Operating Instructions

Auto Darkening Function

The helmet features a high-end auto-darkening lens with four arc sensors. When an arc is detected, the lens will automatically darken to the selected shade level within 1/25000 seconds, protecting your eyes from intense light.

Adjusting Settings (Shade, Sensitivity, Delay)

The control knobs on the side of the helmet allow for easy adjustment of welding parameters:

• Shade Control: Adjust the darkness level. The lens operates at DIN4 in the light state and DIN5-9/9-13 in the dark state.
• Sensitivity Control: Adjust the sensitivity to accommodate different lighting conditions and welding processes.
• Delay Control: Slow down the lens transition from dark to light state (0.1 to 0.8 seconds) to prevent eye fatigue after the arc stops.

Operating Modes

The helmet supports multiple modes for various applications:

• Grind Mode: Set to DIN 4 for grinding operations.
• Cut Mode: Set to DIN 5-9 for cutting applications.
• Weld Mode: Set to DIN 9-13 for ARC, TIG, and MIG welding.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Helmet and Lenses

• Regularly clean the helmet shell with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Clean the inner and outer protective lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth and a mild lens cleaning solution. Do not use harsh chemicals.
• Ensure the arc sensors are clean and free from debris to maintain proper auto-darkening function.

Replacing Protective Lenses

The helmet comes with replacement lenses. Replace them when they become scratched, pitted, or otherwise impair visibility.

• Carefully remove the old protective lens by unlatching its retaining clips.
• Insert a new protective lens, ensuring it is seated correctly and the clips are securely fastened.

Battery Replacement

The CR2450 lithium battery should be replaced when the low battery indicator appears or if the auto-darkening function becomes unreliable. Refer to the battery compartment for specific instructions on replacement.
