4.2 Powering the Helmet

The helmet is powered by a combination of a solar cell and a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery.

  • The solar cell continuously charges the internal battery during use in bright light conditions.
  • For initial charge or when the battery is low, connect the provided USB Type-C cable to the charging port on the helmet and a suitable USB power source.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Controls and Settings

The helmet features external controls for easy adjustment of shade, sensitivity, and delay.

  • Shade Control: Adjust the darkness level from DIN 4 (Grind Mode) to DIN 5-9/9-13. Rotate the knob to select the appropriate shade for your welding process.
  • Sensitivity Control: Adjusts how sensitive the sensors are to the welding arc. Higher sensitivity is suitable for low amperage welding.
  • Delay Control: Determines how long the lens remains dark after the arc stops. A longer delay is useful for preventing eye fatigue from afterglow.
  • Mode Switch: Select between "Grind" mode (fixed shade DIN 4) and "Weld" mode (adjustable shade).
