Filter darkens ultra-fast as welding arc strikes
For arc welding and other processes, an eyesight protection filter takes 1/12,000s - one of the fastest switching speeds available for welder safety - to switch from clear to dark.
The welder can externally adjust the darkness shade between shades 9-13.
There are also two large adjustment control knobs on the rear, which steplessly adjust the sensitivity.
They also adjust the delay time between 0.2- 0.9s, as in certain welding applications it is necessary to vary the delay to clear after the arc has been extinguished.
The product has clear user graphics as well as a stylish external shade adjustment knob.
Features of Huntsman filters are their reliability and quality.
In this filter, when the arc is struck, it takes less than 0.5 millisec to switch from clear shade 4 to dark giving the welder all-round flexibility ensuring eye safety for a wide range of luminescent arc applications.
The operating temperature range is from -5 deg C (23 deg F) up to +55 deg C (131 deg F).
