

a unique feature of the Cone Fire Mode that adjusts the peak temperature of the firing program

based on the kilns actual performance to ensure the proper heat work.

This new feature allows you to write a cooling program in the #6 stored program slot and

attach it to any Cone Fire Mode Program. When the 16 Segment feature is toggled on the control-

ler will run the Cone Fire Mode Program and then the Ramp and Hold cooling program stored in

program slot #6.

Again, due to requirements of the software the first segment of the Program 6 must be in-

creasing in temperature by a minimum of 5 •F. Since the final temperature can vary with Cone

Fire Mode, the computer overrides this first segment to fulfill that requirement. Therefore, the

first segment you input will not be used. You still must enter data in segment 1 but the program

will begin with segment 2.
