- Pull out the plug prior to any maintenance or service tasks.
- Allow any service and repairs to be carried out only at authorised service stations.
- Connect fusion units of the FRIAMAT
®
range only
to supply voltage as given on type plate.
DANGER!
Distribution points on the construction site: observe regulation on Fi-circuit breakers!
Outdoors (on construction sites) receptacles must be fitted with fault current Fi-circuit breakers. When using generators, the DVGW worksheet GW308 and the VDE 0100 Part 728 need to be observed. The required generator nominal output depends on the output required by the largest fitting to be used, on connection conditions, ambient conditions and the actual generator type (its control characteristics). As the generators from different model ranges often
7
When in doubt (e.g. when purchasing brand new) contact an authorised service station or call the FRIATEC service hotline +49 (0) 621 486 1533.
Only use generators working with frequencies within the 44-66 Hz range.
Start up the generator and leave it running for half a minute. If necessary adjust off-load voltage and limit to voltage indicated by the technical data. Genera­tor (power) safety fuse at least 16 A (slow acting).
W
ARNING!
Check input voltage of your FRIAMAT®-model before starting the fusion process. Your FRIAMAT
®
-model has been designed for input
voltage of 190-250 volt.
When using an extension cable, please ensure sufficient cross section:
- 2.5 mm
2
up to 50 m
-4 mm2up to 100 m length.
DANGER!
Danger to life! Never open your FRIAMAT®-model whilst connected to power supply! FRIAMAT
®
fusion units may be opened only by specialist personnel at an authorised service station! Re­placement of damaged mains connection must be carried out by authorised service station only.
8
1.7 Emissions
The (equivalent) continuous sound pressure level of all FRIAMAT
®
fusion units is less than 70 db(A). When working in a quiet environment, the signal when set to “loud” comes across as very loud. For this reason it is possible to adjust the signal (loud/quiet).
1.8 Safety precautions on site
W
ARNING!
FRIAMAT®fusion units are splash water proofed. They may however not be immersed in water.
1.9 Signal equipment
FRIAMAT
®
fusion units confirm certain operating procedures using a signal (1, 2, 3 or 5 signal sounds). The signals signify the following:
1 signal: reading in of barcode confirmed. 2 signals: fusion process completed. 3 signals: supply voltage too low / too high. 5 signals: warning: error, refer to display!
1.10 Emergencies
In case of an emergency switch off main switch immediately to the “OFF” position and disconnect your FRIAMAT
®
-model from the power supply.
FRIAMAT
®
fusion units can be shut off by:
- activation of main switch or pulling out the power
supply plug.
2. Basic Data
2.1 Design/parts
All electronic parts of your FRIAMAT
®
-model are kept in a splash water proofed casing. A receptacle for the fusion and mains cable is situated at the back. At the top there is an accessory box; at the right side is the interface box.
FRIAMAT
®
fusion units are designed for a maximum fusion voltage of 48 V. A safety transformer sepa­rates supply and fusion voltage.
9
2.2 Operating principle
Only electrical fusion fittings with a barcode can be fused using FRIAMAT
®
fusion units: a sticker with a barcode is allocated to each fitting. It contains information for the correct fusion process. Your FRIAMAT
®
-model boasts a PC supported command
system which:
- controls and adjusts energy supply fully auto-
matically, and
- determines the length of the fusion process,
taking into account ambient temperature. The temperature sensor inside the fusion cable continuously measures the ambient temperature.
W
ARNING!
The temperature sensor for determining the ambient temperature is attached to the fusion cable at the reader wand cable near the reader wand pouch (silver metal sleeve). As the deter­mination of the ambient temperature in the fusion zone is part of a correct fusion process, the temperature sensor must be protected from damage at all cost. In addition you need to make sure that both the temperature sensor as well as the fitting to be fused are exposed to identical ambient temperatures, i.e. processing situations where e.g. the temperature sensor is exposed to bright sunlight and the fitting is in the shade must
be avoided.

2.4 Transport/storage/dispatch
Your FRIAMAT
®
-model is delivered in an aluminium transport box. Unpacking requires no specific skills, nor does storage in the transport box. The tempe-
rature range during storage is -20°C.....+70°C.
W
ARNING!
Always transport/store inside aluminium trans­port box.
2.5 Setting up/connecting
Your FRIAMAT
®
-model can be set up and operated outdoors if protected from rain and wet.
- Set up your FRIAMAT®-model on level ground
(preferably horizontal).
- Ensure that generator is fused with a 16 A mini-
mum (slow acting) fuse.
- Plug unit connection cable into power socket.
- Use extension cable if necessary, ensure suffi-
cient cross section (see also Section 2.3).
- Observe operating instructions of generator if
used.
W
ARNING!
Always roll out all cables before use!
2.6 Operating
W
ARNING!
