Range of fitting dimensions

The range of fitting dimensions for which an electrofusion control unit can be used depends essentially on
the power consumption of the used fittings. Since the power consumption of the fittings is different for
different fitting manufacturers, it is not possible to provide a general rule which covers all the possible fitting
dimensions. When in doubt, each fitting size must be checked separately.
Attention!
For electrofusion control units of type SmartFuse when all welding work is performed successively, such
that the control unit has pauses in welding that correspond to the preparation time of the next fitting, the
following rule applies.
The duration of the pause after each weld must be at least equal to the preparation time for the next
welding joint. When you allow only shorter pauses, the electrofusion control unit is put under heavy load
and can therefore heat up so much, even when welding smaller fittings, that a longer pause must be
allowed for cooling down.
Attention!
For welding of couplers in with a welding time of ≥400 s a stable and continuous supply voltage of 230 V
is mandatory. When using a generator, it must be set to a no load voltage of between 240 V and 260 V.
The SmartFuse electrofusion control units can only be used together with SmartFuse-capable fittings.
The following table shows example values of the cooling time to be expected after each weld to ensure continuous
operation. The table contains guide values and recommendations, as exact statements cannot be made due to the
numerous influencing factors.
Fitting
20 s to 600 s
750 s to 900 s
>900 s
Attention!
Before processing fittings in this dimension range, you have to check that the welding current demand of
the fitting does not continuously exceed the output current of the device and that the maximum output
current is not exceeded.
The statements made above are made under the assumption that the ambient temperature is 20 °C.

Bluetooth functionality

The electrofusion control units of type SmartFuse can be equipped with an optionally available USB
Bluetooth dongle. This allows the welding process to be controlled and recorded together with the
SmartFuse app.
The app for smartphones and tablets is available for Android in the Google Play Store and for iOS in the
Apple App Store. When using Bluetooth, the electrofusion control unit can only be used together with this
app.
Attention!
To be able to use the app with the electrofusion control unit it is mandatory to have a registered account.
Please ask your distributor.
Attention!
If the Bluetooth function in your electrofusion control unit is provided via a Bluetooth dongle, then the
dongle must be inserted into the USB interface before switching on electrofusion control unit.
EN002RX N01
Usable without restrictions.
Longer cool-down times must be provided for because otherwise the device might show
the "Device too hot" error message. In this case, it is necessary to let the electrofusion
control unit cool down before putting it to use again.
Only couplers that have a welding time of 900 s or below can be welded.
Subject to change without notice and errors excepted. Figures similar to design.
