Orion 1 – 220 Volt Power Supply Overview

The Orion 1 220 Volt Power Supply uses the principle that 220/240 volts AC is supplied to most 
facilities.  The 220/240 volts is divided into 110/120 volt circuits for distribution within the build-
ing.  Using 110/120 volt outlets and the Orion 1 Power Supply, the user can quickly identify and 
connect to the separated 110/120 volt halves of the original 220/240, restoring the 220/240 volt 
AC option without adding new electrical circuits or wiring to the building. 

To protect people and equipment, the Orion 1 Power Supply’s safety interlock blocks all output 
power until electrical connections are complete and correct.  The Orion 1’s internal circuits 
assure correct outlet polarity before completing electrical connections.  Should power on one 
of the 110/120 volt supply lines be interrupted by overload or disconnect, all output power is 
immediately and automatically disconnected. 

Definitions of Power Circuit:

1.  “110/120 VAC” means an alternating current electrical source from 108 to 125 volts AC 

supplied by a three pronged grounded outlet of the type commonly found in residential and 
commercial applications in the United States.  The source can be either single phase or three 
phase, which is commonly found in commercial or industrial facilities.

2.  “220/240 VAC” means 208 to 250 volts AC.  If the power source is single phase, the voltage 

output of the Orion 1 will be twice the voltage of the voltage supplied, typically 220 to 240 
volts.  If the power source is 3 phase, the voltage output will be 1.73 times the voltage of the 
voltage supplied, typically 208 volts.  

3. 220/240 volt power is supplied though NEMA 6-15R straight blade duplex outlet.

Instructions for Operation

Use appropriate extension cords, as necessary, to reach 110/120 volt outlets, #16/3 or larger 
extension cords are recommended. The Orion 1’s power supply will trip Ground Fault Interrupter 
(GFI) circuits or outlets.  Select non-GFI outlets and circuits.  If a GFI is desired, use a 220/240 
volt GFI, connecting it to the 220/240 volt output of the Orion 1 power supply.
1. 110/120 Volt Connections:
 

a. Test 110/120 volt outlets using supplied Receptacle Tester.

 

•  Two amber “CORRECT” lights should be on.  If lights give different reading, outlet is 

not wired correctly and Orion 1will not operate.  Have wiring corrected by a certified 
Electrician.

 

•  Press GFI test button on Receptacle Tester for 6 seconds.  When released, the two 

amber “Correct” lights should remain on.   If amber lights go off, reset GFI in circuit 
and move to outlet that is not GFI protected. 

 

b.  Connect “PLUG A” power cord to 110/120 volts AC outlet.  The Orion 1  power 

supply will give an audible “click” as “PLUG A” is inserted into the outlet.  If there is 
no “click,” disconnect and see Trouble Shooting, paragraph 4.

 

c.  Connect “PLUG B” power cord to other 110/120 volt AC outlets until “220 Volts” 

lamp on front panel illuminates.  (An extension cord will probably be necessary.)  As 
“PLUG B” is inserted into the outlet, the Orion 1 power supply will give an audible 
“click.”  If there is no “click,” disconnect and see Trouble Shooting, paragraph 4.

 

•  When “220 Volts” illuminates, 220 VAC is ready for use on the “220 volt power 

output.”

 

•  If “220 Volts” does not illuminate, move “Plug B” to other outlets until “220 Volts” lights.
