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 flashing 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 filter 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, reflected 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 five 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 flashing 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 filter 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 flashing 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
Color C – displays warm color tone in dark shade
