  • Page 8: Safety Standards

    Safety Standards IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS HEREIN BEFORE START USING THE MACHINE! ATTENTION PLEASE! Safety instructions against electrocution and fire hazards must be respected at all times when using electrical appliances. KEEP THE WORKSPACE CLEAN, TIDY AND PROPERLY ILLUMINATED. Clutter and/or lack of proper light on the workspace may cause accidents.
  • Page 9 ATTENTION PLEASE! BE SURE TO AVOID ACCIDENTAL START-UP OF MACHINE AND/OR ANY OTHER ELECTRICAL DEVICE. When turning on the generator, be sure that the machine is not plugged to it. Wait until the generator has stabilized to plug the machine - the generator may create spurious voltages during ignition, which would cause irreparable damage to the printed circuit board and other electronic components of the machine.
  • Page 10: Generator Set Features And Connections

    Generator set Features and connections The welding machine indicated in this handbook can operate with an alternate current between a minimum value of 195V and a maximum value of 265V; the frequency range goes from 50Hz to 60Hz. Always use earth connection with a residual current device with a 16A slow curve magnetothermic switch (for the 230V version), or a 20A slow curve magnetothermic switch (for the 110V version).
  • Page 11: Before And After Welding

    In no event shall Ritmo S.p.A. be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages of any kind whatsoever with respect to the use of a machine that did not undergo regular maintenance/overhaul.
  • Page 12: Set Up

    SET UP The quality of the joint depends on many factors; we recommend that the following indications are respected in a meticulous manner, in order to give the user the surety of a perfect welding. STORAGE OF PIPES/FITTINGS/COUPLERS During the welding cycle, the pipes/fittings/couplers must have the same temperature as the ambient one (as read by the thermal probe of the machine).
  • Page 13 WELDING The area where the welding takes place must be protected from adverse climate conditions, such as humidity, very low temperatures (inferior to -10°C) or very high temperatures (superior to +40°C), strong winds, direct sun rays. The pipes/fittings/couplers to be welded must be made of the same material, or at least compatible materials;...
  • Page 14: Operating Instructions - Introduction

    Operating Instructions - Introduction Operating instructions with scan reader: Before turning on the machine, connect the scan reader and follow instructions on page 15. Operating instructions without scan reader: Without the scan reader, welding voltage and time data must be inserted manually. Follow instructions on page 22.
  • Page 15: Operating Instructions With Scan Reader

    Operating instructions with scan reader Menu 1/5 (Bar code reading – scan reader) Keep the trigger pressed and make sure the laser beam aims at the welding bar code. READ BAR CODE  Information about the coupler manufacturer is displayed. Important: in case of malfunction of the laser scanner, it is possible to work in manual mode (see page 16) Press OK to start welding.
  • Page 16 Menu 2/5 (Manual insertion of bar code) Press OK to access the manual insertion of the INPUT BAR‐CODE  bar code characters.
