STREET ART (CHAMELEON 3V0)
Current electrode and MIG/MAG welding
User safety instructions (WARNING)
• Please read all the safety instructions before using the CHAMELEON welding helmet.
• CHAMELEON helmet and cartridge are not suitable for laser, laser cutting or gas welding.
• CHAMELEON helmets are designed to protect the eyes and face against sparks, spatter and harmful
radiation. However the helmet will not provide protection against explosive devices or corrosive liquids.
• Never use the helmet if the cover plate has not been fitted correctly. Before each use, check that
no light is able to penetrate the helmet. Also check that the cover plate is clean and that there is no
dirt on the sensors on the front of the lens.
• Any parts which are scratched, cracked or pitted should be replaced immediately before the helmet
is used again in order to prevent serious injury.
• Do not use any replacement parts other than those specified in this manual. Before each use, please
check the enclosed last to make sure that the welding helmet has been supplied with all the
relevant parts.
• According your application, make sure that the shade setting is relevant with you welding
application. See the Shade Chart for welding to select the appropriate level of protection.
• CHAMELEON 3 filters are suitable for MIG, MAG, TIG, SMAW, all types of arc welding, plasma welding
and cutting and air carbon gouging.
• Arc rays may burn eyes and skin; use adequate protective equipment.
Welding with STREET ART (CHAMELEON 3V0) helmet
STREET ART (CHAMELEON 3V0) helmet automatically changes from light (shade level 3) to dark
(shade level 8-13) during welding.
When welding is stopped, the filter automatically turns clear again.
During welding, you can make fine adjustments using the potentiometer knob.
Please refer to the shade chart to match the dark shade number to the application.
STREET ART (CHAMELEON 3V0) filters also protect the user’s eyes against harmful infrared (IR) and
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation at all times during welding and when clear.
There are two sensors on the front of the cartridge which detect the light from the welding arc and
cause the lens to darken.
STREET ART (CHAMELEON 3V0) has solar cells which extends the two batteries lifetime.

Adjusting Sensitivity
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.
1. Turn sensitivity control to lowest setting.
2. Press On/Off Button to turn helmet On. Helmet lens will darken twice and then clear.
3. Face the helmet in the direction of use, exposing it to the surrounding light conditions.
4. 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.

Lens Delay Control
The lens delay control is used to slow the lens-switching time to the clear state after welding. The delay is
particulary useful in eliminating bright after-rays present in higher amperage applications where the molten
puddle remains bright momentarily after welding. Adjusts from (.10 second-Min. to 1.0 second-Max).
Low Battery Indicator
The low battery indicator lights when 2-3 days of battery life remain.
For 3 V0 model use 2 AAA-1.5 V batteries.
