INTRODUCTION 

Preface 

The information contained herein is the technical data and specifications for 

JACKSON FUSION EQUIPMENT’s

 

Roughneck Electrofusion Processor

This publication was written to assist trained personnel in the proper procedures and operating functions of 
the

 

Roughneck Electrofusion Processor

.

 

Operation of JACKSON FUSION EQUIPMENT should only be performed by trained and qualified personnel. 

The technical data and advice contained herein are based upon tests and information believed to be reliable.  
However, the operator should not rely upon it absolutely for specific applications. All data is given and 
accepted at the user

s risk and confirmation of its validity and suitability in particular cases should be obtained 

independently. JACKSON FUSION EQUIPMENT makes no guarantee of results and assumes no obligation or 
liability in connection with its advice. The integrity of the piping system is the ultimate responsibility of the 
installer. This publication is not to be taken as a license to operate under, or recommendation to infringe, any 
patents. 

Features 

The

 

Roughneck Electrofusion Processor

 is a reliable, easy-to-use, rugged tool designed to withstand 

conditions found at typical construction sites throughout the world. 

The

 

Roughneck Electrofusion Processor

 is splash proof and highly shock resistant.   

The 

Roughneck Electrofusion Processor

 

can fuse all manufacturers’ fittings 

requiring outputs that are within 

the voltage and current values listed in the 

Specifications Table

 on page 7. 

The

 

Roughneck Electrofusion Processor

 operates most efficiently and reliably in the Barcode Fusion Mode; 

however, it can be operated in Alternate Fusion Modes.  

The Barcode Fusion Method is always preferred and 

should be used whenever possible.

 

The

 

Roughneck Electrofusion Processor

 has an intuitive user interface that is easy to learn. 

The

 

Roughneck Electrofusion Processor

 is equipped with internal memory for data storage and can be 

downloaded to determine installation conditions and fusion cycle status. 

The 

Roughneck Electrofusion Processor

 is capable of scanning and recording both ASTM F2897-11 and ISO 

12176-4 Traceability barcodes. 

The

 

Roughneck Electrofusion Processor

 can be operated from any AC power source meeting the input power 

requirements listed in the 

Specifications Table 

on page 7.
