1 – VERIFICATION OF ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO THE POWER SUPPLY LINE

The WM1 has been realised to be connected to the 400 / 415 V three-phase line plus neutral.
From our experiences we learnt that, sometimes, the connections of the machine to the electric supply
line do not observe what we required especially in the neutral connection.
It is very important to verify that the power supply voltage is within the following range:
Phase Black 400 V (+/-10%)
Phase Black
Phase Brown 400 V (+/-10%)
Neutral Light blue 230 V (+/-10%)
Ground Yellow /Green 0V
Therefore, between each phase and the neutral there must be 230 V (+/-10%) (should the condition occur
that this voltage is higher, the electronic parts of the machine would be damaged irremediably!!!).
It is very important to verify that the neutral lead is tightly connected, because if this
connection fails, the electronic parts connected to it assume very high voltage values that
damage it!!
Between neutral and ground there must be 0 Volt.

2 – CHECK / MODIFICATION OF EARTH CONNECTIONS OF THE BOARDS
The Pertici technical office carried out some tests on the machine and has been verified that connecting
the electronic board with some tips, the immunity from the machine noises is highly improved.
The first WM1 produced by Pertici did not have these devices, therefore, in case of service for one of
these machines, it is necessary to carry out these connections.
Fix the thermocouple/s screen

to the bottom plate verifying
that the connection is good.
(Caution: remove the lack
under the fixing plate in
order to get a perfect
electrical connection)
Connect Pin 1 and 3 of J4 to

the ground using 2 very short
1.5 mm2leads . Fix them
together with the bottom plate
by means of a self-tapping
screw (Caution: remove the
lack under the cable
terminal in order to get a
perfect electrical
connection)
Connect to ground the aluminium

dissipator using 1 very short 1.5 mm2
lead .
Fix it to the bottom plate with a self-
tapping screw (Caution: remove
the lack under the cable terminal
in order to get a perfect electrical
connection)

Connect the 2.5 mm2 lead (coming
from the electric cabinet) and the
lead coming from the keyboard, with
the bottom plate (self-tapping screw)
(Caution:remove the lack under
the cable terminal in order to get
a perfect electrical connection)
Connect the terminal 4 of J3 with a

1.5 mm2 lead, as short as possible,
to the bottom plate
(Caution: remove the lack under
the cable terminal in order to get
a perfect electrical connection)

3 – PROCEDURE FOR REPLACEMENT OF CABLES CONNECTING TO THE HEATING
PLATE
The first WM1, produced by PERTICI, have been realised with the heating plates provided with cables
insulated with fibre glass and directly connected to the tubes of the resistor.
After many working cycles, these cables can be damaged and detach from the resistor’s tubes.
To repair the heating plate it is only necessary to use a repair kit produced expressly by the PERTICI
S.p.A.
The procedure for the installation of this kit follows.
- Disconnect the machine from the electric and pneumatic supply net.
- Remove the rear door (A) (PICTURE 1, partially unscrewing the 2 screws (B) (PICTURE 1) and
completely the 2 screws (C) (PICTURE 1).
Caution: before removing the rear door, disconnect also the ground cable connected to it in point (D)
(PICTURE 1).
(PICTURE 1)

- Disconnect from the terminal board the 2 red and blue leads (A) of the thermocouple, and the 2 beige
coloured power cables (C) of the heating plate (PICTURE 2), using a very small screw driver.
(PICTURE 2)

- Open the front door, loosening the 2 screws (A) (PICTURE 3).
(PICTURE 3)

Caution: if the whole sliding support of the heating plate did not move downwards, press it by hand to
position it as in (PICTURE 4).
- Go to the rear part of the machine and disassemble the machine heating plate, unloosing the 2 screws
(A) (PICTURE 4), using a 13 mm open wrench.
- Remove the two U-bolts for sheath support in black plastic, completely unloosening the 2 screws (B)
(PICTURE 4), using a 3 mm. hexagonal wrench.
(PICTURE 4)

- Remove completely the red sheath at the exit of each lead of the resistor (PICTURE 5).
(PICTURE 5)
- After having removed the red sheath, remove the connectors where the old cables had been fixed. By
means of a file, file the material of the old connectors until you see only the conductors of the resistor (pin
with a 3 mm diameter) (PICTURE 6).
Attention: this is the most delicate job to be carried out, proceed then with care until you reach
a condition as in the following PICTURE:
(PICTURE 6)

- Enter detail (A) into the outgoing tubes of the resistor up to about 6-7 mm distance from the plate.
(PICTURE 7) and lock the two headless screws (B), by means of a 2,5 mm hexagonal wrench .
6-7 mm.
(PICTURE 7)
- enter the two brass terminals (A) into the leads with a 3 mm diameter (B), being careful not to touch
with them the resistor tubes. Keep them at a distance of 1,5 – 2 mm. (PICTURE 8).

