ELECTROFUSION PROCESSOR OPERATORS MANUAL - REV 0
Page 17 of 48
Manual Mode
FOR EXPERT OPERATORS ONLY!
Manual Mode infers that the fusion voltage and time are obtained
directly from the operator at the time of the fusion.
Manual Mode should only be used when the
barcode is malfunctioning or unavailable
.
The temperature compensation must be calculated and
entered manually, making it difficult to ensure the proper implementation of time/temperature
compensation for fittings requiring this feature.
Since compensation factors vary for different fitting
types and manufacturers, the fitting manufacturer should always be consulted to verify proper
fusion time, voltage, and cooling time.
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.
Power Up
Make sure the unit’s
Power button
is in the OFF position.
Make sure the generator is running smoothly in high speed manual mode before plugging in the
Roughneck
Electrofusion Processor
. It is strongly recommended that the
Roughneck Electrofusion Processor
is the only
device being powered by that generator. Do not use an extension cord if it is at all possible. If an extension
cord must be used, see page 42 for guidelines on selecting an appropriately sized cord.
Plug the 30 amp twist-lock into the appropriately sized receptacle on the generator.
NOTE:
Using a receptacle with a rating of less than 30 amps may cause generator breakers to trip while fusing
larger couplings.
Press the
Power button
to turn the processor ON.
After the processor has turned ON, start-up screens similar to the following will be displayed one after
another:
