How to Connect the Basic Cables
WITHOUT LENS/MICROSCOPE
The Zapp does not require the use of any lens or microscope. Always wear proper eye protection when you are using the Zapp. The provided welding glasses will protect your eyes from damage due to the arc flash.

• Remove welder and accessories from the box and place on a flat workspace.
• Plug the male end of the power cable into the AC Power port (C) on the back of the power supply. Then connect the female end into an AC power supply. The Zapp has an internal switching power supply that can accept both 120 and 240VAC.
• Insert the 1/4” gas tube firmly into the Gas port (A) on the back of the welder. It may wiggle when connected, but should not come out if pulled on.
• Connect the alligator clip to the grounding port (D) on the front panel.
• Connect the stylus to the back of the welder (B).

Electrode Setup
The Zapp comes standard with a 1.0mm electrode collet and three (3) 1.0mm electrodes. The 1.0mm electrodes area good multipurpose electrode for most welding applications.
Available separately, Sunstone offers 0.5mm electrodes.

Figure 2.1. To install the electrode, first remove the Stylus Shaft (A) from the Stylus Hull (E) by pulling them apart. Figure 2.2. Use the guide on the side of the Stylus Hull (E) for proper Electrode (D) positioning. Figure 2.3. Electrodes should protrude past the stylus hull 1/8 to 1/4 inch (3.175 to 6.35mm).

Install the Tungsten Electrode Onto the Welding Stylus
Refer to the Stylus Components Chart (Figure 2.4) to install the tungsten electrode (D).

• Remove the Stylus Hull (E) by pulling it away from the Stylus Shaft (A). See Figure 2.1.
• Loosen the Collet Cap (C) by twisting it counterclockwise.

The welder accommodates 0.5mm and 1.0mm electrodes. The electrode stylus will be shipped with the 1.0mm electrode collet installed.

• Insert a 1.0mm electrode (D) into the Collet (B).
• There should be between 0.6 – 0.7 inch (1.5 –2cm) of the Electrode (D) protruding from the Stylus Shaft (A). This will allow the Electrode enough room to stick out from the Stylus Shaft once the Stylus Hull (E) is placed back on the Stylus Shaft.
• Lock the Electrode (D) into place by hand tightening the Collet Cap (C) in a clockwise direction.
• Replace the Stylus Hull (E) by twisting until tight. The Electrode (D) should protrude from the Stylus Hull (E) by 1/8 – 1/4 inch (3.175 – 6.35mm) after the Stylus Hull is tightened back into place. See Figure 2.3.

Figure 3.1. The dial and it’s settings.

How to Use the Dial

The Zapp dial is very user friendly. Users have access to every welding parameter with one easy-to-use dial.
Weld Energy Level
The Zapp has weld energy range of 3 to 10 Joules (or Ws), which is selected in one joule increments. The larger the number the more energy released through the electrode and, generally speaking, the larger the weld spot.
Weld On/Off
When the Zapp is initially powered on it is ready to weld. A small green light in the upper left corner, near the knob, will illuminate when the Zapp is ready to weld.
Power the unit off if a non-weld state is desired.
The Dial
As you twist the dial to the right, the Weld Energy Level will increase 1 Joule. 3 = 3 Joule, 4 = 4 Joules, etc.
Pointing the arrow on the dial directly at the number will give the most accurate power reading.
Light Blink
When the small LED light blinks, the Zapp is changing energy. As the knob is turned up or down this blink indicates a change in weld setting.
If you’ve never used the Zapp or other Orion pulse arc welder, you should practice first on the provided welding plate.
After careful setup and familiarization of how the welder operates, follow these instructions using the welding plate.

How To Make a Weld

Figure 4.1 Set the Weld Energy Level to 3 J energy. Figure 4.2 Attach the alligator clip to the welding plate. With proper eye protection, hold the welding plate with both hands and lightly touch the electrode to the welding plate.
When the electrode contacts the welding plate, the welder will release energy and create a weld.

• Turn the welder on. With the welder on, energy will only be released when the electrode touches the welding plate AND the alligator clip is attached to the welding plate (or any workpiece). Don’t worry about the alligator clip yet.

• Make sure your eyes are protected by properly using the darkening lens or microscope. Never operate the welder without eye protection.
  • If you are using an Auto Darkening Lens (ADL) with the Zapp, refer to Appendix A before proceeding.
  • If you are using a swing arm microscope or the PJ Scope, refer to Appendix B before proceeding.
  • If you don’t have an Auto Darkening Lens (ADL), microscope, or PJ Scope, ensure that you are using #5 shaded welding glasses.

• Attach the alligator clip to the Stainless Steel Weld Plate as shown in Figure 4.2.

• Rest your arms on the table or workbench, holding the metal plate with both hands.

• Make sure you have a clear view of the metal plate.

• The Stainless Steel Weld Plate is organized into rows.
  For this exercise, lightly touch the welding plate (or workpiece) to the electrode in the first minimum column. When the electrode makes contact with the welding plate, the welder will release energy and a weld will occur.

