OPERATOR COMPETENCY It is highly recommended that operatives undertaking pin brazing for any form of attachment should have attended a BAC approved training course in the pin brazing technique and hold a current certificate of competency. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
PIN BRAZING CONSUMABLES (Brazing Pins, Ceramic Ferrules and Cable Lugs) The Easybond MKII Pin Brazing unit uses BAC fused pins to make the electrical connections. Each brazing pin is tipped with low temperature brazing alloy and the correct amount of flux, and has attached a copper fuse wire at the other end, which acts as a timed circuit breaker to control the duration of the braze.
Power control unit with battery pack (Part # 273 199 5610) 42V Grinder Part # 273 199 0680 (no longer in production) BAC battery charger (mains) (Part # 273 199 5020) or In car battery charger VEPAC (Part # 273 199 5040)
Whilst on charge the battery status must ONLY be monitored via the LED’s on the battery charger unit. See section 10, Battery charger. Do not attempt to braze when the unit is in standby, recovery or re-charge mode. BAC Document Number: Easybond MKII Manual V03 28/08/13 Page 10 of 32...
CABLE LUGS BAC cable lugs are specially manufactured in the intended material for pin brazing. The lugs are made in three different types. M1 is pin brazed to the cable. M2 is crimped to the cable and the “stinger” is pin brazed with the cable. The “stinger” permanently connects anode wires with a small diameter to pipes utilising the unique silver alloy BAC pin brazing method, without the use of cable lugs, crimping or old exothermic reactions.
