Program Controller RT100D
1. Introduction
The controller RT100D is used for controlling of electrical kilns for ceramics
and glas fireing.
The RT100D is able to control exactly the temperature and temperature
rate in a fireing process. Nine fixed programs are helpful for using this con-
trol unit. This programs can be adjusted individually. With this fixed pro-
grams the base of adjustment is already done for you.
Programdatas and values can be checked every time and set into the pro-
gram memory.
The control unit will be delivered with a wall pocket. For programming work
you can move the controller out of this pocket and if programming is done
you can put it back into the pocket. This feature makes it very easy to han-
dle the control unit.
IMPORTANT: It is not allowed to put the control unit
on the top of the kiln during fireing.
Every control unit RT100D is tested and checked for 100% of quality in our
company .
All our control units have an overheating safety relay ,but if you use the
control units you should observe the fireing .
Do not fire the kiln without observing.
If you have any problems please have a look into the error list at the end of
this manual.
If you are not able to solve your problems by yourself, please contact your
sales department.

2. First Start
The control unit has a plug for the connection with the kiln. This plug is safe
against wrong connection and it fits only in one position.
At the buttom side of the RT100D you find the main switch, please switch control
unit on and wait for the display.( app. 3 sec.). Now you can read the kiln tempera-
ture on the display and you are able to program the control unit.
5.0 Error Messages
The control unit can check a lot of functions by itselfs. If the control unit may find any mistake, the kiln
will be switched off and the display shows a faulty number:
Display: F1
During the full power periode the controller checks the rise of the kiln temperature , it must be more
than 1°C in 20 Minutes. If the kiln is to slow the control unit shows F1.
causes:
- heating element is faulty or to old
- with 3 Phase Systems: on Phase is missing
- Thermocouple is short connected.
- door switch is not closed
Display: F2
Is the heating time in the full power periode longer than 18 hours the kiln will switched off and the
display shows F2.
causes:
- heating element is faulty or to old
- with 3 Phase Systems: on Phase is missing
Display: F3
If the measurement from the thermocouple is too high the controller shows F3.
causes:
- Thermocouple faulty
- wire to thermocouple faulty
Display: F4
If the measurement from the thermocouple is negative the controller shows F4.
causes:
- thermocouple wrong connected
- wire to thermocouple wrong connected
Display: F5 or F6
Internal System Error.
Display: F7
If the kiln temperature is higher than 20°C over the top temperature and takes this problem longer
than five minutes the control unit switch te kiln off and shows F7.

4.0 Use of Program Datas
A
fter you have pressed the start switch the control unit will start the program .
The first point of working is the delay time.After you have programmed the delay time
the controller wait till this time is zero. On the display you will see the value of the
delay time.
The control unit starts the fireing program as soon as the delay time reached zero.
This feature will be used if you like to start a kiln e.g. in the evening.
The fire-process beginns with the ramp time. The control unit calculats the right
heating power to bring the kiln slowly to the firtst set point during the ramp time. If the
ramp time reached zero the kiln will be fired with full power. If the kiln temperature
reached the top temperature the control unit soak during the soak time.
A
fter the soak time the controller switchs the kiln of and the kiln temperature will cool
down.

switch: start/stop
This adjustment that you have made will only used for the present fireing. If you like to store this datas
into the memory, please use the following way:
switch: set Prog
switch: start/stop