Note: Sloped, Sustained, and Negative Rows are not applicable to the Zapp, so ignore the labels and focus on the row labeled “None”. Create lower- powered practice welds on the left and higher powered welds as you move right (maximizing at 10J).
Tip: When the electrode touches the workpiece, don’t back away from the electrode until after the weld is completed. The Zapp will automatically retract the electrode away from the workpiece by a few millimeters when the weld occurs.
This retraction assists in forming a more desirable weld spot.
If you move the workpiece away from the electrode just before or during the weld, the weld will not occur.

• Adjust the Weld Energy Level from 3 to 4J using the dial. Then touch the electrode to the second minimum column.
• Next, adjust the Weld Energy Level from 4 to 5J using the knob. Then touch the electrode to the second minimum column You will see a difference between the 4J weld and the 5J weld. The spot size will be larger and the weld will be deeper.
• Repeat the process of increasing the energy level and then touching the plate in the next box. And then repeat again until you’ve placed a weld in every box. Eventually, you should reach the maximum amount of power (10J).

What To Do If The Knob Comes Off

Spin the potentiometer as far as it can counterclockwise. Push the knob onto the potentiometer with the marking indicator pointing at the left marking on the sticker.

Electrode Care & Shield Gas Set Up

Electrode Care
WORKPIECE ELECTRODE PRESSURE
Touch the workpiece to the electrode with very light pressure. Too much pressure will cause the workpiece to stick to the electrode and cause the electrode to become contaminated (workpiece material on the electrode).
Sunstone recommends cleaning or changing the electrode when it sticks to the workpiece.
A clean, sharp electrode will give the best results when welding permanent jewelry.
WHEN TO SHARPEN THE ELECTRODE
The majority of applications are best accomplished using a sharp electrode tip. A sharp tip improves arc initiation and helps focus the arc properly. It is recommended that you pay close attention to the electrode condition. An electrode that appears to be dark colored or covered with material from previous welds can lead to inconsistent welding and poor ignition of the weld arc. When this occurs, simply sharpen the electrode with the included diamond disk. The diamond disk can be attached to a rotary tool. Follow these steps for sharpening the electrode:

• Completely remove the electrode from the stylus.
• Pinch the electrode between the thumb and index and/ or middle finger with the shaft going perpendicular to the fingers. See Figure 7.2.
• Power on the rotary tool then hold it with the opposite hand.
• Place the electrode tip on the diamond disc so the grit of the disk is moving parallel with the electrode shaft and moving towards the tip.
• See Figure 7.3. Sharpening the electrode in a way other than explained here will affect the quality of the weld.
• Set the electrode on the diamond disk at a 15-degree angle and begin to spin the electrode with the thumb and middle finger. Tip: A helpful way to get a sharp electrode is to push down on the electrode with your index finger while twisting the electrode with the thumb and middle finger. See Figure 7.2.
• Once the electrode is sharp and clean, turn off the rotary tool and insert the electrode back into the stylus as explained above.

Figure 7.1. Figure 7.2. A sharp electrode tip improves arc initiation and results in a better overall weld. Figure 7.3. Use a rotary tool to sharpen the electrode.
Trade your old rotary tool for the Pilot, the electrode sharpener that cleans and sharpens your electrode in seconds!

Shield Gas Setup
During the pulse arc welding process high temperature plasma quickly melts metal into a molten pool. As the weld is performed, a small amount of shielding gas is released through the weld stylus to prevent oxygen from entering the molten pool. After the weld  has occurred the protective gas turns off.
If oxygen from the air enters this molten pool, the result is a metal oxide that is brittle, porous, and burnt-looking.
Protective shielding gas is used, such as 99.996% pure argon (Argon 4.6), to prevent these effects.
PRESSURIZED GAS SAFETY
There are several important rules that should be followed when using a compressed shielding gas such as argon:
Always secure the pressurized gas tank to a fixed location (such as a sturdy table leg). If the pressurized gas cylinder were to tip and become damaged there is possibility that the tank could become a projectile, expelling the high-pressure shielding gas as ropellant.
Purchase premium argon gas from Sunstone.
Call +1 801-658-0015

• Right-sized tank fits almost anywhere!
• Premium argon gas for your Zapp!

Always turn off the shielding gas at the main valve when finished. This will help your shielding gas supply last longer in case there is a small leak in the tubing. This is also a good safety practice. If the tube becomes dislodged shielding gas could fill the room and displace oxygen, which can lead to suffocation. Argon is heavier than air and will fill the room from the bottom upward. If you experience a large shielding gas leak, open all of the doors and windows in the room.

SHIELDING GAS TANK AND REGULATOR SETUP
The following instructions are specific for a Sunstone argon regulator. Other regulators may operate differently.
Consult instructions that may have come with other regulators.

