Auto-Darkening filters protect against harmful ultra-violet and infrared rays. All shades have
maximum UV/IR protection. You will never burn your eyes due to optical radiation passing through the
filter. User’s eyes can be severely burned if welding with a damaged lens (cracked, pitted, etc.).
ANSI defines all welding helmets as secondary eye protection from optical radiation and impact.
For complete safety, primary protection, such as spectacles or goggles, should be used in conjunction
with welding helmets. Protective clothing and accessories such as leather bibs attached to the welding
helmet will protect the user from spatter and optical radiation indirectly entering from areas behind
the helmet.
ACGIH (American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists) has established a TLV-TWA of
5mg/m3 for welding fumes. Welding fumes cannot be classified simply. The composition and quantity
of both are dependent on the alloy being welded and the process and electrodes used.
Shade
6000V:
Turn on the filter by pressing the “ON/Delay” button. Set the desired dark shade with the
Shade knob on the outside of the helmet (see Figure 1a).
5000V, 7000VX, and iDF-48:
Set the desired dark shade with the Shade knob on the outside side
of the helmet (see Figure 1a). The shade value will be indicated on the LCD display (see Figures 1a
and 1b). Note: The 6000V does not have a LCD display.
5500V and 7500VX:
Set the desired dark shade by pressing the “M” mode button until “Shade” or
the Shade icon is flashing, then use the “+” and “-” buttons to increase or decrease shade value
(see Figures 2a and 2b).
Sensitivity and Delay
These filters have arc detection sensitivity and delay. Delay mode is normally used in most welding
applications except spot welding. Longer delay can be used at very low amps (<20A) to ensure filter stays
dark.
6000V:
Use the “Sensitivity” knob to set the sensitivity (see Figure 1a). To increase delay, after the filter
has been turned on, press the “ON/Delay” button again to activate the Delay mode.
5000V and 7000VX:
Change sensitivity with the “Sensitivity” knob (see Figure 1a). Increase delay by
pressing the “+” button, decrease delay by pressing the “-” button. (see Figure 1b).
5500V and 7500VX:
Press the “M” mode button until “Sensitivity” or the Sensitivity icon flashes,
then use the “+” and “-” buttons to increase or decrease sensitivity (see Figures 2a and 2b).
iDF-48:
Change sensitivity with the “Sensitivity” knob (see Figure 1a). Sensitivity Level is not dis-
played on iDF-48 LCD readout. Press the Delay button to change delay bars from 0.1 to 3.5 seconds
(see Figure 3).
