5. Range of fitting dimensions
The range of fitting dimensions for which an electrofusion control unit can be used depends essentially on
the power consumption of the used fittings. Since the power consumption of the fittings is different for
different fitting manufacturers, it is not possible to provide a general rule which covers all the possible fitting
dimensions. When in doubt, each fitting size has to be checked separately. For electrofusion control units of
type Monomatic, Monomatic (Bluetooth), Monomatic Data USB and Monomatic Data USB (Bluetooth), when
all welding work is performed successively, such that the control unit has pauses in welding that correspond
to the preparation time of the next fitting, the following rule applies:
Welding time Requirements
20 s to 600 s
Usable without restrictions.
750 s to 900 s
Longer cool-down times must be provided for because otherwise the device might
show the "Device too hot" error message. In this case, it is necessary to let the
electrofusion control unit cool down before putting it to use again.
>900 s
Only couplers that have a welding time of 900 s or below can be welded.
Attention!
For welding of couplers in with a welding time of 900
s a stable and continuous supply voltage of
230 V is mandatory. When using a generator, it must be set to a no load voltage of between 240
V
and 260 V.
The electrofusion control units of type Monomatic,
Monomatic (Bluetooth), Monomatic Data
USB and Monomatic Data USB (Bluetooth) can only be used together with SmartFuse-
capable fittings and couplers.
Before processing fittings in this dimension range, you have to check that the welding current demand of the
fitting does not continuously exceed the output current of the device and that the maximum output current is
not exceeded.
The above rule assumes an ambient temperature of 20 °C.
