alarm, press any key except STOP. If the alarm goes off when

you first begin firing, it is because it was set for a lower tempera

ture than the present temperature.

AOP Auxiliary Output 10, 11, 13, 14, 18, 20

The AOP option is for kilns equipped with a special-order kiln

switch box receptacle called the Auxiliary Output.

bAdP Bad Programming 22

CAdJ Center Adjust 16

For two zone kilns only. This option adjusts the center section of

the kiln.

CFG Configuration Code 21

This is an option that shows the factory configuration code for

your Sentry. This is for technicians who call the factory for sup-

port.

CHG- Change EF/EC19

Choose between operation in degrees F or degrees C.

CONE Cone-Fire 10

The Sentry is ready for you to enter a cone number.

COOL Slow Cooling 10

In Cone-Fire programming, Slow Cooling is shown as COOL. To

program a slow cooling, enter the cooling rate in degrees per

hour. Leave the setting at 0 if you do not want a slow cooling.

CPLT Completed Firing 5, 10, 13

This means the firing completed as programmed.

DELA Delay 6, 10, 13

DELA is a timer that starts the kiln later. Delay time appears in

hours and minutes.

°F 1 or °C 1 Target Temperature 13

This prompt, which appears in Ramp-Hold programming, is ask

ing for a target temperature. The number is to remind you which

segment the temperature is for.

DIFF Temperature Difference 16, 21

This option shows the maximum temperature spread between

zones in a multiple zone kiln.

ELEC Electronics Temperature 20

The Sentry circuit board is rated for operation at temperatures up

to 158EF/70EC. When the circuit board gets hotter, the Sentry

shuts off. The ELEC option tells you how hot the circuit board is.

ETH Electronics Too Hot 22

The temperature rise is less than 27E F/15EC per hour and the fir-

ing time is four hours longer than the current segment was pro-

grammed.

FULL Full Speed 13

The rate, or temperature change per hour, is maximum.

Hd 1 Temperature Hold 13, 14

When this message appears during Ramp-Hold programming, it

is asking you if you want to hold, or maintain, the target tempera

ture of that segment. If so, enter the length of hold time in hours

Hd is the segment number. Each segment in a Ramp-Hold firing

is numbered, starting with 1.

HOLd Temperature Hold 10

When this message appears during Cone-Fire programming, it

is asking you if you want to hold, or maintain, the cone tempera

ture at the end of the firing. If so, enter the length of hold time in

hours and minutes (i.e. 1 hour 20 minutes = 01.20). When HOLd

appears in program review, it is showing how much hold time

has been entered.
