The ele trofusion units BEAT-MV and BEAT-2 are designed to arry out polyethylene
(PE) or polypropylene (PP) pipe/fittings joints through ele trofusion fittings with a range
of 8 V to 48 V ele trofusion voltage.
This User Manual orresponds to the following models:
BEAT-MV Ele trofusion unit whi h the ele trofusion parameters are entered
manually. No tra eability.
BEAT-2 Ele trofusion unit that the ele trofusion parameters an be entered
manually or by bar ode system. No tra eability.
The BEAT-MV ele trofusion unit re eives the relevant data of the fitting via operator’s
manual introdu tion: VOLTAGE and TIME from the fitting manufa turer. Take into a ount
that some fitting manufa turers provide different fusion times a ording to ambient
temperature. Refer to the fitting manufa turer’s instru tions.
The BEAT-2, in addition of the data manual input is also able to enter the ele trofusion
parameters by means of a bar ode automati re ognition system.
These models an be optionally supplied as AR Series (High Performan e) with the same
original te hni al spe ifi ations, ex ept for having a higher duty y le. The AR series is
espe ially indi ated for ongoing ele trofusion of large size fittings and for very hot

CHAPTER 3: MODE OF USE
3.1 FUSION PROCEDURE FOR ELECTROFUSION FITTINGS
3.1.1 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 degreasing towel or with a clean, dry white cloth
(which does not shed lint), dampened with isopropanol or recommended PE solvent.
3.1.2 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 over a
pipe from a roll, the placement of an aligner-rounder tool is indispensable. Next install the
fitting over 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 -5°C to
+45°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 previous preparation tasks
(scraping, degreasing, etc).

3.1.3 Unit connection:
Connect the unit to a 230 V ± 15%/50-60 Hz mains source (or to
a 110 V, according to market requirement) 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 control box mains is plugged must be normalized and fitted with
differential and ground pin. Refer to the generator’s User Manual.
Connection to the mains: the building electric installation where the
control box mains is plugged must be fitted with earth connection as
well as circuit breaker.
Do not unplug the mains pulling from the cable.
BEAT-2: connect the scanner before switching on the unit.
Checking the fitting connection cable terminals before starting up the
unit is advised. There are different types of adopters depending on the
type pf fitting to be used.
ØSet the master switch in the ON position.

pressing START you will be able to move to the next screen. However, if the unit is set
up with locking subsequently the unit will not be able to be used until the TMS has been
carried out.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE OUT OF RANGE
If the ambient temperature is not within -20/C and 50/C [from software version v. 1.21
(previous software versions -15/C and 50/C)] or the temperature sensor is defective, with
data entry via bar code the following message will be displayed:
TEMPERATURE
OUT OF RANGE Pressing the key START/VALIDATE automatically switches to manual mode.
NOTE: In the case of faulty probe, send the unit to the STPAcuster’s After-sale Service.
INTERNAL FAULT
If the software detects that there is a voltage output through the electrofusion cables out
of the electrofusion cycle, the display shows the following message:
SERIOUS TROUBLE
TURN OFF UNIT The unit will be blocked and the buzzer will be permanently
activated. Switch off immediately the unit.
NOTE: If case to have an electrofusion fitting connected, check if it has suffered damage.
Send the unit to the STPAcuster’s After-sale Service.
LOW BATTERY
In case to detect a battery voltage below the minimum required, the display will indicate:
SERVICE
FLAT BATTERY Send the unit to the STPAcuster’s After-sale Service for the replacement of the battery.
Pressing the START button, the display shows the date and time to update it (refer to
paragraph DATE/TIME of section 3.2.4 of this Manual). This update will keep for some
time if the battery is not replaced, especially with the unit disconnected from the mains.
From the time the unit is started up, a verification of the input voltage is performed. If the
voltage registered by the unit is above or below the tolerance allowed (195-265 V for
nominal 230Vac and 90-140 V for nominal 110Vac ), one of the following messages will
appear on the display:
POWER SUPPLY ERROR
265/140V 65Hz Appears when the input voltage or frequency is over 265/140 Vac and 65 Hz, respectively.
POWER SUPPLY ERROR
195/90V 45Hz Appears when the input voltage or frequency is under 195/90 Vac and 45 Hz, respectively.
Check the power supply (generator) and correct the defect. It is not necessary to switch
the unit off and switch it on again to refresh the input voltage.

3.1.4 Using the Barcode Reader (BEAT-2):
If you read the different data (operator’s ID, job ID, fittings, pipe, etc) by using optical
means (scanner), connect the reader device into the corresponding connector and put it
in front of the barcode data.
ATTENTION !
The scanner should be correctly setup. In case no data is captured by the
device, carry out the following barcode reading.
Software version
# v. 1.23 Software version $ v. 1.24
Laser scanner: When reading, the connected scanner emits a red laser line of a particular
length. To capture the barcode data, place the scanner so that the laser line coincides
longitudinally with the barcode. The distance will depend on the size of the barcode to
read. Once the scanner has been placed in position, the laser line will stop flashing and
remain fixed. When this happens, press any of the three buttons on the top of the
scanner.

3.1.5 Fitting connection:
Connect the unit cable connectors in the fitting terminals to be jointed. The contact
surfaces of both the fitting’s terminals and the cable connectors must always be clean.
NOTE !
We advise you to always use adapters, even
though the connection to the fitting may be made
directly. Doing so, the cable terminals are
protected, do not wear out, burn, etc.
It is recommend refraining from electrofusion if the exterior temperature
is below -10/C or above +45/C.
