Frequently Asked Questions - LCD Gysmatic FlipFlap Goggle 3 GYS

How to change the batteries of the GYSMATIC FLIP-FLAP GOGGLE 3 welding mask?

Use the battery extractor provided to remove the used battery. Replace it with a new CR2032 battery (2 batteries). Turn the knob at the top of the helmet counterclockwise to open the compartment. It is recommended to replace the batteries once a year.

How to adjust the sensitivity of the auto-darkening filter?

Press the '+' button (SENS) to increase sensitivity, or '-' to decrease it. A long press on '+' activates/deactivates the anti-glare interference function. A long press on '-' activates/deactivates automatic sensitivity (display AUTO). For low-amp TIG welding, set sensitivity to level 5; for most processes, level 3.

What to do if the filter remains constantly dark even without an arc?

Check that the sensors are not obstructed by dust and clean them if necessary. Reduce the sensitivity by pressing the '-' button (SENS). If the environment is very bright, reduce ambient brightness. Make sure Cut mode is not accidentally activated.

Which welding processes are compatible with this mask?

This mask is compatible with the following processes: MMA (stick welding), TIG (current >2 A), MIG and grinding (Grind). It is forbidden for oxyacetylene, laser, or gas welding.

How to clean and maintain the mask?

Clean the opto-electronic filter with a clean cotton cloth or a special lens cloth. For the shell, use a neutral detergent-disinfectant, never solvent. Clean and replace the protective screens regularly. Check that the sensors and solar cell are not obstructed.

How to replace the protective screens?

Unlock the snap-lock joint of the outer screen, press and remove it. Replace the screen and lock the joint. For the inner screen, insert a finger into the semicircular hole and remove it. Remove the protective film from the new screen, then insert it by slightly bending it to slide into the side slots.

What adjustment functions are available on the mask?

The mask has three adjustment zones: SENS (sensitivity), SHADE (shade), DELAY (return time). Each zone has '+' and '-' buttons to adjust, and long presses activate advanced functions: automatic sensitivity, Cut/Weld mode, progressive delay, etc. Simultaneously pressing both buttons of a zone activates the TEST function.

What is the recommended lifespan of the mask?

The recommended service life is 5 years. It depends on factors such as type of use, cleaning frequency, storage conditions, and general maintenance. Regularly check the condition of the mask.

The filter flickers or switches uncontrollably during welding. What to do?

Check that the sensors are properly oriented towards the welding arc and without obstruction. Set the sensitivity to a lower level to avoid false triggering. If the problem persists, clean the sensors.

Where to find spare parts for this mask?

Available spare parts are: outer protective screen, filter, inner protective screen, headgear, and anti-perspirant headband (ref. 76001). Consult the manufacturer GYS website or an authorized dealer.

This user's manual includes information on the operation of the equipment and the precautions to be followed for the user's safety. Please read it carefully before first use and keep it in a safe place for future reference. These instructions must be read and understood before any operation. Any modification or maintenance not indicated in the manual must not be undertaken. Any damage to persons or property caused by use not in accordance with the instructions in this manual shall not be borne by the manufacturer. In the event of a problem or uncertainty, consult a qualified person to handle the product correctly.

Use the welding helmet only for eye and face protection against harmful ultra violet and infrared radiation, sparks and spatter from welding.

Never look directly at welding arcs without eye protection when the arc is initiated. Failure to do so may cause painful inflammation of the cornea and potentially irreversible damage to the lens which may result in cataracts.

Look out! Danger of injury if a person wearing a mask and goggles is hit by particles thrown at high speed.

The mask, filter and shields do not guarantee unlimited protection against major shocks or impacts, explosive mechanisms or corrosive liquids. Avoid welding or cutting in these severe environments.

Do not weld or cut above his head with this mask.

Move his face away from the smoky area. Use forced ventilation or local exhaust to remove smoke.

Oxyacetylene, laser or gas welding and cutting is not permitted with this mask.

Before each use :

• Carefully inspect the mask and its UV/IR filter.
• Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
• Replace filter lenses or face shields if they are cracked or scratched to prevent damage to the user's eyes.

The headband can potentially cause allergies in sensitive individuals.

The operating temperatures of the optoelectronic filter are from -5^ to +55^ .

The opto-electronic filter in the mask is not waterproof and will not function properly if it has been in contact with water.

The welding mask must be moved carefully to avoid damage to the filter, guards and/or protective shell.

Maintenance :

- Do not place heavy objects or tools on or in the facepiece to avoid damage to the filter or face shields.

Mask storage temperatures range from -10°C to +60°C.

• Clean the Optoelectronic Filter with a clean cotton or special lens cloth.
• Regularly clean and change the guard screens.
• Clean the inside and outside of the mask with a neutral detergent-disinfectant. Do not use solvents.
• Make sure that the sensors and cell are not obstructed by dust or debris.
• We recommend using the mask and visors for 5 years. The length of use depends on various factors such as type of use, cleaning, storage and maintenance.

BEFORE WELDING

-Check that the welding helmet is in good condition and headband adjustment.
-Check whether the front cover lens, the front frame and filter are inserted and fixed in place. In case of anomalie, please proceed to its reconditioning.
-Make sure that the sensors and the cell are not obstructed by dust or debris.
-Make sure that the protection films on both screens are removed.
-Check that the protection level matches your welding processes. Please refer to the following chart to help your choice (cf. welding process board)

The entire filters moves up automatically (F).

SYMPTOMS AND SOLUTIONS

The optoelectronic filter does not work.	Activate the solar charge by exposing the cell to the light between 20 to 30 minutes - Check and change battery if necessary.
	Check that the range 4-8 or 8-13 with the «WELD» button.
Filter stays dark after the weld arc is extinguished or when no arc is present.	Check and clean detectors if needed.Adjust sensitivity knob to the lower position (level 1). If the welding place is extremely bright, it is recommended to reduce light level.
Uncontrolled and sparkling switching: The filter lightens and darkens when welding.	Check arc sensors are not blocked from direct access to the arc light. Set the sensitivity level to 5.
Side of the filter is lighter than the center of viewing area.	It is a natural feature of LCD's, this symptom is not dangerous for the eyes. However for a maximum comfort, try to keep an view angle at around 90^ .
