Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the welding helmet from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage.
- Headband Adjustment: Adjust the headband to ensure a comfortable and secure fit on your head. The helmet should sit firmly without being too tight.
- Initial Power Check: The electronic device is powered by high-efficiency solar cells and contains two internal 3V lithium batteries. These batteries are designed for long-term use and typically only require replacement after many years. Ensure the solar cells are exposed to light to maintain charge.
- Shade Level Setting: Before welding, set the desired shade level using the adjustment knob (DIN 4/9-13). Refer to welding standards for appropriate shade levels for your specific welding process.
Operating Instructions
- Pre-Weld Check: Before striking an arc, ensure the helmet is in the transparent state and the auto-darkening function is ready.
- Welding: Position the helmet over your face. As soon as the welding arc is struck, the special filter will automatically switch to the pre-selected dark shade level.
- Post-Weld: Once the arc is extinguished, the filter will automatically return to the transparent state, allowing you to inspect your work.
- Adjusting Shade: The shade level can be adjusted between DIN 4/9-13. Select a shade appropriate for the amperage and type of welding being performed.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the helmet shell with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Clean the auto-darkening filter and protective lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth and a mild lens cleaning solution.
- Battery Replacement: The internal 3V lithium batteries are designed for extended use and typically do not require frequent replacement. If the auto-darkening function becomes unreliable, consult a qualified technician for battery replacement.
- Storage: Store the helmet in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
- Filter not darkening:
- Ensure solar cells are exposed to sufficient light.
- Check for damage to the filter or sensors.
- If issues persist, the internal batteries may need professional replacement.
- Poor visibility:
- Clean the protective lenses and auto-darkening filter.
- Ensure the correct shade level is selected for the welding process.
