Thank You for purchasing this
McElroy product.
McElroy’s DataLogger® 4 system uses the Trimble®
Nomad® computer with a pressure sender to record
information in the making of pipe fusion joints. The
DataLogger 4 pressure sender reads pressures up to
3000 psi. The DataLogger 4 is compact, it logs a report
for one joint and stores it on the Nomad computer.
The DL4m software is available in 5 languages and
has FusionGuide™ visual assistant that color codes the
produced graphs for better interpretation.
The McElroy DataLogger® 4 system consists of a pressure
sender, the Nomad computer, and optional accessories.
In addition to providing a user interface, the Nomad is
capable of storing hundreds of reports limited only by its
memory capacity. For example, a computer with 20MB
of user accessible memory can store up to 10,000 reports
that are 2Kbytes in length. (Note: although the computer
has the capacity, you are strongly advised to backup
your report data to a Desktop PC or secondary storage
device).
IMPORTANT: Please take every precaution to safeguard
your joint reports. Make backups often. McElroy cannot
guarantee the safety and integrity of joint reports beyond
the specification of component manufacturers and the
handling of equipment in the field.

Fusion Machine Procedures
Familiarize yourself with the fusion machine you will be working with by
reading the Manufacturer’s manuals for the machine. Read the Safety
Information to avoid potentially dangerous situations.
NOTICE: Follow the pipe manufacturer’s procedures or appropriate
joining standard for fusing the pipe being used.
Failure to adhere to proper machine and fusion procedures can result in
damage to the machine and bad fusion joints.
Heater Is Hot
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.
NOTICE: Use only a clean non-synthetic cloth such as a cotton
cloth to clean the heater plates.

Units With Hydraulics
For hydraulically operated equipment, it is important to remember
that a sudden hydraulic oil leak can cause serious injury, or even
be fatal if the pressure is high enough.
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the
skin causing serious injury. Keep hands and
body away from pinholes which eject fluid under
pressure. Use a piece of cardboard or paper to
search for leaks. If any fluid is injected into the
skin, it must be immediately removed by a doctor
familiar with this type of injury.
NOTICE: Wear safety glasses, and keep face clear of area when
bleeding air from hydraulic system to avoid spraying oil into eyes.

TX04389-2-29-12
Pressure Sender
The pressure sender is connected to the Nomad computer via
a cable. The cable can be replaced easily by unscrewing
from both ends. The pressure sender taps into the hydraulic
system of a fusion machine via a quick-disconnect. Pressure
reading is displayed on the computer screen as long as the
Nomad is turned on and communicating with the pressure
sender. The serial number and pressure rating of the sender is
engraved on the pressure sender.
NOTICE: Do not store pressure probe with adapter fitting(s)
attached. Stored pressure can damage the pressure sender.

Connecting To A Fusion Machine
NOTICE: The fusion machine must have a hydraulic quick
disconnect for connecting the pressure sender. If the machine
does not have one, contact your distributor for the proper
adapter or retrofit kit.
