3.

Fig. 4a Fig. 4b

5. The resting tilt of the welding helmet (how far downward the lens settles) and the distance from the face may also be adjusted.

a. At the right-side pivot point there is a small lever to stop the downward travel of the welding helmet. At the high position the welding helmet

will come to rest so the welder can weld slightly above eye level. At the low position the welding helmet will face at a slightly downward angle

(Fig. 5a). With the grinding shield in the up position, push the lever in toward the head and adjust it up or down. Bring the shield down to the

stopping point to see where it rests.

b. To adjust the welding helmet in and out (closer and further from the face) there are two slides on either side of the head suspension. To

unlock the slides, push up on the gray buttons with your thumbs and slide the welding helmet out or in, adjusting to your personal preference

(Fig.5b). This adjustment will help with safety glasses spacing and also magnication lens distance.

7. Raising and lowering the inner grinding shield can be done with the faceseal tabs. The outer ADF frame may stay raised or be lowered with the

inner grinding shield.

a. To raise, pull out and up on the tabs located on either side of the faceseal. To lower, pull down on the tabs and ensure the faceseal is seated

under the chin. Ensure the inner shield is fully down and covering your face. The welding helmet should sit level on your head with the

faceseal gently hugging your face (Fig. 7a).

b. If the faceseal feels loose, or has any gaps, use the drawstrings and barrel clips at the temple region (Fig. 7b) to tighten the faceseal to

remove any gaps in the faceseal; removing the welding helmet to accomplish this may be easier. The soft cotton-like material on the edge

of the faceseal should come into contact with the skin around the entire faceseal perimeter and the faceseal should be snug (t 2 ngers

between the face and seal) without being uncomfortable.

Fig. 7a Fig. 7b

8. The airow may be adjusted inside the welding helmet for wearing comfort. Airow may be adjusted two separate ways – entering from the lower

jawline of the welding helmet or entering at the top of the visor, or a mix of the two. The air entering at the top of the visor may also be further

adjusted to point toward the visor or toward the wearer’s face.

a. To adjust airow from bottom to top, lift the outer welding shield into the raised (open) position. Locate the UP – DOWN lever on the left side

of the welding helmet. Adjust it to the desired position for incoming airow (Fig. 8a). The adjustment drives a set of gears in the top of the

welding helmet that runs air to different channels.

b. To adjust the airow toward the visor or the wearer’s face, with the airow coming from the top (UP) of the welding helmet, locate the VISOR

– FACE lever on the right side of the welding helmet. Adjust it to the desired position for incoming airow (Fig. 8b). The adjustment drives a

deector in the top of the welding helmet that aims air at the visor or wearer’s face.

NOTE: When air is directed completely to the jawline of the wearer (DOWN position), the VISOR – FACE controls will have no effect.

c. The air distribution and comfort is also affected by the tilt position of the welding helmet and the distance of the welding helmet from the

wearer’s face (see “Welding Helmet Donning & Fitting” #5).

PREPARATION FOR USE

1. ON/OFF

The ADF is motion sensitive and will automatically turn ON when picked up at the beginning of the day or when a new battery is inserted. During

its initial power-up, all of the adjustment lights will cycle quickly, one at a time. The ADF automatically turns OFF when set down after 1 hour of

inactivity. The ADF has four photo sensors that react independently and cause the lter to darken when a welding arc is struck (Fig. 10). The ADF

may not turn dark if the sensors are blocked or the welding arc is totally shielded. Flashing light sources (e.g. safety strobe lights) can trigger the

ADF making it darken when no welding is occurring. This interference can occur from long distances and/or from reected light. Welding areas

must be shielded from such interference.

2. Shade

a. Seven (ADF G5-01) or eight (ADF G5-01VC) different shade settings are available, split into two groups, CUT 5 and 8-13 or 8-14, respectively.

In order to see the current shade setting, quickly press and release the SHADE + or – button. The current shade number will blink. To change

shade, press the + or – button repeatedly to move the ashing LED up or down to the desired shade. The ADF will cycle between SHADE 3

and the desired shade (Fig. 11a and 11b).

NOTE: When turned off (or if the battery fails) the G5-01 ADF reverts to Shade 5, and G5-01VC ADF to Shade 7. When functioning, the ADF cycles

between the selected Shade and Shade 3.

b. CUT 5 is used to lock the ADF at SHADE 5 for torch cutting operations, etc. Press the – button repeatedly until the CUT 5 setting is reached.

While in the CUT 5 mode, no other setting (sensitivity or delay) can be adjusted.

c. The shade may be LOCKED in a desired dark shade by simultaneously holding down the + and – buttons for a moment. To come out of the

LOCKED state, again hold down the + and – buttons for a moment. While LOCKED, the shade may be adjusted, but none of the other function

(sensitivity or delay) will operate.

* As a rule of thumb, start with a shade that is too dark to see the weld zone. Then go to a lighter shade which gives sufcient view of the weld

zone without going below the minimum. In oxyfuel gas welding, cutting, or brazing where the torch and/or the ux produces a high yellow light, it is

desirable to use a lter lens that absorbs the yellow or sodium line of the visible light spectrum.

3. Sensitivity Selection

The sensitivity of the arc detection system can be adjusted to accommodate a variety of welding processes and workplace conditions.

a. In order to see the current sensitivity setting, quickly press and release the SENS + or – button. The current sensitivity number will blink. To

change sensitivity, press the + or – button repeatedly to move the ashing LED up or down to the desired sensitivity (Fig. 12).

b. The settings correspond to:

5 High: Most sensitive, for low energy TIG welding or where part of the arc may be obscured from view

4 Medium High: Standard TIG welding operations

3 Medium: Low current arc welding and stabile arcs with much ambient light

2 Normal: Used for most types of welding

1 Low: Least sensitive, arc must be directly in front of welder or used if other welder’s arcs interfere (darken) the ADF

c. If the ADF does not switch to the dark state during welding as desired, increase the sensitivity. Should the sensitivity be set too high, the

welding lter may remain in the dark state after welding is stopped due to ambient light. In this case decrease the sensitivity. The sensitivity

cannot be adjusted when in CUT 5 or LOCKED mode.

NOTE: The higher the setting, the higher the sensitivity. At the highest sensitivity, even the smallest amount of light change (light from surrounding

welders, strobe lights, reected glare, etc.) will trigger the ADF to darken. If the ADF is triggering when it is not supposed to, a lower sensitivity setting

may be needed.

4. Delay

The delay function allows the user to manually increase or decrease the recovery delay time (going from dark, back to light) according to the

requirements of the welding process to reduce eye fatigue. A longer delay may help protect the eyes from the bright light of a large, hot weld puddle.

ADF G5-01 has four different settings with a TACK setting for tack welding and ADF G5-01VC has ve different settings with a variable color setting.

a. In order to see the current delay setting, quickly press and release the DELAY + or – button. The current delay number will blink. To change

the delay, press the + or – button repeatedly to move the ashing LED up or down to the desired delay (Fig. 13a and 13b).

b. On ADF G5-01, the tack weld (TACK) setting is used to reduce eye strain from repeated, short bursts of arc and the eye having to constantly

adjust to different light levels. After each darkening, the ADF will revert to Shade 5 (instead of shade 3). If continued arcs are struck within

2 seconds, the ADF will continue to cycle between the desired shade and Shade 5. If a new arc is not struck within 2 seconds, the ADF will

revert to its normal light state of Shade 3 (Fig. 13a).

5. Variable Color

The color, as seen through the welding lter in the dark state, may be changed to suit the welder’s preference.

a. In order to see the current color setting, quickly press and release the TRI-COLOR button. The current setting will blink. To change the setting,

press the TRI-COLOR button repeatedly to move the ashing LED to the desired color (Fig. 14).

b The settings correspond to:

Color A – displays natural color tone in dark shade

Color B – displays cool color tone in dark shade
