Operation

Recording the Fusion Pressures

The proper time to begin recording the fusion pressure is just after
placing the heater into the fusion machine. Install the heater in the
machine and then press 4 to begin recording the pressure. When
recording the pressure, simply operate the fusion machine in the
normal manner. There is no special technique required to use the
DataLogger

.

The logging screen shows the elapsed time since the 4 key was
pressed and also shows a stopwatch timer. The stopwatch can be
used for timing during the fusing process. Press 0 to reset and
restart the stopwatch.
The recording should be stopped as soon as the recommended cool
time is finished. Press the 6 key to stop recording before doing any
other machine operation. Stopping the recording will prevent filling
up the joint storage memory with unnecessary data.
Follow the screen instructions to view the graph, print the graph, or
log another joint.
