New Speedglas lens

[super noob]

Never stuck in light state but its been stuck in dark when in those settings mentioned.....

Ah right, yeah mine before i sent it back was doing both. New one has only got stuck in dark once today but had to take batterys out to reset it. Not good for a £300 mask is it

 

[super noob]

no, I'd definitely expect better

as I said I may ask to change it if possible

This is starting to tell a story that perhaps there are some un ironed wrinkles that they need to sort.
Supernoob Id be doing exactly what you said and drop to the 9100XX. we know that one has been on the go a while and proven in the field.

Rang up to check, 3-5 with 13 shade should only be used for low amp tig apparently.....makes sense

Thats not what the manual says.

SENSITIVITY
Te sensitivity setting of the weld arc detection system can be adjusters to accommodate a variety of welding methods and workplace conditions.

Position 1: Least sensitive setting. Used if there is interference from other welders arcs in the vicinity.

Position 2: Normal Position. Used for most types of welding indoors and outdoors.

Position 3:Position for welding with low current or stable welding arcs (e.g. TIG Welding)

Position 4: Suitable for very low current welding.

Position 5: Most sensitive setting. Used for tig welding where part of the arc is obscured from view.

Position 2 was not sensitive enough for me the other day. Will have to have a play later.

Does anyone know if the problems have been sorted on these lids yet?

I am tempted with one once sorted.

 

[super noob]

mines been fine, andy at rapid explained the higher settings are for indoor low light conditions so if you're in the sun or outside all the time like I am its far too sensitive on those
