This equipment is intended to weld constant voltage electrofusion ttings suitable for low,
medium and high pressure pipe work systems.
This welding unit has been designed to comply with the International Organization for
Standardization standard ISO12176-2:2000 “Plastic pipes and ttings, equipment for fusion
jointing polyethylene systems , part 2, electrofusion”.
This manual gives instructions on the correct assembly and safe use of your welding unit. It
is important that you read these instructions carefully, and keep these instructions for the
life of the unit.
This manual does not detail the specic welding procedure for the ttings: scraping,
clamping and assembly of joints. For this information you must contact the manufacturer of
the ttings.
Carefully remove the welding unit from its packaging and check that you have the following
items:
• Welding unit.
• Bar code reading pen (not Manual unit)
When parts are missing or damaged, please contact your dealer.

Electrical Safety
WARNING! Switch o and remove the plug from the mains before adjusting,
cleaning or if the cable is cut, damaged or entangled.
This welding unit is Class 1 and requires an earthed (grounded) connection. An earth
spike must be used with generators.
This unit is supplied in either 110 volt or 230 volt operation. Check the rating plate
on the side of the unit for the correct supply voltage.
The power source must be capable of providing 3500 Watts.
Extension cables should only be used if they comply with the H07RNF harmonized
standard. They must be tted with connectors to the BS EN 60309-2 standard. All
cables must be unwound from the reel to stop inductive heating eects. The cable
dimensions should be as follows:
It is recommended for increased electrical safety to use a Residual Current Device
(RCD) with a tripping current of not more than 30 mA. Always check your RCD every
time you use it.
The supply cable must be inspected for signs of damage before each use and the
equipment may only be used if in perfect condition. Damaged cables must be
replaced by an approved service agent.
This equipment is classied as “Portable for use on industrial applications”, and
must undergo a formal electrical safety check (Portable Appliance Test) as per local
regulations.
110V Volt operation
Up to 63mm diameter
2.5mm2 cable = 30m

Prepare and clamp the pipe and ttings inline with the manufacturers
recommendations. Connect the supply cable to the correct supply voltage and switch
the unit on.
The screen will show the model number and software version. It will also show the
current date and the calibration due date.
After a short pause the owner details will be shown.
The display will now show the “Connect Fitting” screen.
Connect the welding cable to the tting to begin the welding process.
Press the STOP button to enter the data logging menu (on the EXTRA unit only).
Press the OK button to enter the options menu.
The supply voltage and frequency are shown. This allows the operator to check the
quality of the power supply before welding starts.