• Ensure that your shielding gas tank is securely fastened to a stationary point near the welding area.
• Turn the argon regulator dial (not to be confused with the main argon tank valve) COUNTERCLOCKWISE (closed) until it is fully backed out, meaning the dial becomes loose, to prevent over-pressurization of the line.
• Screw the gas regulator onto the shielding gas tank and tighten fully using a wrench.
• If not already done, insert one end of the included ¼” OD gas tubing into the gas port on the back of the power supply. Tug gently on the tube to verify a tight fit.
• Connect the other end of the gas tubing to the gas regulator.
• Open the gas tank at the main valve slowly. The dials attached to the regulator should respond as the valve is opened. The primary dial measures and shows pressure inside the tank; the secondary dial, which measures pressure in the hose, should remain at zero (when the regulator dial is fully backed out).
• Slowly turn the regulator dial CLOCKWISE until the secondary dial on the left shows gas pressure between 7-10 liters per second.

How to Connect the Basic Cables With Auto Darkening Lens
The Zapp cable connections vary. If you purchased the darkening lens or the microscope, cabling needs change slightly. The darkening lens or microscope will automatically darken when the weld takes place, which allows the operator to have a view of the work  piece and remain protected from the flash during the welding process.
Reference Figure 10.1 and follow these instructions for easy setup:

• Remove the welder and Darkening Lens System from the box and place them on a flat workspace.
• Plug the female end of the power cable into the AC Power port (C) on the back of the power supply. Then connect the male end into an AC power supply. The Zapp has an internal switching power supply that can accept both 120 and 240VAC.
• Insert the 1/4” gas tube firmly into the Gas port (A) on the back of the welder. It may wiggle when connected, but should not come out if pulled on.
• Insert the RJ45 Darkening Lens cable (from the back of the Darkening Lens System or “ADL”) into the Shutter port (E) on the front of the welder. If using a microscope, see page 5 for instructions.
• Note: Basic ADL is hard wired into the auto-darkening lens. Upgraded ADL requires 2 connections: 1) Shutter Port on the welder, and 2) RJ45 Port on back of ADL.
• Connect the alligator clip to the grounding port (D) on the front panel.
• Connect the stylus to the back of the welder (B).
• The basic Auto Darkening Lens darkness can be adjusted by turning the shade dial above the darkening lens screen. Turn clockwise for a lighter shade and counter-clockwise for darker shade.

How to Place the Welding Stylus

• Insert the Welding Stylus into the holder located behind the screen. See Figure 11.1 (Right).
• Adjust the stylus holder to approximately a 45-degree angle as shown in Figure 11.1 (the stylus should be angled down).
• Connect the Stylus Cord to the back of the Zapp to the stylus port as seen in Figure 10.1.

How to Place the Welding Stylus

• If using a microscope with the Zapp, insert the Welding Stylus into the holder at the bottom of the Microscope Arm Assembly as shown in Figure 16.2.
• The tubing can be routed up and through the removable cable guide portion of the Microscope Arm Assembly if desired.
• For now, position the Welding Stylus such that only the smaller diameter portion protrudes from the holder, as shown in Figure 16.2. Then, tighten the thumb screw on the bottom of the stylus holder to hold it in place.
• Adjust the stylus holder to approximately a 45-degree angle as shown in Figure 16.2 (the stylus should be angled down).
• Fine tune the position of the Welding Stylus while looking through the microscope: Loosen the thumb screw on the bottom side of the stylus holder and slide the Welding Stylus forward and backward until the tip of the Welding Stylus is in the center of your focus. See the example in Figure 16.3.

Figure 16.2. Stylus mounting for microscope.Figure 16.3. Only a small portion of the electrode should extrude from the holder.

Microscope Tips
The Zapp microscope has been designed to provide maximum visual clarity, eye protection, and ease of use. One challenge using the microscope is getting used to bringing the workpiece to the welding electrode while looking through the microscope.
This is an easy challenge to overcome.
To begin, follow the suggested practices below while the welder is paused. While the welder is in paused, it will not make a weld when the workpiece touches the electrode.
Rest your hands on the table and position the workpiece close to the welding electrode before looking into the microscope.
Make sure your focus is at the tip of the electrode.
Use slow, controlled movements.
It is helpful to have your hands resting on the table and to only use your fingers to move the workpiece up to the electrode.
See Figure 17.1.

Figure 17.1. Rest your hands on the table and position the workpiece close to, but not touching the electrode., Then look through the microscope.

Place the workpiece surface perpendicular to the point of the electrode. The angle of the electrode tip relative to the workpiece surface is very important and will take practice.
Now practice making soft contact with the workpiece to the electrode.
Once you feel comfortable, attach the alligator clip to the workpiece and touch the workpiece to the electrode.
Hold still and wait for the weld to occur.
Note: Be mindful of your energy setting: Too much power may damage the workpiece. Start low (3-4J) and work up to higher energies (8-10).

Microscope LCD Filter Shutter System
The Microscope LCD Filter Shutter System provides an unobstructed working view before welding and completely protects your eyes during the welding process. The Zapp’ internal computer verifies the Microscope LCD Filter Shutter System has been activated before allowing the weld to take place.
Should the shutter not activate, the microscope lens is equipped with>UV16 and

IR 16 for maximum eye protection.
Warning: Avoid direct view of the welding area without protective lenses.
