The
Roughneck Electrofusion Processor
is a reliable, easy-to-use, rugged tool designed to withstand
conditions found at construction sites around the world. With proper care, your processor will perform for
many years.
Here are some general guidelines that should be followed to extend the life of your processor and keep it in
warranty:
The
Roughneck Electrofusion Processor
is splash resistant,
NOT WATERPROOF
. It should be stored in a
clean, dry environment at a temperature between 0-140ºF.
DO NOT STORE THE PROCESSOR OUTSIDE.
DO NOT WASH THE PROCESSOR WITH A HOSE.
The enclosure is very durable and shock resistant; however, do not subject the processor to any unnecessary
shocks or stresses including but not limited to:
•
Tossing the processor into or out of a vehicle
•
Dropping the processor
•
Dragging the processor by the cables or leads
Subscribe to the recommended calibration service offered by JACKMAN FUSION EQUIPMENT (See page 14).
The
Roughneck Electrofusion Processor
will provide the proper outputs for a complete fusion based on the
inputs received from a scanned barcode (in Barcode Mode) or from the operator (in one of the other alternate
fusion modes).
Whenever possible, Barcode Mode should be used.
Always scan the fitting manufacturer
’s
barcode affixed directly to the fitting about to be fused. If this barcode
is missing or damaged to the point it cannot be scanned, use the barcode from an
identical
fitting made by the
same manufacturer.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE BARCODE FROM A SIMILAR FITTING BE USED.
Always verify that the voltage and time displayed on the LCD are the same as the values specified by the fitting
manufacturer. In many cases these values are printed on a tag affixed to the fitting, however, this is not
always true. Remember that manual temperature compensation may be required when fusing fittings in
Manual Mode.
When in doubt, always check the fusion information with data supplied by the fitting manufacturer.
FAILURE TO VERIFY THAT THE FUSION INFORMATION IS CORRECT BEFORE STARTING A FUSION COULD
RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, PERSONAL INJURY, AND/OR DEATH.
