Page 37
Display Procedure “Testing and inspecting” ▪ The ambient temperature will be measured and the resistance of the connected fitting must be tested. ▪ Testing the connected fitting and the FRIAMAT preCHECK function will be executed. ▪ If the test result is positive, then fusion starts automatically.
Page 38
9.2.5. Conclude the fusion procedure Prerequisite ▪ Fusion procedure is ended. The display shows "Fusion successful" with "Fusion time target" and "Fusion time ▪ actual". Note the fusion parameters on the pipe/fitting in order to prevent double fusions. Confirm the display indication with the OK key (alternatively START key, STOP key). The fusion procedure is concluded.
