UsIng THE EQUIPMEnT
This welding unit takes the ambient temperature into account when calculating the energy required to weld the fitting. It must therefore be
allowed to reach ambient temperature before use and must be at the same temperature as the fitting to be welded.
Prepare and clamp the pipe and fittings inline with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Connect the welding cable to the unit and the fitting to be welded. Connect the supply cable to the correct supply voltage and switch the unit
on. The screen will show a welcome message along with the software version and date. The owner details are then shown
The main menu is now shown on the display. During operation, except while welding, pressing the star key on the keypad will jump back to
this menu.
nOTEs:
The operation of the unit can be customized by turning welding modes on and off, along with some features like the cooling time and data
logging. This manual details all available modes and features. For information on how to customize the welding unit see the “Set Up” section
later on in this manual.
The welding unit is fitted with an alpha-numeric keypad, which is used by the operator to input data. Down the right hand side there are four
Quick-Keys: A, B, C & D. These act as quick shortcut keys, their function being prompted on the screen.
When entering data, letters and numbers can be selected by repeatedly pressing the same key, e.g. A B C 2 A B C 2. After a short pause the
cursor will move to the next position. Special characters and spaces can be selected by pressing the 1 or 0 keys. (This is the same method
used for text with mobile cell phones.) Pressing the B Quick-Key will step Back one position? Pressing the C Quick-Key will Clear the input
field.
The unit can record information about the weld, along with the date and time, and additional operator entered information.
It is possible to enter three pieces of information to identify the weld. The first is the Operator’s Name, the second is the Location where the
weld is being done, and the third is an Information Field for more details.
The display will show all three pieces of information:
Pressing the B Quick-key will select the ‘Operator Name’ and allow changes to be made. Enter the required information and press the A
Quick-key to accept it
Pressing the C Quick-key will select the ‘Location’ and allow changes to be made. Enter the required information and press the A Quick-key
to accept it.
Pressing the D Quick-key will select the ‘Information Field’ and allow changes to be made. Enter the required information and press the A
Quick-key to accept it
When all the information has been entered, press the A Quick-key to accept it.
This information will be saved when the weld has been completed, and will be prompted the next time a new weld is carried out.
The display will also ask if the pipe/fitting has been scraped and clamped. Select yes or no using the Quick-Keys. This information will be
saved on the data log memory.
The unit can save 2048 welds in memory. When the memory is full, it will be overwritten from the beginning in blocks of 24 welds. This will
allow the last 2000 welds to be held in memory.
An optional “lifetime weld memory” feature is available. This uses an SD memory card fitted internally that records every weld carried out by
the unit. This is designed as a backup device and can only be downloaded by an approved service agent.
