Setting The Delay; Filter Testing - ESAB Cigweld ProGuard Operating Manual

6.09 Setting the delay

The clearing delay can be adjusted manually by turning the delay knob (pos. 3) between a fast clear (0.1 sec) fully anti-clockwise and
a slow clear (1.0 sec) fully clockwise.

6.10 Filter Testing

Before use of the welding helmet the auto darkening filter (ADF) and helmet needs to be checked according to the following procedure:
1. Check outer protection lens is clean and can be seen through.
2. Ensure the sensors are not covered in any way and are clean.
Once these checks have been carried out you can now test the ADF.
Turn the outside shade knob to the darkest setting (shade 13) and set the sensitivity to the highest setting (turning clockwise). Now point
the sensor towards a light source such as an overhead light, lamp etc. The ADF should now switch to the dark state (please note if the
ADF is stored in a dark area away from light it may need to be left out in strong light for 20 minutes to absorb power, after 20 minutes if
the ADF does still not react then there is an issue with the sensor). Once the filter is in the dark state you can check the shade variation
is functioning correctly, simply turn the shade knob anti-clockwise. By doing this, the shade should get lighter. If the shade does not
appear to alter then you have an issue with the shade variation
To test the delay function, set the delay to the maximum setting. Now move the filter sensor away from the light source it should take
1 second to return to the light state, now after the delay setting to the minimum and repeat the process, the time taken to return to the
clear state should be 0.1 second. If the ADF does not react in this way, then there is an issue with the delay function.
Testing the sensitivity. Set the sensitivity to minimum setting now point the ADF at the light source you used to test the other functions
(if filter switches to dark state move away until the filter returns to clear state) slowly turn the sensitivity until the filter switches to dark
state (if it does not then move closer to the light until it reacts) if the ADF does not react then there is an issue with the light sensors.
If any of the functions fail during test or in use, then do not use the ADF and contact your local distributor.
The auto-darkening filters fitted in the ProGuard helmets are not waterproof and will not work properly if they have been in
contact with water.
Welding helmets and filters only resist a certain amount of heat. Please do not place them near naked flames or hot work
areas etc.
Operating temperature of electronic filter minus 10º to plus 65º C.
Materials that may get in contact with the wearers skin could cause Allergic reactions to susceptible individuals.
