manually on the front panel keypad (as and when requested on the
screen by the system).
•
The reducer inserts are set into the clamps of the mechanical struc-
ture of the system.
•
The facing tool is set onto its carriage, and the component ends
are faced.
•
The outcome of facing is checked and, if o.k., the facing tool is
replaced with the fitting clamp and the electrofusion fitting, set into
it.
•
The contact terminals of the welding cable are connected to the con-
nectors of the the electrofusion fitting; push-on adapters appropriate
for the fitting are added to the terminals previously if needed.
•
Using the spacer bar for reference, first one component is inserted
into the fitting, then the spacer bar, removed and the second com-
ponent is inserted into the fitting.
•
If a beadless joint is desired, the inside balloon is positioned before
the second component is inserted into the fitting; when inserting
the balloon, it has to be clean.
•
When the correct position of the balloon is confirmed on the screen,
the system fills it with compressed air, asks on the screen if all
preparatory steps are done, and, when the answer is affirmative,
performs the welding operation automatically through to the cooling
stage.
•
Only at the end of the cooling stage, the connection between the
welding system and the electrofusion fitting may be disconected.
If this happens earlier, the welded joint is deemed incorrect and of
poor quality. If the operation was a beadless welding, the system
keeps the balloon inflated to the end of the cooling stage, and the
user will have to release the air before the next jointing job.

Operation
Before putting the machine into operation, review the transport locks and
safety auxiliaries as well as the way the machine is set into its transport
box. Whenever the machine is moved or shipped, it has to be set into
this box and secured for transport (see Sect. 2.7 for reference).
Important
When the printer is moved or shipped, the roll of labels in the
printer has to be removed
Info
When installing the reducer inserts, place the narrower inserts
into the inner clamps, the broader inserts, into the outer clamps.
The insertion and the removal of the inserts is performed
with-
out any tools
. The reducers are secured to the clamps by the
force of the magnets only.
4.1 Check-out, Turning on, Selecting the Display Language
Place the machine, in particular the mechanical structure with the pipe
clamps, on a level surface and ensure it cannot slide. Sufficient distance
has to be kept to other areas, especially to those in which flammable
materials are used. When starting the machine up, remove all transport
locks (see Sect. 2.7) if they are locked, before applying power to the
system. Furthermore, if the label tag printer ist planned to be used later
on, connect it to the machine and insert the roll of labels before the first
welding operation.
Depending on the piece that is going to be welded, the outer clamps
may have to be repositioned or removed. To do so, loosen the locking
thumb screws and either remove the clamp or re-adjust it and secure it
by tightening the locking screws again.
