POWER CONTROL
is circular dial controls and selects the amount of weld energy or weld power. Users can touch or slide along the circular
path to adjust and set the weld energy. Notice that the dial’s controls are non-linear—is allows users greater refinement
and control when selecting lower level settings. is means that the first section of the dial represents 0.01 – 1.5 Joules; the
next section represents 1.5 – 3 Joules, the third represents 3 - 5 Joules, the fourth represents 5 - 30 Joules, and the final
represents 30 - 200 or 250 Joules (depending on model).
Additionally, users can input weld energy settings via a number pad. To access the number pad, tap on the weld energy
numbers inside the dial. is allows users to directly enter the exact desired weld energy values. Once the numeric value is
entered, tap OK to set the value and exit the number pad.
PLAY/PAUSE
Pressing the Play/Pause icon toggles between Play and pause. If the Play icon is green, the welder is capable of making
welds anytime a work-piece (connected to the positive alligator clip) makes contact with the electrode. When paused (White
Play icon), users are unable to weld.
TOUCH DETECT
e welder will initiate the weld process any time that a grounded work-piece makes contact with the electrode.
FOOT PEDAL
e welder will only initiate a weld on a grounded work-piece when the Foot Pedal is pressed.

POWER CONTROL
is circular dial controls and selects the amount of weld energy or weld power used based on the waveform selected.
Users can touch or slide along the circular path to adjust and set the weld energy. Notice that the dial’s
controls are non-linear—is allows users greater refinement and control when selecting lower level
settings. is means, when welding with the classic waveform, the first section of the dial represents 0.01 –
1.5 Joules; the next section represents 1.5 – 3 Joules, the third represents 3 - 5 Joules, the fourth represents
5 - 30 Joules, and the final represents 30 - 200 or 250 Joules (depending on model).
Additionally, users can input weld energy settings via a number pad. To access the number pad, tap on the weld energy
numbers inside the dial. is allows users to directly enter the exact desired weld energy values. Once the numeric value is
entered, tap OK to set the value and exit the number pad.
WAVEFORM
e waveform selections determine and control how energy is released when welds are made.
Classic - e classic waveform is the default waveform for welding on all Orion welders. It has a
high peak current, which is the peak of the energy level, followed by a curved discharge slope. e
curved discharge slope allows the weld spots to cool with less internal stress, and without surface
ripples. Classic welds will typically have a smoother surface than other waveforms.
