Adjusting STREET ART (CHAMELEON 3V0)
helmet for a comfortable fit
1. Headgear Top - Adjusts headgear for proper depth on the head to ensure correct balance and
stability.
2. Headgear tightness - To adjust, push in the adjusting knob located on the back of the headgear and
turn left or right to desired tightness. Note: if adjustment is limited, it may be necessary to remove
the comfort cushion.
3. Distance adjustment - Adjusts the distance between the face and the lens. To adjust, loosen both
outside tension knobs and press inward to free from adjustment slots. Move forward or back to
desired position and retighten. (Both sides must be equally positioned for proper vision.)
4. Angle adjustment - Four pins on the right side of the headband top provide adjustment for the
forward tilt of the helmet. To adjust, loosen the right outside tension adjustment knob then lift on
the control arm tab and move it to the desired position. Retighten tension adjustment knob.
Replacement of the Front and Inside Lens Covers
Warning! Never use the auto-darkening lens without the inside and outside lens covers properly
installed. Welding spatter will damage the auto-darkening lens and void the warranty.
1. Outside/Inside - to remove either lens cover, first remove the auto-darkening lens assembly. To
remove the lens assembly, push down on the bottom retaining arms and push the retaining clips
toward the outside of the helmet. Then, just lift up on the assembly and pull free of the helmet.
Next, remove the outside lens cover by pushing into the helmet. Remove the rubber lens gasket
and install on the new lens cover. (When reinstalling the lens cover, make certain that smooth
surface on the lens gasket faces forward in the helmet.) Reinstall the lens assembly by reversing
the above procedure.
2. Inside - To replace the inside lens cover, remove the auto-darkening lens assembly from the lens
frame by pushing up on the top two retaining tabs while gently pushing the lens free. Remove the
lens cover by sliding it ou of either side. Replace with the new cover lens and reinstall the assembly
in the helmet by reversing the above procedure.
Cleaning
The helmet requires little maintenance. However, for best performance we recommend cleaning after
use. Using a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water solution, wipe the cover lenses clean.
Allow to air dry. Occasionally, the filter lens and sensors should be cleaned by gently wiping with a
soft, dry cloth. (Never use solvents or abrasive cleaning detergents. Do not immerse the lens assembly
in water).

Troubleshooting

Symptom
Not On - auto-lens will not darken
momentarily when turned on.
Not switching - auto-lens stays light
and will not darken when welding.
Not Switching - auto-lens stays dark
after the weld arc is extinguished,
or the auto-lens stays dark when
no arc is present.
Sections of the auto-lens are not going
dark, distinct lines separate the light
and dark areas.
Switching or Flickering - the auto-lens
darkens then lightens while the welding
arc is present.
Inconsistent or lighter auto-lens shading
In the dark-state, noticiable on the outside
edges and corners.

Solution
Check batteries and verify they are in good condition
and installed properly. Also, check battery surfaces and
contacts and clean if necessary. Check battery for
proper contact and gently adjust contact points if
necessary. This is particularly important if the helmet
has been dropped.
Stop welding immediately: Make sure the auto-lens
power is turned ON. If power is on, review the sensitivity
recommendations and adjust sensitivity. Clean lens
cover and sensors of any obstructions. Make sure the
sensors are facing the arc; angles of 45° or more may
not allow the arc light to reach the sensors.
Fine-tune the sensitivity setting by making small
adjustments to the control by turning it toward the "min"
setting. In extreme light conditions, it may be necessary
to reduce the surrounding light levels.
Stop welding immediately: The auto-lens may be
cracked which can be caused by the impact of dropping
the helmet. Weld spatter on the auto lens may also
cause cracking. (The lens needs to be replaced; most
cracked lenses are not covered by warranty).
Review the sensitivity setting recommendations and
increase the sensitivity if possible. Be sure the arc
sensors are not being blocked from direct access to the
arc light. Check the lens cover for dirt and spatter that
may be blocking the arc sensors.
Refferred to as an angle of view effect, auto darkening
lenses have an optimum viewing angle. The optimum
viewing angle is perpendicular or 90° to the surface of
the auto-lens. When that angle of view varies in the
dark-state, welders may notice slightly lighter areas at
the outside edges and the corners of the lens. This is
normal and does not represent any health or safety
hazard. This effect may also be more noticeable in
applications where magnifying lenses are used.
