Depending on the particular welding system, the redu-
cer inserts (half-jaws) may be of different widths. If so,
for a pipe-to-pipe joint, install the wider reducers in the
Important
inner clamps, which are closer to the joint.

Overview of the Welding Process

The welding control program supports the extended data
encoding specifications under the ISO 12176 standard, e.g.,
pipe and fitting traceability codes. To use this capability, the
desired data have to be enabled in the configuration menu,
at "Recording" (see Sect. 4.1).
All data that are relevant for the joint or for component
traceability are saved to the internal memory and can be
sent to a USB stick.
The welding parameters can also be entered manually. The
welding system is controlled by a microprocessor and:-
• controls and monitors the welding process in a fully au-
tomated way, when the welder starts it after compo-
nent preparation,
• determines welding duration depending on ambient
temperature,
• shows all information on the display in plain text.
In the manual mode, the machine can be used to perform a
classic, manual butt-welding operation. It monitors the tem-
perature of the heating element, taking the desired nomi-
nal temperature that can be set using the ñ and ò cursor
keys, into account, and readjusts it as needed.
In the Weld Control mode, the machine walks the welder
through the welding process, monitors all relevant param-
eters, and allows entering traceability data for the welded
components on intuitive menu screens. Parameters of the
welding operation, component traceability data, and pos-
sible errors are recorded and saved to memory and can be
transferred through a USB interface port to a USB stick, a
printer, or a PC with the management and database appli-
cation DataWork.
The welder performs the butt-welding process in the fol-
lowing manner:
• Pipes are clamped into the chassis frame.
If pipes with an outside diameter smaller than the maxi-
mum dimension of the machine are welded, select the
reducer set needed. The 8 individual inserts of the set
that matches the outside diameter of the pipe to be
