BMS-9 4 Installation of stud welder • Only install the stud welder on an even surface. The pads located on the bottom of the welding equipment guarantee its anti-skid position and serve as vibration dampers. • Although the stud welder is resistant to environmental influences, it should be protected against dampness and dust.
The mains switch is used to switch the stud welder on and off. Selection keys (item 2, chapter 5.1) The selection keys [ Ø3] .. [ Ø8] ( [ Ø3] .. [ Ø10] with BMS-9 V]) allow different parameters to be quickly selected according to the desired diameter.

BMS-9 Function key "arrow up" (item 5, chapter 5.1) The function key "arrow up" enables continuous increase of the charging voltage e.g. for larger stud diameters. Digital 7-segment display (item 6, chapter 5.1) The digital 7-segment display shows the set energy (charging voltage in volts)
BMS-9 5.1.2 Fuse element The BMS-9 stud welder is protected by the following fuse: - Power input fuse: 1 x M 10 A medium time lag (front panel item 7, chapter 5.1) 5.1.3 Connecting elements Earth cable socket (item 8, chapter 5.1) The earth cable socket serves to connect the ground clamps to the stud welder.
BMS-9 Preparation for start-up Connect the stud welding gun and earth cables to the stud welder prior to start-up. 5.2.1 Earth connection Attach earth cable to earth cable socket (item 8, chapter 5.1) and lock by turning to the right until stop.
BMS-9 Operation NOTE The applicable accident prevention and safety regulations have to be complied with when operating the stud welder. NOTE The welding areas must be metallically bright. → If necessary, grind the area to be welded Switch on mains switch.
BMS-9 Notes with regard to the "Lifting test" operation mode The lifting test allows for the activation of the gun’s lifting magnet thus being able to control the setting. Proceed as follows: The stud welder is still deactivated. ...
