Kerotest Manufacturing – SHANNON & PAF III OPERATORS MANUAL - REV 3

Operator ID

This setting controls the Operator Traceability functions. This option is different than Pipe/Fitting Traceability.
Pipe/Fitting Traceability is discussed below. Values for Operator Traceability are "OFF", "ON", or "SCAN":
"OFF" disables the Operator Traceability function.
"ON" enables the Operator Traceability function.
"SCAN" enables the Operator Traceability function with a requirement to scan an ISO 12176-3
compliant Operator ID Badge.
When Option 2 is highlighted, press the START button to select it. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to toggle
through available Operator Traceability function values. When the desired value is displayed, press the START
button to save.
To obtain operator barcodes, contact an authorized representative (See page 19).

Profiles

The Profiles setting currently has no function. The processor will beep twice if it accessed.

Calculated Resistance

This setting controls the Calculated Resistance option. Values for Calculated Resistance are "OFF" or "ON."
"OFF" - RECOMMENDED: The processor always measures resistance using a lab quality 4-wire
measurement. This is the processor's primary method of resistance measurement and is
frequently used during Quality Control testing by fitting manufacturers.
"ON" – If a processor displays Warning Code 55 (see page 53), an operator has the option to
perform a secondary Calculated Resistance check. During this secondary check, the unit calculates
a resistance estimate based on fusion voltage and current.
DO NOT TURN CALCULATED RESISTANCE ON UNLESS A 4-WIRE MEASUREMENT FAILS.
TURNING ON CALCULATED RESISTANCE DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT A FUSION WILL BE SUCCESSFUL.
BEFORE TURNING ON CALCULATED RESISTANCE, ALWAYS CONFIRM WITH THE FITTING MANUFACTURER
THAT IT IS AN ACCEPTABLE METHOD OF MEASUREMENT FOR THEIR SPECIFIED FITTING.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OPERATOR TO VERIFY THAT ALL THE INFORMATION DISPLAYED IS
CORRECT PER THE FITTING MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FUSING THE ATTACHED FITTING
When Option 4 is highlighted, press the START button to select it. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to toggle
between the Calculated Resistance values. When the desired value is displayed, press the START button to
save.
See page 42 for instructions how to operate the processor with Calculated Resistance.
