i.e. barcode wand or SMART Scanner™) from the protective sheath. Scan the
barcode from the fitting about to be fused. See page 36 for scanning techniques and suggestions.
Whenever possible, use the barcode label attached to the fitting about to be fused. If this is not possible, use
a barcode from an
identical
fitting made by the same manufacturer to ensure that the fusion parameters are
correct.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD A BARCODE FROM A SIMILAR FITTING BE USED.
NOTE:
If the scanning device is inoperative, see page 26 for details about how a fusion can be completed without
using a scanning device.
Once the barcode has been successfully scanned, the
Kerotest Electrofusion Processor
will display a screen
