DWELL CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
The dwell control adjustment controls the length
of time the tool continues to rotate the pipe after
the groove diameter stop contacts the top of
the hydraulic cylinder. The dwell control timer is
adjustable for time range and pipe size settings.
When adjusted to the proper pipe size, the pipe
will rotate a minimum of one revolution after
the groove diameter stop contacts the hydraulic
cylinder. This ensures that the groove in the pipe
will be of uniform depth around the entire pipe
circumference.
TIME RANGE ADJUSTMENT
The time range setting will set the operating
parameters of the timer.
1. To adjust the time range setting, rotate the
timer dial counterclockwise completely until the
range settings are visible on the dial.
CAUTION
• Use only a #0 Phillips-head screwdriver to
adjust the range screw.
Failure to follow this instruction may
damage the screw head.
2. If necessary, rotate the time range screw,
located in the lower left-hand corner of the
timer, to the desired range shown on the dial
face.
NOTE: VE414/415MC tools are factory set in
the “SEC-10” position. Use only a #0 Phillips
head screwdriver to adjust the range screw.
Use of any tools other than a #0 Phillips-head
screwdriver may damage the screw head.
•
For 2–6-inch/60.3–168.3-mm pipe sizes,
set the timer range to “SEC-10”
• For 8–12-inch/219.1–323.9-mm pipe sizes,
set the timer range to “SEC-50”
CAUTION
• The timing range shall be set properly for
the pipe size being grooved.
Failure to follow this instruction could cause
excessive or insufficient dwell, resulting in
improper groove diameters and grooves that
are not uniform in depth.
