standing on the lower part of the box, the cables connecting it to the label printer, i.e., to the connectors above the drawer, can remain. Take the reducers out of the clamps and put them into the drawer provided to this end. Install and lock the transport locks (heating element, console carrying the facing tool and heating element) (see drawings at the beginning of this section for reference).

you can also read it from it by RFID. If no welder code is entered, the home screen will display with reduced functionality, and only viewing records and documents will be possible. With the exception of the welding parameters (see Sect. 4.7) and the cus- tomised materials, all inputs for which a transponder card is available can be entered by holding the card in front of the RFID reader.

Page 30 Figure 17: It is under the user’s and the operating entity’s sole and full responsibility to define the appropriate welding parameters for any custom material properly. The liability and warranty on the system manufacturer’s part extends only to the parameter sets defined ex works. No warranty or liability can be assumed for poor joints and/or damage, including consequential damage, occurring as a result thereof that would be the result of inappropriately defined custom materials.
Page 32: Performing The Welding Operation
Figure 20: In case a custom material is no longer needed, it can be deleted from system memory by tapping the Trashbin icon on its bar in the overview listing of custom materials. The machine must be used only for the materials, diameters, and thicknesses in the screens of (standard or custom) parameter sets.
Page 34 Figure 23: If only one or a few of the component parameters of the preceding welding have to be changed, you can tap the button with the parameter that needs changing in the Material Selection screen (refer to the first screenshot in the series at the previous paragraph). Then select what is required for the next welding in the screen that opens.

Page 40: Pre-Heating The Component Butts And Inserting The Heating Element
Figure 29: . Without end caps, the temperature difference between the welded and the open butt may cause a suction effect, which would cool the bead, thereby adversely affecting the quality of the welded joint. After the confirmation that the caps have been installed, the machine moves the carriage apart.
Page 41: Heating Stage
Figure 30: Pre-heating is meant for mechanically produced fittings. If it is used for other applications or fittings, no warranty for a correct joint and no liability for any immediate or consequential damage are assumed. From the start of the welding process, with or without pre-heating, the machine controls and monitors constantly the temperature of the heating plate and the forces and times to be observed in its various stages.
Page 42: Jointing Stage
Figure 31: The welder has to monitor the change-over and must abort welding by touching , in case a malfunction occurs. 4.7.6 - Jointing Stage In the jointing stage (also called fusion stage) the machine increases the applied force to the computed fusion force in accordance with the force ramp defined for the weld.
Page 43: Assessing The Joint By A Visual Check At The End Of Welding
Figure 32: 4.7.9 - Assessing the Joint by a Visual Check at the End of Welding At the end of the welding process, the machine displays an overview of some welding and traceability data that will be saved to the report, and asks the welder to visually check the quality of the joint.

Page 45: Aborted Welding Process, Error And Malfunction Messages
Figure 34: 4.8 - Aborted Welding Process, Error and Malfunction Messages All welding-relevant data are constantly monitored while the welding process is running. If one or more of the parameters are out of tolerance and the machine cannot adjust them, the welding process is aborted after a given period of time.

a certain commission or project, reports from no. x through to no. y, etc. Select or enter the values that defined the filter of the category you wish to apply and confirm everything by the button. The machine then returns to the file format selection screen, and when the transfer is now started by tapping the icon for the desired file format, only those reports that match the previously set filter will be transferred to the USB stick.
Page 51: Service And Repair
Figure 38: make the machine switch itself to sleep mode rather than off at the end of the workday, in order for it to be able to start the heating-up automatically when it is the programmed time. For the automatic heating feature to work, the welding machine has to be connected to the power supply and be in the sleep mode all the time from preprogramming a time of day to the start of heating.
Page 52: Service And Repair Contact
All machines that are new or newly programmed during maintenance or upon request are shipped with the most recent software version. At the date of shipment, the service and maintenance interval is set to 18 months or 5000 welding operations (different in some markets), whichever comes first.
