    Instrukcja 3.1 Construction Electrofusion welding units BLUEBOX 1.0 are equipped with ABS-made casing permanently embedded in steel transport box.. CPU board, power board, transformer and display are all mounted inside the casing. CPU board is responsible for controlling the functions of the device by measuring the voltage and current and controls the duration of subsequent stages of welding process.

    3.1.4 Identification plates Identification plate includes technical characteristics of given model and unique serial number of the device. The plate is attached to the front part of metal transport case in models BLUEBOX 1.0. 3.1.5 Barcode scanner Barcode scanner constitutes part of additional equipment options. It’s connected to the welding unit via M12 port. Barcode scanner uses a laser beam to scan and decode the information contained in the barcode.
  • Page 11: Acoustic Signal

    INFORMATION Protect the tip of the reader and the scanner window from damage and contamination! The state of the scanner window directly affects the operation of the scanner. 3.1.6 Acoustic signal generation electrofusion welding units use acoustic signal as a confirmation of certain actions performed by the operator. These signals serve as a confirmation of correctly scanned barcode, finishing the welding process or error signalization.
  • Page 12: Welding Process

    Instrukcja Connect the power supply cable to the AC power outlet. Turn on the device by turning the main switch to position “1” ON 4. WELDING PROCESS The electrofusion welding process is based on the use of heat, which is released when the current flows through the resistance wire to heat the inner surface of the fitting and the outer surface of the pipe.
  • Page 13: Operating Instructions

    Make sure if the welding unit has CE marking, valid calibration certificate and verify if the power supply source provides correct parameters. Connect the output cables to the fitting Make sure the electrofusion adaptors match the fitting’s pins If the device is equipped with additional options such as barcode scanner or thermal printer make sure to connect them before turning on the welding unit.

    Instrukcja 5.2 Welding WORK MODES Electrofusion welder allows for work in four modes, three of which are operated manually and these are: ‘manual’, ‘manual barcode’ and ‘as previously’. Barcode scanner is available only for operators that are equipped with barcode scanner. buttons to choose desired work mode and press to confirm.
  • Page 15 INFORMATION It’s advised to adjust the welding parameters through barcode scanner or by entering the barcode manually. Both methods speed up the welding process and eliminate the possibility of human error and automatically adjust the heating time depending on the outside temperature. INFORMATION If there is no information in the barcode about cooling time, second fitting diameter or fitting type, device will display a message asking to fill these...
  • Page 16: Settings

    Instrukcja FITTING TEST Before starting the welding process the welding unit will perform a short test of connected fitting to confirm that the right type of fitting is connected. During the test device measures the fitting resistance and compares it with the resistance encoded in the barcode.
  • Page 17 DATE AND TIME Next, are the date and time settings. In order to adjust the values use alphanumeric keypad. Currently edited character is marked by flashing rectangle. Using arrow buttons choose the character you wish to edit and then, using alphanumeric buttons, edit the value.

    Instrukcja INFORMATION Fast mode is used always when machine is powered from the electrical grid. Normal mode (if power source was correctly selected in settings menu) is used only when power source was selected as power generator. TRACEABILITY* Device allows to record fitting and/or pipe information saved within the barcode. By default this option is deactivated.
