SAFETY  
ARC RAYS can burn.  
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.  
3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits  
are electrically “hot” when the welder is on.  
Do not touch these “hot” parts with your bare  
skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free  
gloves to insulate hands.  
4.a. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover  
plates to protect your eyes from sparks and  
the rays of the arc when welding or observing  
open arc welding. Headshield and filter lens  
should conform to ANSI Z87. I standards.  
4.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant  
material to protect your skin and that of your helpers from  
the arc rays.  
3.b. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation.  
Make certain the insulation is large enough to cover your full  
area of physical contact with work and ground.  
4.c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable  
screening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor expose  
themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.  
In addition to the normal safety precautions, if welding  
must be performed under electrically hazardous  
conditions (in damp locations or while wearing wet  
clothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings or  
scaffolds; when in cramped positions such as sitting,  
kneeling or lying, if there is a high risk of unavoidable or  
accidental contact with the workpiece or ground) use  
the following equipment:  
FUMES AND GASES  
can be dangerous.  
5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gases  
hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these  
• Semiautomatic DC Constant Voltage (Wire) Welder.  
• DC Manual (Stick) Welder.  
fumes and gases. When welding, keep  
• AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control.  
your head out of the fume. Use enough  
ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep  
3.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode,  
electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomatic  
welding gun are also electrically “hot”.  
fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. When  
welding with electrodes which require special  
ventilation such as stainless or hard facing (see  
instructions on container or MSDS) or on lead or  
cadmium plated steel and other metals or coatings  
which produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure as  
low as possible and below Threshold Limit Values (TLV)  
using local exhaust or mechanical ventilation. In  
confined spaces or in some circumstances, outdoors, a  
respirator may be required. Additional precautions are  
also required when welding on galvanized steel.  
3.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical  
connection with the metal being welded. The connection  
should be as close as possible to the area being welded.  
3.e. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical  
(earth) ground.  
3.f. Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and  
welding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replace  
damaged insulation.  
5. b. The operation of welding fume control equipment is affected  
by various factors including proper use and positioning of the  
equipment, maintenance of the equipment and the specific  
welding procedure and application involved. Worker expo-  
sure level should be checked upon installation and periodi-  
cally thereafter to be certain it is within applicable OSHA PEL  
and ACGIH TLV limits.  
3.g. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.  
3.h. Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts of  
electrode holders connected to two welders because voltage  
between the two can be the total of the open circuit voltage  
of both welders.  
5.c. Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors  
coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations.  
The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors to  
form phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating prod-  
ucts.  
3.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protect  
yourself from a fall should you get a shock.  
3.j. Also see Items 6.c. and 8.  
5.d. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air and  
cause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation,  
especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.  
5.e. Read and understand the manufacturerʼs instructions for this  
equipment and the consumables to be used, including the  
material safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow your  
employerʼs safety practices. MSDS forms are available from  
your welding distributor or from the manufacturer.  
5.f. Also see item 1.b.

SAFETY  
WELDING and CUTTING  
CYLINDER may explode  
if damaged.  
SPARKS can  
cause fire or explosion.  
6.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area.  
If this is not possible, cover them to prevent  
the welding sparks from starting a fire.  
7.a. Use only compressed gas cylinders  
containing the correct shielding gas for the  
process used and properly operating  
regulators designed for the gas and  
Remember  
that  
welding  
sparks  
and  
hot  
pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable for  
the application and maintained in good condition.  
materials from welding can easily go through small cracks  
and openings to adjacent areas. Avoid welding near  
hydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily available.  
7.b. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely  
chained to an undercarriage or fixed support.  
6.b. Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site,  
special precautions should be used to prevent hazardous  
situations. Refer to “Safety in Welding and Cutting” (ANSI  
Standard Z49.1) and the operating information for the  
equipment being used.  
7.c. Cylinders should be located:  
Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to  
physical damage.  
•A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations and  
any other source of heat, sparks, or flame.  
6.c. When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode  
circuit is touching the work or ground. Accidental contact can  
cause overheating and create a fire hazard.  
7.d. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other  
electrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.  
6.d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the  
proper steps have been taken to insure that such procedures  
will not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substances  
inside. They can cause an explosion even though they have  
been “cleaned”. For information, purchase “Recommended  
Safe Practices for the Preparation for Welding and Cutting of  
Containers and Piping That Have Held Hazardous  
Substances”, AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society  
(see address above).  
7.e. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet  
when opening the cylinder valve.  
7.f. Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand  
tight except when the cylinder is in use or connected for  
use.  
7.g. Read and follow the instructions on compressed gas  
cylinders, associated equipment, and CGA publication P-l,  
“Precautions for Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in  
Cylinders,” available from the Compressed Gas Association  
1235 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.  
6.e. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or  
welding. They may explode.  
6.f. Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil  
free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt,  
cuffless trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear  
ear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places.  
Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in a  
welding area.  
FOR ELECTRICALLY  
powered equipment.  
8.a. Turn off input power using the disconnect  
switch at the fuse box before working on  
the equipment.  
6.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding  
area as practical. Work cables connected to the building  
framework or other locations away from the welding area  
increase the possibility of the welding current passing  
through lifting chains, crane cables or other alternate circuits.  
This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chains or  
cables until they fail.  
8.b. Install equipment in accordance with the U.S. National  
Electrical Code, all local codes and the manufacturerʼs  
recommendations.  
8.c. Ground the equipment in accordance with the U.S. National  
Electrical Code and the manufacturerʼs recommendations.  
6.h. Also see item 1.c.  
6.I. Read and follow NFPA 51B “ Standard for Fire Prevention  
During Welding, Cutting and Other Hot Work”, available from  
NFPA, 1 Batterymarch Park,PO box 9101, Quincy, Ma  
022690-9101.

