Translation of the original instructions
The opto-electronic filter in the mask is not waterproof and will not
function properly if it has been in contact with water.
The welding mask must be moved carefully to avoid damage to the
filter, guards and/or protective shell.
Maintenance :
- Do not place heavy objects or tools on or in the facepiece to
avoid damage to the filter or face shields.
Mask storage temperatures range from -10°C to +60°C.
- Clean the Optoelectronic Filter with a clean cotton or special
lens cloth.
- Regularly clean and change the guard screens.
- Clean the inside and outside of the mask with a neutral
detergent-disinfectant. Do not use solvents.
- Make sure that the sensors and cell are not obstructed by dust or
debris.
- We recommend using the mask and visors for 5 years. The length
of use depends on various factors such as type of use, cleaning,
storage and maintenance.
BEFORE WELDING
-Check that the welding helmet is in good condition and headband adjustment.
-Check whether the front cover lens, the front frame and filter are inserted and fixed in place. In case of anomalie, please proceed to its reconditionning.
-Make sure that the 4 sensors (9) and the cell (8) are not obstructed by dust or debris.
-Make sure that the protection films on both screens are removed.
-Check that the protection level matches your welding processes. Please refer to the following chart to help your choice (cf. welding process board)
OPERATION
The opto-electronic GYSMATIC LCD XL welding helmet instantaneously switches from light to dark state when a welding arc is struck and switches back to the light state
when the arc stops.

● Potentiometer «WELD / GRIND» :
The « WELD / GRIND « potentiometer is used to adjust the shade according to the selected adjustment range (5-9 or 9-13).
For non-welding operations such as grinding, it is possible to disconnect the sensor by switching the potentiometer to the «GRIND» mode. The
1
LED flashes to indicate that the sensor is disconnected.
CAUTION: Make sure to switch back to «WELD» mode before any welding operation.
• Internal sensitivity potentiometer : Sensitivity adjustment according to :
- Light ambient: Without welding, turn the sensitivity setting towards «max», then turn the sensitivity setting towards «low» until filter lightens.
2
- Welding process: «Max» position for low amperage TIG rpocess / Medium range for most application.
• Internal delay potentionmeter: Time to get the clear state back.
3
Delay is designed for slower switching time to clear state to eliminate remained bright rays.
The internal shade range selector allows to choose the shade range between 5-9 or 9-13.
