4.2.4 Entering oder Changing Further Data on Component Traceability
In the same way as welder identification code, commission and weld-
ing number, other data relating to the components can be entered if
they were enabled in the Configuration Menu. They are requested in
the following order (not all of them in both welding processes than
can be used): length of the 1

pipe, code of the 2

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 Standard Dimension Ratios
(SDR) for the pipes, then a code error is triggered since these
Info
welding parameters must be identical for both pipes.
All data can be entered by using the cursor keys and confirming by
pressing the START/SET key or can be scanned from a bar code or an
RFID card, if available, with the scanner or transponder reader. One
exception is the weather (see Display 13). This option is presented as
a list in which the applicable conditions can be selected by pressing
ñ or ò and confirmed by pressing the START/SET key.
4.3
Butt Welding in the WeldControl Mode
The welding process can be performed fully manually (Manual Mode)
or with the support of the hydraulic, control, and data logging/report
generation unit (WeldControl 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 WeldCon-
trol Mode. How welding is performed in the Manual Mode is explained
from Section 4.4.
If the machine is set to Manual Mode (fully manual welding
process without data logging/report generation), the opera-
tor can switch it to WeldControl Mode by pressing the ï and
ð arrow keys simultaneously.
Info
To start welding, clamp the pipes into the machine chassis. Use the ap-
propriate reducers if the component size is smaller than the basic machine
chassis. When the third clamp of the machine is fastened to its movable
carriage, to move with the first and second pipe clamp, tees and elbows
can be clamped for processing into the fourth pipe clamp of the machine.
Then, to launch the welding process, press the START/SET key.
After all traceability data enabled in the configuration menu were
entered, the parameters of the pipes to be welded have to be entered.
If pipe parameters of an earlier welding are available and no code
error was detected, all welding parameters of the previous welding
are proposed and can be confirmed in one go (see Display 16).
From this display, it is possible to change the pipe parameters by
pressing the STOP/RESET key. Then the first thing is to select the pipe
material in a list; use the ñ and ò cursor keys and confirm by press-
ing the START/SET key (see Display 14). Then the cursor keys allow
entering the diameter and the wall thickness, both confirmed by the
START/SET key (see Display 15). Instead of the wall thickness, you may
want to enter the Standard Dimension Ratio (SDR); then display this
input line instead of the wall thickness line by pressing the ï and ð
simultaneously and enter the SDR value. The machine then displays