SAFETY  
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ  
6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin de  
prévenir tout risque dʼincendie dû aux étincelles.  
Pour votre propre protection lire et observer toutes les instructions  
et les précautions de sûreté specifiques qui parraissent dans ce  
manuel aussi bien que les précautions de sûreté générales suiv-  
antes:  
7. Quand on ne soude pas, poser la pince à une endroit isolé de  
la masse. Un court-circuit accidental peut provoquer un  
échauffement et un risque dʼincendie.  
Sûreté Pour Soudage A LʼArc  
8. Sʼassurer que la masse est connectée le plus prés possible de  
la zone de travail quʼil est pratique de le faire. Si on place la  
masse sur la charpente de la construction ou dʼautres endroits  
éloignés de la zone de travail, on augmente le risque de voir  
passer le courant de soudage par les chaines de levage,  
câbles de grue, ou autres circuits. Cela peut provoquer des  
risques dʼincendie ou dʼechauffement des chaines et des  
câbles jusquʼà ce quʼils se rompent.  
1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse électrique:  
a. Les circuits à lʼélectrode et à la piéce sont sous tension  
quand la machine à souder est en marche. Eviter toujours  
tout contact entre les parties sous tension et la peau nue  
ou les vétements mouillés. Porter des gants secs et sans  
trous pour isoler les mains.  
b. Faire trés attention de bien sʼisoler de la masse quand on  
soude dans des endroits humides, ou sur un plancher met-  
allique ou des grilles metalliques, principalement dans  
les positions assis ou couché pour lesquelles une grande  
partie du corps peut être en contact avec la masse.  
c. Maintenir le porte-électrode, la pince de masse, le câble de  
soudage et la machine à souder en bon et sûr état defonc-  
tionnement.  
d.Ne jamais plonger le porte-électrode dans lʼeau pour le  
refroidir.  
e. Ne jamais toucher simultanément les parties sous tension  
des porte-électrodes connectés à deux machines à souder  
parce que la tension entre les deux pinces peut être le total  
de la tension à vide des deux machines.  
f. Si on utilise la machine à souder comme une source de  
courant pour soudage semi-automatique, ces precautions  
pour le porte-électrode sʼapplicuent aussi au pistolet de  
soudage.  
9. Assurer une ventilation suffisante dans la zone de soudage.  
Ceci est particuliérement important pour le soudage de tôles  
galvanisées plombées, ou cadmiées ou tout autre métal qui  
produit des fumeés toxiques.  
10. Ne pas souder en présence de vapeurs de chlore provenant  
dʼopérations de dégraissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. La  
chaleur ou les rayons de lʼarc peuvent réagir avec les vapeurs  
du solvant pour produire du phosgéne (gas fortement toxique)  
ou autres produits irritants.  
11. Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur la sûreté, voir  
le code “Code for safety in welding and cutting” CSA Standard  
W 117.2-1974.  
2. Dans le cas de travail au dessus du niveau du sol, se protéger  
contre les chutes dans le cas ou on recoit un choc. Ne jamais  
enrouler le câble-électrode autour de nʼimporte quelle partie du  
corps.  
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POUR  
LES MACHINES À SOUDER À  
TRANSFORMATEUR ET À  
REDRESSEUR  
3. Un coup dʼarc peut être plus sévère quʼun coup de soliel, donc:  
a. Utiliser un bon masque avec un verre filtrant approprié ainsi  
quʼun verre blanc afin de se protéger les yeux du rayon-  
nement de lʼarc et des projections quand on soude ou  
quand on regarde lʼarc.  
b. Porter des vêtements convenables afin de protéger la peau  
de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnement de lʻarc.  
c. Protéger lʼautre personnel travaillant à proximité au  
soudage à lʼaide dʼécrans appropriés et non-inflammables.  
1. Relier à la terre le chassis du poste conformement au code de  
lʼélectricité et aux recommendations du fabricant. Le dispositif  
de montage ou la piece à souder doit être branché à une  
bonne mise à la terre.  
2. Autant que possible, Iʼinstallation et lʼentretien du poste seront  
effectués par un électricien qualifié.  
4. Des gouttes de laitier en fusion sont émises de lʼarc de  
soudage. Se protéger avec des vêtements de protection libres  
de lʼhuile, tels que les gants en cuir, chemise épaisse, pan-  
talons sans revers, et chaussures montantes.  
3. Avant de faires des travaux à lʼinterieur de poste, la debranch-  
er à lʼinterrupteur à la boite de fusibles.  
4. Garder tous les couvercles et dispositifs de sûreté à leur place.  
5. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité dans la zone de  
soudage. Utiliser des lunettes avec écrans lateraux dans les  
zones où lʼon pique le laitier.

