1. Preliminary remarks
1.1 Safety instructions and hints
In these operating instructions, the following symbols with warnings are used:
Symbol Meaning
WARNING! Danger to persons.
Failing to observe this can cause death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Danger to persons.
Failing to observe this can cause low to medium severity
injuries.
NOTICE Danger to objects.
Failure to comply can result in objects damage.
INFORMATION Application tips and other useful information.
Failing to observe this cannot cause injury.
1.2 Intended use
FRIAMAT fusion units are designed to apply a maximum fusion voltage of 48 V
on the following:
• FRIALEN® safety fittings with HDPE pressure pipes (SDR 17-7),
• FRIALEN® XL large pipe installations with HDPE pressure pipes (SDR 17-7),
and
• FRIAFIT® sewage fittings with HDPE sewage pipes (SDR 17-33).
FRIAMAT fusion units can also be used on fittings from other manufacturers
when these components bear a 24 digit barcode complying with ISO
13950:2007-03. With the optional 1D/2D scanner, the new FRIAMAT is also
ready to read and process 2D barcodes according to ISO 12176-5 (Draft). The
power ratings and technical data of both the fittings and the FRIAMAT fusion
unit must be observed (see also Section 3.14 “Technical data”).
Intended use also includes adherence to:
• all of the instructions in these operating instructions,
• the general and specific processing specifications for electrofusion fittings,
and
• the applicable accident prevention regulations, the environmental regula-
tions, the statutory rules, the pertinent safety provisions, and all standards,
laws, and directives applying in the country of use.

2. Safety
2.1 Functional reliability
FRIAMAT fusion units are state of the art, built in accordance with the require-
ments under ISO 12176-2 and the acknowledged safety standards and fitted
with the required safety devices.
Prior to delivery, FRIAMAT fusion units are tested for correct and safe functio-
ning. Failure to operate or otherwise use the equipment properly will pose a
danger to:
• the health of the operator,
• the FRIAMAT fusion unit or other property of the user, or
• the efficiency of work with the FRIAMAT fusion unit.
Safety considerations forbid the following:
• modifications and changes to the FRIAMAT fusion unit and
• working with FRIAMAT fusion units with broken lead seals.
Failing to observe the above makes all warranty claims void.
2.2 The operator’s obligations
Only trained personnel may work with the FRIAMAT fusion unit. In the work
area, the operator is responsible for all third parties. The owner is obliged:
• to make the operating instructions accessible to the operator and
• to ensure that these instructions have been read and understood.
The operating instructions must be kept at all times at the device’s place of use
(ideally in the mesh pocket on the transport box). They must be accessible to
the operator at all times.

2.3 Sources of danger
WARNING!
Electric shock from live parts! Danger of death!
• Never leave the FRIAMAT fusion unit unattended.
• Immediately replace damaged housings, connecting lines, and extension cables.
Stop using the FRIAMAT fusion unit.
• Before all care and maintenance work, pull out the plug connecting the
equipment.
• Maintenance and repair work must be performed by authorised Aliaxis
Deutschland service stations only.
• Supply FRIAMAT fusion units only with the operating voltage specified on
the ratings plate.
• Fit a residual current protective device (RCD) when this is prescribed.
• Do not remove or otherwise put safety installations out of operation.
• Immediately eliminate identified defects.
WARNING!
Danger of fire and explosion from highly flammable materials and potentially
explosive atmospheres!
• Keep away from flammable liquids and gases.
• Do not use in potentially explosive atmospheres (e.g. in areas where flammable
gases, solvent vapours, or ignitable dusts can accumulate).
• Never leave the FRIAMAT fusion unit unattended.
2.4 Mains operation
Out of doors (building sites), power outlets must be fitted with residual current
protective devices (RCDs). The regulations governing RCDs must be observed
here.
NOTICE
Before commencing fusion, check the input voltage. The FRIAMAT fusion unit is
designed for an input voltage range of 190-250 V!

2.5 Generator operation
NOTICE
Only those generators must be used that have been designed for industrial
use on building sites. The operating instructions for the generator must be
observed!
The use of generators must comply with DVGW work sheet GW308, VDE 0100
Part 728, and the specifications and guidelines applying in the country of use.
INFORMATION
The rated power output required from the generator depends on the level
needed for the largest fusion fitting, the connection conditions, the ambient
conditions, the generator type, and its control characteristics. Generators from
different series exhibit highly diverse control characteristics. The suitability of
a specific generator, therefore, cannot be safeguarded even when it provides
the required rated power output according to its technical data sheet.
In cases of doubt, e.g. when acquiring new equipment, contact our service
hotline +49 (0)621 486-1533!
Use only those generators that operate with frequencies within 44-66 'Hz.
First start the generator, and let it run for half a minute. If necessary, adjust the
no-load voltage, limiting it to the voltage specified in the technical data. The
generator (mains) fuse must be at least 16 A (slow blow).
NOTICE
During fusion, do not operate any other consumer from the same generator!
On finishing fusion work, first pull out the plug connecting the device to the
generator, and then switch off the generator.

2.6 Extension cable
When using an extension cable, make sure it has an adequate conductor cross
section:
• 2.5 mm2up to 50 m in length or
• 4 mm2up to 100 m in length.
NOTICE
Danger of overheating in the extension cable!
The extension cable may be used only when it has been completely unwound and
stretched out.
2.7 Opening the device
WARNING!
Electric shock from live parts! Danger of death!
• Never open the FRIAMAT fusion unit when it is supplied with operating voltage!
• FRIAMAT fusion units may be opened only by specialised personnel from an
authorised Aliaxis Deutschland service station!
2.8 Safety measures at the installation site
The connecting and fusion cables must be protected against sharp edges.
Do not expose the FRIAMAT fusion unit to heavy mechanical loads. FRIAMAT
fusion units are splash proof. They may not, however, be immersed in water.
2.9 Emergency
In emergencies, immediately set the main switch to OFF, and disconnect the
FRIAMAT fusion unit from the voltage supply.