- Reassemble the heating plate partially tightening the screws (A) (PICTURE 12), by means of a 13 mm
open wrench 13 mm.
- Pass the power cables of the plate and of the thermocouple through the sheath (B) (PICTURE 12) and
fix the sheath by means of the 2 U-bolts of black plastic (C) (PICTURE 12).
(PICTURE 12)

- Check that the heating plate is perpendicular to the working surface, using a 90° square (PICTURE
13), then lock the 2 screws (A) (PICTURE 12).
(PICTURE 13)
- Mount the teflon plate on the heating plate.
- Adjustment of the inductive sensor of end of fusion.
Disconnect the electrical and pneumatic supply of the machine and position it as in (PICTURE 14),
(heating plate, left locking plate and right locking plate in a low position).
(PICTURE 14)

- Press by hand all the right mobile part towards the fixed left part until you reach the position as in
(PICTURE 15), with the 4 blocks made of a thermoresistant material (A) (PICTURE 15) perfectly in
contact with the plate (B) (PICTURE 15).

1,3 mm.
(PICTURE 16)
- Connect now the machine to the electric line, light it on by means of the main switch and verify the
correct lighting of the led (A) (PICTURE 17) of the proximity switch.
(PICTURE 17)

- If the led of the proximity switch (A) (PICTURE 17) does not light on, repeat the regulation as described
above, until the led is lighted on.
- Connect the thermocouple again to the electronic board A (PICTURE18).

Connect the blue lead to pin 9 of connector J4 (higher) and the red conductor to pin 8 (lower).
Attention: connect the screening of the thermocouple to the bottom plate!!!
- Connect the power cables of the heating plate again to the lower terminal board B (PICTURE 18).
(PICTURE 18)

-Assemble the rear door (A) (PICTURE 19), entering, into screws (B) (PICTURE 19) and tightening
completely the 2 screws (C) (PICTURE 19) first and then the 2 screws (B) (PICTURE 19).
(PICTURE 19)

- Close the front door, tightening the two screws (A) (PICTURE 20).
(PICTURE 20)

4 – PROCEDURE FOR REGULATION OF THE SAFETY DEVICE “SAFE TOUCH”
The welding machines WM1 have been realised with two different power boards, that are easily
recognisable by the number of fuses on them (6 fuses installed on the new board, 5 installed on the old
one)

Adjustments for the electronic board, new type.
RV4
RV3 DL38
1) Turn the machine on and connect the pneumatic equipment.
2) All connectors of the electronic boards must be entered as in normal conditions.
3) Use a voltmeter (Voltage to be measured between 5 and 7 V c.c.).
4) Adjust the trimmer RV3 in order to obtain a voltage of 6.50 V between points G and V.
5) Adjust the trimmer RV4 in order to obtain a voltage of 6.40 V between points G and T.
The absolute values of voltages between G-V and G-T are not extremely important, this device is based
on the difference of the two voltages that in the above mentioned case is of 0.10 V.
The lower is the difference between the two voltages, the more sensitive is the device “safe Touch”. As a
rule, it is correct to set this difference at 0.10 V.

If the system has been correctly adjusted, the LED DL38 must be on.

3) Use a voltmeter (Voltage to be measured from 5 to 7 V c.c.).
4) Adjust the trimmer RV3 with the aim to obtain the voltage of 6.50 V between points GND and PIN3.
5) Adjust the trimmer RV4 with the aim to obtain the voltage 6.40 V between points GND and PIN2.
The absolute values of voltages between GND-PIN3 and GND-PIN2 are not extremely important, this
device is based on the difference of the two voltages that in the above mentioned case is of 0.10 V.
The lower is the difference between the two voltages, the more sensitive is the device “safe Touch”. As a
rule, it is correct to set this difference at 0.10 V.
If the system has been correctly adjusted, the LED DL38 must be on.