INSTALLATION  
ENVIRONMENTAL RATING  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
Read entire installation section before starting  
installation.  
Precision TIG 375 power sources carry an IP21S  
Environmental rating. They are rated for use in damp,  
dirty rain-sheltered environments.  
WARNING  
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.  
Only qualified personnel should  
perform this installation.  
MACHINE GROUNDING AND HIGH FRE-  
QUENCY INTERFERENCE PROTECTION  
• Turn the input power OFF at the  
disconnect switch or fuse box  
before working on this  
equipment.  
The frame of the welder must be grounded. A ground screw  
marked with the symbol is located on the input connection  
panel (Figure A.1) for this purpose. See your local and nation-  
al electrical codes for proper grounding methods.  
• Do not touch electrically hot  
parts.  
The spark gap oscillator in the high frequency genera-  
tor, being similar to a radio transmitter, can be blamed  
for many radio, TV and electronic equipment interfer-  
ence problems. These problems may be the result of  
radiated interference. Proper grounding methods can  
reduce or eliminate radiated interference.  
• Always connect the Precision TIG 375 grounding screw (behind  
the reconnect panel cover located near the back of the left case  
side) to a good electrical earth ground.  
• Always connect the Precision TIG 375 to a power supply  
grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and  
all local codes.  
SELECT SUITABLE LOCATION  
The Precision TIG 375 has been field tested under rec-  
ommended installation conditions and has been found  
to comply with F.C.C. allowable radiation limits. This  
welder has also been found to comply with NEMA stan-  
dards for high frequency stabilized power sources.  
Place the welder where clean cooling air can freely cir-  
culate in through the top rear vents and out through the  
bottom rear vents. Dirt, dust or any foreign material  
that can be drawn into the welder should be kept at a  
minimum. Failure to observe these precautions can  
result in excessive operating temperatures and nui-  
sance trips.  
Radiated interference can develop in the following four  
ways:  
• Direct interference radiated from the welder.  
• Direct interference radiated from the welding leads.  
• Direct interference radiated from feedback into the  
power lines.  
GRINDING  
Do not direct grinding particles towards the welder. An  
abundance of conductive material can cause mainte-  
nance problems.  
• Interference from re-radiation of "pickup" by  
ungrounded metallic objects.  
STACKING  
The Precision TIG 375's cannot be stacked .  
Keeping these contributing factors in mind, installing  
the equipment per the following instructions should  
minimize problems:  
UNDERCARRIAGE LIFTING AND MOVING  
1. Keep the welder power supply lines as short as pos-  
sible. Input leads within 50 feet (15.2 m) of the  
welder should be enclosed in rigid metallic conduit  
or equivalent shielding. There must be good electri-  
cal contact between this conduit and the welder.  
Both ends of the conduit must be connected to a  
driven ground and the entire length must be contin-  
uous.  
When the Precision TIG 375 is purchased as a weld-  
ing package, or used with any of the available  
Undercarriage optional accessories, proper installation  
makes the Precision TIG 375 lift bale nonfunctional.  
Do not attempt to lift the power source with an under-  
carriage attached. The undercarriage is designed for  
hand moving only; mechanized movement can lead to  
personal injury and/or damage to the Precision TIG  
375.  
2. Keep the work and electrode leads as short as pos-  
sible and as close together as possible. Lengths  
should not exceed 25 feet (7.6 m). Tape the leads  
together when practical.  
TILTING  
Each machine must be placed on a secure, level sur-  
face, either directly or on a recommended undercar-  
riage. The machine may topple over if this precaution  
is not followed.

INPUT and GROUNDING CONNECTIONS  
INSTALLATION  
3. Be sure the torch and work cable rubber coverings  
are free of cuts and cracks that allow high frequen-  
cy leakage. Cables with high natural rubber content,  
such as Lincoln Stable-Arc®, better resist high fre-  
quency leakage than neoprene and other synthetic  
rubber insulated cables.  
WARNING  
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.  
• Turn the input power OFF at the  
disconnect switch or fuse box  
before working on this  
equipment.  
4. Keep the torch in good repair and all connections  
tight to reduce high frequency leakage.  
Be sure the voltage, phase, and frequency of the input  
power is as specified on the rating plate, located on the  
rear of the machine.  
5. The work terminal must be connected to a ground  
within ten feet of the welder, using one of the fol-  
lowing methods:  
Remove the reconnect panel cover located near the  
back of the left case side to reveal the reconnect panel.  
Welder supply line entry provision is in the case rear  
panel. Entry is through a 1.75 inch (44 mm) diameter  
hole in the case back. Appropriate supply line strain  
relief clamp is provided by installer. (See Figure A.1)  
• A metal underground water pipe in direct contact  
with the earth for ten feet or more.  
• A 3/4" (19 mm) galvanized pipe or a 5/8" (16 mm)  
solid galvanized iron, steel or copper rod driven at  
least eight feet into the ground.  
FIGURE A.1  
The ground should be securely made and the ground-  
ing cable should be as short as possible using cable of  
the same size as the work cable, or larger. Grounding  
to the building frame electrical conduit or a long pipe  
system can result in re-radiation, effectively making  
these members radiating antennas. (This is not rec-  
ommended).

