the diagram). The decreased pressure will then be applied for the
entire duration of the heat-soaking stage (3
which the pipe butts continue to soak heat from the plate.
When the bead build-up stage is not automode-managed, the pressure
is decreased either with the manual pressure release pushbutton or
with the pressure release valve, and the decrease has to be observed
on the display. When the release button is used, the hydraulic and
control unit keeps the heating pressure below the required maximum
throughout the heating stage by re-opening the release valve as
needed if the pressure rises. If the welder uses the release valve, this
automatic control is not available. In this case, it is under the opera-
tor's responsibility to compensate for potential pressure fluctuations.
The machine also moves on to the heating stage if the welder decreases
the pressure to a level below the heat-soaking maximum before the
countdown of the bead build-up stage is completely over – which
may happen if the bead is o.k. earlier than expected. However, such
a pressure decrease has to be quick. In these cases, the bead build-up
time shortened by the early decrease is saved to memory as the build-
up time for this welding and will be used as a reference for possible
automode-managed build-up stages at a later time.
Full contact has to be continuously established between the
heating plate and the bead, even with lower pressure. While

heating, if contact between them is lost somewhere along the
circumference, welding has to be aborted and repeated.
If the control unit detects an error (such as insufficient pres-
sure not readjusted by the welder or excessive heating time),
it also aborts welding and displays an error message.

4.3.6 Change-over Stage

An audible signal indicates the imminent change-over

stage.
Info
At the end of the heating stage, press the pressure release and move-
apart pushbuttons on the hydraulic unit in order to move the carriage
apart. Then remove the heating plate from in-between the pipes.
In the change-over stage, too, all relevant parameters are shown on
the screen.
The change-over has to be followed immediately by the joining stage.
The change-over time given on the display must not be exceeded. If it
is, the welding is aborted automatically and an error is displayed.

4.3.7 Joining and Cooling Stage

Press the close-in pushbutton in order to move the pipe butts in on
each other and build the joining pressure. Watch the value on the
screen. Building the joining pressure must correspond to a linear in-
crease, as predicted by the nominal values on the screen. The 5
of the diagram on the hydraulic unit flashes.
Once the joining pressure is reached and has stabilized, the pressure
will be kept at this level until the end of the joining/cooling stage
(6 LED in the diagram). In this stage, the new joint already starts
th
cooling down.
Right after the end of the linear pressure ramp, at the very
beginning of the cooling, pressure may drop slightly for
