I General Information
Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing this product. The electrofusion MSA 2
CF 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.
Safety
Please read and understand this instruction manual before using
the MSA electrofusion processor.
Safety standards and precautions should be followed at all
times.
Do not use or store the MSA electrofusion processor where
volatile gas concentrations may be present.
Only properly trained and qualified personnel should use the
MSA electrofusion processor.
Treat electrical equipment as a potential source of ignition and
follow proper practices for working in an explosive atmosphere.
The electrofusion Processor must be located out of the trench.
For protection against the risk of electric shock, connect the
MSA electrofusion processor only to properly grounded outlets.
Use only up-to-date fusion information supplied by the
manufacturer of the fitting when fusing in manual mode.
To point out relevant aspects operating this electrofusion unit,
symbols are frequently used. The following table contains their
explanation.

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.

1.2 Components description
1.2.1 Operation Controls
There are seven buttons you 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
MENU Enters into additional menus
STOP/ESC
(O)
Stops any operation and the process; goes
back to previous step
START/OK
(I) Confirms inserted data and starts welding

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 andbuttons
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.

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.
