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).
