Warranty
Warranty claims may be raised only if the conditions for warranty given
in the General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Delivery obtain.
2.7
Transport and Storage
The box in which the product ships should also be used for storage as a
protection against humidity. During transport or storage in the box, the hy-
draulic tubing should not be detached or squeezed. The pipe facing tool
and heating element have to be transported in the provided carrying rack.
2.8
Identifying the Product
Every product is identified by a name plate. It shows the model ("Typ"),
the serial number ("Maschinennr."), and the manufacturer. The first
two digits of the serial number represent the year of manufacture.

Understanding the Machine
This combo welding system for themoplastic components can be used
both as an on-site and as a workshop installation. Its hydraulic and
control unit enables connecting both the welding cable to an elec-
trofusion fitting and all lines to heating element, facing tool, and
hydraulic cylinders of a butt-welding machine chassis.
Thus, jointing operations pipe-to-pipe, but also for processing tees
and elbows are possible using both welding processes. (Butt welding
other than pipe-to-pipe requires the modification of the basic machine
chassis described in the first paragraphs of Sect. 4.3 and 4.4.) For the
butt-welding process, the system enables welding according to two
modes, the Manual Mode and the Data Logging/Report Generation
mode, or WeldControl Mode for short (see Sect. 3.5).
Whether the system operates according to the butt-welding or electro-
fusion process, is a matter of which cable is connected to the hydraulic
and control unit: electrofusion fitting welding cable or butt-welding
heating element control cable.
3.1 Included Components
The product ships in its transport box with the following compo-
nents:
• Welding cable for connecting an electrofusion fitting
• Adapters for welding cable terminals 4.7 x 4,0 mm, for fittings of
manufacturers Friatec, GF, agru, Wavin, Euro-Standard
• RFID card with access code of configuration menu
• Tools
• Machine chassis ("basic machine") to secure the parts to be
welded, for butt welding, as the following two
• Electrical heating element with anti-stick coating
• Electrical facing tool
• Carrying and storage rack for heating element and facing tool
• Hydraulic and control unit with control panel, for both welding
processes
• Reducer inserts for clamps of machine chassis for the following
nominal pipe sizes: O.D. 40, 50, 63, 75, 90, 110, 125, 140 mm
