DWELL CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
The dwell control adjustment controls the length
of time the tool continues to rotate the pipe after
the groove diameter stop contacts the top of
the hydraulic cylinder. The dwell control timer is
adjustable for time range and pipe size settings.
When adjusted to the proper pipe size, the pipe
will rotate a minimum of one revolution after
the groove diameter stop contacts the hydraulic
cylinder. This ensures that the groove in the pipe
will be of uniform depth around the entire pipe
circumference.
TIME RANGE ADJUSTMENT
The time range setting will set the operating
parameters of the timer.
1.
To adjust the time range setting, rotate the
timer dial counterclockwise completely until
the range settings are visible on the dial.
CAUTION
• Use only a #0 Phillips-head screwdriver to
adjust the range screw.
Failure to follow this instruction may
damage the screw head.
2. If necessary, rotate the time range screw,
located in the lower left-hand corner of the
timer, to the desired range shown on the
dial face.
NOTE:
VE460 tools are factory
set in the
“SEC-10”
position. Use only a
#0 Phillips head screwdriver to adjust the
range screw. Use of any tools other than a
#0 Phillips-head screwdriver may damage
the screw head.
•
For 4 – 38-inch/114.3 – 965.0-mm pipe
sizes, set the timer range to
“SEC-10”
•
For 40 – 60-inch/1016.0 – 1524.0-mm
pipe sizes, set the timer range to
“SEC-50”
CAUTION
• The timing range must be set properly for
the pipe size being grooved.
Failure to follow this instruction could cause
excessive or insufficient dwell, resulting in
improper groove diameters and grooves that
are not uniform in depth.
