Safety
Operating the equipment incorrectly can cause serious injury and damage.
Do not use the functions described until you have thoroughly read and understood the
following documents:

Machine concept The digital machine series is characterised by excellent welding properties and an unri-
valled degree of precision in the welding process. Microprocessor controlled inverter
power sources ensure exactly reproducible welding results. For welding pipelines, the
TimeTwin Digital welding system is used in combination with an automised welding process. Up to four Twin welding torches can be welding the pipeline at the same time.
Areas of utilisation
The components used in the pipe series were specially designed for the laying of
pipelines in extreme climatic conditions. With an operating temperature range of -50 °C
to +40 °C, the machine can be used from Alaska to the Sahara.
WARNING!
these operating instructions
all the operating instructions for the system components, especially the safety rules
System components
System components for use in pipeline construction:
- Power source - TPS 3200 460 V Pipe or TPS 4000 MV Pipe
- Pipe wirefeeder (e.g. VR 1500 Pipe)
- Pipe cooling unit (e.g. FK 9000 R Pipe or FK 6000 Pipe „stand-alone“ for longer
hosepacks)
- Robacta Pipe (Twin) welding torch
- Robot interface (e.g. Rob 4000/5000)

TPS 3200 460 V Pipe
General remarks The TPS 3200 460V Pipe is a completely digitised, microprocessor controlled inverter
power source, specially designed for use in extreme climatic conditions. Compared to
the standard power source, the TPS 3200 460V Pipe is able to integrate all the electronic
components required to control the wirefeeder.
NOTE!
Information on function and operation can be found in the enclosed standard
power source operating instructions.
Where a difference occurs between the properties or functions of the Pipe series and the
standard power source, the information in this document takes precedence.
NOTE!
The push-pull unit MUST be calibrated:
prior to each initial start-up
▶
after selecting another push-pull unit
▶
each time the wirefeeder software is updated
▶
Accessories and
options
If the push-pull unit is not calibrated, the standard parameters will be used - which may
result in the welding result not being satisfactory.
- Select the “PPU” function in the second (2nd) menu level (power source operating
instructions)
