GENERAL OPERATION
Modes of Operation
The Roughneck Electrofusion Processor has multiple modes of operation:
Primary Fusion Mode
Barcode Fusion Mode
Barcode Fusion Mode infers that fusion parameters are input into the processor by scanning a barcode
label attached to the fitting being fused. When the barcode is scanned at the appropriate prompt, the
processor reads the fitting’s specific fusion parameters. Barcode labels generally provide the following
details needed to fuse that particular fitting: manufacturer, type, size, energy (voltage), fusion time,
cool time, resistance, tolerance, and compensation factors.
It is strongly recommended that Barcode Fusion Mode be used to perform fusions whenever
possible.
The Barcode Fusion Mode includes additional automated features and pre-fusion machine
checks which are not always available when using Alternate Fusion Modes. Some of these additional
features include:
•
Automatic calculation of fusion time adjustments based on ambient temperature.
•
Pre-fusion resistance checks against manufacturer-specified tolerances.
These features help ensure that the proper fusion parameters are entered . However, it is important
to understand that no amount of machine checks will ever negate the requirement for a well-trained
observant operator to make a final GO/NO GO decision, regardless of which Mode of Operation is
being used.
FAILURE TO VERIFY THAT THE FUSION INFORMATION IS CORRECT BEFORE STARTING A FUSION COULD
RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, PERSONAL INJURY, AND/OR DEATH.
Alternate Fusion Modes
Alternate Fusion Modes are used when the SMART Scanner™ is malfunctioning or unavailable. Alternate
Fusion Modes require additional care and attentiveness on the part of the operator to ensure that the proper
fusion parameters are entered.
For this reason, the following Alternate Fusion Modes should ONLY be
performed by a fully trained operator using the fitting manufacturer’s specifications regarding fusion time,
voltage, and cooling time:
Manual Barcode Mode
Infers that the fusion parameters are obtained from the 24 digit barcode number that the operator
manually inputs from the keypad.
