Kerotest Manufacturing – SHANNON & PAF III OPERATORS MANUAL - REV 3
Downloading Wirelessly (Bluetooth models only)
Fusion data from a Shannon Bluetooth Electrofusion Processor is downloaded wirelessly through the EF
Utilities app. Once the data has been downloaded, it can be viewed at any time with a smart phone, tablet, or
computer.
To download fusion data from the processor to the EF Utilities app, perform the following steps:
a.
Turn ON the processor and allow it to proceed through the INTERNAL SELF TEST until it reaches the
CONNECT FITTING screen.
b.
Open the EF Utilities app on your smart phone or tablet and select, "Connect to EF Machine."
c.
Follow the download instructions in the app.
All progress indications and user feedback are communicated through the EF Utilities app which is available on
iOS and Android app stores. To set up an account and register your Bluetooth electrofusion processor(s),
contact KEROTEST MANUFACTURING CORP.
The option GPS in the SMART Scanner™ can be used to record the latitude and longitude of the processor
where the fusion is done:
•
The GPS coordinates are accurate to within 10-15 meters.
•
The latitude and the longitude, as well as the number of satellites used when generating the fix, are
stored with each fusion and output during the download.
•
Once downloaded, the coordinates can be input into many commercially available mapping
programs to obtain position information.
Trouble
The most common cause of GPS signal trouble is poor signal quality. This can be caused by:
1.
Antenna orientation.
2.
Obstructions such as buildings or trees.
3.
Weather conditions.
Other than moving the receiver or waiting for the weather to clear, there is not a great deal of control that
one has over a poor signal. Be sure to hold the device with the antenna (the side with the sticker) pointing up
and with a clear view of the sky.
When the device is in the CONNECT FITTING screen, the "-" in between the latitude and the longitude
measurement will flash. This flashing indicates that the SMART Scanner™ is receiving a signal from the GPS. If
this dash is not flashing, there is a problem with the GPS receiver itself and it should be returned.
