Page 16: How To Use The Touchscreen Interface
The Orion PJ touch screen interface is very user friendly. Users have access to every welding parameter with one touch. Below is an explanation of the various buttons and options found on the Orion PJ 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. - Page 17 Weld On/Off Button When the Orion PJ is initially powered on, the Weld On/Off Button (F) will be in the off mode (the power symbol is gray). The welder will not operate while in the off mode. To operate the welder, tap once on the Weld On/Off Button to switch to the on mode (the power symbol turns orange).