Charring! Dirty contacts may char the plug.
Contact surfaces of fitting and fusion plug must be clean at all times:
13
- Thoroughly remove any existing deposits.
- Protect plug from contamination, replace if necessary.
- Check fusion plug and contact sockets of the fitting for dirt before connecting.
3. Basic “Fusion” Procedure
3.1 Preparation
The appropriate assembly instructions need to be observed for the correct processing of FRIALEN
®
safety fittings and FRIAFIT®sewage system. The same applies for fittings by other manufacturers.
IMPOR
TANT!
Roll out cables completely!
This applies to power cable, fusion cable, and extension cable if required. The contact sur­faces
of the fitting and the fusion plugs must be clean; dirty contacts can cause overheating and charring of the plug. If necessary carefully re­move any existing deposits.
Always protect plugs from contamination. If there is evidence of a deposit which cannot be completely removed, the fusion plugs must be replaced.
-Prepare fitting and pipes for fusion in accordance
with assembly instructions.
- Ensure that the contact pins on the fitting are
accessible for connection of fusion plugs.
- Connect to power supply (mains or generator).
- If using a generator, start it first and leave to warm
up for 30 seconds.
- Switch on unit by the main switch.
- Connect fusion plug with contact pins of the
fitting.
14
3.2 Enter barcode
W
ARNING!
Take reader wand out of reader wand pouch by opening the pouch, grasping the reader wand at its end/anti-kink sleeve (black) and taking it out.
It is not permitted to read in the barcode of a different type of fitting. On completion of the reading in process the reader wand must be returned to its pouch immediately in order to avoid damage and contamination of the reader wand tip.
IMPOR
TANT!
The fusion plugs of your FRIAMAT®-model must be connected with the contact plugs of the fitting as a resistance check is carried out immediately on reading in the barcode. An error message will appear if there is “non contact”. Please also ensure that the fusion plugs of your FRIAMAT
®
­model are attached to the contact pins on the fit­ting across the entire internal contact width.
Once the barcode label has been attached to the fitting, this is the only one to use. If the barcode label of the fitting to be fused is not legible due to damage, a fitting with a legible barcode label built in the same way by the same manufacturer must be used.
Hold the reader wand slightly slanted and slightly inclined (like a pencil) and place it on the fitting in front of the barcode. Now move the reader wand quickly across the whole label and a little way beyond. The reading can be done from right to left or the other way around. If this has been done correctly, the unit will confirm the reading with a signal. If reading in is not successful straight away, try again, if necessary at a different angle or speed.
15
3.3 Starting fusion process
W
ARNING!
If there is a malfunction in the fusion process hot molten PE may be expelled on rare occasions.
Therefore:
Maintain a safety distance of at least 1 m from the fusion area during fusion! Do not connect any additional equipment during fusion.
The fusion process can be cancelled at any time by pressing the STOP button. When the fused area has cooled down (and the source of the fault eliminated where necessary) the fusion process can be repea­ted (depending on the fitting manufacturer, please observe operating instructions by the appropriate fitting manufacturer).
Operating steps:
1. Display shows “PIPE PREPARED?”, confirm if correct.
2. Press the START button to start the fusion process. Now an automatic check of the ambient temperature and resistance check of the con­nected fitting follow. Fusion starts. The display will tell you the duration of the fusion (it will show total time of fusion and count it up in seconds till the fusion ends).
3. Display “END OF FUSION” means that the fusion process has been completed and the unit is ready for the next fusion. Displays “t” and “tc:” show reference and actual fusion time and must be identical.
4. Mark fusion parameters on pipe/fitting. This will make sure no second fusion is accidentally carried out.

5.9 Fusion Options
5.9.1 ID Data
IMPOR
TANT!
The “ID-Data” option is activated and visible to you only once documentation or traceability has been switched on.
30
The term “ID data” includes data which you can allocate to your imminent fusion process: commis­sion number, operator pass, continuous number seam number and GPS data (1-3). The following sections describe this additional information.
IMPOR
TANT!
Entering commission numbers and seam num­bers is possible only when documentation and the function “Commission number” and/or “Seam number” are switched on.
5.9.1.1 Commission number
Press the MENU button to access submenu „ID Data“. Press the START button to bring up „Com­mission Number“ in the top line of the display. On entering an commission number for the first time the following appears „########################“. The first digit flashes. By moving the arrow buttons you will be able to enter your commission number. Use the START button to save this number and the STOP button to exit the submenu.
If you have already entered one or several commis­sion numbers, you will be able to choose in „ID Data“ in submenu „Commission number“ between „CHANGE“ (changing of last entered commission number), „NEW“ (entering a new commission num­ber), and „SELECTION“ (selecting an commission number from the last 20 commission numbers entered) by pressing the START button and using the arrow buttons (up/down). Data entry, saving and exiting this submenu takes place as described above.
