2.6 PROCESS INCOMPLETE PRE-ALERT
Before starting the fusion process, the processor will measure
it’s internal temperature, and if the temperature is too high, a
message will be displayed informing the user that the machine
needs to be allowed to cool down before use!
The message is simply a
warning to inform the user that
the fusion process may not be
concluded successfully due to
the internal temperature of the
machine. Since fittings have
different power requirements depending on manufacturer, size,
and technology parameters, it does not prevent the user from
going forward, but should be taken into consideration.
