Rionfuser™ LT
The
Rionfuser™ LT Electrofusion Processor
has a 9 pin D-sub connector instead of a USB host connector. To download fusion
data from a
Rionfuser™ LT Electrofusion Processor
onto a USB flash drive, you will need a USB to Serial Port adapter. This adapt
er is available for purchase from WATTS. One adapter may be used with multiple processors.
The pictures below show a 9 pin D-sub connector and the installed adapter for your reference.

Fusion data from an
RD-3000LE Bluetooth
®
Electrofusion Processor
is downloaded wirelessly through the EF Utilites app. Once
data has been downloaded, it can be viewed at any time with a smart phone, tablet or computer.
To download fusion data from the processor to the EF Utilities app, perform the following steps:
1. Turn on the processor and allow it to proceed through the INTERNAL SELF TEST until it reaches the CONNECT LEADS
screen.
2. Open the EF Utilities app on your smart phone or tablet and select, "Connect to EF Machine".
3. Follow the download instructions in the app.
All progress indications and user feedback are communicated through the EF Utilities app which is available on iOS and
Android app stores. To set up an account and register your EF processor(s), contact EF Technologie
Power Sources
When installing electrofusion fittings in field applications, it is necessary to have a reliable source of AC power for the processor.
This AC power wource should:
• Be well maintained and subjected to a periodic maintenance schedule.
• Provide output voltage within the specified operating range.
• Contain a matching outlet, which is required to connect with the plug equipped on the processor.
Utility Power
Utility power is a reliable and ideal power source for the
Rionfuser
™
Electrofusion Processor
. However, it is not practical to gain
access to this kind of power source in field applications. When fusing with utility power, a dedicated connection to the service
panel is recommended because the potential amperage draw is very high.
Generators
Fuel powered generators are also a good source of electrical power for the
Rionfuser
™
Electrofusion Processor.
Always make a
note of the minimum fitting power requirements. Additional power capacity is recommended for intangibles (i.e. powering other
accessories, wear & tear, etc.). Before starting a fusion, it is important to make sure:
• The generator has enough fuel to complete the electrofusion cycle.
• The auto-throttle is disengaged (in anticipation of immediate power draw).
Inverters
Inverters are an acceptable AC power source for the Rionfuser
™
Electrofusion Processor, though some produce output
waveforms that are troublesome with specific fittings. We recommend performing compatibility tests using the lightest and
heaviest anticipated loads before approving an inverter system. Feel free to contact us to discuss issues regarding the use of
inverters.
