7 Fusion preparation
7.1 General information
The fusion area should be protected against the influences of weather
(humidity, ambient temperature <+ 5 °C, extreme direct exposure to sun)
with such measures as pre-warming the fusion materials, tents, heating.
For optimal use of the IM 160, operating personnel should be specially
trained by Georg Fischer Omicron s.r.l.. In-depth knowledge of the
machine and it´s components and competence rule out handling errors
thereby also preventing faulty fusion joints.
7.2 Preparations
1. Mount the heating element on the bracket.
Danger of electric shock!
Inspect the electrical cords and devices!
Do not connect damaged cords or devices to the power supply.
Check the voltage!
2. Connect the heater (2) plug to the socket mounted on the planer
and then the planer (3) plug to the electric mains.
3. Set the correct fusing temperature at the heater (2) using the
temperature-control knob (11).
Function of the control lamps:
– Red and green lamps are lit during heat-up. Once the fusing
temperature is reached, the red lamp starts flashing.
Before beginning with the first fusion, we recommend waiting approx. 10
minutes after the set fusion temperature has been reached to allow for
even heat distribution.
4. Check the fusion surfaces with a quick-indication temperature
measurement device for the set temperature.
Danger of burning!
The heater is hot (210 – 240 °C)!
Danger of burning hands on the hot heater.
Do not touch the heater when on.
Use the handles on the heater.
