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.
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.
NOTICE: Wear safety glasses, and keep face clear of area
when bleeding air from hydraulic system to avoid spraying oil
into eyes.

MAINTENANCE
Usage and Care
Pressure Sender cord
The coiled cord, which connects the pressure sender to the
tablet, has screw connectors on both ends. If the cord is
damaged it is easily replaced by unscrewing both ends and
installing a new cord.
Quick Disconnect
This DataLogger® uses an improved quick disconnect on the
pressure sender. It is designed to seal reliably but not trap
pressure in the line. It can be connected under pressure if
necessary. To use this unit on older fusion machines you will
need Fusion Machine Adapter Kit ADL6001. Remove the QD
and fittings on the carriage manifold TXA port and replace
them with the elbow and QD in the kit.
Pressure Sender
The pressure sender is verified at McElroy Manufacturing, Inc.
and a certification document is included. Its calibration should
be checked annually to maintain factory quality.
Tablet
Keep the tablet clean especially around the connections,
camera, and keypad. Keep the screen clean and free of debris.
No User Serviceable Parts
NOTICE: There are no parts of the DataLogger® that can be
repaired by the user. Do not try to open the unit. Any attempt
to open the unit can affect the weatherproofing and can
damage the unit.
Calibration
Pressure sender must be sent to McElroy or Authorized Service
Center every year for certification.
A backup pressure sender may be kept on hand to minimize
down time.