6. Keep all access panels and covers securely in  
place.  
All connections should be made in accordance  
with all local codes and national electrical codes.  
Installation by a qualified electrician is recom-  
mended.  
7. All electrical conductors within 50 feet (15.2 m) of  
the welder should be enclosed in grounded rigid  
metallic conduit or equivalent shielding. Flexible  
helically-wrapped metallic conduit is generally not  
suitable.  
1. Connect the terminal marked  
nect panel) to an earth ground.  
(below the recon-  
2. Connect the input leads to terminals marked L1 (U)  
and L2 (V) on the reconnect panel. Use a single  
phase line or one phase of a two or three phase line.  
8. When the welder is enclosed in a metal building,  
several good earth driven electrical grounds (as in 5  
above) around the periphery of the building are rec-  
ommended.  
3. On multiple input voltage welders, be sure the  
reconnect panel is connected for the voltage being  
supplied to the welder.  
Failure to observe these recommended installation  
procedures can cause radio or TV interference prob-  
lems and result in unsatisfactory welding performance  
resulting from lost high frequency power.  
CAUTION  
Failure to follow these instructions can cause  
immediate failure of components within the welder.

WORK CABLE CONNECTION  
EXAMPLE: On a 208/230/460 volt welder, LOW is  
208V, MID is 230V, and HIGH is 460V.  
A 15ʼ (2/0) weld cable with clamp is available (K2150-1), or  
included with the Precision TIG Welding Package model.  
Otherwise, it is user provided.  
Note: Export model has a voltage range for LOW and  
MID connections: LOW is 220-230V, MID is  
380-400V and High is 415V.  
With power source off, connect a separate work cable  
to the 1/2-13 threaded "WORK" stud of the welder, and  
secure a tight connection with the flange nut provided.  
The work cable should be routed through the cable  
strain relief hole provided in the base directly below the  
welding output terminal.  
Reconnect the jumper strap to the terminal stud corre-  
sponding to the input voltage level used. Make sure all  
connections are tight.  
Fuse the input circuit with the recommended super lag  
fuses or delay type1 circuit breakers. Choose an input  
and grounding wire size according to local or national  
codes or use Section A-2. Using fuses or circuit break-  
ers smaller than recommended may result in "nui-  
sance" tripping from welder inrush currents even if not  
welding at high currents.  
Note: If the Precision TIG is equipped with an Under-  
Cooler or Under-Storage unit, the coiled work cable  
and clamp, or excess work cable length, may be con-  
veniently stored in the drawer while remaining con-  
nected.  
STICK ELECTRODE CABLE CONNECTION  
Unbalanced AC TIG welding draws higher input cur-  
rents than those for Stick, DC TIG, or Balanced AC TIG  
welding. The welder is designed for these higher input  
currents. However, where unbalanced AC TIG welding  
above 275 amps is planned, the higher input currents  
require larger input wire sizes and fuses per Section A-  
2.  
If manual stick welding is desired, with power source  
off, connect a stick electrode cable to the 1/2-13  
threaded "STICK Electrode" stud of the welder, and  
secure a tight connection with the flange nut provided.  
The electrode cable should be routed through the  
cable strain relief hole provided in the base directly  
below the welding output terminal.

TIG TORCH CONNECTION  
• Keep cylinder upright and  
chained to a support.  
The Precision TIG torch connection box, located on the  
right side of the machine, provides all the input and  
output connections for the installation of both air-  
cooled and water-cooled TIG torches with fittings con-  
forming to Compressed Gas Association (CGA) stan-  
dards:  
• Keep cylinder away from areas  
where it could be damaged.  
• Never allow the torch to touch the cylinder.  
• Keep cylinder away from live electrical cir-  
cuits.  
Note: The Precision TIG provides an insulated Torch  
Reel and Holster for handy and safe storage of con-  
nected torch when not welding, and excess torch cable  
length while welding.  
• Maximum inlet pressure 150 psi.  
-----------------------------------------------------------------  
The Precision TIG machines do not have Hi-Freq.  
available at the Stick electrode stud, therefore stud  
connection adapters (such as LECO. S19257-series)  
cannot be used for torch connection.  
WARNING  
Combination connectors (Power/Water and  
Power/Gas) are electrically "hot" while welding in  
STICK or TIG modes.  
Single-piece cable air-cooled torches with a 3/8-24 RH  
connector fitting (such as the Magnum PTA-9/-17, or LA-  
9/-17) require the provided S20403-4 Torch Connector,  
while those with a 7/8-14 RH connector fitting (such as  
the Magnum PTA-26, or LA-26) require the available  
K2166-1 Torch Connector. (See Figure A.3)  
If using an Air-Cooled Torch be sure coolant is  
shut off and/or Cooler is unplugged from the  
Precision TIG Water Cooler Receptacle on the  
torch side of the upper case back.  
Two-piece cable air-cooled torches (such as PTA-, or LA-  
torches) can be used with the available K2166-2 1/2”  
Stud Connector with with a 7/8-14 LH male fitting.  
Observe the safety precautions necessary for han-  
dling and using compressed gas containers.  
Contact your supplier for specifics.  
Magnum PTW-18/-20 (or LW-) water-cooled Torches  
require no adapter for Precision TIG connection.

