TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

General information for electric supply

The TW 5000 is delivered with power cord: 3 x 2.5 mm², earth (ground) is green/yellow; the two other wires are neutral and phase 1 at single phase connection and phase 1 and phase 2 at two phase connection.

▪ Use direct supply from main electric distributor or use a generator.

▪ Use cables with 3 wires. Please note that the earth (ground) wire is green and yellow.

▪ Recommended diameter of wires minimum 2,5 mm², maximum cable length 55 metres. If 1,5 mm² wires are used, maximum cable length 35 metres.

▪ Use only extension cords with sufcient wire diameter in accordance with information above.

▪ Your country’s specications of electric tools and installations should be respected.

POWER SUPPLY AND EXTENSION CORDS

Selecting the right generator

To make sure you choose the right generator, go through these steps:

▪ Identify the items you want to run.

▪ Calculate the total surge watts required for all items.

▪ Select a generator that exceeds your total surge watts.

The multiplying factor between rated and surged watts for TW 5000 and TH 1650 is approx. 1.2. For instance if you run one TW 5000 (220 V) and one TH 1650 (120 V) your total surge watts will be 8040 W ((5000+1700)*1.2). Thus in this case we recommend selecting minimum a 10,000 W generator with 50amp service.

Be sure to verify wattage requirements for starting and running. Start one item at a time beginning with the largest and ending with the smallest.

CAUTION! To provide continued protection against risk of electric shock, connect to properly grounded outlets only.

CAUTION! To reduce the risk of electric shock, keep extension cord connection dry and off the ground.

OPERATION

IMPORTANT! Always perform sample welds before welding actual production membrane to

ensure proper setting of temperature, air ow and speed. See test and control of welding seam.

▪ If you are welding at an angle, adjust the front wheels by turning the front wheel adjustment knob located at the base of the frame until you achieve proper, straight movement of the machine.

▪ Release the welding nozzle with the trigger, then lower and guide it to the left underneath the overlapping membrane until it locks. The machine will start automatically when the nozzle is in its locked position. For instruction on how to stop the machine, please see section on “Stopping the machine and cooling down”. If the automatic system is failing, you can start and stop the machine manually with the run button.

!

The machine is equipped with adjustable front wheels to avoid sliding when welding at different angles. The front wheels are preset in the factory for welding in a horizontal position.

TEST AND CONTROL OF THE WELDING SEAM

Always conduct test welds before you begin any job. Materials will vary between manufacturers therefore the machine settings will vary as well. Always check with the material manufacturer for the proper specications and machine settings for their material. It should be noted that ambient temperature plays a large part in the machine settings. The warmer it is outside the faster you can run the machine. If you are welding in cold climates, you will have to slow the machine and increase the temperature. Additional weights for the machine are available to add if needed. Start your test weld without the weights and add them accordingly until you achieve an optimum weld.

Set the machine´s temperature, speed, and weight according to the manufacturer’s specications and environmental/ambient conditions. Run test welds

and take samples before production welding. Test the welds to ensure that the tests are within manufacturer specications. Save the test samples for proof that you conducted test welds before you started the job. Test welds should be done again if the environmental/ambient conditions change during the day.

By means of visual inspection you can check the quality of the welds. The material must be welded all the way to the edge of the overlap. This can be checked with a probe tool, similar to an awe. Run the probe along the seam to test the integrity of your welds. With PVC you will nd a bead of PVC that has formed along the seam, called bleed through. This is acceptable and indicates a proper weld, as long as it is not darkened or shows any burning. With TPO materials you will not see this bead.

GB

After you have nished welding, press the release trigger positioned under the nozzle and guide the nozzle all the way to the right. The drive will immediately stop when you move the nozzle to the right. Set the nozzle in a position pointing upwards.

To activate the cooling down sequence simply push the fan button and wait. Text “Cooling!” will appear in the display window. The heat is turned off immediately but the fan will continue to run and will stop automatically after the temperature has dropped to a sufcient cool down level.

Wait until the cooling process is nished before you turn off the power at the main switch.

STOPPING THE MACHINE AND COOLING DOWN
