    The TIG welding process requires the use of 100% Argon gas. Install the flowmeter on your tank, and connect the flowmeter to the Pro Pulse 300 with the supplied gas hose. To connect the gas hose, fasten one end of the gas hose to the flowmeter and the other to the back of the welding machine (Fig.

  • Page 37 Stands for Voltage Reduction Device. V.R.D. is a system which reduces the no-load voltage (OCV). When you activate the V.R.D., the Pro Pulse 300 reduces the maximum no-load voltage to a lower and safer voltage—normally less than 18 volts. Used as an additional aid for operator safety and for when safety procedures at work require extra protection.
