AUTO-DARKENING WELDING PROTECTION FILTER
CONTINUED
SHADE ADJUSTMENT
Our model enables shade adjustment range
from 9 to 13. It can be adjusted by the knob
»Shade« which is located on the filter.
ADJUSTMENT OF SENSITIVITY
Most welding applications can be performed
with welding light sensitivity set to maximum.
The maximum sensitivity level is appropriate
for low welding current work, TIG, or special
applications. The welding light sensitivity
has to be reduced only in some specific
surrounding lighting conditions in order to
avoid unwanted triggering. As a simple rule
for optimum performance, it is recommended
to set sensitivity to the maximum at the
beginning and then gradually reduce it,
until the filter reacts only to the welding
light flashes and without annoying spurious
triggering due to ambient light conditions
(direct sun, intensive artificial light,
neighboring welder's arcs etc.)
OPENING TIME DELAY ADJUSTMENT:
The opening time delay can be adjusted from
0.1 to 1.0 seconds. It is recommended to use a
shorter delay with spot welding applications
and a longer delay with applications using
higher currents and longer welding intervals.
Longer delay can also be used for low current
TIG welding in order to prevent the filter
opening when the light path to the sensors is
temporarily obstructed by a hand, torch, etc.
STORAGE
When not in use the Auto-Darkening Filter
should be stored in a dry place within the
temperature range of -4°F (-20°C) to +149°F
(65°C). Prolonged exposure to temperatures
28
above 113°F (45°C) may decrease the battery
lifetime of the auto-darkening welding filter.
It is recommended to keep the solar cells of
the auto-darkening welding filter in the dark
or not exposed to light during storage in order
to maintain power down mode. This can be
achieved by simply placing the filter face
down on a storage shelf.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
It is always necessary to keep the solar cells
and the light sensors of the auto-darkening
welding filter free of dust and spatters:
cleaning can be done with a soft tissue or a
cloth soaked in mild detergent (or alcohol).
Never use aggressive solvents such as
acetone. RPB
filters should always be
®
protected from both sides by protection
screens, which should also be only cleaned
with a soft tissue or cloth. If protection
screens are in any way damaged, they must
be immediately replaced.
WARRANTY
The warranty period of RPB
three years. Failure to follow these instructions
may invalidate the warranty. RPB
accept responsibility for any issues, which may
arise from applications other than welding.
