Sensitivity Control (XTV And XTP Models Only)

The sensitivity control is used to make the lens more responsive to differ- ing light levels experienced in various welding processes. We recom- mend a (Mid-Range or 30−50%) sensitivity setting for most applica- tions. Please refer to the chart below for recommended settings.

Recommended Sensitivity Settings

Stick Electrode

Mid-Range

 

 

Short Circuiting (MIG)

Low/Mid-Range

 

 

Gas Tungsten Arc (TIG)

Mid/High-Range

 

 

Plasma Arc Cutting/Welding

Low/Mid-Range

 

 

Helpful Hint For Setting Sensitivity In Low Amperage Tig, 50 Amps And Below:

1.Face the helmet front toward the floor.

2.Turn the sensitivity setting toward HI until the lens darkens.

3.Now, reduce the sensitivity by turning the control to the left until the lens lightens; you are then ready to weld.

4.When job is completed, return sensitivity control to mid-range.

Lens Delay Control

The lens delay control is used to slow the lens-switching time to the clear state after welding. The delay is particularly useful in eliminating bright after-rays present in higher amperage applications where the molten puddle remains bright momentarily after welding.

Low Battery Indicator

The low battery indicator lights when 2−3 days of battery life remain (see battery recommendations below).

Model XTF: Non-replaceable Lithium battery.

Model XTV: Replace with 2 AAA Alkaline batteries.

Model XTP: Replace with Lithium battery CR2450.

XTP, XTF, XTV specifications

Hobart Welding Products has established itself as a prominent player in the welding industry by providing innovative, durable, and user-friendly welding equipment. Among its acclaimed offerings are the XTV, XTF, and XTP series, which cater to a diverse range of welding applications.

The Hobart XTV series is particularly recognized for its versatility and performance. These machines are engineered with advanced inverter technology that not only enhances efficiency but also reduces the overall weight and size of the equipment. This makes the XTV series ideal for both professional welders and DIY enthusiasts seeking portability without sacrificing power. Additionally, the XTV models feature a digital display that provides real-time feedback, allowing users to make precise adjustments on the go. With their multi-process capabilities, XTV machines can seamlessly handle MIG, TIG, and stick welding, making them suitable for various materials and welding techniques.

On the other hand, the Hobart XTF series is tailored for shop and industrial use, with a robust design that ensures reliability in demanding environments. The XTF machines boast a higher duty cycle, enabling longer welding sessions without overheating. This series also implements a synergic control system that simplifies setup, automatically calibrating parameters based on the type of material and thickness. This user-friendly feature is particularly beneficial for novice welders, allowing for quicker learning curves and reduced error rates. Furthermore, the XTF machines support spool gun operation, providing enhanced feeding for aluminum welding, which is a crucial asset for those working with non-ferrous materials.

Lastly, the Hobart XTP series is developed with professional welders in mind, combining power with advanced control features. These units are built for heavy-duty applications and offer impressive output capabilities. The XTP models incorporate sophisticated cooling systems to manage heat dissipation, facilitating extended use under the most demanding conditions. The addition of programmable memory settings enables users to save preferred welding parameters for specific tasks, resulting in consistent and repeatable welds.

In summary, Hobart Welding Products’ XTV, XTF, and XTP series each present unique features that cater to varying welding needs. From portability and versatility in the XTV series to the robust, high-performance design of the XTF and the advanced control of the XTP, Hobart continues to be a trusted name for welders seeking quality and durability in their equipment. Whether for home projects or industrial applications, Hobart’s innovative technology empowers professionals and hobbyists alike.
