4.2.4
Entering oder Changing Other Component Traceability Data
In the same way as the welder identification code, commis-
sion and welding number, other data relating to the com-
ponents can be entered if they were enabled in the config-
uration menu. They are requested in the following order:
length of the 1
pipe, code of the 1
st
pipe, code of the 2
nd
ditions, additional data (as defined by the user).
If pipe codes for the two pipes are entered and if
those pipe codes state different sizes and/or Stan-
dard Dimension Ratios (SDR) for the pipes, then a
Info
code error is triggered since these welding param-
eters must be identical for both pipes.
All data can be entered by using the cursor keys and con-
firming by pressing the START/SET key or can be scanned
from a bar code with the optional handheld scanner or an
RFID card using the transponder reader. One exception is
the weather (see Display 13), which is presented as a list in
which the applicable conditions can be selected by press-
ing ñ or ò and confirmed, by pressing the START/SET key.

Performing the Butt Welding in the Weld Control Mode
The welding process can be performed fully manually (Man-
ual Mode) or with the support of the hydraulic, control, and
data logging/report generation unit (Weld C ontrol Mode),
which displays all steps needed during welding on the screen
to the welder's attention or has him confirm them, and
which makes a report of the welding operation. No welding
report is generated when the welding is fully manual.
Below, this booklet first presents the welding process in the
Weld Control Mode. How welding is performed in the Man-
ual Mode is explained from Section 4.4.
If the machine is set to Manual Mode (fully manu-
al welding process without data logging/reporting),
the operator can switch it to Weld Control Mode by
Info
pressing the ï and ð cursor keys simultaneously.
To start welding, clamp the pipes into the machine chassis.
Use the appropriate reducer inserts if the component size is
smaller than the basic machine chassis. If Tees, elbows, and
other short pipeline components are planned to be weld-
ed, reconfigure the machine chassis as described in Sect. 3.4.
Then, to launch the welding process, press the START/SET
key.
When installing possibly required reducers for com-
ponents with a smaller diameter, make sure they are
