OPERATION

IMPORTANT NOTE:

 Only the Front Facing View Panel is adjustable; the Panoramic Side Panels  

offer side protection at a fixed shade level 11. Use extreme caution when using for arc viewing  
conditions which may exceed shade level 11.

•  Remove the protective film from the inside and outside surfaces of the lens.
•  With normal (non-welding), ambient light viewing through the lens, your view will have a  

green tint. When exposed to bright light or the flash of the welding arc, the lens will quickly 
darken your view. 

The Sensitivity, Delay and Shade controls and switches are located at the top of the Welding Helmet 
under a removable protective cover and are adjustable as follows: 

(FIG 1)

.

SENSITIVITY

Controls the Auto-darkening re-
sponse when exposed to smaller 
arcs such as low-amperage TIG 
welding and conditions like weld-
ing outside in bright sunlight.

To Adjust Sensitivity:

 Turn dial 

Clockwise to increase sensitivity 
for low amperage welding. Turn 
Counter-Clockwise when welding 
in bright sunlight.

DELAY

Delay controls the time interval 
for the Auto-darkening to return 
to normal view once arc is 
stopped.

To Adjust Delay:

 Turn dial 

Clockwise for helmet to return to 
normal view after arc is stopped. 
Turn Counter-Clockwise to 
minimize the time for the helmet 
to return to normal view.

SHADE 

Shade is used to control the level of darkness as Auto-darkening is automatically activated when  
an arc is present.
The Shade Control Knob is divided into 2 separate ranges; one for shade levels 4 through 8 and  
one for shade levels 8 through 11. Shade 4 is lightest while shade 12 is darkest.
The ranges are selected by the Range Switch located at the top of the helmet.
