Start-up Before working with the induction welding tool, the project parameters must be entered into the display. The parameters required are the waterproof membrane material and thickness. The following options are available: Note: the settings (parameters) used last will be loaded. It is possible to either adopt these settings or make new selections of the following settings.
Calibration When should the tool be calibrated? • every morning before starting work • when moving to another building site • when working with a different material (PVC instead of TPO or vice-versa, thinner or thicker waterproof membrane) • change from 110V to 230V or vice-versa •...
Test welding SFS intec recommends that a test weld be carried out after calibration and before starting installation. Position a stress plate on a level, heat-resistant base and place a piece of the waterproof membrane to be used on it. Carry out a test weld (see section on welding operation).
min. 2 mm correct overdriven underdriven Before carring out the welding, SFS intec recommends marking the position of the stress plates on the top face of the waterproof membrane.
