Operating Instructions MSA 2 Fusion process
11
As soon as a fitting presence is recognized, the MSA 2.0 moves
automatically forward, asking for the fusion parameters.
This is also pointed out by a double short tone of the MSA 2.0
and the barcode scanner. The scanner LED switches off too, to
alert the operator that it is ready to accept commands.
2.4 Enter operator code/job number (MSA 2.1 only)
At the beginning the user can add some work site information,
like the operator code and the job number for the next welding.
The reading of the operator code can be set as mandatory or left
optional.
When the leads are properly connected to the fitting, the control
unit checks the fitting resistance and displays it to the user.
In the MSA 2.1, before the acquisition of the fusion parameters,
the user can read with the scanner the operator badge (ISO
12176-3 compliant) and the job number.

In case the operator code is mandatory the first row ‘----‘ will
blink and the MSA 2.1 will not move forward, blocking the
acquisition of the fusion parameters.
