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.
Adding Time to a Hold During a hold period it’s sometimes 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. It’s a handy little feature that you should really get to know.
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 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 Custom 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.
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.

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.
