Hovering over the
info button
will bring up a text box describing the field next to it.
Joint Identifiers:
The joint identifier fields can be used to enter information about the joint that is to be heated. The joint identifiers can be customized for company
or work site requirements. Up to three joint Identifiers can be used to identify each joint being heated. The default setup uses
ISO
for the first joint
identifier and
Field Weld #
for the second joint identifier.
To change any of the three joint identifier names:
S
Select the field next to the
Joint Identifier (1, 2, or 3).
S
Type the custom name to use for that field. (20 characters maximum)
S
If a field is left blank, it will not be displayed on the
Joint Setup
screen.
When a setup file is created, the joint identifier 1 field is required to be entered. The joint Identifier 2 and joint Identifier 3 fields are not required, but
the user can choose to make these fields required. To make the joint Identifier 2 or 3 field required, click on the
[Required]
check box next to the
field.
Technician:
The Technician field can be used to enter the name of the person performing the heating. This field is not required to create a setup file. The user
can choose to make the technician field required. To make the technician field required, click the
[Required]
check box next to the field.
Minimum/Maximum Temperature:
The minimum and maximum temperature fields are used to enter the minimum and maximum temperatures that are required for the joint to be
heated. The minimum and maximum temperature values will limit the range in which an operator can manually adjust the target temperature.
These fields are not required to create a setup file. The user can choose to make the minimum and/or maximum field required. To make the
minimum and or maximum field required, click the
[Required]
check box next to the field.
Merge Temperature Files:
The merge temperature files feature allows a user to merge multiple temperature files into one file when using the temperature chart. This can be
useful when a joint is heated at different times which may have resulted in multiple heating data files. This feature is also useful when two
ArcReach Heaters are used to heat one joint. A temperature data file will be created by each of the ArcReach Heaters. The merge temperature
files feature will allow the user to combine these files from two heaters into one temperature file. To turn on this feature, select the box and to turn
it off, deselect the box.
