What is the viewing area size?

How do I adjust the shade level?

The shade level can be adjusted externally between DIN 9 and DIN 13 using the dedicated controls on the helmet.

Does it offer UV/IR protection?

What is the switching speed?

The switching speed from light to dark is 1/25,000 seconds.

Troubleshooting

Helmet does not auto-darken

Check if the protective film is removed from the sensors. Ensure the helmet is in 'Weld' mode and not 'Grind' mode. Verify that the sensitivity is set appropriately. Check the power source (solar and battery).

Lens is too dark or too light

Adjust the 'Dark Shade' setting (DIN 9-13) according to your welding current and preference. Consult the manual for recommended shade levels for different welding processes.

Delayed return to light state causes discomfort

Adjust the 'Delay Time' setting to a shorter duration if the lens remains dark for too long after the arc stops.

Low visibility in ambient light

Ensure the 'Light Shade' is set to DIN 4. Check that the sensor lenses are clean and unobstructed.