The Precision TIG Export models also provide a  
grounded 220vac Euro type Schuko receptacle and a  
5 amp circuit breaker, located on the upper case back  
on the reconnect side of the machine, intended for use  
with a 220vac water cooler.  
AUXILIARY POWER CONNECTIONS  
The Precision TIG machines provide a standard NEMA  
5-15R duplex receptacle, located on the upper case  
back on the torch side of the machine:  
• The bottom outlet of this duplex receptacle provides  
switched 115VAC power for the Under-Cooler, or  
Water Solenoid accessory. This Cooler receptacle  
turns on when the arc starts and remains on for about  
8 minutes after the arc goes out (with the Fan-As-  
Needed machine cooling fan, see Maintenance  
Section), so the Coolerʼs fan and water pump will not  
run continuously in idle, but will run while welding.  
REMOTE CONTROL (If Used)  
The Foot Amptrol (included with the Precision TIG  
Welding Package), or other Remote accessory, is  
installed by routing the plug of its control cable up  
through the left cable strain relief hole provided in the  
base (see Figure A.2), then connecting the 6-pin plug  
to the mating Remote receptacle behind the stud panel  
cover. (See Operation Section B-2 for mating plug  
wiring.)  
• The top outlet of this duplex receptacle provides at  
least 8 amps at 115VAC, whenever the Precision TIG  
Power switch is ON. This auxiliary circuit is intended  
for running 115VAC accessories or small power tools.  
Note: Some types of equipment, especially pumps  
and large motors, have starting currents which are  
significantly higher than their running current. These  
higher starting currents may cause the circuit breaker  
to open. (See next paragraph)  
Note: If the Precision TIG is equipped with an Under-  
Cooler or Under-Storage unit, the Foot Pedal (or other  
remote control accessory) and coiled control cable, or  
excess cable length, may be conveniently stored in the  
drawer while remaining connected.  
• Both the receptacle circuits are protected from shorts  
and overloads by a 15 amp circuit breaker, located  
above the receptacle. If the breaker trips, its button  
pops out exposing a red ring. When the circuit break-  
er cools, the button can be reset by pressing it back  
in.  
Note: When the breaker trips, not only will the auxil-  
iary and cooler power be interrupted, but so will the  
power to the shielding gas solenoid and machine  
cooling fan.

INSTALLATION  
ROBOTIC INTERFACE CONNECTION  
Robotic interface can be made at the Remote  
Receptacle (See Operation Section B-2). The machine  
is shipped with the remote receptacle circuit internally  
connected to receptacle J5 of the Control board for  
standard Amptrol operation. In order to enable the  
remote receptacle for robotic interface its connection  
plug must be moved from J5 to J5A on the Control  
board. (Refer to the machine Wiring Diagram.)  
The robotic interface functions with the Precision TIG  
set to either TIG or STICK mode, but must be in  
REMOTE switch position for the Preset Control inter-  
face to function. When in the REMOTE position with  
robotic interface neither the MAXIMUM OUTPUT nor  
the MINIMUM OUTPUT panel controls limit the inter-  
face control setting over the rated output range of the  
machine.  
The diagram in Figure A.4 below shows the remote  
receptacle plug connections and signals for robotic  
interface:  
FIGURE A.4  
In addition; a Peak Pulse output signal is provided at  
J21 receptacle on the Advanced Control PCB. This  
output provides a 0.2A rated switch circuit between pin  
1 (+) and pin 2 (com) for an external 40VDC supplied  
relay (with coil diode). This switch closes when the  
Peak Pulse is on, and opens when off.

tion displays the Minimum control level setting on the  
Digital meter. (See Item 8)  
• This knob sets the Start output level. When the arc  
lights (using a new built-in TIG start pulse) this level  
upslopes quickly (0.5 sec.w/ Advanced Panel, zero  
w/o-See UP Menu of Item 7a) and smoothly to the  
weld output level. The setting range for this Start  
control is the 2 amp minimum range of the machine  
up to about 50 amps, but no more than the level set  
by the Maximum Output control knob (See Item 6),  
but otherwise is independent of the Maximum set-  
ting.  
• Full minimum CCW position is the Auto Balance  
position which is indicated by the Green panel light  
turning on. This feature automatically provides the  
proper amount of cleaning and penetration for nor-  
mal AC TIG welding  
• The mid position is the Balanced position (~50%  
positive and negative waves).  
• The Balance control is only functional if the machine  
is set to AC polarity and TIG mode.  
• This setting also serves as the Crater-fill level, but  
with a Precision TIG Advanced Panel it can be  
selected (see Section B-7) to be either the Minimum  
Output control setting (same as Start setting) as  
shipped, or the minimum rating of the machine (2  
amps).  
5. LOCAL/REMOTE CURRENT CONTROL SWITCH – A  
2-position switch selects how the welding output is  
controlled for both Stick and TIG Modes:  
• LOCAL (Top position) selects output control only by  
the machine panel Output Control. (See Item 6)  
• The Remote Amptrol range of control is between  
this Minimum setting and the Maximum Output con-  
trol knob setting, so these knobs can set the resolu-  
tion of the Amptrol. Also, the Minimum setting  
serves as both the minimum Amptrol start level  
when the arc start switch is closed, as well as the  
minimum Amptrol crater-fill level before the arc start  
switch is opened to help prevent premature arc out  
and Hi-Freq re-initiation.  
• REMOTE (Bottom position) selects output control to  
also be by an Amptrol (See Item 6), or other remote  
(10K pot) control connected to the Remote recepta-  
cle (See Item 11). This switch selection is indicted  
by the Green panel light turning on.  
In either position the arc start switch functions when  
connected to the Remote receptacle (See Item 11).  
• In STICK mode the Start control is not functional  
since Hot Start level is fixed, or internal Advanced  
Panel adjustable (see Section B-7). Pressing the  
Display (momentary) switch toggle left to Minimum  
Output position displays minimum amps rating of  
the machine.  
6. MAXIMUM OUTPUT CONTROL – The large knob  
is used to set the output welding current over the  
rated output range of the machine.  
• With the Current Control switch to LOCAL position,  
this knob sets the welding output level.  
* Arc voltage and current are sensed to determine if  
the arc is established or out.

