ESAB Eye-Tech 11 Mono Instructions

INSTRUCTIONS for
ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin. Wear safety
glasses and set proper filter shade. See ANSI/AWS
Z49.1 for guide. Available from American Welding
Society, Miami, FL 33135.
The Eye-Tech 11 Mono welding helmet is delivered fully
assembled and ready for use. You only need to adjust
the headband. The shade cartridge automatically dark-
ens to a shade 11 with arc ignition. The normal shade
before an arc is struck is 4 DIN.
Safety Precautions
Pitted or scratched plates reduce vision and protec-
tion. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
Always keep the external and internal protective plates
in place. Failure to do so will allow welding spatter to
pit the front surface of the shade cartridge. This can
reduce the built-in UV and IR protection. (Also, the weld
spatter will void the warranty on the shade cartridge.)
Do not attempt to open the shade cartridge.
Do not use in cold weather (below 14° F).
Keep solar cells clean. Clean with a damp not wet, cloth
dipped in soapy water. Dry with a soft, clean cloth.
Do not drop, strike, or bend helmet.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents.
Fumes and gases can be hazardous to your health.
Keep your head out of the fumes. Ventilate area or use
breathing devices, if necessary.
Keep helmet dry (especially the shade cartridge) and
do not place on hot surfaces.
Operation
Check to see if the front cover lens is inserted and front
lens frame is in place.
Adjust the headband tension. The helmet is ready to use.
The cartridge will darken with arc ignition.
Be sure this information reaches the operator.
You can get extra copies through your supplier.

tance between your eyes and the shade cartridge to
vary. If necessary, decrease distance to shade car-
tridge.
The shade cartridge does not darken or it flickers
- Sensors are dirty; clean
- Front cover lens is dirty or damaged; clean or replace
- Welding current is too low
Slow switching times
- Temperature is too low (should not be below 14° F)
- Lighting is insufficient
Poor visibility
- Shade levels are set incorrectly
- Front or rear cover lens is dirty
- Room lighting is insufficient
Welding helmet slips
