5.1 Auto-Darkening Filter (ADF) Operation
The 9100XXi ADF features 3M Speedglas Natural Color Technology, providing a clearer, brighter, and more realistic view. This enhances weld puddle control and allows for better recognition of colors and contrasts.
- ڇانو سيٽنگون: User-selectable dark shades 5, 8, 9 through 13. The light state is shade 3.
- Viewايريا ايريا: The ADF provides a viewing area of 72 mm x 107 mm (2.8 inches high x 4.2 inches wide).
- Arc Detection: Three arc detection sensors activate the ADF quickly after striking an arc. The filter switches from light to dark in approximately 0.1 milliseconds (1/10,000 of a second).
- دير فنڪشن: After welding, the filter automatically returns to light shade 3 with a delay of approximately 40-250 milliseconds, allowing for immediate inspection of the weld pool.

5.2 Grinding Mode
The 3M Speedglas Silver Front Panel 9100XXi features external controls for quick access to grinding mode. This allows you to switch between welding and shade 3 grinding mode without removing your gloves or the helmet.
5.3 Memory Modes
The helmet includes two memory modes, allowing you to save and quickly access two different sets of welding parameters. Each memory mode can store individual settings for dark shade, light-to-dark switching sensitivity, and dark-to-light delay.
5.4 Auto-On Technology
The 'Grab and Go' feature automatically turns the welding filter on to your most recently used welding setting when the helmet is picked up. To conserve battery life, the helmet automatically shuts down after a period of inactivity.
5.5 Peripheral Vision (Side Windows)
The helmet is equipped with side windows (shade 5 filters) that expand your field of vision. This feature helps increase awareness of your surroundings, making potential hazards such as obstacles and other workers more visible.
