SENSITIVITY SETTING (SPEEDGLAS 100V
ONLY)
The sensitivity of the photo detector system (which
responds to the light from the welding arc) can be adjusted
to accommodate a variety of welding methods and
workplace conditions. In order to see the current sensitivity
setting, momentarily press the SENS button. To select
another setting, press the SENS button repeatedly until the
LED shows the desired setting.
Position 1
Least sensitive setting. Used if there is
interference from other welders' arcs in the
vicinity.
Position 2
Normal position. Used for most types of
welding indoors and outdoors.
Position 3
Position for welding with low current or with
stable welding arcs. (eg TIG welding)
Position
Locked in light state (shade 3) at all times.
Used for grinding.
If the filter does not darken during welding as desired,
increase the sensitivity until the welding filter switches
reliably. Should the sensitivity be set too high, the filter may
remain in the dark state after welding is complete due to
ambient light. In this case, adjust the sensitivity downward
to a setting where the welding filter both darkens and
lightens as desired.
DELAY (3M SPEEDGLAS 100V)
The delay function should be used to set the recovery delay
of the welding filter from dark to light according to welding
method and current.
Position - Short opening time
Position + Normal opening time.
LOW BATTERY INDICATOR
The batteries should be replaced when the low battery
indicator flashes or LEDs do not flash when the buttons are
pressed.
WARNING
Should the Speedglas 100 welding shield fail to switch
to the dark state in response to an arc, stop welding
immediately and inspect the welding filter as described in
these instructions. Continued use of a welding filter that fails
to switch to the dark state may cause temporary vision loss.
If the problem cannot be identified and corrected, do not
use the welding filter, contact your supervisor, distributor or
3M for assistance.
MAINTENANCE
REPLACEMENT OF OUTER PROTECTION
PLATE.
Remove front frame. (see figure C:1)
Remove the used outer protection plate and place the new
outer protection plate on the welding filter. (see figure C:2)
Front frame must always be used (see figure C:3).
REPLACEMENT OF WELDING FILTER
The welding filter can be removed and replaced according
to figure E:1 - E:4.
REPLACEMENT OF INNER PROTECTION
PLATE
2
The used inner protection plate is removed as illustrated
in figure D:1. The new inner protection plate should be
mounted after the protective film is removed as illustrated
in figure D:2.
Magnifying lens (accessory) mounting (see figure D:3).
REPLACEMENT OF BATTERIES
The welding filter must be removed from the welding shield
to access the battery compartment (see figure E:1-E:4).
Take out the battery holder (use a small screwdriver if
necessary). Insert new batteries in the battery holder
according to figure G:1. Slide the battery holder into the
welding filter until it snaps in position. Note that all settings
will be reset to the original manufacturing setting.
REPLACEMENT OF HEADBAND
The headband can be replaced according to figure F:1-F:2.
CAUTION
The used batteries/worn out product parts should be
disposed of according to local regulations. The welding filter
should be disposed of as electronic waste.
TEMPERATURE RANGE
The recommended operating temperature range for
the product is -5°C to +55°C. Store in a clean and dry
environment, temperature range -30°C to +70°C and
relative humidity less than 90%.
INSPECTION
The sensors (see fig A:2) on the welding filter must be kept
clean and uncovered at all times for correct function.
To check that the electronics and buttons are working, press
the buttons and the LED indicators will flash.
WARNING
•
Carefully inspect the complete Speedglas 100 welding
shield assembly before each use. Check for cracks
in the shield and look for light leaks. Cracked, pitted
or scratched filter glass or protection plates reduce
vision and can seriously impair protection. All damaged
components should be replaced immediately.
•
To avoid damage to the product do not use solvents
for cleaning. Clean the welding filter and protection
plates with a lint-free tissue or cloth. Clean the welding
shield with a mild detergent and lukewarm water. Do not
immerse in water or spray directly with liquids.
•
The welding shield is heat resistant and approved
against standard requirements for flammability but can
catch fire or melt in contact with open flames or very hot
surfaces. Keep the shield clean to minimize this risk.
•
Materials that come into contact with skin may cause
allergic reactions to susceptible persons.
