Operating Instructions MSA 2 General Information

I General Information

Dear Customer,

Thank you for choosing this product. The electrofusion unit MSA

2.0 is designed according to newest technology. Using it for

purposes other than those described in this manual may cause

injury to the operator or to other people. It may also cause

damage of the machine or other equipments.

To prevent problems, the machine should only be used when in

perfect working conditions; following the safety instructions;

keeping on hand the technical documentation.

Anyway, the manufacturer reserves the right to make technical

changes to MSA 2.0 which may result in differences from the

pictures and information contained in this manual.

To point out relevant aspects operating this electrofusion unit,

symbols are frequently used. The following table contains their

explanation.

Introduction

Operating Instructions MSA 2

1 Introduction

1.1 Product description

The MSA 2.0 is an electrofusion control unit for the electrofusion

jointing of PE (PolyEthylene) and PP (PolyPropylene) pipes.

Fusion parameters input can be accomplished with a fusion

barcode according to ISO/TR 13950 standard or manually.

The internal processor controls the values of welding

parameters, set the power output accordingly and, thanks to the

messages shown in the graphical display, guides the operator

to successfully execute all the necessary operations.

In addition, the MSA 2.0 is tracking and storing in the internal

memory up to 350 welding protocols, (500 for MSA 2.1) that can

be browsed by the user even days or months after the welding

execution.

To ensure high quality fusion cycles, depending on the ambient

temperature, the machine is adjusting automatically the welding

time, for the correct distribution of the energy to the fitting.

Operating Instructions MSA 2 Introduction

1.2 Components description

1.2.1 Operation Controls

There are seven buttons the user can press to operate the

machine. START (green button) and STOP (red button) are the

most important, used to get a confirmation or a stop for all the

actions. The remaining (blue) are auxiliary buttons used for

menu navigation and data entry.

Button Description

()

Moves the cursor to previous field,

increases set values, scrolls characters

()

Moves the cursor to next field, decrement

set values, scrolls characters in reverse

order

()

Moves the cursor to the left

()

Moves the cursor to the right

Enters into additional menus

STOP/ESC

(O)

Stops any operation and the process; goes

back to previous step

START/OK (

Confirms inserted data and starts welding

Introduction

Operating Instructions MSA 2

1.2.2 Display

The graphical display is the main user interface of the welding

machine. It shows the steps to be executed in sequence, the

fusion data, possible errors and alarm messages.

It is possible to change its brightness using the andbuttons

and then save permanently the new value pressing the 

button, in case of limited visibility due to weather conditions. The

operation can be done only when the display shows the fitting

icon

1.2.3 Ambient Temperature Sensor

The outside sensor measures the ambient temperature, to check

the temperature is in the permitted range (between -20° C and

50° C) and adjust the fusion time according to the external

conditions.

1.2.4 USB Interface

The USB type-A interface available on the rear of the machine is

the interface used to upgrade the software version, perform the

calibration of the unit and (MSA 2.1 only) export the protocols.

The connector is protected against dust and water by a cap,

which ensures an IP67 protection factor when properly fixed.

1.2.5 Power Cable

The power cable is delivered with an earthed plug for being

connected to power supply at 230V/50Hz.

The power source can be either the mains or a generator. In the

latter case there are no deterministic rules to select the right

generator output power. Requirements will vary depending on

the efficiency of the generator as well as other factors, like the

power needed by the fitting.

Operating Instructions MSA 2 Introduction

1.2.6 Welding Cable

The fusion cable shall be connected to the fitting pins. As

standard the terminals are supplied with straight female

connectors, Ø4mm.

1.3 Barcode Reader Scanner

The barcode scanner allows a quick reading of welding

parameters by reading the related barcode, pointing the barcode

(at a distance of 10-15 cm) and pressing its button.

The successful reading is confirmed by special acoustic tones

and a display change. In case of drawbacks, to check if the

barcode reader is damaged, you can try to read for test purpose

the code printed below, when the machine shows the barcode

symbol.

If this code is read successfully, the issue is not on the barcode

reader. After usage, remember to place the barcode scanner

into its protective case.

1.4 Extension Cables for Power Supply

To avoid excessive dissipation or brown out, on Extension

cables, use cables with section:

•4mm² for cables ≤ 10m full-run;

•6mm² for cables ≤ 30m full-run.

Introduction

Operating Instructions MSA 2

1.5 START/STOP Card

START / STOP card can be used as alternative to the buttons

on the keypad. For instance, you can confirm the commands or

start the welding process by scanning the START bar code on

the card.

The STOP barcode can be used instead to go back to the

previuos step.
