Page 6: Intended Use
ATS 180 ATS180 - Operator Manual Intended Use This equipment is intended to weld constant voltage electrofusion fittings suitable for low, medium and high pressure pipe work systems. This welding unit has been designed to comply with the International Organization for Standardization standard ISO12176-2:2000 “Plastic pipes and fittings, equipment for fusion...
Page 7: Electrical Safety
ATS 180 ATS180 - Operator Manual Electrical Safety WARNING! Switch off and remove the plug from the mains before adjusting, cleaning or if the cable is cut, damaged or entangled. This welding unit is Class 1 and requires an earthed (grounded) connection. An earth spike must be used with generators.
Page 8: Duty Cycle
ATS 180 ATS180 - Operator Manual Duty Cycle The equipment is designed for everyday use on connection size fittings up to 110mm diameter. It can also weld fittings up to 200mm diameter (8”) but with a reduced duty cycle. Larger diameter fittings generate a lot of heat within the equipment and it must be allowed to cool down between fusion cycles.
Page 9: Using The Equipment
ATS 180 ATS180 - Operator Manual Using the equipment Prepare and clamp the pipe and fittings inline with the manufacturers recommendations. Connect the supply cable to the correct supply voltage and switch the unit on. The screen will show the model number and software version. It will also show the current date and the calibration due date.
Page 10: Data Entry
ATS 180 ATS180 - Operator Manual Data Entry Letters and numbers are entered using the arrow buttons. Using the up and down arrows will scroll through the list of A to Z and 1 to 9. When the correct letter has been chosen, pressing the right arrow button will move to the next position.
Page 11 ATS 180 ATS180 - Operator Manual Welding Welding modes: Bar Code Manual Data Logging Connect the welding cable to the fitting and the screen will show Read the bar code on the fitting. If the code is read correctly then a message will be displayed saying “Read OK”.
Page 12: Welding
ATS 180 ATS180 - Operator Manual The welding voltage and current will be displayed to allow the operator to confirm the welding process is correct. When the weld is complete, the following screen will be displayed: The cooling time will now count up. This is to help the operator know when the weld ended and will continue to count up until the lead is disconnected from the fitting.
Page 13 ATS 180 ATS180 - Operator Manual MANUAL ENTRY If the bar code pen does not work or the bar code label on the fitting has been damaged and there are no numbers shown on the label, then the time and voltage can be entered manually.
Page 14 ATS 180 ATS180 - Operator Manual DATA LOGGING If data logging information is required, on the “Connect Fitting Screen” press the STOP button. The screen will show: Enter the Operator Name press the OK button. The screen will now show: Enter the Location and press the OK button.
Page 15: Options Menu
ATS 180 ATS180 - Operator Manual Options Menu When the display shows the “Connect Fitting” message, pressing the OK button will enter the options menu. Press OK and the display will show: Use the up and down arrows to scroll through the options. When the required option is shown press the left or right arrow to select it.

The date will be set to dd/mm/yy and the temperature to Celsius. US Date & Fahrenheit Operator This will change the format of the date and temperature into US Imperial format.
Page 18 ATS 180 ATS180 - Operator Manual Warranty Information Operator This will display the warranty information for the unit, when it was sold and what the weld counter was. First Use Date Operator This will show the date the unit was first used from new:...
Page 19 ATS 180 ATS180 - Operator Manual Display Ohm Meter Operator This will display the resistance of the fitting connected to the welding cable. This option can be used for fault finding, to make sure the welding unit is measuring the fitting resistance correctly.
Page 20 ATS 180 ATS180 - Operator Manual Barcode Ohms Required Supervisor In bar code welding, the actual resistance of the fitting is matched against the information in the bar code label. This option will force the checking of the fitting resistance. If there is a difference, the weld will not be allowed to continue.

Page 23: Fault Finding
ATS 180 ATS180 - Operator Manual Fault Finding During operation, the welding unit monitors all aspects of its operation. If a fault occurs then an error message will be shown. 0: Weld OK No Fault, weld completed OK. 1: Stuck button on start up This fault shows when the power is first switched on.
Page 24 ATS 180 ATS180 - Operator Manual 8: Ambient temperature more than +50ºC. The unit has detected that the ambient temperature sensor has broken or a wire has gone open circuit. The unit must be returned to a service agent for repair.
Page 25 ATS 180 ATS180 - Operator Manual 21: High output volts (+1.25%) This fault will happen if the output voltage is 1.25% higher than the set point for more than 3 seconds. It will normally be caused by a poor quality generator with the supply voltage fluctuating.
Page 26 ATS 180 ATS180 - Operator Manual 40: Bar Code Invalid: Temperature Compensation Digits 22 and 23 of the bar code have been decoded incorrectly. 41: Bar Code Invalid: Resistance Coefficient Digit 18 of the bar code has been decoded incorrectly.
