Prepare Heater
The heater needs to be cleaned and temperature verified before each fusion joint. Cleaning and recording heater values will be
easier to do before loading pipe.
Å
Touch Manual Operation and then the Manual Fusion button.
Å
Ensure the heater on. If the heater is not on, turn on the heater.
Å
Allow the heater to reach the temperature range.
Å
Index the heater until the heater is positioned over the fusion zone.
Å
Lower the heater down to the end of travel.
NOTICE:
Ensure the heater has cycled on and off for a few minutes before shutting off the machine to take heater temperature
readings. Incorrect temperature readings will affect the temperature offset of the heater. The surface temperature of the heater may
be out of range of the fusion standard.
Å
Shut the machine down.
Å
Measure temperature on the heater using a pyrometer at 4 points on each side of the heater. If the measurements are not within
acceptable range, navigate to the Heater Calibration screen and enter the measured values to calculate the heater offset and
calibrate the heater.
Å
Clean the heater surfaces with a clean dry lint-free non-synthetic cloth.
Å
Start the machine and log into the Talon Control Application.
