  20. Preparing the Pocket PC to Log a Joint • Tap the Menu button located in the lower left-hand corner of the screen • Tap the Log/Status menu item to open the Log/Status dialog box

  21. Preparing the Pocket PC to Log a Joint • The Log/Status dialog box Provides status info including PPC battery level, DataLogger ® battery status, pressure transducer and temperature readings and logging status • Tap the Connect button to initiate a connection with the DataLogger® before continuing

  22. Preparing the Pocket PC to Log a Joint • The Check DataLogger dialog box is displayed • Make sure the DataLogger is turned on • Tap OK to continue • Tap the device that you wish to connect to (MDL3-0001) • The PPC will connect with the device selected

  23.

Preparing the Pocket PC to Log a Joint • Tap the Next button to continue to the Drag Pressure dialog box • Tap in the Drag Pressure and enter the drag pressure or tap next to accept the default value of 30 PSI • Tap the Next button and a dialog box will display the recommended gauge pressures

  26. Using the DataLogger to Measure and Record Heater Temperature • Tap the Next button to continue to the Heater Temperature dialog box • To measure heater temperature, hold the top of the DataLogger® about 4 inches for the heater plate, pointing the temp sensor at the heater plate. Press and hold the DataLogger® switch, which turns on the guidance lasers. Adjust until the 2 laser beams converge to a single point. Use the PPC screen to read the temperature

  27. Using the DataLogger to Measure and Record Heater Temperature • Notice the temp box flashesto indicate recorded temperature • Once the temp is stable, release the DataLogger® multifunction switch to record the temperature.

  28. Using the PPC to Initiate the Data Logging Process • Tap the START button on the Pocket PC to initiate the data logging process • Note: The is a slight delay (3-5) seconds as the software sets up the procedure. Watch the PPC and wait for the STOP WATCH to begin before closing the carriage on the heater

  29. Using the PPC to STOP the Data Logging Process • Follow the prescribed methods to heat, fuse and cool the pipe. • Once the pipe fusion processes are complete; Tap the STOP button on the PPC to complete the data logging process. Note: Always stop logging before opening the carriage. Otherwise, an unintended change in pressure will be introduced at the end of the joint report graph

  30. Downloading the Joint Report into the Pocket PC • Once you have confirmed the STOP command, a dialog box will appear that shows that “Logging stopped” • Next the program will automatically begin the process of downloading the joint report into the PPC. Note: Do not turn-off the DataLogger® or the Pocket PC until the download is complete.

  31. Reading and Analyzing Data 1a. 1b. • The joint report will be displayed upon the completion of the download. • 1a and 1b presents information related to the joint, e.g. date, joint number, operator, etc. • 2 presents the front end plot which shows the shift-sequence into the soak cycle. The summary plot shows the entire fusion process from end-to-end. 2. Return to Index

  32. Reading and Analyzing Data Joint Made Using Improper Procedure • The Front-end Plots shows the result of a fusion that was made incorrectly. The plot highlights the occurrence of a bad shift sequence. The plot indicates that the pressure dropped off too slowly • The Summary Plot shows that the rest of the processes followed were OK. Unfortunately the joint is bad due to the incorrect shift sequence, it will need to be cut out

  33. Reading and Analyzing Data Joint Made Using Proper Procedure • The Front-end Plot shows the result of a fusion that was made correctly. The plot indicates that the pressure dropped off Correct • The Summary Plot shows that the rest of the processes followed were OK.