B-10 Tig Weld Cycle Chart for graphic illustration of  
these TIG welding functions.)  
• Any time, in either mode, while pressing the Display  
switch right to Volts position, the digital meter displays  
actual output volts. Volts is displayed with 0.1 volt res-  
olution (XX.X) and accuracy within 3%+/-1V of read-  
ing.  
12. TRIGGER SWITCH – This 2-position switch  
selects how the arc start switch ( connected to the  
above Remote receptacle) functions; in 2-Step or 4-  
Step mode:  
• While pressing the (Menu) button when not welding  
(see Menu Button and Display Button in previous  
section), for Meter and Display switch functions.  
CAUTION  
• DO NOT USE 4-STEP IF USING AN AMPTROL  
9. POSTFLOW TIME – This knob is used to set the TIG  
mode shielding gas postflow time over the range of  
about 2 to 60 seconds after the arc is shut off. The  
postflow on time status is indicated by the Green  
panel light.  
REMOTE.  
• Neither the arc start switch nor the output con-  
trol in the amptrol will function normally to shut  
off or control the out put. ONLY USE 2-STEP.  
------------------------------------------------------------------------  
• In 2-Step position the arc start switch functions the  
same as without the Advanced Panel:  
• Postflow Time is x2 extendable, if needed, by inter-  
nal control box selection. (See Internal Set Up Controls)  
• Gas preflow time for TIG mode is factory set at 0.5  
second, but shorter times are selectable with the  
Menu Button. (See 7a.)  
1. Closing switch starts preflow, then a fixed  
(0.5 sec.) ramp time from Minimum (Start)  
setting level (See Item 7) to Weld setting.  
10. THERMAL SHUTDOWN LIGHT – This yellow LED  
panel light turns on if the machine output is shut-  
down because internal overheating has occurred,  
and turns off when the thermostat resets.  
2. Opening switch initiates Downslope ramp  
time setting (See Item 17), from Weld set-  
ting to Crater-fill level (See Item 7), which  
then stops the arc and initiates Postflow  
time (See Item 9).  
11. REMOTE RECEPTACLE – A 6-socket receptacle is  
provided for the connection of an Amptrol, or other,  
remote control: (See Figure B.2)  
Note: See Section B-7 for 2-Step operation during  
Downslope with Restart feature selected to be dis-  
abled, instead of enabled (as shipped).  
• When the Current Control Switch, (See Item 5), is in  
the REMOTE position the Amptrol, or other remote  
(10K pot), connected to the Remote receptacle con-  
trols the TIG or Stick mode output within the range  
preset by the Maximum and Minimum Output con-  
trols. (See Item 6 and Item 7, also 8 for meter dis-  
play)

OPERATION  
• In 4-Step position allows welding without continu-  
ously holding the start switch trigger. The arc start  
switch functions in the following manner:  
15. PULSE % ON / SPOT TIME CONTROL –This  
knob sets the time for Pulse or Spot modes:  
1. Closing switch starts preflow, then arc starts  
at Minimum (Start) setting level (See Item  
7). If the trigger is maintained closed after  
preflow time the output remains at the Start  
level until it is released.  
• % ON TIME sets duration of the peak current as a  
percentage (5% to 95% on white scale) of one pulse  
cycle. The balance of the cycle time will be at the  
Background Current setting.(See Item 16)  
SPOT TIME sets the duration of the Spot pulse (0.5  
2. Opening switch initiates fixed (0.5 sec.)  
ramp time from Start setting level to Weld  
setting.  
to 5.0 seconds on red scale).  
16. PULSE BACKGROUND CURRENT CONTROL –  
This knob controls the level of the Background  
Current as a percentage (MIN.-100%) of the Peak  
(REMOTE and/or LOCAL) output level (See Item  
6) down to the Minimum Output setting (See Item  
7).  
3. Reclosing switch initiates Downslope ramp  
time setting (See item 17) from Weld setting  
down to the Crater-fill level (See Item 7) of  
the machine.  
4. Reopening switch after Downslope time  
holds Crater-fill level until switch opens,  
then stops the arc and initiates the Postflow  
Time (See Item 9). Or, reopening switch  
during Downslope time immediately stops  
the arc and initiates the Postflow.  
17. DOWNSLOPE TIME– This knob is used to set the  
time, over the range of zero to about 10 seconds,  
to ramp down from weld setting to Crater-fill level  
(See Item 7).  
• If the arc goes out after the Downslope time is initi-  
ated, the Downslope time is interrupted and the  
Postflow time is initiated. This prevents Hi-Freq re-  
initiation during ramp down crater fill  
Note: See Section B-7 for 4-Step operation during  
Downslope with Restart feature selected to be  
enabled, instead of disabled (as shipped).  
• When using an Amptrol remote control, where the  
downslope is controlled by the operator down to the  
crater-fill level, the Downslope time should be set to  
zero so as not to have the Downslope time delay  
when the arc start switch is opened.  
13. PULSE / SPOT MODE SWITCH – Turns on the  
Pulse Mode as indicated by the Green panel light  
turning on.  
• PULSE ON provides a Peak current level set by  
REMOTE and/or LOCAL control of the output cur-  
rent (See Item 5), for a time determined by the  
Pulse Frequency Control setting (See Item 14) and  
the % ON Time (See Item 15). The balance of the  
cycle time is at the Background Current level (See  
Item 16). The Green panel light blinks at the pulse  
frequency and time setting rate.  
18.HIGH FREQUENCY INTENSITY CONTROL (NOT  
SHOWN)– Allows setting the lowest intensity which  
still gives good TIG arc starting with minimized  
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). Control knob  
is located on a recessed panel near the easy acces-  
sible spark gap side panel. As shipped, the control  
is set to minimum.  
• Pulsing begins after upslope when the output cur-  
rent rises above the Background Current level and  
ends when the output current drops below this level.  
SPOT ON mode provides the peak current level set  
by the Maximum Output Control for a time deter-  
mined by the SPOT TIME control (see below). The  
red panel light is on for Spot mode.  
14. PULSE FREQUENCY CONTROL – This knob is  
used to set the Pulse Frequency over the peak  
pulse range of about 0.1 pps to 20 pps. (One pulse  
cycle time = 1/pps = 10 to .05 sec. range.)

