4-6 pps is a typical initial setting.
Set for bead shape and travel speed:
Higher for thinner plate and faster travel.
Lower for thicker plate and slower travel.

Controls
The new foot pedal provides such independent action
distinction of precisely where the arc start switch actu-
ates without over-riding minimum control pedal posi-
tion, and precisely where the control pedal has been
returned to minimum position without inadvertently de-
actuating the arc start switch. The result is repeatable
consistency in TIG weld starting and crater-fill for man-
ual process control.
Using this new foot pedal with the Precision TIG’s new
presettable Minimum Output level, in addition to the
presettable Maximum Output level, further enhances
the starting and crater level consistency as well as the
control resolution of the manually controlled foot pedal.
