Start the generator first, then connect the welding unit. The idle voltage should be set to approx. 240 volts,
adjust the voltage if needed. When turning the generator off, disconnect the welding unit first.
CAUTION! The working output power of the generator decreases by about 10% per 1,000 m of altitude.
During the welding process no further devices connected to the same generator should be operated.

The ROWELD ROFUSE Basic 48 allows welding electrofusion fittings that feature a bar code, provided it
conforms to the specification set by the standard ISO TR 13950 Every fitting is provided with a tag with
the bar code on it. The code contains information about the proper welding of the component. It also al-
lows entering some of these data manually.
Before welding starts, a temperature sensor on the welding cable checks the ambient temperature, and
the welding transformer temperature is monitored while welding is in progress. The microprocessor-
£
controlled ROWELD ROFUSE Basic 48 Welding Unit:-
• controls and monitors the welding process in a fully automated way,
• determines welding duration depending on the ambient temperature,
• additionally records the characteristics of the welding process to a report.
