Operating Instructions MSA 2 CF Introduction

1 Introduction
1.1 Product description
The MSA 2 CF is an electrofusion control unit for the
electrofusion jointing of COOL-FIT PE (PolyEthylene) 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 COOLFIT is tracking and storing in the
internal memory up to 1000 welding protocols, 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 CF Introduction

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 Emergency Stop Switch

Pushing the E-stop switch instantly shuts off the power to the
processor

1.2.3 Ambient Temperature Sensor

The outside sensor measures the ambient temperature, to check
the temperature is in the permitted range (between 0° F and
120° F) 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 export the protocols. The connector is
protected against dust and water by a cap, which ensures an
IP67 protection factor when properly fixed.

7
Introduction Operating Instructions MSA 2 CF

1.2.5 Power Cable

The power cable is delivered with an earthed plug for being
connected to power supply at 115V/60Hz.
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.
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.

8
Operating Instructions MSA 2 CF Introduction

1.4 Extension cords and pigtails

Due to the high amperage draw of electrofusion fittings, the use
of an extension cord is not encouraged. In the event such usage
is necessary, the following lengths and wire gauges are
recommended:
Cord Length Wire Gauge
25 ft. # 10/3 (6 mm2)
50 ft. # 8/3 (10 mm2)
Extension cords should not be used on large couplers.
A pigtail is an adapter for converting from a 30 amp twist-lock to
a 15 amp straight blade plug. Its purpose is for powering the
processor where a NEMA L5 socket is not available, especially
while downloading. Its use is not recommended in field
applications with electrofusion fittings over 63mm in diameter.

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.

Next paragraphs describe step by step the interactions with the

electrofusion unit.

2.2 Switching On

Attention Before connecting the machine to the power source, please

read the chapter 6 ‘Technical characteristics‘ and check the
input voltage (100V-130V). If a generator is used, this has to be
started before connecting the electro-fusion unit and must
supply a constant output voltage! Any sudden changes could
compromise the correct welding result and/or damage the
control unit.
Connect the machine to the power mains or generator (100v-
130V) when the generator is already started. At power on the
display shows the machine information: machine type, software
version and serial number.

2.3 Material selection

As soon as the scanner is enabled during the power on, select
the plastic material: the MSA 2 CF can weld PE, PP-R,
PP/PVDF or PB INSTAFLEX fittings. As the fusion parameters
change depending on the material, the user has to set the
proper one. This shall be done reading with the scanner the
desired barcode, out of the 4 shown below

11
Fusion process Operating Instructions MSA 2 CF

As soon as the MSA 2 CF has captured the code, it will change

the icons accordingly. For PE:

If the machine is switched off, the last setting will be shown at

the next power-on.

12
Operating Instructions MSA 2 CF Fusion process

2.4 Connect fitting

The next step consists of connecting the fitting to the machine
leads. The MSA 2 CF asks this with a prolonged sound. The
LED of the barcode scanner blinks to inform you have to do it.
Awaiting for that, the display shows the icon of a fitting and the
information about ambient temperature and current date/time.

t = ----s
Vo= --.-V
R = --.--Ω
12/06/19 15:50 70°F

As soon as a fitting presence is recognized, the MSA 2 CF

moves automatically forward, asking for the fusion parameters.
This is also pointed out by a double short tone of the MSA 2 CF
and the barcode scanner. The scanner LED switches off too, to
alert the operator that it is ready to accept commands.
In case of PP, as there may be multiple coils connected in
parallel, the MSA 2 CF will show roughly how many are present:
to do that, the user has to connect the coils one after the other,
and the unit will add a bullet, on the screen to report the coil is
ok (connected properly, no short or open circuit) or not.

