2.5 Enter fusion data
After that, the user can insert the fusion parameters:
•
Either reading the barcode information with the scanner,
•
or, if the barcode cannot be read with a scanner for any
reason, entering manually fusion time and voltage by
pressing the START/OK ( I ) button to go in “edit” mode
and then using (
) and ( ) to select the required digits
and ( ) ( ) to change field. Once the values are entered,
must be pushed START/OK ( I ).
At this stage, to ensure a reliable jointing, pipes and fitting have
to be already prepared: pipes must have been scraped, cleaned,
aligned following the instructions of the fitting manufacturers.
If fusion parameters are not acquired, there might be several
reasons:
•
The barcode reader may be operated in a wrong way: try to
put it closer to the barcode
•
The barcode may be damaged
•
The data are not the expected ones (prolonged tone
generated by the machine): the barcode read does not
contain fusion parameters
As soon as the data are correctly read from the barcode, the
machine confirms with a double acoustic tone and show on the
display a summary of the captured fusion parameters: time,
voltage and expected coil resistance.
