FEATURES
The RWX6000 Welding Helmet is equipped with an automatic darkening filter. The filter is transparent
before welding so that the operator may observe the work surface clearly. When striking the arc, the
filter darkens automatically immediately. When the arc goes out, the filter will become transparent
again. The switching time from light to dark is 0.08 ms. The switching time from dark to light may be
set up within 0.1-0.9 second.
The helmet is equipped with a continuous darkness-adjusting unit so that the operator may select an
arbitrary dark shade number ranging from 5-9 or 9-13. The helmet also features 3 memory states to
save desired settings.
The RWX6000 Welding Helmet gives the operator permanent complete protection against UV/IR,
even in the transparent state. The UV/IR protection level is up to DIN15. The power is provided by
solar cells and a replaceable battery.
The helmet is equipped with four photosensors to sense arc light. In addition, the helmet contains an
outer protection shell made of high polymer materials. The plate is wear-resistant, thermostable, and
has no dregs-sticking, giving a very long service life.
The RWX6000 Welding Helmet is a TRUE COLOUR VIEW welding helmet. With advanced TRUE
COLOUR VIEW technology, the users can weld with improved clarity due to new Blue Optical Coating
technology, grind with precision while in grind mode and finally see the job performance in the light
state in the full spectrum of colours. There is now no need to remove the helmet to see clearly!

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
VARIABLE SHADE CONTROL
• If the Shade is in the range of 5-9, press WELD/GRIND button (13) repeatedly until both Icon 2 and
Icon 4 appears on the screen. Then press SHADE button (16) repeatedly until the desired Shade
shown in Icon 8.
• If the Shade is in the range of 9-13, press WELD/GRIND button (13) repeatedly until both Icon 2 and
Icon 5 appears on the screen. Then press SHADE button (16) repeatedly until the desired Shade
shown in Icon 8.
Note:
• Choose an optimum Shade number for the required welding process or application.
• If this lens does not darken when striking arc, stop welding immediately and check the helmet
is in Weld Mode and not Grind Mode. If the issue persists, contact your local UNIMIG Service
Department.
SENSITIVITY CONTROL
The responsiveness to dierent light levels in various welding processes can be adjusted in the
range 1-5(from low to high).
Press the SENSITIVITY button (15) twice to start the setting, Icon 6 will flash on the screen (from 1 to
5). Repeatedly press the SENSITIVITY button until the desired level shown in Icon 6.
• Turn to 1 (low): The photosensitivity changes to be lower.
– Suitable for high amperage welding and welding in bright light conditions (lamp light or sunlight).
• Turn to 5 (high): The photosensitivity changes to be higher.
– Suitable for low amperage welding and using in poor light conditions.
– Suitable for use with steady arc process such as TIG welding.
– Under normal use, a higher sensitivity setting is recommended.
DELAY CONTROL
The length of time delay for the ADF to return to the light state after welding can be adjusted in the
range 1-5 (for 0.1-0.9s). The time delay is for protection of the welder’s eyes from strong residual rays
after welding.

• Turn to 1 (0.1s): The time the ADF takes to lighten after welding becomes shorter. The shortest time
is about 0.1s depending on the welding point temperature and shade setting. This setting is ideal
for track welding or production welding with short welds.
• Turn to 5 (0.9s): The time the ADF takes to lighten after welding becomes longer. The longest time
is about 0.9s depending on the welding point temperature and shade setting. This setting is ideal
for welding at high amperage where there is an afterglow from the weld.
GRIND SELECTION
Press WELD/GRIND button (13) repeatedly until Icon 3 appears on the screen and the red light on the
button flashes. Additionally, Icon 8 will show shade 4.
Note: Do not weld in the Grind mode, the ADF will not darken.
MEMORY SETTING
The three most frequently used settings can be stored and reactivated easily by using the 3 MEMORY
buttons (12) on the right side of the screen.
Upon use of this helmet, the last ADF settings will be stored automatically (stored about 5 minutes
after). The next time when you start to weld, the last settings will be automatically re-activated.
• If you want to store a complete welding setting, press and hold one of the memory buttons and
release when the Icon 9 stops flashing.
• To activate the stored memory, press the memory button.
Note: Only in welding mode you can activate the memory. Change to welding mode if you are
currently using the grinding function.
HEADGEAR ADJUSTMENTS
The harness can be adjusted for better comfort during operation. The Headband Adjustment Button
(23) adjusts the size of the headband. The Segmental Positioning Plate (24) adjusts the viewing
angle. The Headband Tightness Knob (19) adjusts the tightness of the headband.
BATTERY INDICATOR
Icon 1 indicates battery status. Replace the battery when it is low; otherwise, the ADF switching time
will become slower, and shade accuracy will be compromised.
POWER SUPPLY AND REPLACING THE BATTERY
The power of the auto-darkening helmet is provided by solar cells and a CR2450 lithium battery. To
change the battery, open the Battery holder (8) at the side of the ADF and replace the battery (9).

• There is a liquid crystal-valve in the filter, although it has inner and outer protection plate, it is
important to avoid heavy knocks to the helmet.
• The outer protective shell of the helmet should be periodically inspected and cleaned. In the case
of a break, crack, pitting or other damage, the helmet shell must be replaced.
• To operate more eciently and safely, please select the correct dark shade number.
• The arc light must be visible completely by the sensor. If not, the filter will be transparent or
unstable in darkness.
• Please use the automatic filter at a temperature between -10°C-65°C (14°F-149°F )
• Do not disassemble the filter. If any problems arise, please contact your local UNIMIG service

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM SOLUTION
The ADF does not darken when welding
• Stop welding or cutting immediately.
• Make sure the sensors are facing the arc
and there are no obstructions.
• Check the mode is on WELD, not GRIND.
• Review sensitivity recommendations and
adjust sensitivity if possible.
• Replace the battery if necessary.
The ADF stays dark after welding or there is no arc
present
• Adjust the sensitivity to a lower level.
• If the work-site is too bright, it is recommended
to reduce the surrounding light level.
The ADF switches during the welding
• Increase the sensitivity if possible.
• Make sure the sensors are facing the arc
and there are no obstructions.
• Increase Delay 0.1 − 0.3 seconds may also
reduce switching.
Inconsistent shade number on the corner of ADF
• It is a natural feature and will not be
dangerous for the eyes.
• To get maximum comfort, try to keep a view
angle at around 90°.
