Features
Kerotest Electrofusion Processors
are reliable, easy-to-use, rugged tools designed to withstand conditions
found at typical construction sites throughout the world.
Kerotest Electrofusion Processors
are splash proof and highly shock resistant.
Kerotest Electrofusion Processors
can fuse all manufacturers’ fittings requiring o
utputs that are within the
voltage and current values listed in the
Specifications Table
on page 8.
Kerotest Electrofusion Processors
operate most efficiently and reliably in the Barcode Fusion Mode; however,
they can be operated in Alternate Fusion Modes.
The Barcode Fusion Method is always preferred and should
be used whenever possible.
Kerotest Electrofusion Processors
have an intuitive user interface that is easy to learn.
Kerotest Electrofusion Processors
are equipped with internal memory for data storage and can be
downloaded to determine installation conditions and fusion cycle status.
Kerotest Electrofusion Processors
are capable of scanning and recording both ASTM F2897-11 and ISO 12176-
4 Traceability barcodes.
Shannon Electrofusion Processors
can be operated from any AC power source meeting the input power
requirements listed in the
Specifications Table
on page 8.
The
Portafuse III Electrofusion Processor
is powered by a 48 volt 9ah lead acid battery pack and is capable of
fusing all fittings with a current requirement of 35 amps or less.
