Introduction

1.4  Extension cords and pigtails 

Due to the high amperage draw of electrofusion fittings, the use 
of an extension cord is not encouraged. In the event such usage 
is necessary, the following lengths and wire gauges are 
recommended: 

Cord Length   Wire Gauge 

25 ft.  

 

# 10/3 (6 mm2) 

50 ft.  

# 8/3 (10 mm2) 

Extension cords should not be used on large couplers. 

A pigtail is an adapter for converting from a 30 amp twist-lock to 
a 15 amp straight blade plug. Its purpose is for powering the 
processor where a NEMA L5 socket is not available, especially 
while downloading. Its use is not recommended in field 
applications with electrofusion fittings over 63mm in diameter. 

1.5  START/STOP Card 

START / STOP card can be used as alternative to the buttons 
on the keypad. For instance, you can confirm the commands or 
start the welding process by scanning the START bar code on 
the card. 

The STOP barcode can be used instead to go back to the 
previuos step.
