13.5 Pulse

The MiniMax has a 200 volt square wave pulser. Pulse width, refers to the duration
of time the pulser is left on. This time results in increased energy sent into the
fastener. There are three pulse width options (SPIKE, THIN, and WIDE), with
adjustable pulser voltages of 100, 150 and 200 volts. Longer bolts with attenuative
material may be optimized best using the 200 volt setting with a wide pulse width,
while shorter fasteners best optimized using a 100 volt setting with a spike pulse
width option. The procedure to change the pulse width is outlined below:
