End of Welding
The welding is finished at the end of a successful joining and
cooling stage. The welder has to shut the pressure off from
the pipes using either the manual pressure release valve or
the START/SET key.

Aborted Welding Process
If an error condition is detected, the machine aborts the
welding process and displays the error. However, this is only
possible when welding according to the Weld Control mode
of the butt-welding process. In the manual mode of butt
welding, error detection is not available.
The error that made the welding abort is displayed on the
screen (see Display 32). Additionally, in the welding diagram
the LED that belongs to the welding stage with the malfunc-
tion starts flashing.
The errors listed in the following table can be displayed on
the screen.

Error while entering data with the cursor keys.
Error while reading data from a bar code or an RFID card.
The welding system has to be disconnected immediately
from both the power supply and the basic machine chassis.
The auto-test has detected an error in the system. The
system must no longer be operated, but has to be checked
and possibly repaired. Contact the manufacturer.
The internal clock of the machine is defective; re-set the
clock in the configuration menu.