5 –SOFTWARE UPDATE
This function permits to update the program on the machine controller in case of modifications.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Some machines have been put on the market with the P89C51RD+IN microprocessor wrongly
programmed.
There is the possibility that a security bit, protecting the microprocessor from other writings of
the program, has been wrongly programmed.
IN THIS CASE, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO CARRY OUT THE PROGRAM UPDATING ON THE
MACHINE.
We suggest to get information about the type of microprocessor installed on the machine on
which you are going to update the program. If it is the P89C51RD+IN microprocessor, contact
PERTICI S.p.A. to receive a board with a different processor.
PERTICI S.p.A. will give the board with the formula of replacement under warranty. The board
removed from the machine must be returned to us.

5.2.1 – IDENTIFICATION OF THE MICROPROCESSOR
Before executing the updating, it is necessary to identify the type of microprocessor installed on
the board to be updated as there are many different types:
P89C51RD2BN
P89C51RD2HBP
P89C51RD+IN (IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO UPDATE THE PROGRAM, CONTACT PERTICI
SPA )
Verify which type has been installed on the board to be programmed, read the number on the
microprocessor itself (see indication FIG 1).
5.2.2 – PROGRAM INSTALLATION
From the “Windows Explorer” program run the FlashMagic.exe program and follow the indications
on video to install the program.
5.2.3 – PROGRAM UPDATING
Turn the machine on (the cable must be already connected).
Act once on the push button connected to the programming cable (close to the connector on the
electronic board side). The board receive a reset impulse and is ready for programming.
Run the program FlashMagic (from menu START).
If the microprocessor to be programmed is the P89C51RD2BN use the settings indicated in the
following screen:

If the microprocessor to be programmed is the P89C51RDHBP use the settings indicated in the
following screen:
It is obviously possible to set a different serial port as “COM PORT” if your PC uses a port different from
COM1.
Click on “BROWSE” to look for and select the file “.hex” to be downloaded onto the card.
In case you have to update the program on a WM2L-S, the file for the mobile head must be
DOPPIA.HEX, while the file for the fixed head must be REMOTO.HEX.
Click on “START” to begin the programming.
The program FlashMagic will indicate the process of the various phases on the line below.
In case of communication problems with the controller, on the display appears a TIMEOUT error:
Verify then:
- the correct cable connection (attention to the side of the cable that must be connected to the PC
and the one that must be on the control units);
- that the bridges are correctly entered;
- that the machine is on;

In case the communication is correct, the display will show the writing process and, at the end of
programming, the computer will show the starting screen again.
Always check the initial indications of the controller to verify the type of version that has been installed.
Now the program updating on the machine is over.
ATTENTION
Be sure that the machine and the PC are turned off before disconnecting the serial cable
SET THE BRIDGES IN THEIR PREVIOUS POSITION AGAIN

6 - COMPLETE MEMORY RESETTING
The complete memory resetting is necessary in the following cases:
1) When turning the machine on for the first time, after loading the program on a new electronic board.
2) When there are strange functioning problems of the machine, that can not be easily understood.
6.1 – RESETTING
ATTENTION
This function resets completely all data present in the machine memory:
After this function it is necessary to set again the data for: PARAMETERS, TEMPERATURES
AND TIMERS; WITHOUT THESE DATA THE MACHINE CAN NOT WORK PROPERLY.
From main menu press key <HELP>
A new menu appears, press key 4 – RESET MEMORY
On the display appears the writing PASSWORD:
Digit the password 0571 and press key <ENTER>
The display shows:
WM1L-S ON
CORD.RISC ON
LINGUA 0
ADC 10BIT OFF
From this menu we can enter the main features of the machine:
If the machine is a WM1L-S, leave the first parameter to ON or, if the machine is a WM1L-E, press
ENTER to change it into OFF.
Press the arrow key down (the cursor moves to the second line).
If the machine is provided with the optional “HEATED SEAL LIMITATION BLADES” leave this
parameter to ON, otherwise press on ENTER to change it into OFF.
Press the arrow key down (the cursor moves to the third line).
Set the software language, typing a number chosen among one of those indicated here under:
0=Italian
1=English
2=French
3=German
4=Polish
5=Spanish
Press the arrow key down (the cursor moves to the fourth line).
Leave unchanged the setting on OFF (not used at the moment).
Press the arrow key down, the display will show:
D.TEMP.A.T. 50.0
AMPLIFIC. 299
Leave these two parameters unchanged (it is not necessary to change them at the moment).
Press ESC, the display shows:
SALVATAGGIO IN CORSO
As soon as menu Help appears again, press ESC to return to the main menu, TURN THE MACHINE
OFF AND ON AGAIN.
In these conditions, the machine has all default parameters loaded into memory and begins to heat the
plate. It will be necessary to verify if the temperature measured on the plate corresponds to the one given
by the display and eventually correct it (indications will be given in the next chapters).
For the moment, let the plate heat until it reaches the preset temperature.

