BMS-6 ISO 3 Safety instructions These operating instructions contain basic instructions which have to be complied with during installation or operation. It is therefore absolutely necessary that these operating instructions are read by the operator and responsible specialist staff prior to assembly and start-up.
BMS-6 ISO Dangers in the case of non-compliance with safety instructions The non-compliance with safety instructions may not only endanger persons, but also the welding equipment and its environment. Any non-compliance with safety instructions may result in a complete loss of damage claims.
BMS-6 ISO • Wear protective goggles with eye-protecting lens number 2 (DIN 58211, part 6) to protect your eyes from welding spatters and flashes of light that are generated during the welding process. • Wear side-shielded glasses. • Wear ear protection. Capacitor discharge generates a loud bang.
BMS-6 ISO MORTAL DANGER Persons with pacemakers must neither operate the stud welder nor stay near it. If an accident happens, • switch off the welding device and disconnect it from the mains supply • call a doctor. 3.10 Safety instructions for maintenance, inspection and assembly works...
Our GK-2 SOYER suitcase (optional equipment) is the optimum solution for properly storing SOYER stud welders as well as welding guns, cables, studs, retrofit kits etc. • Make sure stud welder can not be used by unauthorized persons. • Check welding cable and connections of the stud welder for damage such as burn- off, mechanical wear etc.
The housing of the BMS-6 ISO stud welder corresponds to safety class IP 21. Please observe that this system of protection is not suitable for being operated or transported in the rain.
5.1.5 Fuse elements The BMS-6 ISO stud welder is protected by the following fuses: - Mains supply fuses: 2 x 10 A slow, plug-in unit (item 8, chapter 5.1) - Charging fuse F1: 6.3 A slow, control board S0-115...
BMS-6 ISO - Fuse for the ventilator (optional) F3: 250 mA slow, S0-115 control board (ventilator is optionally available) WARNING Should it become necessary to replace fuses, only use fuses with the prescribed electrical values. Oversized fuses could either cause defects on the electrical system or a fire.
BMS-6 ISO MORTAL DANGER Only connect stud welder to authorized shockproof sockets. If need be, have an electrician check whether the socket is earthed. Operation • Switch on mains switch (item 7, chapter 5.1). The four LED displays (item 2, chapter 5.1) on the front panel of the stud welder shortly light up after switching the stud welder on.
BMS-6 ISO Welding parameters The welding parameters of BMS-8N stud welder were determined by means of the PS-1, PS-1K and PS-1KI stud welding guns. PS-1KI PS-1 / PS-1K Ø 2 Ø 2.6 Ø 2 Ø 3 Ø 3 Ø 4 Ø...
4001, section 2.1, certificate of approval for stainless steel ifBT, DIN 4113, part 2). Type and scope of test Provided that the SOYER stud welding equipment is properly used and the materials are appropriately selected, the strength of the welding joint (welding zone) will always be stronger than that of the stud or base material.
BMS-6 ISO When in doubt, the test scope should be extended in compliance with DVS Guideline 0905, part 2, section 5.1.1. 6.4.2 Simplified work test Simplified work tests serve to check the correct setting and function of the equipment. They are carried out at the beginning of every working shift and after several hours of interruption.
Replacement of components Defective components may only be replaced by trained SOYER servicemen. Perfect function of your stud welder can only be guaranteed when original SOYER spare parts are used. Fuses The BMS-6 ISO stud welder is protected by the following fuses: - Mains supply fuses: 2 x 10 A slow, plug-in unit (item 8, chapter 5.1)
