The BXT3 battery strapping tool comes with a lockable LCD, one feature of the LCD is the favroute mode.
what the favourite mode does is allow you to switch instantly between 2 settings, the settings which you can change are:
- Max tension settings
- Welding time
- Auto / semi / soft modes
You might use this mode if you are switching between different strap types with the one tool or different package types which need different tension settings.
If you want all settings between the same all the time we recommend making both favourite modes exactly the same.
To first understand the favrourite mode, you must first understand the settings been adjusted.
Setting soft tension
When soft tension is set the tension wheel starts more slowly and the tension force is reduced. This prevents excessive soiling when polypropylene straps are used.
► Press "Soft" button (1).
– The soft mode is deactivated when the "SOFT" display (2) changes position and is shown outlined.
► Press "Soft" button (1).
– The soft mode is activated when the "SOFT" display (3) changes position and is shown in bold.
– The displayed tension force is reduced correspondingly. – On the left under the tension force an "S" (4) also appears.
Setting welding time
The set welding time is displayed continuously by means of filled dots when the tool is ready for operation.
► Press the "Welding time" button (2).
