• High: High sensitivity - for low current or stable arcs (e.g. TIG welding at low amps).
2. The delay control is used to adjust the hold time of the filter lens after welding is completed. Use
toggle switch to adjust as required for application.
• Min: Fast recovery to light state - for spot or tack welding. (e.g.; need to have a clear view
quickly after finishing the weld).
• Max: Delayed recovery to light state (e.g.; high amperage applications where bright weld
pools must cool briefly before viewing).
