Important Safety Information
Most accidents that involve product operation, maintenance and repair are caused by failure to observe basic safety
rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous situations before an
accident occurs. A person must be alert to potential hazards. This person should also have necessary training, skills and
tools to perform these functions properly.
Advanced training is offered through McElroy University. Course offerings are meant to enhance your efciency,
productivity and safety in the proper use of McElroy equipment.
Improper operation, maintenance or repair of this product can be dangerous and could result in injury or death.
Do not operate this product until you have carefully read, and understand all the sections of this manual, and all other
equipment manuals that will be used with it.
Follow all applicable federal, state, local, and industry specific regulations.
The hazards are identified by the “Safety Alert Symbol” and followed by a “Signal Word” such as “DANGER”,
“WARNING” or “CAUTION”. The Safety Alerts are shown below.
The meaning of these safety alert symbols are as follows:
- Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
- Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
- Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
Signal words “NOTICE” and “IMPORTANT” are used to bring attention to important information.
The meaning of these signal words are as follows:
“NOTICE” - Can keep you from doing something that might damage the machine or someone’s property. It may also
be used to alert against unsafe practices.
“IMPORTANT” - Can help you do a better job or make your job easier in some way.
McElroy cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a potential hazard. The warnings in this
publication and on the product are, therefore, not all inclusive. If a tool, procedure, work method or operating technique
that is not specically recommended by McElroy is used, you must satisfy yourself that it is safe for you and for others.
You should also ensure that the product will not be damaged or be made unsafe by the operation, maintenance or
repair procedures that you choose.
The information, specications, and illustrations in the publication are on the basis of information that was available at
the time that the publication was written. The specications, pressures, measurements, adjustments, illustrations, and other
items can change at any time. These changes can affect the service that is given to the product. Obtain the complete and

Safety

SAFETY
There can be several specific safety messages on this
machine. The exact location of the hazards and the
description of the hazards are reviewed in this section.
Please become familiarized with all safety messages.
Make are that all of the safety messages on the
machine are legible. Clean the safety messages or
replace the safety messages if you cannot read the
words. Replace if the illustrations are not legible. When
you clean the safety messages, use a cloth, water and
soap. Do not use solvent, gasoline, or other harsh
chemicals to clean the safety messages. Solvents,
gasoline, or harsh chemicals could loosen the adhesive
that secures the safety message or damage the print of
the safety message.
Replace any safety message that is damaged, or
missing. If a safety message is attached to a part that is
replaced, install a safety message on the replacement
part. New safety messages can be ordered from
McElroy using the part number listed.
General Safety
Safety is important. Report anything unusual that you
notice during set up or operation.
LISTEN for thumps, bumps, rattles, squeals, air leaks, or
unusual sounds.
SMELL odors like burning insulation, hot metal, burning
rubber, hot oil, or natural gas.
FEEL any changes in the way the equipment operates.
SEE problems with wiring and cables, hydraulic
connections, or other equipment.
REPORT anything you see, feel, smell, or hear that is
different from what you expect, or that you think may
be unsafe.
Safety Equipment
Wear a hard hat, safety shoes, safety glasses, and
other applicable personal protective equipment.
Remove jewelry and rings, and do not wear loose
fitting clothing or long hair that could catch on controls
or moving machinery. Remove any loose safety
equipment during an operation that could be drawn
into or caught in the machine.
Ensure proper fire prevention or other fire-fighting
equipment is available and all personnel know how
and when to use it.
Equipment Not Explosion
Proof
This safety message is located on the cord of the
heater.
DataLogger® equipment is not explosion proof.
Operation of equipment in an explosive atmosphere
may result in serious injury or death.
Do not operate this equipment in an explosive
atmosphere.
Units with Hydraulics
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.
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 handheld computer, 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 Adapt-
er 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 calibrated at McElroy Manufac-
turing, Inc. Its calibration should be checked annually
to maintain factory quality.
Handheld Computer
Keep the handheld computer clean especially around
the connections, camera, barcode scanner, 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 calibration to ensure
accuracy.
A backup pressure sender may be kept on hand to
minimize down time.
