Programming a Kiln

08/24/10 - Programming a Kiln - So, you have purchased a new kiln and are beginning to wonder just how you program the unit. Before you do anything, get to know your kiln and how it fires. This can be done by taking notes of what has transpired at various temperature.

To begin entering your information into the unit, you should first write down your information. This will assist you in placing the correct numbers in the required information.

The first thing it will ask you is how many segments are in this firing. You can determine this by how many steps you have written down.

Now it will go on to each step of the firing. In the first section determine the temperature of your ramp temperature. This is basically how fast you want the kiln to heat up per hour.

Next will come the goal temperature. This is the set temperature you want to reach before the kiln goes on to the next step.

The last information for that step would be whether or not you want to hold the temperature and if so for how long.
