Entering Data with the Keypad
To enter data in any field manually, press the
UP button
or the
DOWN button
to scroll through the list of valid
characters. When you find the one you wish to use press the
START button
to move to the next character. If
an invalid character is entered, press the
STOP
button
to back the cursor up to the previous character and
change it. (If the
STOP button
is pressed while on the first character the processor will return to the previous
screen.) Repeat this procedure until all data is entered. When the
START
button
is pressed after the last
character, the processor will move to the next screen (if the
START
button
is pressed when a blank character
is displayed, the processor will skip the rest of the field and move to the next screen).
NOTE:
The processor will not allow an operator to enter invalid or out of range data. Example: If the maximum
number allowed in a field is 40.0, the processor will not allow the operator to enter a number greater than
40.0.
NOTE:
When entering data, the processor will acknowledge valid data with one beep and continue. If there is an
error encountered the processor will beep twice and not continue.
Traceability
Pipe/Fitting
The Gas industry has been promoting the adoption of traceability barcodes by manufacturers of pipe and
fittings, through the ASTM F2897-11 and ISO 12176-4 standards.
These barcodes contain the manufacturer’s
data that pertains to the construction of the pipe/fittings that are being fused. For those manufacturers that
have incorporated this traceability feature, it can be found on an additional barcode appearing on the pipe
and fittings, separate from the standard fusion barcodes. Examples of these barcodes are shown below:
ASTM F2897-11
ISO 12176-4
The Pipe/Fitting Traceability option can only be enabled through the Features Menu (see page 29). When this
option is
set to “O
N
” or “O
PT
”
, in addition to the fitting barcode, the operator will be prompted to scan one or
more traceability barcodes that are attached to the pipe and/or the fitting. This data will not affect the fusion;
however, it will be associated with the fusion in the download.
If the Pipe/Fitting Traceability option
is set to “O
N
” or “O
PT,
”
the operator will be prompted to scan the
barcodes immediately after the fitting barcode is scanned. The screen will look similar to the following:
