USING THE EF1
• Ensure that the machine is positioned outside hazardous zones
ATEX 0, 1 and 2.
• Allow the machine and fittings to reach the ambient temperature of the site.
• Keep the machine out of direct sunlight and free of any obstruction.
• Make sure fittings and pipe have been prepared in accordance with UPP® Installation
instructions.
Follow the steps below to weld electrofusion fittings:
1. Connect the required welding lead to the EF1 Welder:
• PRIMARY and GEMINI® SECONDARY fittings = RED (ORANGE) cable
• SECONDARY fittings = GREEN cable
• FUSION CHAMBER = WHITE cable
• 10 AMP fittings = BLACK cable
2. Connect the welding lead to the UPP® fusion fitting(s), making sure connectors are firmly
pushed onto the pins.
3. Connect the EF1 Welder to suitable 230V power supply.
4. Turn the unit ON. All LEDs light in sequence, then green Power LED remains on.
5. Momentarily depress the orange START button until first weld light illuminates.
The first weld light comes on, then successive LEDs light up until green 100% LED is lit,
showing weld is complete.
6. Disconnect welding lead from fitting. The 100% LED and Power LED remains on.
7. ALWAYS Reset for next weld by holding START button for 3 seconds. All LEDs will light in
sequence, then the green power LED remains on.
TIPS
• Switch off the machine during breaks and at the end of the job.
• The weld cycle can be stopped at any time by pressing the START/STOP button. This will
generate an error code and you must wait for the fitting to cool before attempting to
continue.
• If you have any doubt about a welded joint, UPP® fittings can be welded again provided they
are left to cool at ambient temperature for a minimum of one hour.
WARNING : Never re-weld a fitting that is still warm. Serious fire damage can occur and
hot material may be ejected from the weld zone creating a burning hazard.
WARNING : Power conducting elements may become exposed creating an electrical
shock hazard.