5.9.1.2 Operator pass
Use the MENU button to access submenu „ID Data“. Press the START button and use the arrow buttons (up/down) to access the display informing you whether and which fusion operator has been entered (if no operator pass has been activated, there is no display in this screen). The fusion opera­tor cannot be changed manually, i.e. by using but­tons; if you wish to enter a new fusion operator you will need an appropriate operator pass (see section
5.4.2).
31
5.9.1.3 Continuous number and Seam number
Use the MENU button to access submenu „ID data“. Press the START button and use the arrow buttons (up/down) to access the display which gives the continuous number of the fusion processes car­ried out by you. This number is allocated automati­cally by the unit and cannot be changed. The conti­nuous number is allocated to the appropriate activated commission number.
Pressing the START button allows you to allocate a number chosen by you („Seam number“) to your fusion process. Symbols are chosen by using the arrow buttons. Use the START button to save this number and the STOP button to exit the submenu.
5.9.1.4 GPS 1 - 3
Use the MENU button to access submenu „ID Data“. Press the START button and use the arrow buttons (up/down) to access the screen where you are able to enter the coordinates of the fusion processes carried out by you (GPS 1, GPS 2 and GPS 3). Symbols are chosen by using the arrow but­tons. Use the START button to save this number and the STOP button to exit the submenu. You will need an appropriate device for calculating the GPS data.
5.9.2 Traceability barcodes/
Pipe number/Pipe length
IMPOR
TANT!
It is possible to enter traceability data only when documentation and “Traceability” function and/ or “Pipe number and/or “Pipe length” are switched on.
Reading in of traceability barcodes is activated after the fusion barcode of the fitting to be fused has been entered. A request to enter the traceability barcode of the fitting appears in the display („FITTING: T-CODE“). Once you have entered this you will be requested to enter the traceability barcode of Component 1 („COMPONENT 1:
32
T-CODE“). If you have activated the programming of pipe number and/or pipe length these will then also be displayed and can be entered accordingly (select symbols by pressing the MENU button and using the arrow buttons and save data by pressing the START button). You will then be asked to enter the traceability barcode of Component 2. Programming of pipe number and/or pipe length takes place as described above. If you have not activated any addi­tional text (see Section 5.9.3) you will once again be reminded of the significance of scraping the pipe by the question „PIPE PREPARED?“. Confirm by pressing the START button (i.e. the pipe has been prepared appropriately; see also Section 5.9.4). You will access the start mode (the upper line in the display will show the connected fitting to be fused, the lower line will ask „START?“).
IMPORTANT!
At this point you will be able to use the blue arrow button (up/down) to skip to the menu „ID Data“ once again to ascertain that all relevant data has been entered or to make last minute changes. Press the STOP button to exit this sub­menu.
Start the fusion process by pressing the START but­ton.
IMPOR
TANT!
Programming of traceability data is automatic, i.e. once programming is complete the display will show the next step until you reach the start of the fusion. If you have to/would like to disrupt this process (e.g. because you wish to check your entry data once again) use the blue arrow buttons (right/left) back and forth in the pro­gramming process to access individually en­tered data/information.

5.9.3 Info text, Comment 1, Comment 2,
Subcontractor
, i.e. no additional text is displayed (e.g. the text last entered). Use the START button to save your entry and press it again to continue preparing for your fusion.
IMPOR
T
ANT!
The additional text must be newly entered for each fusion process, as no text will appear in the report otherwise. If the START button is activated immediately after reading in the fitting barcode, no additional text is added to the fusion.
5.9.4 Scraper tool
As part of the process of entering data to start the fusion the request „SCRAPER TOOL: CODE“ – if selected by you (see Section 5.4.12) – appears after the prompt „PIPE PREPARED?“. If the scraper tool which you used for the scraping of the pipe has the appropriate barcode you will now be able to enter this – this data will then be allocated to your fusion in the report.

7. Operating faults
7.1 Errors when reading in the barcode
7.2 Overheating
It is possible for your FRIAMAT
®
-model to overheat if used for extreme lengths of time. In order to avoid damage to the unit, a temperature monitor has been installed which causes your FRIAMAT
®
-model to calculate before fusion whether the temperature increase to be expected during fusion is permitted. If the calculated temperature is not in the permitted range, the display will show the message “Let the unit cool down”. As the power consumption of different electrofusion fittings will vary, there may be the option of fusing a different fitting.
7.3 Fusion interruption
If the fusion is interrupted, because e.g. the power supply was disrupted during a fusion process, the fusion can be repeated once the source of the fault has been removed and the fitting has cooled down completely (depending on manufacturer, please observe operating instructions by the appropriate fitting manufacturer).
7.4 Error messages/Warning messages/
