1.   Sensitivity Control

Use control to make the lens 

more responsive to different 

light levels in various 

welding processes. 

Use a Mid-Range or  

30-50% sensitivity setting 

for most applications.

It may be necessary to  

adjust helmet sensitivity 

to accommodate different 

lighting conditions or if lens 

is flashing On and Off. 

Adjust helmet sensitivity 

as follows:

 >   Adjust helmet sensitivity 

 

in lighting conditions  

 

helmet will be used in.

•  Turn sensitivity control 

 

to lowest setting.

•  Face the helmet in the 

 

direction of use, exposing 

 

it to the surrounding  

 

light conditions.

•  Gradually turn sensitivity 

 

setting clockwise until the 

 

lens darkens, then turn  

 

sensitivity control  

 

counterclockwise until  

 

slightly past setting  

 

where lens clears.  

 

Helmet is ready for use.  

 

Slight readjustment  

 

may be necessary  

 

for certain applications  

 

or if lens is flashing on  

 

and off.
