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.
