If supply pressure falls below minimum requirements,
the lockout circuit will open, shutting off the DC Cir-
cuit. Similarly, the overtemp switch will open if the
unit becomes overheated, and will close again when
the unit cools to an acceptable temperature.

The torch head has replaceable contacts called Parts-
In-Place (PIP). These two contacts are made through
the brass washer inside the shield cup when it is in-
stalled. The torch will fail to operate if these contacts
are not made.

Duty cycle is the percentage of on-time (measured in
minutes) in a 10 minute period in which a system can
be operated, in an environment of a specified tem-
perature.
Exceeding duty cycle ratings will cause the thermal
overload protection circuit to become energized and
shut down output until the unit cools to normal oper-
ating temperature. Continual exceeding of duty cycle
ratings can cause damage to the cutting power source.
WARNING
When unit shuts down due to thermal overload,
power is still present throughout the entire sys-
tem.
