Heater
Heater is not explosion proof. Operation of heater in an
explosive atmosphere without necessary safety precautions
will result in serious injury or death.
If operating in an explosive atmosphere, heater should be brought up to
temperature in a safe environment, then
unplugged before entering
the
explosive atmosphere for fusion.
The heater has a green indicator light which will flash on and off. This
indicates that the controller is operating normally. If the green indicator is
not flashing then the controller may not be operating properly. If this occurs,
disconnect power and have the heater repaired by a McElroy Authorized
Service Center.
The heater temperature is controlled by a microprocessor. It has a red
indicator light on the handle at the bottom of the temperature scale. When
the heater is plugged in and preheating the light glows steadily until the set
temperature is reached. The light then goes off and on slowly as the heater
maintains temperature.
The heater body is not coated. Coated butt fusion heater plates are available
for all butt fusion applications.
NOTICE:
The heater should never be used without butt fusion heater plates
installed.
To prevent a build-up of plastic pipe residue from accumulating on the heater
plates (loss of surface temperature and pipe sticking may result), the heater plates should be cleaned
with a non-synthetic cloth before every fusion joint.
