3.1.12 Electrofusion process:
WARNING !
In order to guarantee a good electrofusion, it is recommendable not to
reuse a fitting in which the fusion cycle has been interrupted.
Ú The unit has initiated the electrofusion cycle. The time and countdown till you get to zero
will come on the display in seconds. The START/VALIDATE led will flash during the whole
cycle.
ON PROCESS... I AG
d20 40.0V 34s
Where the data corresponds to an Agru coupler of
diameter 20, 40 Volt and 34 seconds.
The input voltage is checked during the start up phase of the electrofusion cycle. During
this phase it is considered that the unit – especially for a generator – will stabilize its
energy supply. The unit verifies if the input voltage and electrofusion current are within
the established range (voltage: 165-265 V for 230Vac nominal voltage and 80-140 V for
110Vac nominal voltage; current >2A <70A). Once overpassed this initial phase, the
above mentioned voltage and current values are continuously checked during the whole
electrofusion cycle. If electrofusion data were entered using a barcode, the unit should
also check that the fitting resistance corresponds to that of the fitting connected and that
it is within the tolerances assigned by the manufacturer. This will be done when the unit
starts the electrofusion cycle.
If the resistance is not correct, the display will show the following messages, where
appropriate:
FAILURE OF FITTING
RESISTENCE TOO HIGH
When the fitting resistance read by the unit is higher
than allowed. Corresponds to ERR1.
FAILURE OF FITTING
RESISTENCE TOO LOW
When the fitting resistance read by the unit is lower
than allowed. Corresponds to ERR8.
Check the fitting, connections, etc., and restart the cycle.
When the fusion cycle has ended satisfactorily, the display will show the following
message:
BEAT-TR No.0019
CORRECT FUSION
The upper message is dis-
played alternately.
COOLING TIME 10'
CORRECT FUSION
The top line of the display alternately shows the messages listed above.
Where No. 0019 corresponds to the internal numbering of the unit’s electrofusions and
10' corresponds to the cooling time indicated in the fitting bar code.
The fusion process can be stopped at any time by pressing the STOP key. The cycle will
then stop and the display will show the following message:
