3-3. Mode Control (VSi Helmet Only) 1 Mode Control Button Slide Mode Control switch to select the mode appropriate for the work activity. 1 Slide switch away from the desired mode (Weld or X-Mode). When the switch is moved, “On” is revealed next to the active mode. Weld Mode − used for most welding applications. In this mode the lens turns on when it optically senses a welding arc. Adjust shade, sensitivity, and delay settings as needed. X-Mode − used for outdoor or low current welding applications.
PAGE 11
3-4. Lens Delay Control 1 Lens Delay Control The lens delay control is used to adjust the time for the lens to switch to the clear state after welding. 1 The delay is particularly useful in eliminating bright after-rays present in higher amperage applications where the molten puddle remains bright momentarily after welding. Variable Shade helmet adjusts from Slow to Fast and VSi helmet adjusts from Min to Max (0.1 to 1.0 second).

3-5. Variable Shade Control 1 1 Variable Shade Lens Assembly 1 Variable Shade Control Lens shade can be adjusted from No. 8 − 12 on Variable Shade helmet, and from No. 8 − 13 on VSi helmet. VSi Lens Assembly Use the control to adjust the lens shade in the darkened state. Use the table below to select proper shade control setting based on your weld- ing process. Application Welding Arc Current in Amperes Protective Shade No.
PAGE 13
3-6. Sensitivity Control 1 1 Sensitivity Control Use control to make the lens more responsive to different light levels in various welding processes. Use a MidRange or 30−50% sensitivity setting for most applications. It may be necessary to adjust helmet sensitivity to accommodate different lighting conditions or if lens is flashing On and Off. Adjust helmet sensitivity as follows: Adjust helmet sensitivity in lighting conditions helmet will be used in.

SECTION 4 − ADJUSTING HEADGEAR There are four headgear adjustments: headgear top, tightness, distance adjustment, and angle adjustment. 1 Headgear Top Adjustment Adjusts headgear for proper depth on the head to ensure correct balance and stability. 1 3 2 Headgear Tightness Adjustment Adjusts headgear for a secure fit. To adjust, push in the adjusting knob located on the back of the headgear. Turn knob left or right to obtain desired tightness.
