2.3 Sources of danger
WARNING!
Electric shock from live parts! Danger of death!
- Never leave the FRIAMAT fusion unit unattended.
- Immediately replace damaged housings, connecting lines, and extension
cables. Stop using the FRIAMAT fusion unit.
- Before all care and maintenance work, pull out the plug connecting the
equipment.
- Maintenance and repair work must be performed by authorised FRIATEC
service stations only.
- Supply FRIAMAT fusion units only with the operating voltage specified on
the ratings plate.
- Fit a residual current protective device (RCD) when this is prescribed.
- Do not remove or otherwise put safety installations out of operation.
- Immediately eliminate identified defects.
WARNING!
Danger of fire and explosion from highly flammable materials and
potentially explosive atmospheres!
- Keep away from flammable liquids and gases.
- Do not use in potentially explosive atmospheres (e.g. in areas where
flammable gases, solvent vapours, or ignitable dusts can accumulate).
- Never leave the FRIAMAT fusion unit unattended.
2.4 Mains operation
Out of doors (building sites), power outlets must be fitted with residual
current protective devices (RCDs). The regulations governing RCDs must be
observed here.
NOTE
Before commencing fusion, check the input voltage. The FRIAMAT fusion unit
is designed for an input voltage range of 190–250 V!
9
EN
Stand/Update: 01.07.2014
2.5 Generator operation
NOTE
Only those generators must be used that have been designed for industrial
use on building sites. The operating instructions for the generator must be
observed!
The use of generators must comply with DVGW work sheet GW308, VDE
0100 Part 728, and the specifications and guidelines applying in the country
of use.
INFORMATION
The rated power output required from the generator depends on the level
needed for the largest fusion fitting, the connection conditions, the ambient
conditions, the generator type, and its control characteristics. Generators from
different series exhibit highly diverse control characteristics. The suitability of
a specific generator, therefore, cannot be safeguarded even when it provides
the required rated power output according to its technical data sheet.
In cases of doubt, e.g. when acquiring new equipment, contact our service
hotline +49 (0)621 486-1533!
Use only those generators that operate with frequencies within 44–66 'Hz.
First start the generator, and let it run for half a minute. If necessary, adjust the
no-load voltage, limiting it to the voltage specified in the technical data. The
generator (mains) fuse must be at least 16 A (slow blow).
NOTE
During fusion, do not operate any other consumer from
the same generator!
On finishing fusion work, first pull out the plug connecting the device to the
generator, and then switch off the generator.

2.6 Extension cable
When using an extension cable, make sure it has an adequate conductor
cross section:
•2.5mm
2
up to 50 m in length or
•4mm2 up to 100 m in length.
NOTE
Danger of overheating in the extension cable!
The extension cable may be used only when it has been completely unwound and
stretched out.
2.7 Opening the device
WARNING!
Electric shock from live parts! Danger of death!
- Never open the FRIAMAT fusion unit when it is supplied with operating
voltage!
- FRIAMAT fusion units may be opened only by specialised personnel from
an authorised FRIATEC service station!
2.8 Safety measures at the installation site
The connecting and fusion cables must be protected against sharp edges. Do
not expose the FRIAMAT fusion unit to heavy mechanical loads.
FRIAMAT fusion units are splash proof. They may not, however, be immersed
in water.
2.9 Emergency
In emergencies, immediately set the main switch to OFF, and disconnect the
FRIAMAT fusion unit from the voltage supply.

3.3 Reader wand
To read in fusion barcodes and traceability barcodes, place the reader wand
under a slight angle (like a pencil) in front of the barcode on the fitting. Now
move the reader wand quickly over the whole label and a little beyond. Barcodes can be read in from right to left or vice versa. When the barcode has
been read in correctly, the device emits an acoustic signal to confirm this. If
the barcode cannot be read in the first time, repeat the procedure, this time
under a different angle or at a different speed.
NOTE
Protect the tip of the reader wand from dirt and damage!
The condition of the reader wand tip has a direct effect on the legibility of barcodes.
3.4 Barcode scanner
The barcode scanner uses a laser to read in fusion barcodes and traceability
barcodes without physical contact. All you need to do is aim at the barcode
and press the read button. The barcode is scanned by means of a red light
strip that must cross over the whole barcode, whenever possible at the centre. The barcode is not detected properly when the red light strip does not
cross the whole barcode.
The optimal read results are obtained when the scanner is positioned at a
small distance over the barcode.
Good legibility Failed to read Failed to read
Badly printed or slightly damaged barcodes can be read in when the scanner
is placed directly on the barcode and then, with the read button pressed,
moved away. When the barcode is read in successfully, the device emits an
acoustic signal, and a green indicator lamp lights up in the middle of the read
barcode.
NOTE
Protect the reading window from dirt and scratches!
The condition of the reading window has a direct effect on the capabilities of the
FRIAMAT barcode scanner.
13
EN
Stand/Update: 01.07.2014
3.5 Protective cap for data interface
The USB-A port is found directly behind the protective cap. This data interface functions as a service port and, on the FRIAMAT Prime, is also used
to read out and transfer the fusion protocol. The protective cap for the data
interface must be screwed on at all times to prevent contaminants and
moisture from reaching it.
3.6 Temperature probe
FRIAMAT fusion units can be used only on electrofusion fittings bearing a
barcode. When this is read in, the microprocessor controlled FRIAMAT fusion
unit regulates and monitors the supplied energy fully automatically and defines the fusion time as a function of the ambient temperature. This ambient
temperature is continuously measured by the temperature probe on the fusion
cable (silver coloured metal sleeve at the reader wand or scanner bag).
Make sure that both the temperature probe and the fusion fitting are exposed
to the same ambient temperatures. Avoid adverse processing situations, e.g.
where the probe is exposed to intense sunlight and the fitting is in the shade.
The temperature probe must be protected against damage.
3.7 Fan functionality
How the fans function depends on the temperatures measured at the heat
sink inside the FRIAMAT fusion unit. The fans switch ON automatically when
the heat sink reaches a certain temperature. And this not only during, but also
between fusion sessions, or after reactivation, depending on the (previous)
load levels. This safeguards reliable operations in continuous duty and during
fusion on large dimensions.
INFORMATION
Reduce cooling times!
In particular during series fusion work or work on fittings requiring high power
levels, leave the FRIAMAT fusion unit switched ON after each fusion. The fans
can then reduce the heat sink temperature.
14
Stand/Update: 01.07.2014
EN
3.8 Signalling devices
FRIAMAT fusion units confirm certain sequences of operations by emitting an
acoustic signal (1, 2, 3, or 5 beeps). These signals mean the following:
1 beep means: Read barcode confirmed.
2 beeps mean: Fusion procedure ended.
3 beeps mean: Supply voltage too low / too high.
5 beeps mean: Error! See display!
INFORMATION
Adjust the volume!
The volume of these signals can be set to “high” or “low” in the “Basic Settings”
menu. See also Sections 5.3 and 6.2.6.
