Adf Function - 3M Speedglas 9100 MP Manual De Instrucciones

ADF Function

a. Should the 3M™ Speedglas™ Auto Darkening Filter (ADF) 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.
b. Carefully inspect the complete 3M™ Speedglas™ 9100 ADF 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 visor.
c. The 3M™ Speedglas™ Welding Helmet 9100 MP (used with 3M™ Speedglas™ ADFs 9100 Series )
are not suitable for laser welding or welding processes that require shade 14 or higher filters. Use of this
product for these applications may result in permanent eye injury and vision loss.
d. Only operate the ADF at temperatures between 23°F (-5°C) and 131°F (+55°C). If used outside of this
range, the filter may not perform as designed and may result in permanent eye injury and vision loss.
On/Off
To activate the ADF, press the SHADE/ON button. The ADF automatically turns OFF after 1 hour of inactivity.
The ADF has three photo sensors that react independently and cause the filter to darken when a welding arc
is struck. 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 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
Seven different shade settings are available, split into two groups, 5, 8 and 9-13. In order to see the current
shade setting, momentarily press the SHADE/ON button. To change shade, press the SHADE/ON button
repeatedly. Move the flashing LED to the desired shade. To shift between the two shade groups (shade 5, 8)
and (shade 9-13); hold the SHADE/ON button down for 2 seconds. In all welding processes the arc should only
be viewed with the recommended dark shade (Table 2).
