Principles of Operation

The ROWELD ROFUSE Print+ V2 allows welding electrofusion fittings that feature a bar code.
Every fitting is provided with a tag with one or two bar codes on it. The structure of this code is
internationally standardized. The first code, encoding the data on proper welding, complies with
ISO 13950, the second code, if present, encoding the component traceability data, complies
with ISO 12176-4. The model version with GPS module can additionally be used to record the
geographic coordinates of the place where the welding operation is performed, which will then
be added to the relevant welding report.
The welding parameters can also be entered manually. The microprocessor-controlled ROWELD
ROFUSE Print+ V2 Welding Unit
• controls and monitors the welding process in a fully automated fashion,
• determines welding duration depending on ambient temperature,
• shows all information on the display in plain text.
All data that are relevant for the weld or for traceability are saved to the internal memory and can
be sent to a USB stick.
Welding data transfer is enabled through an interface of the USB A type, which is compatible
with a USB stick.
Further Optional Accessories:
• PC software for downloading and archiving data on PC (for all common Windows operating
systems)
• Label tag printer for printing an identifier label for the new joint right after the welding
operation
• USB stick for data transfer from the welding unit on the worksite to the printer or PC in your
office (see details at the end of this booklet)

Check-out and Operation

 To operate the welding unit, be sure that it is set on a proper, level surface.
 Be sure that power supply/generator protection is 16 A (slow blow).
 Plug the power supply cord into the mains power supply or the generator.
 Read and comply with the User's Manual of the generator, if applicable.
5.1

Turning the Welding Unit On

After connecting the power supply cable to mains power or a
generator, turn the welding unit on using the On/Off switch. This
causes Display 1 to show
Then the screen changes to Display 2.
CAUTION in case of System Errors! If during the auto-test that the unit performs
at start-up, an error is detected, a "System Error" message shows on the display.
When this happens, the welding unit has to be disconnected immediately from
the power suppy and the fitting, and it has to be shipped to the manufacturer
for repair.

Entering the Welder ID Code

The alphanumeric keypad is designed and works like the keypad of a common mobile phone
without touch screen display. All characters found on a key can be "browsed" by pressing that
key repeatedly at short intervals. As soon as "browsing" generates the desired character on the
screen, wait a little longer until you press the next key to use the displayed character. The first
character always is the number on the respective key, then the letters or marks in the order on the
key, i. e., for instance, with the key "2 | a | b | c" the 1st keypress brings up "2," the 2nd "a," the
3rd "b," and the 4th brings up "c." By default, lower-case letters appear on the screen. To enter
upper-case letters, hold down the ñ key while selecting the appropriate letter by one or several
keypresses.
