APPLICATION
The EF1 is designed to automatically weld UPP® Primary and Secondary Containment
electrofusion fittings, Electrofusion Chambers and Large diameter 10 amp fittings. This is done by
using color-coded welding leads as shown below.

The EF1 can be used in ambient temperatures between -15° C (5° F) and +45° C (113° F). Only
personnel fully trained and certified in the use and installation of the UPP® system should use
this equipment.
MAIN FEATURES
UPP® electrofusion fittings are welded using a constant current. The EF1 automatically recognizes
the fitting when connected and applies the correct amount of energy for a successful weld.

• The EF1 takes the ambient temperature into account when calculating the energy required
to weld correctly. It must therefore be allowed to reach ambient temperature before use
and must be at the same temperature as the fitting to be welded. The temperature sensor
is located adjacent to the power cable entry gland.
• The EF1 works on standard alternating current and either a mains connection or a generator
can be used. Generators must have a rated output of at least 3.5 k VA and power input must
be between 194 and 264 V at 40 to 70 Hz.
• The EF1 has an on / off button, a weld start button and an LED display showing the weld
progress. The LEDs can also show any fault conditions that may affect the weld.
