Soyer BMK-12W Quick Start Manual page 10

Explanations of parameters:
• MCTIME Main current time
MCTIME is the most important parameter for the welding operation.
• You can change the value for the main current time from 1 - 1000 ms in 1 ms-steps by pressing
either function key "arrow up" or "arrow down".
Please note:
The parameters for the most important stud diameters are represented in tubular form on the
stud welder's front panel.
• PCTIME Pre-current time
• It is possible to change the value for the pre-current time by pressing either function key "arrow up"
or "arrow down". The period of time can be set between 40 and 1000 ms in 20 ms-steps.
Please note:
A period of time set between 40 and 80ms suffices in most cases (please refer to adjustment
table).
• GPTIME Gas pre-flow time
The gas pre-flow time is the period of time, during which the shielding gas valve is open before
starting the welding process and remains open after the welding process has been completed. Select
the corresponding value for the gas pre-flow time from 100 - 9900 ms in 100 ms-steps by pressing
function key "arrow up" or "arrow down" (please refer to adjustment table).
Please note:
Set "0" when welding without shielding gas.
• RLTIME Reload time (OPTION)
The reload time can only be used in conjunction with optional "automatic operation" (feeder
connection).
Please note:
Set "0" when using the PH-3N, PK-3 and PK-0K welding guns.
