CORE SERIES WELDING HELMET 

OPERATING MANUAL

Sensitivity Control 

The responsiveness to different light levels in various welding processes can be adjusted in 

the range from low to high.
Set the 

Sensitivity Dial (3)

 to your preferred level. Turn the dial 

counter-clockwise

 

arrow-rotate-left

 to 

decrease sensitivity, and rotate it 

clockwise

 

arrow-rotate-right

 to increase sensitivity.

Low Sensitivity

•  Suitable for high amperage welding and welding in bright light conditions (lamp light 

or sunlight).

High Sensitivity

•  Suitable for low amperage welding and use in poor light conditions.
•  Suitable for use with steady arc process such as TIG welding.
•  Under normal use, a higher sensitivity setting is recommended.

Delay Control 

The length of time delay for the ADF to return to the light state after welding can be 

adjusted in the range from fast to slow (0.1-0.9s). The time delay is for the protection of the 

welder’s eyes from strong residual rays after welding.
Set the 

Delay Dial (4)

 to your preferred level. Turn the dial 

counter-clockwise

 

arrow-rotate-left

 to 

decrease delay time, and rotate it 

clockwise

 

arrow-rotate-right

 to increase delay time.

Low Delay

•  The time the ADF takes to lighten after welding becomes shorter. The shortest time is 

about 0.1s depending on the welding point temperature and shade setting. This setting is 

ideal for tack welding or production welding with short welds.

High Delay

•  The time the ADF takes to lighten after welding becomes longer. The longest time is 

about 0.8s depending on the welding point temperature and shade setting. This setting is 

ideal for welding at high amperage where there is an afterglow from the weld.

Grind Mode 

Press the 

Grind Mode Button (6)

 to initiate grind mode. Upon activation, the 

Grind Mode 

Indicator (2)

 light will begin to blink. To deactivate grind mode and revert back to weld 

mode, simply press the 

Grind Mode Button (6)

 again.

Note: Do not weld in the grind mode, the ADF will not darken.

Low Battery Indicator 

When the backup battery is low, the 

Low Battery Indicator (1)

 will begin to blink. Replace 

the battery when it is low, otherwise the ADF switching time will become slower, and shade 

accuracy will be compromised.
