Automatic Filter Welding Mask Top quality True colour welding helmet - 1.1.1.2 Optical Quality Shades DIN 5 to DIN 13 With XL viewing area - 100 x 93mm

For many of the customers that visit our showroom / trade counter one of the most expressed problems for the customer is that they are not able to see what they are welding, which of course has a direct impact on the quality of their welding.  The reason the customer cannot see what he / she is welding is generally due to the inadequacies of their old welding mask along with inferior ADF lens technology.
The TC180 & TC5 true colour welding masks from Noz-Alls change all that by providing you with ultra clear optics to the very highest standards along with the largest viewing area making it easier and safer to work and weld, because you really can see what you are welding.  Our customers are amazed, the difference is clearly visible.

When you are looking for a god quality true colour welding mask with an XL viewing area then with the TC5 you have certainly found it. The viewing area on this mask is 100 x 93mm. Our customers who use this mask love it and have commented on just how clear the lens really is. 
Something we put on the box is that this mask is 'proper true colour' rather than the true colour that other distributors are passing off as true colour. 

This mask will work on shades 5 right through to 13 with a light state of shade 4 for grinding work. The 4 independent arc sensors mean that working in more difficult positions is still going to give a reliable darkening response from your weld sparks. Combined with a quality designed headband which has plenty of adjustment this mask just gets better and better. 

Suitable to weld from 2 Amps in TIG. 

Does it need to get any better? Of course it does. Which is why every mask comes with a two year warranty and a welding helmet bag with front pocket to help keep your mask in top condition and conserve battery life.

True Colour is the latest advancement in welding lens technology giving a closer colour to what the naked eye sees. Coupled with the standard analogue setup on the top of the shell there is no fiddly button pressing inside of the mask while wearing gloves. Put simply - just set and weld. 

The ADF lens allows the use of a dioptre magnification lens to be slid into place if like me you normally wear glasses the close up dioptre lens allows you to see the weld bead clearly. 
Finally there are two replaceable batteries and two solar panels to ensure that your mask reacts as quick as you can expect. 0.0001 of a second in fact. Which is about 100 times quicker than the blink of an eye.

TC5 True colour ADF Battery Consumption   -  2 off CR2032  - Lithium Ion – 3V
The TC5 ADF welding mask has 1 ultra large automatic darkening filter which requires power to function.
Your TC5 has been designed with four power consumption levels to be as efficient as possible:-

1. Hibernation -  minimal battery consumption
2. Awake / Auto OFF – moderate battery consumption
3. Ready –  normal battery consumption – approximately double the power drain of the “Awake” mode - when ADF has been inactive for 15 - 30 minutes the mask returns to auto off – awake mode
4. Working  - The ADF lens is fully powered in the “Dark” working condition

Note: In the “Working” state the battery drain will be high should the ADF move to the dark condition without there being an arc present to power the AD filter – the dark filter working condition uses the largest amount of power – normally relying on the two front solar panels to provide the power.

Operation Notes
When you have stopped using your TC5 Welding mask - switch the mask to "Grind" mode as this will help to reduce unwanted battery consumption.

Hibernation state is entered when the mask is kept in the dark – mask does not react at this level of readiness.  When not in use always try to keep the mask in “Hibernation” mode.

1. Put your mask in the mask bag provided - it is dark plus offers protection from scratches
2. Also store your mask in a dark cupboard where there will be no environmental light exposure

Awake state – Your mask moves in to the “awake state” when environmental light has been detected, this is so that your mask is ready to move to either the Ready state or straight into the Working state condition.  With a large change in the light level being sensed the mask immediately moves to “Working” state.

Ready state – Light activity is detected which then provides the fastest ADF reaction time and is ready for arc welding at any point.  The Ready state condition is maintained for a period of 15 to 30 minutes since it was last activated by a bright light source, this allows the mask to function correctly even in very dark conditions without giving false reaction / flashes.

Working state – Any bright light but typically a welding arc will be sufficient produce the Dark Filter Condition – generally the filter shade level that you have chosen the dark filter condition uses the maximum amount of power – under normal working conditions the two solar panels at the front of your TC5 absorb the light and generate the power for maintaining the dark filter condition in the Working state.

Limited Use and Correct Storage for the TC5
When you are not using your welding mask please do not leave your TC5 out on a bench and especially not close to or in view of a window, this is because the mask will sense changes in light which will maintain the mask in Awake, Ready or even Working mode.  The light through a window moving between cloud to bright sunlight can be sufficient to make the ADF lenses transition to the working “Dark Condition” this produces high battery drain when there is no arc light to generate the power.
Please place your TC5 mask in the mask bag provided and preferably place your mask in a closed and dark cupboard where your mask will remain in hibernation mode and use the least amount of battery power
When you believe you will not use your mask for a long period and the option of placing in the dark is not possible you may choose to open the battery pod and remove the batteries, place the batteries in a clean bag where they cannot be shorted.  This will prevent the batteries from being drained while not in use.
