Setup

Previous guides for automating the Arc Furnace have had the annoying side-effect of triggering the Activate-command every time the quantity of ore in the Import-slot changes. This would result in the activation-sound playing every time one ore was processed, or 50 times for a full stack. This setup triggers once for each stack that enters the Import-slot, making the process work just as if you pressed the button yourself.
