Note: EF1 welding cables use special 7 pin connectors. Parts Bridging cables (x2) Electrofusion Welder 7pin Secondary welding cable 7 pin Primary and Gemini Secondary welding cable Power cable 7 Pin Fusion chamber welding cable Application The EF1 is designed to automatically weld UPP™ Primary and Secondary Containment electrofusion fittings, Electrofusion Chambers and Large diameter 10 amp fittings.
Main Features UPP™ electrofusion fittings are welded using a constant current. The EF1 automatically recognizes the fitting when connected and applies the correct amount of energy for a successful weld. 7 pin Weld cable Power on Indicator connector ON / OFF Switch (on Fault side of unit) indicator...
Using the EF • Ensure that the machine is positioned outside hazardous zones ATEX 0, 1 and 2. • Allow the machine and fittings to reach the ambient temperature of the site. • Keep the machine out of direct sunlight and free of any obstruction. •...
• Electrical Safety Testing “Portable Appliance Test” (PAT) should be carried out in accordance with local legislation. • It is recommended that the welder is returned to Franklin Fueling Systems on a regular basis, at around 3 year intervals, for checking and recalibrating.
Fault Indicators When an error has occurred during the weld cycle that will have an effect on the success of the joint, the red warning LED on the right side of the display will light up. Also one of the “weld progress” lights will light up at the same time to show what type of fault has occurred.
