Weighted effective value of acceleration
The indicated weighted effective value of acceleration has been measured
against standard test procedures and can be used by way of comparison with
another device. The indicated weighted effective value of acceleration can also
be used as a preliminary evaluation of the exposure.
Attention: The indicated weighted effective value of acceleration can differ
during operation from the indicated value, dependent on the manner in which
the device is used. Dependent upon the actual conditions of use (periodic duty)
it may be necessary to establish safety precautions for the protection of the
operator.

2. Preparations for use

2.1. Electrical connection
WARNING
Ensure that the mains voltage is correct! Before connecting the electric
socket welder, check whether the voltage given on the rating plate corresponds
to the mains voltage. On building sites, in a wet environment, indoors and
outdoors or under similar installation conditions, only operate the electrofusion
welder on the mains with a fault current protection switch (FI switch) which
interrupts the power supply as soon as the leakage current to earth exceeds
30 mA for 200 ms.
3. Operation
3.1. Description of process
In the electric sleeve welding process (heater coil welding), the joint is completed
with the sleeve overlapping the end of the pipe. In the process, the joint surfaces
are electrically heated to welding temperature by the resistance wires (heater
coil) arranged in the sleeve, and welded accordingly. The welding unit delivers
the necessary power supply for the type of electrical welding sleeve used. As
soon as the necessary amount of heat has been conducted to the welding
point, the unit switches off automatically. The electric welding sleeve, which
contracts on heating, generates the necessary applied pressure on the joint
surfaces. To super wise a successful weld, a spot indicator on the sleeve changes
colour or an indicator pin appears (Pay attention to the manufacturer's information
of the electric welding sleeve!).
3.2. Preparations for welding
Take care to observe the information issued by the manufacturer of the pipes
or welding sleeves. The end of the pipe must be cut off square and fl at with a
REMS RAS pipe cutter (see 1.1.). In addition, the end of the pipe should be
chamfered to facilitate insertion into the sleeve. This process should be performed
with a REMS RAG pipe chamfering unit (see 1.1.) Immediately before welding,
the end of the pipe should be stripped to the appropriate insertion depth (e.g.
with a scraper) and the surface cleaned with non-adherent paper or a non-
fraying cloth and spirit or industrial alcohol. The welding surfaces must not be
touched again before welding takes place. The connecting sleeve can now be
installed.
3.3. Welding process
261001
Insert sleeve plugs into the receptacles of the electric welding sleeve. Plug
151615
connecting lead of the electric sleeve welding unit to the mains. Press red
290050
rocker switch „Power on" (1) to I. The „Power on" (1) indicator lamp in the rocker
290000
switch lights up. The unit tests itsef. All three control lamps light up briefl y and
290100
a beep sounds. The unit mea sures the resistance of the connected electric
290200
welding sleeve. Once the unit recognizes the electric welding sleeve, the yellow
292110 indicator lamp „Action" (2) lights up. The welding process is initiated by pressing
292210 the rocker switch „Start" (3). A beep sounds and the yellow "Action" control
140119 lamp (2) fl ashes. The required welding voltage will be automatically set by the
unit according to the size of the electric welding sleeve. At the conclusion of
the requisite welding time of approx. 1.5 min, which is also set automatically,
the unit switches off. The green "OK" control lamp (4) lights up and a beep
sounds. If the weld is defective the "Error" control lamp (5) lights up and a beep
40 – 160 mm sounds.
0 – 40°C
After completion of the welding process, move red rocker switch „Power on"
(1) to 0. Remove sleeve plugs.
230 V Allow the welding joints to cool naturally! Do not accelerate the cooling process
≤ 1150 W with water, cold air or similar! For ratings, see the manufac turer's information
50 Hz of pipes and electric welding sleeves.

4. Maintenance
Notwithstanding the maintenance described below, it is recommended to send
120 × 125 × 45 mm
in the power tool to an authorised REMS contract customer service workshop
4,4 m
for inspection and periodic testing of electrical devices at least once a year. In
4,0 m
Germany, such periodic testing of electrical devices should be performed in
accordance with DIN VDE 0701-0702 and also prescribed for mobile electrical
1,4 kg 1,4 kg
equipment according to the accident prevention rules DGUV, regulation 3
"Electrical Systems and Equipment". In addition, the respective national safety
provisions, rules and regulations valid for the application site must be considered
L = ≤ 70 dB(A)
and observed.

4.1. Maintenance
WARNING
≤ 2,5 m/s²
Pull out the mains plug before maintenance work!
K = 1,5 m/s²
Clean the electrofusion welder regularly, especially when it has not been in use
for a long time. The lines of the REMS EMSG 160 must be checked for damage
before every welding process. Store electrofusion welder in a frost-free location.
Clean plastic parts (e.g. housing) only with REMS CleanM machine cleaner
(Art. No. 140119) or a mild soap and a damp cloth. Do not use household
cleaners These often contain chemicals which can damage the plastic parts.
Never use petrol, turpentine, thinner or similar products for cleaning.
Make sure that liquids never get onto or inside the electrofusion welder. Never
immerse the electrofusion welder in liquid.
4.2. Inspection/Repair
WARNING
Pull out the mains plug before carrying out maintenance or repair work!
This work may only be performed by qualifi ed personnel.
The REMS EMSG 160 device is fully maintenance-free.
