Frequently Asked Questions - BY601E Vevor

Why does my BY601E helmet not darken when the arc is struck?

Several possible causes: sensitivity set too low (increase it), front protective lens dirty (clean it), sensors obstructed (check they see the arc), Grind mode selected (switch to Weld or Cut mode), or low battery (replace batteries).

How do I adjust the shade on the Vevor BY601E?

Use the shade control knob (mark 1) located on the helmet. Turn it to select a shade between #9 and #13 in Weld mode, or between #5 and #9 in Cut mode. Refer to the recommended shade chart in the manual for your process and amperage.

What does the red light on the BY601E helmet mean?

The red light is the low battery indicator. It illuminates when approximately 2 to 3 days of battery life remain. Replace the two CR2032 lithium batteries as soon as possible.

How do I change the batteries on the Vevor BY601E helmet?

Open the compartment located in the lower corner of the ADF cartridge. Insert two CR2032 (or equivalent) batteries, ensuring the positive side (+) faces upward (toward the inside of the helmet). Close the compartment.

The filter remains dark after finishing welding, what should I do?

The delay time may be set too high. Turn the delay control knob (mark 6) to the minimum position (about 0.1 second). If the problem persists, the battery may be low: replace the batteries.

Can I use this helmet for grinding?

Yes, turn the mode selector to the 'Grind' position. The lens will automatically set to shade #4. No shade adjustment is possible in this mode.

Which protective lenses can be replaced on the BY601E?

You can replace the front cover lens (transparent) and the inner lens. Never use the ADF without these protections. For the front lens, pry it out of the groove. For the inner lens, gently lift the inner cover, being careful not to damage the battery cable.

How do I clean the auto-darkening cartridge?

Use a soft cloth dampened with soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasive products. Gently wipe the cartridge surface and let it air dry before reuse.

The TEST button does nothing, what should I check?

First check the batteries: if the low battery indicator is on, replace them. Ensure the filter jack is firmly plugged into its port. If the LED still does not light, contact the dealer.

Is this helmet suitable for low-amperage TIG welding?

Yes, the BY601E is rated for TIG from 5 A DC and AC. For low amperages, set the sensitivity to the maximum position so the sensors detect the arc. Adjust the shade according to the chart in the manual.

Arc Welding Hazards

Only qualified persons should install, operate, maintain, and repair the unit.

ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin.

Arc rays from the welding process produce intense visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays that can burn eyes and skin. Sparks fly off from the weld.

• Wear a welding helmet fitted with a proper shade of filter to protect your face and eyes when welding or watching (see ANSI Z49.1 and Z87.1 listed in Safety Standards). Refer to Shade and sensitivity charts.
• Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under your helmet.
• Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash, glare, and sparks; warn others not to watch the arc.
• Wear body protection made from durable, flame-resistant material (leather, heavy cotton, wool). Body protection includes oil-free clothing such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes, and a cap.
• Before welding, adjust the auto-darkening lens sensitivity setting to meet the application.
• Stop welding immediately if the auto-darkening lens does not darken when the arc is struck. See the Owner's Manual for more information.

WELDING HELMETS do not provide unlimited eye, ear, and face protection.

Arc rays from the welding process produce intense visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays that can burn eyes and skin. Sparks fly off from the weld.

• Use impact resistant safety spectacles or goggles and ear protection at all times when using this welding helmet.
• Do not use this helmet while working with or around explosives or corrosive liquids.
• Do not weld in the overhead position while using this helmet.
• Inspect the auto-lens frequently. Immediately replace any scratched, cracked, or pitted cover lenses or auto-lenses.

• NOISE can damage hearing.
• Noise from some processes or equipment can damage hearing.
• Wear approved ear protection if noise level is high.

READ INSTRUCTIONS.

Read and follow all labels and the Owner's Manual carefully before installing, operating, or servicing unit. Read the safety information at the beginning of the manual and in each section.

- Use only genuine replacement parts from the manufacturer.

- Perform maintenance and service according to the Owner's Manuals, industry standards, and national, state, and local codes.

FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous.

Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathing these fumes and gases can be hazardous to your health.

• Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes.
• If inside, ventilate the area and/or use local forced ventilation at the arc to remove welding fumes and gases. The recommended way to determine adequate ventilation is to sample for the composition and quantity of fumes and gases to which personnel are exposed.
• If ventilation is poor, wear an approved air-supplied respirator.
• Read and understand the Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and the manufacturer instructions for adhesives, coatings, cleaners, consumables, coolants, degreasers, fluxes, and metals.
• Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while wearing an air-supplied respirator. Always have a trained watch person nearby. Welding fumes and gases can displace air and lower the oxygen level causing injury or death. Be sure the breathing air is safe.
• Do not weld in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying operations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with vapors to form highly toxic irritating gases.
• Do not weld on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium plate steel, unless the coating is removed from the weld area, the area is well ventilated, and while wearing an air-supplied respirator. The coatings and any metals containing these elements can give off toxic fumes if welded.

Proposition 65 Warnings

Welding or cutting equipment produces fumes or gases which contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects and, some cases, cancer. (California Health & Safety Code Section 25249.5

2. Low Battery Indicator The low battery indicator lights when 2-3 days of battery life remain. If battery power is low, replace with CR2030 lithium batteries.

Lens Delay Control

1 Lens Delay Control

The lens delay control is used to adjust the time for the lens to switch to the clear state after welding.

The delay is particularly useful in eliminating bright after-rays present in higher amperage applications where the molten puddle remains bright momentarily after welding. Lens delay adjusts from min (0.10 second) to max (1.0 second).

Mode Control

1 Weld Mode

Used for most welding applications. In this mode the lens

turns on when it optically senses a welding arc. Adjust shade, sensitivity, and delay settings as needed.

2 Cut Mode

Used for cutting applications. In this mode the lens turns on when it optically senses a cutting arc. Adjust shade, sensitivity, and delay settings as needed.

3 Grind Mode

Used for metal grinding applications. In this mode the lens is fixed at shade. No lens adjustments are possible.

Sensitivity Control

Press button “SENSITIVITY” it is selected according to welding process and environmental light, the defaulted sensitivity is medium.

1. Select minimum: Suitable for high amperage welding or welding in bright environmental light (For example, there is disturbing light from other welder vicinity)
2. Select maximum: Suitable for low amperage welding, using in pool light conditions (For

example. Pipe welding where part of the arc is obscured from view) and wh welding arc becomes stable (For example. TIG welding).

Variable Shade Control

1 Variable Shade Control

Use the control to adjust the lens shade in the darkened state. Use the table below to select proper shade control setting based on your welding process.