SETUP GUIDELINES FOR TIG WELDING  
WITH AN AMPTROL  
Both the Hand and Foot Amptrols work in a similar  
manner. They are meant to be used for remote current  
control for TIG welding using the machineʼs 2-Step  
trigger mode (See Item 12).  
The Amptrol is capable of controlling the output of the  
Precision TIG over the range between the level preset  
by the Minimum Output control when the Amptrol is at  
its inactivated state, and the level preset by the  
Maximum Output control when the Amptrol is at fully-  
activated state.  
It is important to note that even with the Precision TIGʼs  
TM  
new MicroStart Technology, some tungstens may be  
difficult to start at the low (2 amps) minimum rating of  
the machine. Rather than guessing where to depress  
the Amptrol to start the arc reliably, the Minimum  
Output control allows presetting the exact level, so  
reliable starts, as well as minimum crater-fill levels, can  
be consistently obtained at the minimum Amptrol (inac-  
tivated ) state. FIGURE B.6 shows Precision TIG setup  
for TIG welding with an Amptrol.

OPERATION  
Close the arc start switch. This opens the gas valve  
to automatically purge air from the hose and torch,  
then shields the arc strike area. After the 0.5 sec-  
ond preflow time, the high frequency becomes  
available to strike the arc. When the arc strikes the  
torch coolant (if used) starts to flow. Also, if welding  
DC- TIG, the high frequency shuts off just after the  
arc strikes.  
MAKING A TIG WELD WITH AN AMPTROL  
1. Install welding equipment per Section A-5.  
2. Setup controls per Section B-10.  
3. Turn on the shielding gas supply, and torch coolant  
input supply (if used).  
Note: The Precision TIG Under-Cooler (or Water  
Solenoid connected to the Cooler receptacle) runs with  
the Fan-As-Needed machine cooling fan (See  
Maintenance Section D), so the cooler fan and water  
pump will also not run continuously in idle, but will run  
while welding.  
6. Hold the arc start switch closed at minimum Amptrol  
Start level (See Section B-10) until an arc is estab-  
lished, then increase the output to the desired welding  
level and push the torch in the direction of travel.  
7. At the end of the weld, decrease the Amptrol output  
to the crater-fill level before releasing the arc start  
switch to start the Postflow time. Hold the torch gas  
shielding over the solidifying weld crater while post-  
flow time expires and the gas valve reopens. The  
torch coolant (if used) continues to flow for up to 8  
minutes after the arc goes out (with the Fan-As-  
Needed feature) to assure torch cooling.  
4. With the torch held safely away from everything,  
close the Arc Start Switch of the Amptrol and set the  
gas flow meter. Then open the switch. The welder  
is now ready for welding.  
5. Position the tungsten electrode at the start of the  
weld at a 65° to 75° angle with the horizontal, in the  
direction of pushing travel, so that the electrode is  
approximately 1/8" (4 mm) above the work piece.  
• Repeat steps 5 through 7 to make another weld.

