9. ALARM CODES AND THEIR MEANING
WARNING! The welding cycle is interrupted whenever an error code is displayed. The
interruption may cause the deterioration of the material being welded.
In no event shall Ritmo S.p.A. be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential
damages of any kind whatsoever with respect to the use of pipes/fittings/couplers
previously involved in welding cycles resulting in error codes.
ERROR 5 – POWER SOURCE VOLTAGE
Probable cause : Power source voltage out of range
V
min
= 195V  V
max
= 265V (230V)
Solution : Verify the power source characteristics
ERROR 10 – POWER SOURCE FREQUENCY
Probable cause: Power source frequency out of range
F
min
= 50Hz  F
max
= 60Hz
Solution : Verify the power source characteristics
ERROR 20 – AMBIENT TEMPERATURE OUT OF RANGE (when machine is in stand-by)
Probable cause : The ambient temperature is out of range ( -10°C  +40°C )
Solution : Protect the working site where the welding is taking place in order to reach an
ambient temperature within the allowable limits
ERROR 25 – TRANSFORMER OVERHEATED (during welding)
Probable cause : The temperature of the transformer is too high
Solution : Wait until the transformer has cooled off and then repeat the welding
ERROR 30 – WELDING VOLTAGE OUT OF CONTROL
Probable cause : The power source is supplying an out-of-range voltage
Solution : Verify the power source characteristics
ERRORS 35 and 40 – MACHINE OVERHEATED (when machine is in stand-by)
Probable cause : The machine reached a too high temperature after a welding cycle
Solution : Wait until the machine has cooled off
ERROR 45 – CURRENT MAXIMUM VALUE WAS OUTPACED
Probable cause : The heating wires inside the coupler are creating a short circuit
Probable cause : The coupler diameter is bigger than allowed
Solution : Repeat the welding with another coupler
ERROR 50 – WELDING CURRENT INFERIOR TO THE MINIMUM VALUE
Probable cause : One or both welding cables were unplugged during the welding
Solution : Repeat the welding with another coupler
Probable cause : The heating wires inside the coupler are interrupted
Solution : Repeat the welding with another coupler
Probable cause : The coupler is too small (the electrical resistance is too high)
Solution : Repeat the welding with a compatible coupler
