and entered manually, making it difficult to ensure the proper implementation of time/temperature
compensation for fittings requiring this feature. Since compensation factors vary for different fitting
types and manufacturers, the fitting manufacturer should always be consulted to verify proper fusion
time, voltage, and cooling time.
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.

NOTE:
The Shannon Electrofusion Processor cannot be turned ON until it has been connected to an adequate
source of AC power. This feature is designed to protect the processor from input voltage spikes during the
power up sequence. This feature will not protect the processor from voltage spikes after initial power
up. When the processor is first turned ON each day, you may need to press and hold the green button for
approximately one (1) second until the unit powers up.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, PRESS AND HOLD THE POWER SWITCH IN THE "ON" POSITION
WHILE STARTING A GENERATOR THAT THE PROCESSOR IS PLUGGED INTO. DOING SO WILL BYPASS THE
PROTECTION CIRUIT AND EXPOSE THE PROCESSOR TO VERY HIGH INPUT VOLTAGE SPIKES WHICH WILL
The correct power up sequence is as follows:
1.
Make sure the Shannon Electrofusion Processor is OFF and disconnected from the generator.
2.
Start the generator. Make sure the generator is running smoothly in high speed manual mode
before plugging in the Shannon Electrofusion Processor.
3.
Plug the Shannon Electrofusion Processor into the appropriately sized receptacle on the generator.
It is strongly recommended that the Shannon Electrofusion Processor is the only device being
powered by that generator. Do not use an extension cord if it is at all possible. If an extension cord
must be used, see page 52 for guidelines on selecting an appropriately sized cord.
4.
Press and hold the green button on the power switch until the processor powers up.
