OPERATION
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Precision TIG 375 is part of a new family of indus-
trial arc welding power sources providing constant cur-
rent, single range square wave AC/DC TIG (GTAW)
with new patented (pending) Micro-Start
Presettable Min. and Max. Output controls, and built-in
high frequency stabilization for continuous AC TIG and
DC TIG starting. It also has AC/DC Stick (SMAW)
capability, with adjustable Arc Force availability. A TIG
Pulse Panel, Power Factor Capacitors and a Water
Solenoid are available as field installed optional kits.
Also, a new Undercarriage (with double gas bottle
rack) is available for field installation, as well as a new
Under-Cooler Cart, which is also included in an avail-
able efficiently integrated entire TIG Welding Package
with convenient built-in storage provisions for welding
equipment and components.
The Precision TIG 375 includes advanced features
such as a Digital Meter, Presettable control, Auto
TM
Balance
, Fan As Needed (F.A.N.) fixed Preflow, vari-
able Postflow shielding gas and Timers. In addition, 2-
Step/4-Step and Pulse TIG operation with adjustable
Downslope Time control are included with an available
field installed kit. It also features a Stick stud panel and
a universal TIG torch connection box for simultaneous,
but separated, electrode outputs.
PIPE THAWING
The Precision TIG 375 is not recommended for pipe
thawing.
Duty Cycle
The duty cycle is based upon a 10-minute time period;
i.e., for 40% duty cycle, it is 4 minutes welding and 6
minutes idling. If the rated duty cycle is significantly
exceeded, the thermostatic protection will shut off the
output until the machine cools to a normal operating
temperature. (Refer to Specification Section A-1)
