Maintenance And Cleaning; Warranty - BALDER V913 DS ADC Bedienungsanleitung

GRAND GDS only): Most welding applications can be performed with welding light sensitivity
set to maximum. The maximum sensitivity level is appropriate for low welding current work, TIG,
or special applications. The welding light sensitivity has to be reduced only in some specific sur-
rounding lighting conditions in order to avoid unwanted triggering. As a simple rule for optimum
performance, it is recommended to set sensitivity to the maximum at the beginning and then
gradually reduce it, until the filter reacts only to the welding light flashes and without annoying
spurious triggering due to ambient light conditions (direct sun, intensive artificial light, neighbor-
ing welder's arcs etc.).
Opening time delay adjustment (models V913 DS ADC, V913 ES ADC, V613 GDS ADC, 613
XL ADC plus, POWER DS, POWER ES, POWER GDS, GRAND DS, GRAND ES, GRAND GDS
only): The opening time delay can be adjusted from 0.1 to 1.0 seconds. It is recommended to use
a shorter delay with spot welding applications and a longer delay with applications using higher
currents and longer welding intervals. Longer delay can also be used for low current TIG welding
in order to prevent the filter opening when the light path to the sensors is temporarily obstructed
by a hand, torch, etc.
Function welding/grinding (models V613 GDS ADC, 613 XL ADC plus, Power GDS, Grand GDS
only): For these filters, two modes of operation can be selected: welding or grinding. By selecting
the position »Grind«, the filter switches off and it will not be triggered by the sparks generated dur-
ing grinding. Before restarting welding work, the knob should be set back to the »Weld« position.
STORAGE
When not in use the filter should be stored in a dry place within the temperature range of -20°C to
+65°C. Prolonged exposure to temperatures above 45°C may decrease the battery lifetime of the
autodarkening welding filter. It is recommended to keep the solar cells of the autodarkening weld-
ing filter in the dark or not exposed to light during storage in order to maintain power down mode.
This can be achieved by simply placing the filter face down on the storage shelf.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

It is always necessary to keep the solar cells and the light sensors of the autodarkening welding
filter free of dust and spatters: cleaning can be done with a soft tissue or a cloth soaked in mild
detergent (or alcohol). Never use aggressive solvents such as acetone. BALDER filters should
always be protected from both sides by protection screens (polycarbonate or CR39), which
should also be only cleaned with a soft tissue or cloth. If protection screens are in any way dam-
aged, they must be immediately replaced.

WARRANTY

The warranty period of BALDER products is three years. Failure to follow these instructions may
invalidates the warranty. BALDER does not accept responsibility for any problems, which may
arise from applications other than welding.
