INTRODUCTION SAFETY • UPP® welding units must only be used outside hazardous areas (zones 0, 1 and2). Hazardous area definitions are from European Directive 1999/92/EC (further guidelines can be found in the APEA Blue Book 2nd Edition).Further guidelines are found in IEC 60079-10- 1, “Explosive atmospheres - Part 10-1: Classification of areas - Explosive gas atmospheres”...
APPLICATION The EF1 is designed to automatically weld UPP® Primary and Secondary Containment electrofusion fittings, Electrofusion Chambers and Large diameter 10 amp fittings. This is done by using color-coded welding leads as shown below. TYPE OF FITTING WELDING CABLE COLOR WELDING PIN SIZE CURRENT WELD TIME @ 20°...
USING THE EF1 • 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. •...
MULTIPLE WELDS In Primary mode the EF1 can simultaneously weld up to three UPP® fittings, provided that: • The sum of the resistance values (circled number on UPP® fittings) does not exceed 10. • The UPP® fittings are connected to the EF1 in series using the bridging leads provided. You can ensure that you have connected the fittings correctly and that the welds are successful by checking that all of the connected fittings get warm and that all of the indicator pins are exposed at the end of the welding time.
• 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.
