The LED indicator for symbols 1.1, 1.2, 2 and 3 shows the part of the selected
segment that is currently being edited.
An ST 630 fi ring segment comprises a ramp (heating ramp or cooling ramp) and
segment temperature followed by a soak period. Two segments can be used for
simple fi ring (biscuit fi ring for example) or several segments can be used per program
for complex fi ring processes (crystal glazing or glass-making for example).
The controller ramps the kiln temperature at the set ramp rate until the kiln reaches
the soak / target temperature. It then soaks (dwells) at the soak temperature for the
soak period. It then runs the next segment until the end of the program is reached.
The ST 630 is capable of both positive (heating) ramps and negative (cooling) ramps.
The type of ramp is clearly shown on the mimic display during fi ring.
The ramp rate is settable in the range 0.1°C to 999°C / hour or FULL (full power) or
END (end of program).
The soak / target temperature is settable over the range 0 to 1320°C (2408°F).
The soak period is settable over the range 00:00 (no soak) to 99 hours 59 mins.
Note: During soaking the controller display alternates every 15 seconds
between kiln temperature and soak period remaining.
