Welding Preparation - Virax P160 B PRO BASIC Manuel D'utilisation

The display generally indicates the actual temperature value. In accordance with national ordinances
and guidelines, e. g. DVS, the heating plate is ready after maintaining the setpoint temperature for at
least 10 minutes. Verify heating plate temperature with a temperature meter.
Risk of serious injury! The heating plate can reach temperatures of over 300°C /
572°F! We highly recommend storing the heating plate in the designated carrying
frame immediately after use!
The welding machine is equipped with a Type 400 digital temperature controller.
The digital temperature controller has been ideally configured and set before leaving our factory. To
set temperature simply press the "F" key until "_SP" is indicated in the display. The operator can now
adjust the setpoint temperature between 0-300°C / 32-572°F with the arrow keys.
If no keys are pressed, the display indicates the actual temperature, the controller automatically sets
the new temperature parameter. As long as the actual temperature is lower than the setpoint
temperature, the red arrow flashes (low). If the actual value is larger than the setpoint value, the red
arrow flashes (high). If the actual temperature corresponds with the setpoint temperature, the green
bar illuminates. Should the actual surface temperature of the heating plate not correspond with the
actual temperature indicated, it is possible to enter an "offset". To define the offset, press and hold the
"F" key until "InP" appears in the display (approx. 7 sec.); release "F" key, then press the "F" key as
many times as required until "oFS" appears. Correct this value as required. To save the new settings,
press and hold "F" key until the actual value reappears in the display.
Warning! Do not change any other heating plate parameters!
Note: The autotuning function could cause the details under "CFG" to deviate minutely. Should hunting
occur, the autotuning function can be activated while the heating plate is cold (set the menue item
"S.tu" to "2" (two) in CFG menue, the system automatically resets the parameter to "0" (zero).

Pipes smaller than the maximum welding range (diameter) of the machine, mount the
adapter clamping inserts suited for the pipe diameter with the Allen screws found in the
accessories kit.
