Fault Indicators

When an error has occurred during the weld cycle that will have an effect on 

the success of the joint, the red warning LED on the right side of the display 

will light up. Also one of the “weld progress” lights will light up at the same time 

to show what type of fault has occurred. 

Error 

LED

Fault 

Indicated

Meaning

Solution

1

Power supply 

failure during 

weld

The power supply was 

off at sometime during 

the weld 

• 

Check and repair power supply

• 

Check plug connection

• 

Check cables are not damaged or 

broken

• 

Re-weld fitting only after it is allowed 

to cool to ambient temperature

2

Stop button 

pressed 

during weld

Stop button was 

pressed

• 

Re-weld fitting only after it is allowed 

to cool to ambient temperature

3

Power supply 

out of limits

Supply frequency not 

between 40 and 70 

Hz, or Voltage not 

between 194 & 264V

• 

Check and rectify generator output

• 

Check mains supply

• 

Make sure supply is to required 

specification

4

Ambient 

temperature 

out of range

Temperature of the 

EF1 is not between 

-15° C (5º F) and  

+45° C (113º F)

• 

Allow EF1 and fitting to cool in the 

shade

• 

Wait for ambient temperature to return 

to range

5

No output 

current  

(open circuit)

Loose connection to 

terminal pin

Loose contact in the 

welding circuit

Faulty fitting

Start button not 

depressed for long 

enough

• 

Make sure connectors are pushed 

firmly on to terminal pins

• 

Check welding cable connection and 

continuity

• 

Move generator closer and use shorter 

extension  cord

• 

Replace fitting

• 

See operating sequence, step 5

6

Low output 

current

Resistance value of 

fitting is too high

Too many fittings 

connected in series 

(Primary mode only)

Input voltage too low

• 

Use only UPP™ electrofusion fittings 

and correct welding cable

• 

Check resistance codes on fittings - do 

not exceed a sum total of 10

• 

Check supply voltage

• 

Check extension leads being used are 

to specification

7

High output 

current

Regulation error in 

electronics

• 

Switch off machine and switch on 

again after 10 seconds. 

• 

Ensure welder is within temperature 

range

• 

If problem persists, return EF1 to 

supplier

The EF1 can be reset after a fault has been remedied by pressing and holding 

the START / STOP button for 3 seconds.
