compatible printer, or a PC with the management and database ap-
plication DataWork.
The welder performs the welding process in the following manner:
• Pipes are clamped into the frame.
If pipes with an outside diameter smaller than the maximum
dimension of the machine are welded, select the reducer set
needed. The 8 individual inserts of the set that matches the out-
side diameter of the pipe to be welded have to be attached to
the clamps of the machine chassis using the provided bolts.
• In the manual mode, applicable welding times and pressures are
looked up in the overview tables in the appendix.
• In the SPG mode, the mandatory and the optional component
traceability data are entered in the menus on the screen.
• Pipe butts are worked using the pipe facing tool.
• Pipe alignment is checked.
• The drag pressure, i.e. the minimum pressure to set the carriage
in motion and "drag" it along, is recorded at the machine.
• The pressures relevant to the welding operation are set.
• The heating element is inserted after cleaning it and checking
the temperature.
• The welding process proper is performed (see section 4), and the
operator waits for the jointed pipes to cool down.
• After the cooling time is over, pressure can be removed from
the pipes (in the manual mode by the welder, in the SPG mode
automatically by the machine) and the joint can be taken out of
the chassis.

Operation

Before the control unit is turned on, check the oil level of
the hydraulic and control unit and fill up HF-E 15 hydraulic
oil as needed.
Important
The surfaces of the heating element have to be free of grease
and clean, or they have to be cleaned.
Important
Make sure all connectors are tight in their sockets and note
that operation on a work site is only acceptable if the power
supply has earth-leakage circuit breakers.
Important
After the power supply cord was connected to the mains power supply
or a generator, the machine is ready for operation.
It has to be ensured that the voltage of the power source the
machine is connected to corresponds to the rated voltage of
the machine. Also the following has to be respected when
using extension cables:
Caution
For 230 V power: wire section 2.5 mm² = max. 75 m long
4.1 Configuring the Machine, Entering Welding Parameters
After the machine was connected to power, Display 1 appears on the
screen.
The machine will then automatically start the auto-test process to
check the sensors and the system clock and to determine the number
of free welding reports. This test can be bypassed by holding down
the STOP/RESET key when Display 1 is showing.
