Auto darkening filter marks of shade level and optical clarity
Warning: For your own safety, please read instruction carefully before using welding helmet!
Before welding
The welding helmet is delivered unassembled to avoid deformation of the body
and headband. Fasten headband to welding helmet according to fig. 13. Check
the readiness of auto darkening filter (except model Base) by turning on lamp
close to filter. If filter is darkened, filter is ready for operating. Check
the front cover lens to make sure that it is clean and no dirt is covering the
sensors in front of the filter cartridge. Adjust headband to fit properly the
head and set up auto darkening filter for delay time, sensitivity and shade
level according to welding process (depending on the model of welding helmet),
Attention! Remove protecting films from internal and external cover
lenses.
Storage and care
Welding helmet should be stored in a dry place at a temperature between -20°C
(-4°F) and +70°C (158°F) and operated at a temperature between -5°C (23°F) and
+55°C (131°F). Long exposure by temperature above +45°C (113°F) may reduce
filter shelf life. It is recommended to store welding helmet in dark place and
avoid exposure of light during storage. Always clean solar battery and light
sensors from dust, dirt and spatter with a soft cloth or a cloth with a mild
detergent (or alcohol).
If the cover lenses are damaged, they must be replaced immediately.
Headband adjustment
Height adjustment (1). Fix one or two crown straps (depending on the
model) to have comfortable view through auto darkening filter. Headband fittin
(2). Turn the ratchet on the back of the headband to the left or right to
achieve the desired fit.
Adjustment of the tilt of the welding helme (3). Adjustment of a tilt of
a welding helmet is provided by fixing nuts on the both sides of a headband.
To adjust the tilt, loosen the side fixing nuts, then adjust to the desired
position and tighten the fixing nuts again.
Adjustment of the distance between face and auto-darkening filter (4). To
adjust the distance between the welder’s face and auto darkening filter,
loosen the side fixing nuts and press inward to release the fasteners from the
slots. Move headband forward or backward until desired position is reached and
tighten side fixing nuts. For a correct view, both sides must be in the same
position.
Auto darkening filter’s functions (except model BASE)
Shade level adjustment. Select the shade level according to the welding
process (see Shade level chart). Model PRO 1 does not have function of shade
level adjustment. For models PRO 4, PRO 5 set required shade level using
external regulator (5) in the DIN 9-13 range. Models series PRO RC, ULTIMA,
VISION have an additional dark state mode with DIN 4/5-8 range (depending on
the model). Select required mode (6) and set
needed shade level using external regulator.
Delay adjustment. Models PRO 1, PRO 4 does not have function of delay
adjustment. Set delay time at any value from MIN (0.1 sec) to MAX (1,0 sec)
using regulator on auto darkening filter (7). MAX – longer delay, this value
is recommended for most welding processes, especially when welding at high
welding currents; MIN- short delay is more suitable for spot welding.
Sensitivity adjustment. Models PRO 1, PRO 4 does not have function of
sensitivity adjustment, Set sensitivity level at any value from LOW to HIGH
using regulator on auto darkening filter (8). It is recommended to set
sensitivity level to HIGH first and then lower it until the filter only
responds to arc flashes, ignoring any extraneous light (direct sunlight,
artificial lighting, another welder’s welding arc, etc.). HIGH is used for
most welding processes, especially when welding at low welding currents. LOW
is applied only to some specific lighting conditions to avoid unwanted
darkening.
TEST function. Models’ series PRO does not have function of checking
settings and functionality. Models series PRO RC, ULTIMA, VISION press
TEST/TEST MODE button (depending on the model) (9) to check shade level, delay
time and charge of replaceable battery.
For models with TEST MODE button press and hold this button (9). If the light
is flashing white, then the shade level mode is 4/5-8 DIN. If the light is
flashing green shade level mode is 9-13 DIN. The red light indicates that the
battery is low and needs to be replaced.
Replacement of cover lenses
External cover lens. Release the filter holder latches (10) and lift the
filter holder (11), replace the external cover lenses, put down the filter
holder and lock the filter holder with the latches. If your welding helmet on
front side has a notch under external cover lens, pull out external cover lens
with help of finger put in this notch. Put new cover lens with a same
dimension into welding helmet.
Internal cover lens. Pick up the cover lens with a thin object and pull
it towards you until it comes out of darkening filter. Insert a new lens of
suitable size.
Replacement of darkening filter
Models BASE, PRO 1. Release the filter holder latches (10), take out the
filter holder, pull out darkening filter by unbending side with locks, insert
new darkening filter, install the filter holder to welding helmet and lock the
filter holder with the latches.
Models PRO 4, PRO 5, models series PRO RC, ULTIMA, VISION. Take off
plastic handle of shade level regulator on the side of welding helmet,
unscrew fixing nut from rod of regulator, remove plastic gasket from
regulator, release the filter holder latches (10), take out the filter holder,
pull out darkening filter by unbending side with locks, insert new darkening
filter, install the filter holder to welding helmet, lock the filter holder
with the latches, insert regulator into side holes (rod of regulator goes to
big hole, stopper to small hole), put plastic gasket on rod of regulator
(match the hole of gasket with stopper of regulator), fix regulator by
screwing tight the nut on the rod of the regulator, turn rod of regulator
clockwise till it stops, put plastic handle on the rod of regulator (match the
pointer of handle with maximum value on the scale of plastic gasket).
Replacement of battery (except model BASE)
Replace battery according to instruction (12) depending on the model of
welding helmet. Location of replaceable battery is indicated on the auto
darkening filter.
Troubleshooting
Auto darkening filter does not operate properly (does not turn to dark state or turns to light state durin
- Front cover lens is dirty or damaged clean (see Storage and care) or replace cover lens (see Replacement of cover lenses).
- Sensors are dirty blocked operating. clean / do not block sensors during
- Solar battery is dirty / blocked-clean / do not block solar battery during welding.
- Sensitivity is set on too low level – adjust level of sensitivity properly (see Sensitivity adjustment).
- Delay is set on too short time adjust level of delay properly (see Delay adjustment).
- Check shade level and adjust it according to the welding process (see Shade level adjustment).
- Check charge of battery. If charge of battery is low, replace battery (see Replacement of battery).
Auto darkening filter turns to dark state before start of welding.
Sensitivity is set on too high level. Adjust sensitivity level (see
Sensitivity adjustment). Slow reaction of auto darkening filter on welding
process. Operating temperature is lower than -5°C (23°F).
Welding helmet slides off the head. Headband is not adjusted properly. Adjust
headband (see Headband adjustment).
