In the next step, one of the two carriages that support the clamps has to
be locked using the star knob, and the component in the other clamp has
to be pressed manually and consistently against the facing tool. Ideally,
therefore, a right-handed person will lock the left-hand carriage and press
the component on the right against the facing tool, while a left-handed
person will lock the right-hand carriage and press the component on the
left against the facing tool.
Using its star knob, lock the carriage that is appropriate for you, switch
the power facing tool on at its On/Off switch, and push the other carriage
towards the facing tool. This will also align the facing tool properly right
on the midline between the two components.
Important
Verify that the direction of rotation of the facing tool is o.k. If it
turns the wrong way, the direction of rotation can be reversed
using the switch on the power facer.
Go on facing until the spacer pins of the facing tool touch the inside
surface of the inner clamps on both carriages. Then switch the facing
tool off.
When you are done facing, check the outcome of the process and pro-
ceed to the next step only when the outcome is satisfactory. The facing
process may also be repeated, if needed, after repositioning the com-
ponents in the clamps.
4.6.1 Connecting the Electrofusion Fitting
Release the previously locked carriage by untightening the star knob.
Move both carriages apart from the facing tool and lift the quick release
lever to be able to slide the facing off its seat on the middle carriage of
the mechinal structure.
Performing the same steps in reverse order, place the fitting clamp the
matches the diameter of the components to be jointed onto the middle
carriage. Insert the fitting into the fitting clamp and close the clamp around
the fitting, making sure that the openings fall over the connectors of the
fitting for the terminals of the welding cable. Lock the fitting clamp by
tightening the thumb screw on its front.
Connect the connection terminals of the cable to the e-fitting and check
for proper contact. Use terminal adapters if needed. The contact sur-
faces of the cable connection terminals or adapters and the fitting have
to be clean. Dirty terminals may lead to improper welding and also to
overheated and fused connection terminals. Protect the cable connectors
against getting dirty at all times. Terminals and push-on adapters should
be considered consumables and, therefore, have to be checked before
every welding operation and replaced if damaged or dirty.
When the electofusion fitting is connected, the “No Contact” message
disappears and the number of the next welding report appears (see
Displays 3 and 9).
4.6.2 Reading the Fitting Code with a Scanning Pen or Handheld Scanner
Only the bar code on the tag sticking on the fitting to be welded may
be used. It is not acceptable to read the fitting code tag of a fitting of a
different kind if the intended one is damaged or unreadable. The same
holds by analogy for transponder cards encoding the welding param-
eters.
An inside beadless welding requires a transponder card with
a special 34-digit code.
Read the fitting code either by holding a transponder card in front of