7 – AUTOMATIC PROCESS FOR THE ACQUISITION OF THE PID VALUES FOR THE
THERMOREGULATION
The software version 2.0.0 has a new PID thermoregulation process with auto-tuning when starting.
This new process permits to automatically calculate the machine working parameters independently
from the type of heating plate and thermocouple used and independently from the environmental
conditions surrounding the same machine.
When turning the machine on, the program Ver. 2.0.0 heats the plate in ON-OFF mode until it reaches
the preset temperature (e.g. 245°C), then carries out two cycles with the temperature above the preset
one and let the plate cool up to return under the preset value.
At the end of this procedure, the machine registered the values that enable to calculate the working
parameters and the control turns completely automatic (the machine is ready to work).
The auto-tuning procedure occurs then at every turning on with cold plate or at every turning on with the
plate at a temperature at least 50°C lower than the preset one.
According to our tests, this new software is able to perform a very good control of the temperature
avoiding the sudden changes that can stop the working cycle, should anyway occur that the machine is
not able to hold the plate at the preset temperature and there are frequent interruptions of the work with
the indication “WAIT TILL MACHINE IN TEMPERATURE”. It is recommended to turn the machine off and
wait some minutes (so that the plate can cool up off at least of 50°C), then turn the machine on again (the
program will carry out a new auto-tuning cycle).
8 – DEBUG DISPLAYING
On the 2.0.0 version, it is possible to see some information concerning the temperature control on the
machine display.
This information is useful to understand if the machine is able to maintain the preset temperatures of
plate and blades within the tolerance limits during a working day.
From the main menu press on F2, on the display appears:
O 89P 89 T 438 t2458

T:1 T1:4 T2:4
T:245.2>245 t50>50
P)+1 60- 0 0
FIRST LINE:
O= 89
It indicates the power value that the electronic board gave during the previous PID to the heating
plate.
The number 89 in the example, means that assuming the period of one second as the 100% of
time, the board will give power for 89 hundredths of a second and will not give power for the

remaining 11 hundredths.
P=
It indicates the value of the power given by the electronic board, while the PID is in process, to
the heating plate.
The number 89 in the example, means that assuming the period of one second as the 100% of
time, the board will give power for 89 hundredths of a second and will not give power for the
remaining 11 hundredths.
T=
The value T is determined during the auto-tuning phase and is the time passing between 2 PID (in
the example T=438 = 4 seconds and 38 cents).
The board will then correct the power value supplied to the plate with time intervals indicated with T
(every 4” and 38”’).
t=
t indicates the instant value of the plate that is updated every 600 thousandths of a second.
SECOND LINE
T:=
T indicates the value of the error between the preset temperature and the read one during the last
PID cycle (1 indicates a tenth of a degree).
T1:=
T1 indicates the value of the error between the preset temperature and the read one during the
last but one PID cycle (4 indicates 4 tenths of a degree).
T2:=
T2 indicates the value of the error between the preset temperature and the read one during the
last but two PID cycle (4 indicates 4 tenths of a degree).
THIRD LINE
The third line of the display shows the standard indications of the main menu.
FOURTH LINE
P) indicates the data of the plate
+1
It indicates that the plate’s temperature exceeded the upper tolerance limit once
(e.g. 245 + 3=248°C) the plate exceeded then 248 °C once.
60
It indicates the time (in seconds) during which the temperature value of the plate exceeded the
upper tolerance limit.

0
It indicates how many times the plate temperature has gone below the lower tolerance limit
(e.g. 245 - 3 =242°C) the plate has gone under the 242 °C.
0
It indicates the time (in seconds) during which the value of the plate temperature has gone below
the lower tolerance limit.
Pressing again F2, only the displaying of the fourth line of the display changes. Namely the first letter
becomes “C”.
The data following the letter C refer to the heated seal limitation blades and mirror the meaning of
previously indicated ones for the plate.
Press F2 again to return to the normal displaying.

