INSTRUCTIONS for

Eye-Tech 11 Mono

Welding Helmet

P/N 15F22

ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin. Wear safety

glasses and set proper filter shade. See ANSI/AWS

Z49.1 for guide. Available from American Welding

Society, Miami, FL 33135.

The Eye-Tech 11 Mono welding helmet is delivered fully

assembled and ready for use. You only need to adjust

the headband. The shade cartridge automatically dark-

ens to a shade 11 with arc ignition. The normal shade

before an arc is struck is 4 DIN.

Safety Precautions

z Pitted or scratched plates reduce vision and protec-

tion. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.

z Always keep the external and internal protective plates

in place. Failure to do so will allow welding spatter to

pit the front surface of the shade cartridge. This can

reduce the built-in UV and IR protection. (Also, the weld

spatter will void the warranty on the shade cartridge.)

z Do not attempt to open the shade cartridge.

z Do not use in cold weather (below 14° F).

z Keep solar cells clean. Clean with a damp not wet, cloth

dipped in soapy water. Dry with a soft, clean cloth.

z Do not drop, strike, or bend helmet.

z Do not use abrasive cleaning agents.

z Fumes and gases can be hazardous to your health.

Keep your head out of the fumes. Ventilate area or use

breathing devices, if necessary.

z Keep helmet dry (especially the shade cartridge) and

do not place on hot surfaces.

Operation

z Check to see if the front cover lens is inserted and front

lens frame is in place.

z Adjust the headband tension. The helmet is ready to use.

The cartridge will darken with arc ignition.

Troubleshooting

z Uneven darkening

- Protective helmet is not on straight, causing the dis-

tance between your eyes and the shade cartridge to

vary. If necessary, decrease distance to shade car-

tridge.

z The shade cartridge does not darken or it flickers

- Sensors are dirty; clean

- Front cover lens is dirty or damaged; clean or replace

- Welding current is too low

z Slow switching times

- Temperature is too low (should not be below 14° F)

- Lighting is insufficient

z Poor visibility

- Shade levels are set incorrectly

- Front or rear cover lens is dirty

- Room lighting is insufficient

z Welding helmet slips

- Headband is not properly adjusted (set too low)

If these faults cannot be corrected, do not use

helmet. Contact your distributor for assistance.
