Introduction

The MSA 250SE is a proven fusion unit in the industry, featuring

advanced transformer technology. This unit can be used to join

GF’s Fuseal II, Fuseal Squared, and PPro-Seal polypropylene

products.

The MSA 250SE has the capability to run on both on-site power

(110v/60Hz.) and generator power sources.

All required fusion parameters are programmed into the MSA

250SE by simply scanning a barcode speciﬁc to each pipe size.

Barcodes also provide the capability to perform program

updates for new products in the ﬁeld.

The MSA 250SE has multiple joint capability as well as a built

in fail-safe mode.

Please read all operating instructions prior to use to ensure

safe and proper operation of the MSA 250SE.

Validity

These Operating Instructions are valid for the MSA 250SE

series (beginning with unit number 30000.) The unit number is

located on the identiﬁcation plate, on the right-hand side of the

unit.

Product Description

The MSA 250SE is an electrofusion power control unit for the

joining of polypropylene electrofusion ﬁttings. Fusion

programming of ﬁttings, with a fusion barcode supplied by GF

Piping Systems (Interleaved 2/5 according to ISO/TC138/SC5/

WG12), should be used. Do not attempt to create fusion

barcodes – this will void all warranties. Please contact GF to

ensure you have the latest barcode cards, as they are

periodically improved with new versions.

Power Supply

This unit is designed for a single-phase alternating current of

110VAC/60Hz.

(For more speciﬁc details see the Product Speciﬁcation section

of this guide.)

WARNING: Use AC power only. DC power will damage the

MSA 250SE.

Main Supply

Power connections must have safety conductors (i.e. ground

fault interrupters) and fuses with 16A capacity (inert). An FI

safety switch is recommended.

Generator Operation

There are no set rules to determine the necessary generator

output. Requirements will vary depending on the settings of the

generator, as well as various environmental factors.

Fusion Cables

Only use factory supplied cables.

Extension Cord

The required extension cord is 150 ft. maximum (10 gauge/3

wire minimum.) Unit includes 10 ft. 110 V 3 prong power cord.

Starting Up

• Ensure that the MSA 250SE is standing ﬁrmly and the

ventilators have an unobstructed air supply.

• Conﬁrm correct power connections.

• Operate the MSA 250SE according to the ocial GF

Operating Instructions.

Operation Controls

The display and control functions are located on the front

panel.

1. UP Key

2. START/STOP Key

Switching On

Operation with Barcode

Reader

The barcode reader operates best when held at an angle of 10

to 30 degrees from the vertical position and is run across the

barcode strip in one continuous movement. After use, return

the barcode reader to its protective case. As an option, a

barcode scanner is also available.

Time-based Fusion

After connecting the ﬁtting, the displayed fusion time may

change as a result of temperature compensation.

Manual Operation

MANUAL MODE can be initiated by pressing the up or down

arrows. The fusion voltage and time can be set in this mode:

Manual Input of Fusion Time and

Voltage

Entering the fusion time

The fusion time is entered and displayed in seconds.

1. Press the UP key for approximately 1 second.

• The unit is now in the programming mode.

• The digit to be programmed will blink.

2. Press the UP key several times until the desired number

appears on the display.

• With every push of the key, the active display moves up

one position: 0,1,2,3...9,0,1...

3. The next digit is reached by pressing the UP key for

approximately 1 second.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all 4 digits are inserted.

5. By pressing and holding on the last digit, the input is

conﬁrmed and the process continues with the input of the

fusion voltage.

Entering the fusion voltage

Entering the fusion voltage works the same as entering the

fusion time.

The fusion voltage is displayed in volts. It can be programmed

to an accuracy of 0.1 volts.

By pressing and holding on the last digit, the input is conﬁrmed

and the MSA 250SE is ready for fusion.

If the key is pressed for a longer time on the ﬁrst digit, the input

of the fusion voltage can be skipped over.

End of Fusion

Interrupting the Fusion Process

In case of irregularities, the fusion process can be abandoned

with the START/STOP key at any time. In this case, an error

message will be displayed (refer to Error Messages).

Some cases may lead to an automatic abandonment of the

fusion process (refer to Error Messages).

with spirits if necessary (no solvents or Trichlor products).

Attention: Under no circumstances should the unit be

sprayed, immersed in water or cleaned with compressed air.

Operational Check

Regular, annual operational checks and calibration are neces-

sary, and must be performed by a GF authorized service agent.

Industrial Safety

Regulations

Operating the Unit

Do not let unauthorized or untrained personnel use the unit.

When the unit is not in operation, avoid unauthorized use by

keeping it in a dry, locked room.

Safe operation of the fusion unit can only be ensured when the

following criteria are fulﬁlled:

• appropriate transport

• appropriate storage

• professional installation

• use only in accordance with the intended purpose

• careful handling and operation in accordance with speci-

ﬁed guidelines

• annual maintenance

Attention: The MSA 250SE may only be used under

supervision.

Every person who is involved in the installation and operation

of the fusion unit must be properly trained and certiﬁed by an

ocial GF representative and should follow these Operating

Instructions exactly. Use of the unit can be dangerous, if the

Operating Instructions are not followed.

The unit may not be used in surroundings with a high risk of

explosion.

Check before Operation

Before each operation, check the unit for damage and whether

it is able to function properly. All components must be mounted

correctly to ensure proper operation.

Protection of the Unit

Keep the main lead and secondary cables away from sharp

replaces damaged cables. Do not subject the unit to heavy

mechanical strain. The unit is water spray resistant.

Defective Unit

Arrange for damaged housings or other parts to be replaced or

repaired by an authorized service agent. If the unit is not func-

tioning properly, it must be repaired by an authorized service

agent without delay.

Attention: Only authorized and properly qualiﬁed personnel

are allowed to make repairs on the unit. Such specialized

technicians must be fully aware of all the safety guide-lines,

maintenance measures, and possible dangers described in

this manual.

Opening the Unit

The unit may only be opened by an authorized service agent.

Attention: When the unit has been opened or the housing

removed, parts of the fusion unit are exposed which may be

electrically charged.
