Troubleshooting

Helmet does not auto-darken

Ensure the lens protective films have been removed. Check that the shade is set correctly and not on the grinding function. Verify the battery is properly installed and has power. Ensure the arc is strong enough to trigger the sensors.

Visibility is too dark or too light

Adjust the shade setting (9-13) according to the welding process and amperage. Consult welding charts for recommended shade numbers. Ensure the internal protective cover lens is clean.

Delayed return to light state is too long or too short

Adjust the delay control knob to your preference. A shorter delay is useful for tack welding, while a longer delay is better for continuous welding.

Headband is uncomfortable or slips

Readjust the headband using the quick-release ratchet mechanism for a more secure and personalized fit. Ensure the helmet is positioned correctly on your head.