MAINTENANCE  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
OVERLOAD PROTECTION  
FAN-AS-NEEDED (F.A.N.)  
WARNING  
The Precision TIG 375 has the F.A.N. circuit feature,  
which means the cooling fan will operate only while  
welding; then for about 8 minutes after welding has  
stopped to assure proper machine cooling. This helps  
reduce the amount of dust and dirt drawn into the  
machine with the cooling air. The cooling fan will oper-  
ate briefly when the machine power is initially turned  
on, and continuously while the yellow Thermal  
Shutdown Light is lit (see Thermostatic Protection).  
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.  
• Only qualified personnel should  
perform this maintenance.  
• Turn the input power OFF at the  
disconnect switch or fuse box  
before working on this  
equipment.  
• Do not touch electrically hot  
parts.  
THERMOSTATIC PROTECTION  
This welder has thermostatic protection from excessive  
duty cycles, overloads, loss of cooling, and excessive  
ambient temperatures. When the welder is subjected  
to an overload, or inadequate cooling, the primary coil  
thermostat and/or secondary coil thermostat will open.  
This condition will be indicated by the illumination of  
the yellow Thermal Shutdown Light on the front panel  
(see Item 10 in Section B). The fan will continue to run  
to cool the power source. Postflow occurs when TIG  
welding is shut down, but no welding is possible until  
the machine is allowed to cool and the yellow Thermal  
Shutdown Light goes out.  
WARNING  
To avoid receiving a high frequency shock, keep  
the TIG torch and cables in good condition.  
ROUTINE AND PERIODIC MAINTENANCE  
Very little routine maintenance is necessary to keep  
your Precision TIG 375 running in top condition. No  
specific schedule can be set for performing the follow-  
ing items; factors such as hours of usage and machine  
environment should be considered when establishing  
a maintenance schedule.  
NO ARC PROTECTION  
The machine outputs (Background / OCV, gas and HF)  
will be shutdown, if the trigger is closed without weld-  
ing for 15 seconds to protect the Background resistor  
from overheating with F.A.N. cooling off, as well as to  
conserve on gas waste.  
• Periodically blow out dust and dirt which may accu-  
mulate within the welder using an air stream.  
• Inspect welder output and control cables for fraying,  
cuts, and bare spots.  
AUXILIARY POWER CIRCUIT BREAKER  
• Inspect the spark gap at regular intervals to maintain  
the recommended spacing. See the Service  
Procedures (See Service Procedures in this  
Section) for complete information on spark gap set-  
tings.  
The 115vac auxiliary circuits and rear receptacle (see  
Section A Auxiliary Power Connections) are protected  
from overloads by a 15 amp circuit breaker, located  
above the receptacle. If the breaker trips its button  
pops out exposing a red ring. When the circuit breaker  
cools the button can be reset by pressing it back in.  
Note: When the breaker trips not only will the recepta-  
cleʼs auxiliary and cooler power be interrupted, but so  
will the power to the shielding gas solenoid and  
machine cooling fan.  
• The fan motor has sealed ball bearings which  
require no maintenance.  
The Export models also include a 5 amp circuit break-  
er, located on the opposite side of the upper case back,  
for protection of the 220vac Schuko type cooler recep-  
tacle.

MAINTENANCE  
FIGURE C.1 SPARK GAP  
SERVICE PROCEDURES  
Operation of the Precision TIG should be trouble-free  
for the life of the machine. Should a malfunction occur,  
however, the following procedures will be useful to  
trained service personnel with experience in repairing  
arc welding equipment:  
.015 Spark Gap  
COMPONENT ACCESS  
Note: In highly dirty environments where there is an  
abundance of conductive contaminants, use a low  
pressure air stream or a firm piece of paper to clean  
out the spark gap. Do not disturb the factory gap set-  
ting.  
The following components are accessible for routine  
set up and periodic service without requiring removal  
of the case sides or roof:  
Input Reconnect Panel (refer Section A) is located  
behind a removable panel on the rear of the left case  
side. Remove the two screws (with a screwdriver or  
a 3/8"/ 9.5mm hex driver) on the bottom corners of  
this panel to remove it.  
To check the spark gap:  
1. Turn the input power off per above.  
2. Remove the access panel on the right case side  
(See Component Access).  
3. Check the spark gap spacing with a feeler gauge.  
• Control Box components and PC Boards (refer  
Section B-6) are located behind the front control  
panel. Remove the two screws (with a screwdriver or  
a 3/8"/ 9.5mm hex driver) on the top corners of this  
panel to swing it down.  
If adjustment is required:  
1. Adjust the gap by loosening the Allen head screw  
on one of the aluminum blocks, reset the gap and  
tighten the screw in the new position.  
• Hi-Freq. Spark Gap assembly (refer Spark Gap  
Adjustment) is located behind a removable panel on  
the rear of the right case side, under the torch box.  
Remove the screw (with a screwdriver or a 3/8"/  
9.5mm hex driver) on the bottom center of this panel  
to remove it.  
If spark gap is correct:  
1. Reinstall the access panel on the right case side.  
UNDER-COOLER SERVICE  
The required maintenance and service instructions for  
the Under-Cooler are provided in the operatorʼs manu-  
al (IM723) provided with the Under-Cooler Cart.  
SPARK GAP ADJUSTMENT  
The spark gap is set at the factory to a gap of 0.015  
inches (0.4 mm) See Figure C.1. This setting is ade-  
quate for most applications. Where less high frequen-  
cy is desired, the setting can be reduced to 0.008 inch-  
es (0.2 mm).  
WARNING  
Use extreme caution when working with circuit of  
the high frequency. The high voltages developed  
can be lethal. Turn the input power off using the  
disconnect switch or fuse box before working  
inside the machine. This is particularly important  
when working on the secondary circuit of the high  
voltage transformer (T3) because the output volt-  
age is dangerously high.
