Rev.: 2004-001-DE 5
2 Scope of application and technical data
2.1 Scope of application
The electro fusion control units of type Polymatic / Polymatic Light are exclusively for the electro
fusion of thermoplastic pipes (e.g. made of PE-HD, PE80. PE100 or PP) by use of electro fusion
fittings with an welding voltage lower than 48V . The control units are conform to the standard DVS
2208-1 as well as the ISO 12176-2, which refer to the standards applicable for the electro fusion fittings
to be used.
It is not allowed to use the electro fusion controllers, to which the present instruction manual refers to,
for an application not covered by the above stated terms. The manufacturer is not liable for the use of
the machine out of the scope of application.
2.2 Input of welding parameters
The electro fusion controllers of type Polymatic / Polymatic Light provide the following means for
entering the welding parameters:
BARCODE (ISO-TR 13950, Type 2/5i, 24 digits)
The barcode attached on the most electro fusion fittings in the market contains all necessary data for
processing them. After reading the barcode with the reading device, the process data is automatically
taken over by the control unit. The barcodes contains mainly the following data: Manufacturer, type,
diameter, fusion voltage, fusion time (with temperature correction, if applicable), resistance and
resistance tolerance.
FUSAMATIC-System:
By reading out the reference resistance in the connector pins of the FUSAMATIC-Fitting the control
unit automatically takes over the welding data of the fitting.
2.3 Range of fitting dimensions
For which range of fitting dimensions a electro fusion control unit can be used depends essentially on
the power consumption to the used fittings itself. Since the power consumption of the fittings are
different for different fitting manufacturers, a general statement concerning this point is hardly to make.
In case of doubt, each single case has to be checked separately. For electro fusion control units of the
type Polymatic / Polymatic Light the following general statement can be made, with the assumption,
that all welding processes were made one after the other, i.e. that the control unit is able to cool down
during the preparation time of the next fitting:
Polymatic: Use for dimension 20-630mm without any limit.
Polymatic Light: Use for dimension 20-355mm without any limit.
For larger diameters there must be provided longer off-times to ensure a cooling down of the control
unit (Error message “Device too hot”). Before processing fittings in this dimension range, you have to
check that the welding current of the fitting does not exceed the maximum output current of the control
unit.
All above made statements refer to an ambient temperature of 20°C.

•Plug out welding device before turning off the generator.
•The usable generator power will decrease by 10% per 1000m height.
•Check the fuel lever before starting the welding process.

Rev.: 2004-001-DE 11
5.1 Generator suitability
The Electro Fusion Controllers of type Polymatic / Polymatic Light provide the following means to
increase the generator suitability:
•Wide tolerance for input voltage and Input frequency.
•Display of current input voltage and frequency.
•Soft-Start for limitation of the generator load.
Despite this characteristics, the generators to be used have to fulfil the following requirements and
recommends, in order to avoid damaged of the control unit and to ensure that the internal monitoring
function of the control unit will not interrupt the welding process:
•suitable to drive inductive loads and phase cut systems
•no-load voltage adjustable to 240V – 260V at nominal 230V (nominal 110V: 120V – 130V (AC)).
•output current of 18 Amps at one phase at nominal 230V (nominal 110V: 36Amps).
•stable output voltage and engine speed, also at fast alternating loads
•synchronous generators with mechanical speed control preferred
•voltage peaks must no exceed 800V
Min. required generator output power 230V, 50Hz, 1-phase
Diameter Output Power
20-75 mm 2kW
90-160 mm 3,2kW
180-710mm 4.5kW (mechanically controlled)
5kW (electronically controlled)
For generators with insufficient control performance or voltage control it has to be selected 3-3.5 times
higher output power than the stated ones to achieve an undisturbed operation. Electronically controlled
generators tent to oscillate with the control of the welding process, which can lead to high output
voltage peaks. Please, test suitability before using that kind of generators.
Manufactures like HONDA, EISEMANN, GEKO, FISCHER, PANDA and KIRSCH provide generators
performed especially for this kind of application.
Caution: 110V Control Units shall not be used at 230V power supply and vice versa.

Error messages will be shown in the last row. In case of generator use check that the voltage is at
about 240-260V at nominal 230V (nominal 110V: 120V – 130V (AC)).
For welding in the Barcode-Mode, read in the barcode label, which is attached to the fitting you want to
process. If it is not readable because of damage, you can use by the way of exception the readable
barcode of an identical fitting of the same manufacturer. In any case it is forbidden to use the
barcode of a different fitting. If you read in a barcode which is defect or invalid the error will be
displayed and indicated by a bleep. You read in the barcode by using the scanner or reading pen.
Using the reading pen:
Place the tip of the reading pen left or right beside the bar code. Move the reading pen with a constant
speed over the whole barcode. Do not stop the movement or lift the reading pen off.
You read-in the barcode by using the scanner or reading pen. If the device detects a valid barcode, it
