CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL
The e ectrofusion units of the range BEAT HF are designed to carry out po yethy ene (PE)
and po ypropy ene (PP) pipe/fittings joints through e ectrofusion fittings with a range of
8 V to 48 V e ectrofusion vo tage.
This User Manual app ies to a commercia ized mode s:
BEAT HF-MV E ectrofusion unit which the e ectrofusion parameters are entered
manua y. No traceabi ity.
BEAT HF-2 E ectrofusion unit that the e ectrofusion parameters can be entered
manua y or by bar-code system. No traceabi ity.
BEAT HF (Tr) E ectrofusion unit with manua and automatic (via scanner) enter
of the e ectrofusion parameters and with traceabi ity.
The BEAT HF-MV e ectrofusion unit receives the re evant data of the fitting via operator’s
manua introduction: VOLTAGE and TIME from the fitting manufacturer. Take into account
that some fitting manufacturers provide different fusion times according to ambient
temperature. Refer to the fitting manufacturer’s instructions.
The BEAT HF-2, in addition of the data manua input is a so ab e to enter the
e ectrofusion parameters by means of a bar-code automatic recognition system.
The BEAT HF (Tr version), receives the re evant data of the fitting via the bar code
system and a so by operator’s manua input and is provided with fu traceabi ity, so it
a ows the data entry such as operator’s ID, job order ID, additiona data and fitting
traceabi ity. The unit stores a this data in its memory for further treatment.
The technica data contained in this Manual are pure y informative and may be changed
at anytime. ACUSTER GLOBAL, S.L. dec ines a responsibi ity for c aims arising from

CHAPTER 2: UNIT’S DESCRIPTION
2.1 GENERAL
The electrofusion units BEAT HF are externally made up of a metal casing with a rear
cover which constitutes the power unit, in which is mounted outside a heatsink and an
optional fan.
The model 2008 (Figures 3a, 3b and 3c), the metal casing is assembled on a stainless
steel tubular frame which allows to adjust to the desired angle, a master switch, USB/A
and USB-B connectors (BEAT HF-Tr only) and serial connector for the different
applications, the mains and electrofusion cables (all of three replaceable without opening
the casing). The front part is formed by a membrane which incorporates tactile push-
buttons to enter the data and a back-lit graphic LCD display.
Inside, the unit is formed by a power board, a processor board (CPU), in addition to all
of the electronics necessary for the electrofusion process, current and voltage controls.

(USB for BEAT HF-Tr only)
The model 2015 (Figure 3d) the metal casing is more compact and has a carrying
handle, which is in turn serving as cables reel. On the front the main switch, a serial port
and a USB/A port are mounted.

CHAPTER 3: MODE OF USE
3.1 FUSION PROCEDURE FOR ELECTROFUSION FITTINGS
3.1.1 Introduction:
The assembly jobs and the PE network electrofusion should always be carried out by
specifically trained personnel and strictly following the manufacturer’s instructions, both
for the fittings as well as the fusion equipment. In the gas sector in Spain, to give an
example, this training is given by specialised centres adhering to technical specifications
edited by Sedigás and which are available in pdf format at www.sedigas.es (PE welder’s
certification).
3.1.2 Scraping pipe surfaces:
First clean the surface to be scraped with a clean lint-free dry cloth. The length to be
cleaned will depend on the size of the fitting to be used, adding a minimum additional
margin of 50 mm on each end.
Scrape the area of the pipe or pipes where the fitting to be joined will be installed. The
length of the scraping should be greater than that of the fitting.
IMPORTANT !
The scraping of the pipe should generate swarfs. This ensures the
elimination of the pipe’s most exterior oxidation, which would otherwise
lead to a dissatisfactory electrofusion joint.
Next clean the scraped area with a de-greasing towel or with a clean, dry white cloth
(which does not shed lint), dampened with isopropanol or recommended PE solvent.
3.1.3 Fitting installation:
For joints of tapping saddles and branch saddles, place a rounder on each side of the
scraped area if the fusion is performed over a bar pipe. If the joint is performed on a pipe
from a roll, the placement of an aligner-rounder tool is indispensable. Next install the
fitting on the pipe.
If the fitting to be jointed is a coupler, reducer or elbow, remove it from its wrapping, and
without touching its interior, install it on the scraped and cleaned pipe. Now assemble the
aligner and the other specially-prepared pipe or fitting.
Electrofusion joints should only be carried out by
qualified staff.
Protect the area where electrofusions area carried out
from adverse weather conditions, such as rain, snow or
wind. Admissible temperatures range from -10°C to
+40°C. In order to achieve a uniform temperature in
the whole diameter of the pipes, protect the fusion area
against sunrays or bad weather.
The quality of the joint depends substantially on the
care taken in the preliminary preparation tasks (scrap-
ing, de-greasing, etc). Figure 8

3.2 UNIT PREPARATION
3.2.1 Unit connection:
Connect the unit to a 230 V ± 15%/50-60 Hz mains source of
alternating current. For generator group specifications, please refer
to CHAPTER 6: TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS.
IMPORTANT NOTES !
Connection to a generator: the generator electric connection where
the electrofusion unit is plugged in must be normalized and fitted with
differential and ground pin. Refer to the generator’s User Manual.
Connection to the mains: the electric installation of the building where
the electrofusion unit is plugged in must be fitted with earth connection
as well as circuit breaker type D (EN 60898).
Do not unplug the mains by pulling on the cable.
3.2.2 Positioning of the unit in the work area (model 2008):
The control unit may be positioned according to the needs of the operator. It can be in a
fully vertical position (or even slightly tilted backwards) or tilted up to 20º off vertical.
Figure 9a: Fully vertical position Figure 9b: Maximum tilted position
To alter the tilt of the unit casing, loosen the two side knobs, position according to need
and then tighten both knobs once again.
3.2.3 Start up of unit:
Set the master switch in the On position.
IMPORTANT NOTES !
Because the unit allows the use of an optic pen or scanner indistinctly,
connect the barcode reader to be used before switching on the unit so it
will be recognized.
Checking the terminals of the connecting cables to the fitting before
starting up the unit is advised. There are different types of adapters
depending on the type of fitting to be used. Refer to clause 3.4.1 Fitting
connection.

3.2.4 Using the barcode reader (not for BEAT HF-MV):
If you read the different data (operator’s ID, job ID, fitting, pipe, etc) by using optical
means (scanner), connect the reader device to the corresponding connector and put it in
front of the barcode data.
Laser scanner: When reading, the con
nected scanner emits a red laser ray of a
particular length. To read the barcode
data, place the scanner so that the laser
ray coincides longitudinally with the
barcode. The distance will depend on the
size of the barcode to be read. Once the
scanner has been placed in position, the
laser ray will stop flashing and remain
fixed. When this happens, press any of
the three buttons on the top of the scan-
ner. Figure 10b: Example of using laser scanner
ATTENTION !
The scanner should be correctly setup. In case no data is captured by the
device, carry out the following barcode reading.
NOTE !
If none of the options on the setup menu have been enabled on BEAT
HF-Tr, such as operator’s ID, job’s ID, additional data or traceability,
skip clause 3.3 - TRACEABILITY and go directly to clause 3.4 -
