Operation and Comfort
As soon as you strike an arc, your new ARCONE
®
welding filter will automatically
darken. Our advanced optical detection system monitors your welding process to
ensure that your filter remains in the dark state in a wide range of arc-welding
applications. Protection from harmful ultra-violet / infrared radiation is always present
whether in the light or dark state.
Your new filter energizes automatically as soon as the arc is struck. All models are
solar powered so there are no on / off switches. There are no alkaline batteries to
change and no corrosion caused by leaky batteries. All A
RCONE
®
products have a
lithium battery back up that supports the solar panels to ensure delay free operation
even in totally dark conditions.
Your new filter is capable of working in virtually all arc-welding applications. The arc
detection system is designed to detect an electronic welding arc and filter out other
sources of light. A
RCONE
®
welding filters are not designed for oxy-acetylene, laser, or
very low amperage welding applications. It is virtually impossible to be specific as to
how low an amperage the sensors can detect. Every welding application is different
and there are other factors that may effect operation such as distance from the arc,
welding frequency, electrode type, shielding gasses, and lighting conditions (see Table
1).
We also know the importance of comfort. Our welding helmets are not only engineered
for safety and functionality but also for comfort. We have fully adjustable headgear that
is very comfortable and virtually indestructible. A
RCONE
®
offers many different helmet
designs with many different styles and features. Whether you choose our lightest and
extremely durable nylon Hawk helmet or our reinforced fiberglass Falcon helmet you
will appreciate the noticeable difference our many designs offer (see table 3).
Preparations for Use
Before you begin welding always inspect your helmet and filter to ensure they are not
damaged. Check to see if the filter protection plates are clean, clear, and securely
attached to the helmet and covering the auto-darkening filter both front and rear.
