Danger to life when opening the tool, as live compo-

nents and connections ar exposed. Unplug the tool

before opening it.

Incorrect use of hot air blowers can cause fire and

explosion hazard, especially near combustible materials

and explosive gases.

The tool must be operated with supervision. Warmth

can reach combustible materials, which are out of sight.

For personal protection on building sites we strongly

recommend the tool be connected to a GFCI (Ground

Fault Circuit Interrupter) or a RCCB (Residual Current

Circuit Breaker) .

The voltage rating stated on the tool must correspond to

the line/mains voltage.

Do not touch the element housing and nozzle when

they are hot as they can cause burns. Let the tool cool

down. Do not point hot air flow in the direction of

people or animals.

Protect tool from damp and wet.

TECHNICAL DATA LEISTER Twinmat (4M1)

DESCRIPTIONS OF FUNCTIONS LEISTER Twinmat (4M1)

•Heating system ➝The hot air temperature is electronically steplessly adjusta-

ble and electronically controlled for heating up the hot air wedge. Digital

display of SET and ACTUAL value. The flexible hot air wedge has three heat

zones:

Pre-heating, contact heating, material plasticising with hot air.

•Welding pressure ➝steplessly adjustable, digital ACTUAL value display. The

welding pressure is transmitted via the toggle lever to the pressure rollers.

During the welding process the pressure is matched linearly to the change

in thickness of the membrane (e.g. T-joint).

•Drive ➝electronically steplessly adjustable and electronically controlled. Digi-

tal display of SET and ACTUAL value. The power transmission works through a

three stage planetary gear. Should rippling occur in the laid-out geomem-

brane liners, the upper or lower drive/pressure roller can be switched over

alternatively.

★Mains voltage cannot be switched over

•Monitoring the welding seam ➝Contactless recording of the seam thickness

reduction data, which is displayed digitally for the welding operator during

the welding operation. Additionally, the seam thickness reduction is graphi-

cally recorded onto a paper print out continuously during the welding ope-

ration.

• Speed control system

The influence of weather such as sun, shade, wind and moisture, which cause

a temperature change in the lining membrane during the welding process,

can lead to weld faults. The TWINMAT speed control system interprets the data

from the continuous measurement of the welding seam geometry. Through

automatic adjustment of the welding speed, such weld faults are avoided.

The welding operation can be done either with or without the speed control

system. If the lower seam thickness reduction tolerance is exceeded, the

welding speed slows down automatically; if the upper seam thickness reduc-

tion tolerance is exceeded, the welding speed is increased.

C : Width of test channel 15 +/- 2 mm

D : Width of weld ≥15 mm

•Welding seam geometry ➝The proof of quality in a welding seam (peel test,

tensile test) depends upon the thickness reduction in the area of the seam.

With a seam thickness reduction ranging between 0.2 – 0.8 mm, the welding

seam geometry is within the permissable range (DVS 2225 part II, BAM). This

permissable range reflects the optimum interaction of welding parameter

temperature, welding pressure and speed under changing ambient condi-

tions during the welding process.

Basic display

To get an accurate reading,

before welding, the operator

must adjust the seam thickness

reduction display. The value

on the display should read

zero. See page 7 Display (6).

As the knurl pressure rollers

press into the geomembrane

material according to the

welding pressure, the electro-

nic processor already inter-

prets this as seam thickness

reduction and it should there-

fore be neutralised accord-

ingly.

The automatic adjustment of

the welding speed can be set

before starting the welding

process by using the ON/OFF

switch.

The print-out mode must be

selected before starting the

welding process.

–Graphic mode

Continuous recording and

print-out of the seam thick-

ness reduction over the whole

length of the welded seam

– Tolerance mode

Recording of the seam

thickness reduction is only

printed out if the seam

thickness reduction toleran-

ce has been exceeded.

Recording Mode

Speed Control System

Seam thickness reduction - offset

Before welding, the operator must enter the thickness of the geomembrane

material. The electronic processor requires this value to calculate the relevant

seam thickness reduction. Depending on the material thickness, the range of

seam thickness reduction is automatically adjusted on the print-out. The mate-

rial thickness settings should not be changed during the welding process.

Diagnosis

If the welding data needs to be stored on a memory

card, before starting the welding process, the operator

should set the memory card level to ON. (See special

operating instructions for Memory Card).

The following data is stored:

– welding speed

– welding temperature

– pressure

– seam thickness reduction

– ambient temperature

– length of welding seam

If there is a deviation from the seam thickness reduction

tolerance, an audible signal is activated. This signal can be

set to ON/OFF on the alarm menu.

The welding operator has a choice of different langua-

ges. • German

• English

•French

• Italian

• Spanish

Depending on the choice, the terms are shown in the

selected language on the display. This should not be

changed during the welding process.

The welding operator can make changes to time and

date on the Date/Time menu.

(Summer/winter time, different time zones).

Adjustments are made at the factory on the Diagnosis

menu. The welding operator has no access to this menu.

Slacken the paper feed with the

tension lever (1).

Feed in paper (2).

Pay attention to the direction of

the arrow.

Tighten the paper feed with the

tension lever (1).
