Mitsco TC3300/2 10 Program 4 Segment Kiln Controller

Simple to accuracy and flexibility are key functions of the 3300, satisfying most processes that require a series of regulated controlled temperature ramps and timed controlled sequences.

Powerful Programming use the 3300 range of Kiln controllers has been developed to provide accurate programming of complex firing processes in a simple user-friendly design.

Flexibility is the key to the design and use of the 3300-program controller. The operator just selects or by-passes the ramp or dwell and then selects the next segment in the sequence to daisy chain the required number of ramps and dwells until the desired control program is created.

Controller Terminology:

Delay start: A period of time to elapse before controller starts a firing, for example, in order to make use of off-peak power.
Heating/Cooling Ramp: The rate of heating up or cooling down, usually expressed in number of degrees per hour, e.g. 150°C per hour. A Kiln firing to 600°C at 150°C per hour would take 4 hours.
Set Point: Also called "Target temperature". The temperature at which the controller changes the ramp rate, starts to soak, or switches off. For example, a program might fire at 100°C per hour to the first set point of 600°C then fire at 250°C per hour to top temperature of 1120°C.
Soak or Dwell: The period of time that the kiln is held at a temperature in order to smooth out glazes or even out temperature in the kiln. Typically, 15 to 20 minutes.
Segment: One part of the program, usually consisting of a ramp, a target temperature, and a soak.
Event Relay: Output from a controller to operate an automatic damper, opening and closing it during the firing.
