How to fix a Miller Classic auto lens that is not turning on?
If the Miller Welding Accessories auto lens isn't turning on and doesn't darken when you press the Reset button, check the batteries. Make sure they are in good condition and installed correctly. Also, inspect the battery surfaces and contacts, cleaning them if necessary.
Why is my Miller Classic auto lens switching or flickering?
If your Miller Welding Accessories auto lens is switching or flickering, and the lens darkens then lightens during welding, review the sensitivity setting recommendations and increase sensitivity if possible. Ensure the arc sensors have direct access to the arc light. Check the lens cover for dirt and spatter that might be blocking the sensors. Increasing Lens Delay to the Fast position may also reduce switching.
Why does my Miller Classic Welding Accessories auto lens stay dark?
If your Miller Welding Accessories auto lens stays dark after the weld arc is extinguished, or remains dark when no arc is present, fine-tune the sensitivity setting by making small adjustments to the control, turning it toward the “min” setting. In extremely bright conditions, reducing the surrounding light levels might be necessary.
What to do if sections of my Miller Classic auto-lens are not going dark?
If sections of your Miller Welding Accessories auto-lens are not going dark, and distinct lines separate the light and dark areas, stop welding immediately. This may be because the auto-lens may be cracked which can be caused by the impact of dropping the helmet or weld spatter. The auto-lens may need replacement; be aware that most cracked lenses aren't covered by warranty.
Why is the shading inconsistent on my Miller Classic auto-lens?
Inconsistent or lighter auto-lens shading in the dark-state, noticeable on the outside edges and corners of your Miller Welding Accessories is referred to as an angle of view effect. Auto-darkening lenses have an optimum viewing angle of perpendicular or 90 degrees to the surface of the auto-lens. When that angle of view varies in the dark-state, welders may notice slightly lighter areas at the outside edges and the corners of the lens. This is normal and does not represent any health or safety hazard. This effect may also be more noticeable in applications where magnifying lenses are used.
What to do if my Miller Welding Accessories auto lens is not switching and stays light when welding?
If your Miller Welding Accessories auto lens stays light and doesn't darken when welding, stop welding immediately. If you have a variable shade helmet, press the Reset button. For fixed-shade helmets, ensure the lens solar cell is fully charged by placing the helmet in direct sunlight for 20 minutes. If the power is on, check the sensitivity recommendations and adjust the sensitivity. Also, clean the lens cover and sensors of any obstructions and confirm the sensors are facing the arc; angles of 45 degrees or more may prevent the arc light from reaching the sensors.
