This manual describes the use of the Set-Pro w/ Express Mode as it relates to using the Custom Mode for Heat Treating. For Set-Pro w/ Express Mode manuals relating to using the Metal Clay Express Mode, Glass Express Mode and Ceramic Express Mode please refer to the manuals disc included with your oven, visit our web site at www.evenheat-kiln.com...
17. Once all remaining segments have been programmed the display will read rEdI (Ready). 18. Press the Enter key to begin the heat treating process. The Set-Pro is now running your Custom heat treat program. When the process is complete the display alternates between CPLt and total process time. Press the Start/Stop key at this point will cause the display to briefly read StOP and then IdLE.
Down Arrow – REVIEW Used to select values when programming and allows for the Review program feature. See the Set-Pro Key Function Table on page 13, for more detailed key information. Page 4 of 17 Use your Smart-phone to scan this QR code to watch Set-Pro how-to Programming Videos!
Most heat treat programs are simple, 1 segment affairs that ramp up to temperature and hold that temperature for a period of time, then shut off. The Set-Pro does allow for heat treating applications that involve multiple firing steps.

14. Press the Enter key. The display will read HLd1 along with some number. The Set-Pro is asking for the amount of time you wish to hold at the set point temperature. HLd stands for Hold (a.k.a. soak or dwell) and the 1 means you’re programming the amount of time you want the temperature to stay at the segment 1 temperature once you reach it.
(in multi-segment programs). Adding Time to a Hold During a hold period it may be necessary to add just a little more time to the programmed hold time. The Set-Pro allows you to add time to a hold in 5 minute increments.
1. Throw the power switch on the kiln control panel to the On position. 2. The Set-Pro begins its initialization process and the display will illuminate. 3. The Set-Pro will finish its initialization process and then display IdLE (Idle). Idle simply means the Set-Pro is at rest and is not running any programs.
Selecting and Running a Custom Mode Program At some point you are likely to have set all 4 Custom Mode programs set to something you like and want to run again and again. The Set-Pro allows you to quickly select the program you desire.
Number of Segments The Set-Pro can control up to 8 segments per use or program. However, that doesn’t mean that you need to use all 8. If your program only needs 1 or 2 segments to operate, great, use only 1 or 2. When it comes time to choose just select the number of segments you need.
Programming and Use Features Continued from Previous Page Delay Start Feature The Set-Pro can delay the start of your firing for up to 100 hours. This feature becomes valuable when different electrical rates are charged at different times of the day.
Indicates the value being displayed is a time value. Dot Displayed to the Right of the 1’s Digit Indicates that a Celsius temperature is being displayed. If no dot is displayed the Set-Pro is displaying in Fahrenheit. Set-Pro Display Messages...
Set-Pro Error Messages The Set-Pro monitors each firing and compares performance to a set of standards. If the firing does not meet performance standards the Set-Pro automatically stops the firing and displays a corresponding Error Code describing the fault. These codes are identified and described below.
Heat Treat Data The following heat treat data has been provided to Evenheat by various sources. We suggest you view this data as a starting and reference point on which to build your heat treating experience. What works for these guys may or may not necessarily work for you.

154CM, CPM154, ATS34 All three of these, heat treat the same. After a full speed ramp up to temperature, they soak 45 minutes to an hour in the Evenheat Oven at 1950F degrees. Then they get placed – still in the foil – spine down – then flat - on a 1” aluminum plate. The second aluminum plate is placed on top and pressure is applied.

Heat treating has obvious hazards. Please wear safety glasses or face shield and decent gloves. The day will come when you drop a hot blade. Make sure the floor around your oven is free from combustibles and please resist the urge to catch the falling blade.

The thermocouple (temperature sensor) circuit is faulty. The thermocouple circuit is broken at some point, usually the thermocouple itself. The thermocouple circuit consists of the thermocouple, any connecting blocks and the thermocouple lead wire connecting to the Set-Pro. Circuit Protection Opens (“Blown” Breaker or Fuse) Circuit protection can open for various reasons.
