Electro-Fusion
Pipe Welder
A pipe-welding device for use with
specialist polyethylene pipe systems.
Operating & Safety Guide HW024
With output voltage selected by the user
(between
8 and 44Vac.rms. the user would also need to input
fusion time and voltage information).
Manual 39.5Vac.rms. setting…
With the unit switched OFF, press and hold the No
3 keypad and switch the main unit ON.
The LCD will display ‘MANUAL MODE 39.5’, you
can now release the No 3 key
and proceed with the
set-up.
The LCD will then display ‘VERSION 5.0’ then
‘ENT.OP-CODE 000’.
The latter is asking you to input
your operator code and should NOT be used unless the
unit is to be used by more than one person. If you input
a new three-digit code, make sure you don’t forget it.
The LCD will prompt the user to connect the output leads
to the fitting.
Connect the leads ensuring a firm
positive connection is achieved.
The unit will then ask for the electro-fusion time
for the particular joint. The time information will
be found on the joint,
enter the value using the
numerical keypads then press enter.
Finally,
press the green START button to activate the
weld,
(the LCD will display the fusion time and will count
down during the fusion cycle).
Once the weld is
complete, the buzzer will sound
and the LCD will
display a joint reference number for your records.
You should now
switch the main unit OFF before
disconnecting the output leads and proceed to the
next joint.
Manual Variable 8 – 44Vac.rms. setting…
With the unit switched OFF, press and hold the No
4 keypad and switch the main unit ON.
The LCD will display ‘MANUAL MODE 8/44’, you
can now release the No 4 key
and proceed with the
set-up.
The LCD will then display ‘VERSION 5.0’ then
‘ENT.OP-CODE 000’.
The latter is asking you to input
your operator code and should NOT be used unless the
unit is to be used by more than one person. If you input a
new three-digit code, make sure you don’t forget it.
The LCD will prompt the user to connect the output leads
to the fitting.
Connect the leads ensuring a firm
positive connection is achieved.
The unit will ask for the electro-fusion time for the
particular joint. The time information will be found
on the joint,
enter the value using the numerical keypads
then press enter.
The unit will then ask for the fusion set voltage for
the particular joint. Again, the voltage information
will be found on the joint, enter the value using the
numerical keypads then press enter.
If the joint is a
39.5Vac.rms. joint you can weld in this mode by entering
a voltage of 99.
Finally,
press the green START button to activate the
weld,
(the LCD will display the fusion time and will count
down during the fusion cycle).
Once the weld is
complete, the buzzer will sound and the LCD will
display a joint reference number for your records.
You should now
switch the main unit OFF before
disconnecting the output leads and proceed to the
next joint.
Barcode Set Up…
With the unit switched OFF, press and hold the No
5 keypad and switch the main unit ON.
The LCD will display ‘BARCODE MODE’, you can now
release the No 5 key
and proceed with the set-up.
The LCD will then display ‘VERSION 5.0’ then
‘ENT.OP-CODE 000’.
The latter is asking you to input
your operator code and should NOT be used unless the
unit is to be used by more than one person. If you input a
new three-digit code, make sure you don’t forget it.
The LCD will prompt the user to connect the output leads
to the fitting.
Connect the leads ensuring a firm
positive connection is achieved.
The unit will ask for the barcode for the particular
joint. The barcode will be found on the joint, simply
hold the scanner over the barcode until the LCD
displays the 24 bit code read.
If the barcode cannot be read the LCD will display a
fault and you will have to enter the code manually.
Enter the code using the numerical keypads then
press enter.
You will then be prompted to
press the green START
button to activate the weld,
(the LCD will display the
fusion time and will count down during the fusion cycle).
Once the weld is complete, the buzzer will sound
and the LCD will display a joint reference number
for your records.
You should now
switch the main unit OFF before
disconnecting the output leads and proceed to the
next joint.
Never push the equipment beyond its design
limits. If it will not do what you want with
reasonable ease and speed, assume you have the
wrong type or size of welder for the job. Ask at
your local HSS Hire Weld Depot for advice.
When not in use,
store the equipment somewhere
clean, dry and safe
from thieves.
Keep the equipment clean.
You will find this less of a
chore if you clean it up regularly rather than wait until
the end of the hire period.
Switch OFF and unplug the unit from its power
supply. Disconnect all leads and coil them up
neatly ready for return,
to your local HSS Hire Weld
Depot
