If the protection meets the requirements at extremes of temperature (-5°C to +55°C) the marking is completed with the letter T. Additional markings on the product refer to other standards.

FUNCTIONS

On/Off

To activate the welding filter, press the ON/SHADE button. The welding filter automatically turns OFF after 1 hour of inactivity.

The welding filter has two photo sensors (see figA:2) that react independently and cause the filter to darken when a welding arc is struck. The welding filter may not go to dark position if the sensors are blocked or the welding arc is totally shielded.

Flashing light sources (e.g. safety strobe lights) can trigger the welding filter making it flash 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.

Shade

Models Speedglas 100S-10 and Speedglas 100S-11 have a fixed dark shade where no setting is required.

Model Speedglas 100V has selectable dark shade settings. Five different Shade Number settings, 8-12, are available in the dark state. In order to see the current Shade Number setting, momentarily press the ON/SHADE button. To select another Shade Number, press the ON/SHADE button repeatedly while the LED indicators on the display are flashing. Move the flashing LED to the desired Shade Number.

In all welding processes the arc should only be viewed with the recommended dark shade. See table page 217.
