CHAPTER 2: THE TOUCH SCREEN INTERFACE
The Orion touch screen interface is very user friendly . Users have access to every welding
parameter with one touch . Below is an explanation of all the various buttons and options found
on the Orion interface . *Orion touch screens are resistive touch screens . This means they respond
best to a little bit of pressure . The end of your fingernail or the tip of the alligator clip works best
when touching the screen .
The Main Screen
The arc screen is the main screen that users will be on for pulse arc welding . From this screen
users can make every adjustment necessary for the welding process . Below is a description to
everything you see on the arc screen . We will start at the bottom right and work our way up .
PLAY/PAUSE BUTTONS
Play -
In order to weld, the play/pause button must show the green triangle “play“ symbol .
Pause -
If the welder is not going to be in used for a period of time, users can push the play/
pause button (a grey pause symbol will appear) . This will keep the unit powered on, but welding
functions will be disabled .
RESET BUTTON
The reset button will place all settings on the welder back to their factory default settings . The
factory default settings are “safe” settings and will work well with any metal . If the user is not sure
what settings to use, the factory default settings are a good starting point
BACK BUTTON
The back button will step backwards, allowing users to ‘undo’ up to 10 touch settings made on the
touch screen .
TRIGGER BUTTON
Auto Trigger -
When using the Auto Trigger mode (recommended), the unit will automatically
initiate the weld once the work piece touches the electrode tip .
