Overview
Insulated Heater Stand
The heater should always be stored in the insulated heater stand
for protection of the operator and to minimize heat loss and risk of
mechanical damage.
The heater is hot and will burn clothing and skin.
Keep the heater in its insulated heater stand or
blanket when not in use, and use care when
heating the pipe.

Heater
Heater is not explosion proof. Operation of heater
in an explosive atmosphere without necessary safety
precautions will result in serious injury or death.
If operating in an explosive atmosphere, heater should be brought up to
temperature in a safe environment, then unplugged before entering the
explosive atmosphere for fusion.
The heater has a green indicator light which will flash on and off. This
indicates that the controller is operating normally. If the green indicator
is not flashing then the controller may not be operating properly. If this
occurs, disconnect power and have the heater repaired by a McElroy
Authorized Service Center.
The heater temperature is controlled by a microprocessor. It has a red
indicator light on the handle at the bottom of the temperature scale.
When the heater is plugged in and preheating the light glows steadily
until the set temperature is reached. The light then goes off and on slowly
as the heater maintains temperature.
The heater body is not coated. Coated butt fusion heater plates are
available for all butt fusion applications.
NOTICE: The heater should never be used without butt fusion heater plates
installed.
To prevent a build-up of plastic pipe residue from accumulating on the
heater plates (loss of surface temperature and pipe sticking may result),
the heater plates should be cleaned with a nonsynthetic cloth before every
fusion joint.
