Cartridge Operation/Features

Variable Shade Control
The shade can be adjusted from shade 6 to 9 and 9 to 13 based upon welding process or
application (refer to shade selection chart on page 8). Shade is adjusted by setting the shade range
switch to the proper range, then use the shade dual scale dial to set the desired shade. The shade
range switch and dual scale dial are located on the ADF cartridge as shown below.
Test
Press and hold test to preview shade selection before welding. When released the viewing window
will automatically return to the light state (3.5 Shade).
Sensitivity Knob
Adjust the light sensitivity by turning the SENSITIVITY knob to the left or right as shown in the figure
below. Turning the knob all the way to the left, the HIGH setting, is typically selected for normal use.
When helmet is used in the presence of excess ambient light or with another welding machine close
by, improved helmet performance can be obtained with a lower setting by turning the knob to the
right to reduce the sensitivity. Grind mode can be selected by rotating the sensitivity knob all the
way to the right until an audible click is heard.
Grind mode is intended for grinding only not for welding.
Delay Knob
This control is designed to protect the welder's eyes from the strong residual rays after welding.
Changing the DELAY knob will vary the dark to light time between 0.1 second (SHORT) to 1.0
second (LONG). LONG setting is recommended for welding arc has ceased and for situations
where the filter may be temporarily blocked from seeing the welding arc.
Power
This ADF cartridge is powered by a replaceable battery and solar power. The battery is located at
the bottom corner of the ADF cartridge. Replace battery when LOW BATTERY light is lit. See the
specification chart on page 4 for type of battery required.