2.5 Enter operator code/job number

At the beginning you may add some work site information, like
the operator code and the job number for the next welding.
The reading of the operator code can be set as mandatory or left
optional.
When the leads are properly connected to the fitting, the control
unit checks the fitting resistance and displays it.
Before the acquisition of the fusion parameters, you can read
with the scanner the operator code (ISO 12176-3 compliant) and
the job number.
Alternatively, you can enter operator code and job number
manually, pressing the STOP button for 2” to enable the “edit”
mode, and then inserting the characters using () and () and
() () to change field. Once the data are entered, you can
confirm with the START button.

code is entered, blocking the acquisition of the fusion

parameters.

2.6 Enter fusion data

After that, you can insert the fusion parameters reading the
barcode information with the scanner.
If the barcode cannot be read with a scanner for any reason, the
data can be entered manually.
In case of manual mode, the machine works in different ways,
depending on the material selection.
If the material selection is PE or PP-R, then time and voltage
values must be entered, pressing the START/OK ( I ) button to
go in “edit” mode and then using () and () to select the
required digits and () () to change field. Once the values are
entered, must be pushed START/OK ( I )
If the mode is PP, the manual mode is based on a list of
selectable items the user can see pressing the START button.
With () and () he can choose the fitting, confirming with the
START/OK button.

As soon as the data are correctly read from the barcode or

selected manually, the machine confirms with a double acoustic
tone and show on the display a summary of the captured fusion
parameters: time, voltage and expected coil resistance.

t = 0040s
Vo= 39.5V
R = 07.45Ω
12/06/12 15:50 25°C

When the operator confirms his intent of starting the fusion

process, pressing the START/OK ( I ) button, the unit will start to
weld.
If fusion parameters are not acquired, there might be several
reasons:
• The barcode reader may be operated in a wrong way: try to
put it closer to the barcode
• The barcode may be damaged
• The data are not the expected ones (prolonged tone
generated by the machine): the barcode read does not
contain fusion parameters
As soon as the data are correctly read from the barcode, the
machine confirms with a double acoustic tone and show on the
display a summary of the captured fusion parameters: time,
voltage and expected coil resistance.

Operating Instructions MSA 2 CF Fusion process

When you confirm the intent of starting the fusion process,

pressing the START/OK button, the unit will start to weld.
If the barcode is not correct the machine and the scanner give
both a prolonged tone to ask for the correct one. In case of
inconsistency between measured versus scanned parameters
the machine shows instead a message screen, with the proper
error like the following one (fitting resistance too high in respect
to the nominal value).

2.8 Fusion process

2.8.1 Welding phase
During the fusion process, the display shows the information
concerning the output voltage, the remaining fusion time and the
applied energy.

t = 0020s
Vo= 39.7V
E = 003.1kJ
N 150

Note The machine adjusts the fusion time according to the external
temperature and barcode information. Therefore the final fusion
time values might be slightly different from the nominal values,
captured from the barcode.
The fusion process can be stopped at any time by pushing
STOP/ESC. Then the fusion process immediately stops and an
error message occurs (see ‘Error Messages’ chapter).

Warning Stopping the on-going fusion process will result in a suspicious

welding: the responsibility will be in charge of the operator.
When the fusion operation is going to finish, a repeated acoustic
signal alerts you that the process is near to complete. As soon as
the fusion process is correctly concluded, the display shows briefly
the information concerning the real fusion time, the average voltage
and the total energy applied to the jointing. These data will be part
of the welding protocol stored into the internal memory.

t = 0040s
Vo= 39.6 V
E = 007.5kJ

Warning Remove the external clamp only when the cooling time is
expired!

Danger of burning!
The fitting area is hot! Pay attention during the removal of the
cables.
Danger Do not leave unattended the MSA during the fusion and cooling
time!

When the cooling time is going to finish or finished, an acoustic

signal alerts the user the process is near to complete.

2.9 Welding check

The electro-fusion fittings are equipped with pins, giving evidence of
the heating process occurred: double check if they are sticking out.
Attention This indication is not enough to ensure the quality of the
welding, but just confirming the heating has occurred!
Therefore please follow the instructions of the fitting
manufacturer.
