Kerotest Manufacturing – SHANNON & PAF III OPERATORS MANUAL - REV 3
To reinstall the battery pack, simply perform the previous 3 steps in reverse:
1.
Grasp the battery pack with two hands and lower it vertically into the mounting bracket. During
reinstallation, remember to orient the battery pack so the pigtail is pointing to your left.
2.
Tighten the strap.
3.
Reconnect the battery pigtail to the processor.
The connection between the battery pack and the processor is polarity sensitive
and negative terminals on the battery pack are color coded and the connectors themselves are
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE CONNECTORS BE FORCED TOGETHER. IF FOR
ANY REASON THIS CONNECTION BECOMES DAMAGED IT SHOU LD BE REPAIRED
Because electrofusion fittings produce a high amperage draw, the use of an extension cord is not encouraged.
However, in the event such usage is necessary, the following lengths and wire gauges are recommended:
Extension cords should not be used on 14" and larger couplers.
A pigtail converts a 30 amp twist-lock to a 15 amp straight-blade plug. It is designed to power the processor
when a NEMA L5 socket is not available, especially while downloading. Its use is not recommended in field
applications with electrofusion fittings.
The processor's temperature sensor is located near the end of the output cable in the barcode wand/SMART
Scanner™ connector. The temperature sensor does not respond immediately to thermal changes. In order to
ensure accurate ambient temperature measurements, the output cable end should be left in the fitting
environment for at least 15 minutes. Direct exposure to sun light and other heat sources will adversely affect
accuracy.
Temperature Compensation
When using the Kerotest Electrofusion Processor in Barcode Fusion Mode or Manual Barcode Mode to fuse
fittings that require temperature compensation, it is essential that care be given to ensure the correct initial
fusion temperature is measured. The processor will automatically adjust the fusion time per the measured
temperature as specified by the fusion parameters.
When using the processor in Manual Mode to fuse fittings that require temperature compensation, it is
necessary to enter the appropriately adjusted time as specified by the fitting manufacturer.
THE PROCESSOR WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY COMPENSATE FUSION TIME IN MANUAL MODE.
