Instruction Guide
MAINTENANCE
REPLACEMENT OF FRONT COVER LENS
• Remove the front cover lens by pulling outwards at the base of the
lens using the finger slot provided.
• Make sure the protective films are removed from the new cover lens.
• Place the new cover lens in the recess at the front of the helmet.
• Locate the cover lens under the 2 lugs at the left of the cartridge and
then flex the lens so that it can be inserted under the lugs on the right
hand side of the cartridge.
NOTE - Do not use the helmet without the cover lens in place.
REPLACEMENT OF INNER COVER LENS
• The welding inner cover lens is removed by pulling out the top edge.
• The new inner cover lens is assembled after the protective film is
removed. Locate one of the sides by inserting the edge under the
hook at the side and bend the lens in the middle part and locate the
lens under the hook at the other side.
REPLACEMENT OF WELDING FILTER
• Prise off the shade adjusting knob from the outside of the helmet and
unscrew the plastic locking nut below.
•From inside the helmet push inwards the two barbs on the left side of
the helmet to release them and push the cartridge forwards gently.
• The cartridge can now be removed from the front of the helmet.
FAULTFINDING
IRREGULAR DARKENING
• Headband has been set unevenly so the distance between the eyes
and the lens is different from the left to the right.
AUTO DARKENING FILTER DOES NOT DARKEN OR FLICKERS
•Front cover lens is soiled, clean or replace
• Photo sensors are dirty, wipe clean with a soft lint-free cloth.
• Welding current is too low, select the slow position on the filter and
ensure the view of the weld is unobstructed.
• Change to high sensitivity.
POOR VISION
• Ensure the cover lens and the filter cartridge are clean.
• Ensure the shade number is correct and adjust accordingly.
• Ensure ambient light is not too low.

PARTS LIST

XR914 Light Reactive Welding Helmet
GENERAL INFORMATION
This XR914 Light Reactive Helmet will not protect against severe
impact hazards, such as fractured grinding wheels or abrasive discs,
explosive devices or corrosive liquids. Machine guards or eye splash
protection must be used when these hazards are present.
All light reactive welding filters are for use in Arc welding or cutting
applications. The unit is suitable for all Arc welding processes such as
MIG, MAG, TIG, SMAW, Plasma Arc, and Carbon Arc.
Use this helmet only for face and eye protection against harmful rays,
sparks and spatter from welding and cutting.
The XR914 Light Reactive Helmet is not suitable for “overhead”
welding applications, Laser welding or Laser cutting applications.
In the event of electronic failure, the welder remains protected against
UV and IR radiation according to Shade 16.
The light reactive welding filter should always be used with original
inner and outer cover lenses.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any modifications to the
welding filter or the use of the filter in any other manufacturer’s helmet.
Protection can be seriously impaired if unapproved modifications are
made.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
DO
Ensure the front cover lens is fitted before use and remove protective
film.
Ensure that the lens is clean and there is no dirt or spatter covering the
2 sensors at the front of the filter cartridge.
Inspect all parts for signs of wear or damage. Any scratched or
cracked parts should be replaced prior to use.
DON’T
Never place the helmet on a hot surface.
Never open or tamper with the filter cartridge.
OPERATION
1. ADJUST THE WELDING HELMET ACCORDING TO YOUR
INDIVIDUAL REQUIREMENTS
The headband should be adjusted both in diameter and height. The angle
between face and helmet should also be adjusted and is recommended
to be 10º - 12º.
2. ON/OFF
The solar unit automatically switches on when exposed to light.
3. SELECT THE SHADE NUMBER
Five different shade numbers, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13, are available in the
dark state.
The shade number can be selected by turning the shade on the side of
the helmet
The set shade is indicated by the arrow on the switch.
4. SELECT DELAY TIME
By moving the selector switch on the rear of the cartridge the time taken
for the lens to lighten after welding can be altered.
FAST
The lens will lighten after welding in 0.25 to 0.35 second dependant
upon ambient temperature and shade set. This setting is ideal for tack
welding or production welding with short welds.
SLOW
The lens will lighten in 0.6 to 0.8 seconds dependant upon the
ambient temperature and set shade. This setting is ideal for welding at
high amperages where there is an after glow from the weld.
5. SELECT SENSITIVITY
By moving the selector switch on the rear of the cartridge the sensitivity
to ambient light changes can be altered.
LOW
Suitable for high amperage welding and welding in bright sunlit
conditions.
HIGH
Suitable for low amperage welding and use in poor light conditions.
Suitable for use with steady arc process such as Tig welding.
