Welding Process; End Of Welding; Aborted Welding Process; Cooling Time - Rothenberger ROWELD ROFUSE Basic 48 V2.0 Instructions D'utilisation

Pressing the START/SET key will trigger a confirmation message "Pipe treated?," which in turn
requires a confirmation with the START/SET key to start the welding proper.
5.6

Welding Process

The welding process is monitored for its entire duration applying the welding parameters
contained in the fitting code. The welding voltage, the resistance, and the welding current are
displayed in the lower line of the screen.
5.7

End of Welding

The welding process ends successfully if the actual welding time corresponds to the nominal
welding time and the buzzer can be heard twice.
5.8

Aborted Welding Process

The welding process has failed if a plain-text error is displayed on the screen and the audible
signal is in the interval. An error has to be acknowledged by pressing the STOP/RESET key.
5.9

Cooling Time

The cooling time as given in the fitting manufacturer's
instructions has to
fitting manufacturer contains cooling time data, it will be
displayed at the end of the welding process and will be counted
down to zero. This countdown can be acknowledged and
canceled at any time by the STOP/RESET key. However, note
that for that time the pipe fitting joint which is still warm must not
be subjected to an external force. No cooling time is displayed if
the fitting code does not contain any such information.
5.10

Returning to the Start of Parameter Input

After welding is finished, disconnecting the welded fitting from the unit or pressing the STOP/
RESET key will reset the unit back to the start of entering the welding parameters.

Using ViewWeld to Manage Logged Welding Reports, Print Tags

The ViewWeld feature offers viewing
welding reports recorded during the welding processes and
printing it as a label tag to be affixed to the joint on the optionally
available tag printer. The ViewWeld abstract shows the report
number, the date and time of the welding and the welding
parameters along with an evaluation of the quality of the joint/
welding operation (see Display 6) where the first displayed
abstract is that of the last performed welding operation.
To call the ViewWeld abstract of a welding report, press the ñ key in the bar code input screen
(see Display 2). Browsing through the saved welding reports is then possible by pressing the
ï or ð cursor keys. To print a tag of the welding operation of which the abstract is currently
displayed, the label tag printer has to be connected to the welder. Then press the START/SET
key in the ViewWeld screen.

Additional Information in the Welding Report

Every welding report saved to system memory, which can be downloaded as a PDF report file
or in the DataWork format, contains a number of welding and traceability data that the operator
can decide to enter or not to enter in the set-up menu.
6.1 Entering Preformatted and User-defined Traceability Data
All traceability data enabled in the configuration menu at "Data Recording" (see Sect. 10) have
to be entered before the welding process. The welding unit prompts the user to enter them
either before or after entering the fitting bar code (see Display 2). Depending on what data
is entered, either its repeated input is mandatory (e. g., the welder ID code; see Sect. 5.2) or
previously entered data can be changed and confirmed or confirmed without changes (e. g. the
commission number; see Sect. 6.2).