9 – MACHINE PARAMETERS AND OPTIONALS
This function is protected by a password in order to avoid an involuntary modification of parameters and
to cause a bad functioning of the machine.
The access to the machine parameters is therefore reserved to the specialised technicians.
ATTENZIONE
Parameters are different from a machine to another. In case of need, ask the PERTICI S.p.A. for
the list of parameters, giving the machine serial number.
9.1 - HOW TO GET TO THE MACHINE PARAMETERS
1) From the main menu press key <HELP>.

1) Welding machine type; press <ENTER> to enable/disable the WM1L-S model.

The WM1L-S uses the magnetic limit switches on the cylinders, while the WM1L-E uses internal
timers to control the machine cycle.
2) Allowed tolerance degrees to enable the welding cycle: if the measured temperature is lower or
higher than the pre-set tolerance value the program tries to bring the plate to its temperature and
meanwhile shows “WAIT FOR MACHINE IN TEMPERATURE”.
3) Max. settable temperature on the plate.
4) Max. settable temperature on the seals.
5) N.CIC.TEST.:10
6) CORD. RISC.:ON
7) D.%C.INF.DX:-25
8) D.%C.SUP.DX:-50
5) This parameter indicates to the program after how many welding cycles the safety test “SAFE
TOUCH” must be carried out. The minimum accepted value is 1, the maximum is 15.
To carry out the test, just touch the plate of the keyboard and the plate of one clamping kit (right or
left hand).
6) Enable signal for the heating of seal limitation blades, press <ENTER> to enable/disable it.
7) The optional device “seal limitation blades” comprehends 4 cartridge thermo-resistors, one for
each blade.
The thermocouple sensing the real temperature value has been installed on the lower left hand
blade, which is therefore the only blade with a “closed ring” automatic control.
The other blades are heated according to the values of the left hand lower blade, but need
correction values according to the machine characteristics.
Parameter 7 indicates the difference in percentage, applied to the lower right hand blade in
comparison with the lower left hand blade (reference blade) to bring it to the desired temperature
together with the other seals.
The value “-25” indicates therefore, that the lower right hand blade will be heated by the 25%
minus than the left one.

8) This is the difference in percentage, applied to the upper right hand blade in comparison with the
lower left hand blade (reference blade) to bring it to the desired temperature together with the
other seals.
9)D.%C.SUP.SX:-50
10)TIM.DISC.B.:1.5

1)K :916
2)TI :45.90
3)TD :11.47
4)TPID :4.59
1) The K constant is a numeric value automatically determined at each turning on by means of the
auto-tuning procedure.
This value varies according to the environmental conditions and the type of plate used on the
machine. DO NOT MODIFY THIS PARAMETER MANUALLY
2) TI is the value of the integrative component of the PID (this value is also calculated by the program
automatically).
3) TD is the value of the derivative component of the PID (this value is also calculated by the
program automatically).

4) TPID is the time interval, expressed in seconds, passing between the execution of one PID
calculation cycle PID and the following one (this value is also calculated by the program
automatically).

7)% MAN CORD. :0
8)D.T.C.PID :2
5) Correction of the plate temperature

This value permits to calibrate the indication of the plate’s temperature on the display with the
temperature effectively read on the plate. The simplest method to calibrate this temperature
consists in using the relevant function in menu “HELP” (see chap. 10)
6) Correction of the blades temperature

This value permits to calibrate the indication of the temperature of the seal limitation blades on
the display with the temperature effectively read on the blades. The simplest method to calibrate
this temperature consists in using the relevant function in menu “HELP” (see chap.11)
7) Numeric value showing the heating percentage to be applied to the seal limitation blades a
second after that they have reached the pre-set temperature. Necessary value for the temperature
maintenance.

13)T.VIS TEMP :10
14)D. TEMP A.T. :50
13) It is the value expressed in seconds, with which the displaying of temperatures is updated.
DO NOT MODIFY THIS VALUE
14) This value indicates the temperature difference within which the auto-tuning procedure is
activated. So if, when turning the machine on, the difference between the read temperature and
the preset temperature is higher than 50 °C, the program will perform an auto-tuning cycle to read
the working parameters. If the difference between the two temperatures is smaller, the program
does not execute the auto-tuning and uses the previously saved parameters.
