Fusion process
2.5.1
Barcode insertion
If the machine is properly connected to the fitting, the control unit checks the fitting
resistance and displays it to the user.
The user has two ways of inserting the fusion parameter using the barcode information:
Either reading the code with the scanner
Or, if the data cannot be read with these devices for any reason, the user can
manually enter the 24 digits printed on the barcode by pressing the () button to
go into "edit" mode and then using () and () to select the required value and
the () button to select the next digit. Once the 24 digits are entered,
START/OK ( I ).
As soon as the data are correctly read, the machine will compare the measured fitting
resistance with the nominal value written into the barcode. In case they match, the
electro-fusion unit will confirm with a beep and show on the display a summary of the
captured fusion parameters: fitting details and time of the welding process.
If the value of the fitting resistance doesn't match with the barcode data, the display
shows an error message. Then the user has press the STOP/ESC (O) button, and re-enter the
data.
Common issues causing an error at this stage are the fusion cables
connected and/or affected by faults. If the fusion cables are integral, the user should
double check the fitting and the related bar code, and then repeat the entire procedure.
If the problem still remains, the fitting and the barcode shall be replaced.
