Adf Function; Preparation For Use - 3M Speedglas G5-01 Directives D'utilisation

ADF Function

1. Should the 3M™ Speedglas™ Auto-Darkening Filter ADF G5-01 or ADF G5-01VC fail to switch to dark mode upon striking an arc, stop
welding immediately and inspect the ADF as described in these User Instructions. Continued use of an ADF that fails to switch to the dark state
may result in permanent eye injury and vision loss. If the problem cannot be identified and corrected, do not use the ADF; contact your
supervisor, distributor or 3M for assistance.
2. Carefully inspect the complete 3M™ Speedglas™ ADF G5-01 or ADF G5-01VC before each use. Cracked, pitted or scratched filter glass or
protection plates reduce vision and can seriously impair protection. All damaged components should be replaced immediately. Remove any
protective film from the ADF before initial use.
3. The 3M™ Speedglas™ ADF G5-01 or ADF G5-01VC are not suitable for laser welding or welding processes that require filters greater than
Shade 13 or Shade 14, respectively. Use of this product for these applications may result in permanent eye injury and vision loss.
4. Only operate the welding helmet at temperatures between 23°F (–5°C) and 131°F (+55°C). If used outside of this range, the system may not
perform as designed and may result in serious bodily injury, sickness or death.
5. FCC
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
a. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
b. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
a. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
b. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
c. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
d. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

PREPARATION FOR USE

1. ON/OFF
The ADF is motion sensitive and will automatically turn ON when picked up at the beginning of the day or when a new battery is inserted. During
its initial power-up, all of the adjustment lights will cycle quickly, one at a time. The ADF automatically turns OFF when set down after 1 hour of
inactivity. The ADF has four photo sensors that react independently and cause the filter to darken when a welding arc is struck (Fig. 10). The ADF
may not turn dark if the sensors are blocked or the welding arc is totally shielded. Flashing light sources (e.g. safety strobe lights) can trigger the
ADF making it darken when no welding is occurring. This interference can occur from long distances and/or from reflected light. Welding areas
must be shielded from such interference.
2. Shade
a. Seven (ADF G5-01) or eight (ADF G5-01VC) different shade settings are available, split into two groups, CUT 5 and 8-13 or 8-14, respectively.
In order to see the current shade setting, quickly press and release the SHADE + or – button. The current shade number will blink. To change
shade, press the + or – button repeatedly to move the flashing LED up or down to the desired shade. The ADF will cycle between SHADE 3
and the desired shade (Fig. 11a and 11b).
NOTE: When turned off (or if the battery fails) the G5-01 ADF reverts to Shade 5, and G5-01VC ADF to Shade 7. When functioning, the ADF cycles
between the selected Shade and Shade 3.
b. CUT 5 is used to lock the ADF at SHADE 5 for torch cutting operations, etc. Press the – button repeatedly until the CUT 5 setting is reached.
While in the CUT 5 mode, no other setting (sensitivity or delay) can be adjusted.
c. The shade may be LOCKED in a desired dark shade by simultaneously holding down the + and – buttons for a moment. To come out of the
LOCKED state, again hold down the + and – buttons for a moment. While LOCKED, the shade may be adjusted, but none of the other function
(sensitivity or delay) will operate.
