Welding Icons/GuidesWelding Travel Angle Indicators (right top screen in the Helmet)

Based on the designated WPS, the Helmet will indicate if the travel angle is too far right, too far left or at the correct travel angle. The travel angle indicators’ (right arrow/left angle) size will increase when the weld moves farther away from acceptable welding travel angle and decrease as the weld moves toward the acceptable WPS standards. Correct travel angle will show up as an equals sign. This will show up when the optimal acceptable WPS standard is reached.

Welding Work Angle Indicators (left top screen in helmet)

Based on the designated WPS, the Helmet will indicate if the work angle is too high, too low, or at the correct work angle. The work angle indicators’ (up arrow/down arrow) size will increase when the weld moves farther away from acceptable welding work angle and decrease as the weld moves toward the acceptable WPS standards. Correct welding work angle will show up as an equals sign. This will show up when the optimal acceptable WPS standard is reached.

Welding Speed Indicators (left bottom screen in helmet)

Based on the designated WPS, the Helmet will indicate if the welding speed is going too fast, too slow, or at the correct welding speed based on the welding guide. The speed indicators’ (plus/minus signs) size will increase when the weld moves farther away from acceptable welding speed and decrease as the weld moves toward acceptable WPS standards. Correct welding speed will show up as an equals sign. This will show up when the optimal acceptable WPS standard is reached.

Speed Sensor (setup)There are three levels of Speed Sensor: Bind, Test Channels and Identify. Read the information below for the steps and purpose of each level.

Bind Each system goes through a binding process when it leaves the factory floor. Binding is when the Helmet of the guideWELD LIVE system is associated with the Speed Sensor. The purpose of doing this is to have that Speed Sensor and Helmet communicate data to one another. The pieces are not connected by cabling; the unit sends radio waves from the Speed Sensor to the Helmet to tell the user what their speed is during an actual weld. Each Helmet and Speed Sensor must bind to be able to communicate and send data from Speed Sensor to Helmet.

All Speed Sensor and Helmets can be re-bound to another Helmet and/or Speed Sensor.

Bind Instructions:1. Turn on Helmet and Speed Sensor 2. Go to the Main Menu, select Setup and press the menu select button3. Choose Bind. Press the menu select button4. Take a pointed object (paper clip point, screw driver tip) and press the bind button for

two seconds

5. View the lower right helmet screen. After binding the screen will display the new Speed Sensor serial number

NOTE: It is recommended to store the Helmet and Speed Sensor together or mark them to reduce the need to bind in the future.

NOTE: The bind button is a small recessed button located on the Speed Sensor next to the power button. The Speed Sensor “arc off” guidance lights light up and start to scroll. This may take up to two minutes for it to correctly bind.

Speed Sensor (setup continued)

Test Channels Each system is set to a specific channel for the radio waves to communicate from the Speed Sensor to the Helmet. Setting the channel selection is done on the factory floor. The Speed Sensor and Helmet are not connected by any cabling; the unit sends radio waves from the Speed Sensor to the Helmet to tell the user what their speed is during an actual weld. There are 16 available channels. Each system is preset to a specific channel before it leaves the factory. For best results, different channels should be used for each Helmet.

All Speed Sensors and Helmets can be changed to a different channel, if needed, for optimal performance and communication.

Channel Selection Instructions:1. Turn on Helmet and Speed Sensor 2. Go to the Main Menu, select Setup and press menu select button3. Choose Test Channels. Press the menu select button

4. View the lower right screen. Choose the most optimal channel based on the lower right screen bar graph; a longer bar and green color represent the best channels to choose from

Identity Identity is used to confirm that the Helmet is working with the correct speed sensor.

Identity Instructions:1. Turn on Helmet and Speed Sensor 2. Go to the Main Menu, select Setup Level and press the menu select button3. Select Identity and press the menu select button. A signal will be sent to the speed board4. Look for the arc off lights to blink. This indicates the Helmet and Speed Sensor have

identified each other as working together

NOTE: On the left lower screen in the Helmet, there will be a bar graph of every channel that is available. Each bar will show the color of green, yellow or red. Green bars indicate the clearest channels. Yellow bars indicate usable channels but far less clear. Red bars indicate channels that are not good to use.

NOTE: Depending on the number of systems, no more than four Helmets should be set to the same channel. This could bog down the communication channel, causing delays from the speed sensor to the Helmet.

16 RealCareer® Welding Solutions – guideWELD® LIVE real welding guidance system

Diagnostics (setup)Diagnostics is used for troubleshooting purposes. There are four levels of diagnostics: Turn Logging On/Off, Helmet, Angle Sensor and Speed Sensor. Read the information below for the purpose of each level. These processes should only be done in a troubleshooting interaction.

Turn Logging On/Off The SD card creates a log after each weld to show how the product functioned during that weld. The SD card can hold up to five logs at one time. Once past five, the oldest log will be removed. Logs are used by Realityworks’ Product Support team for troubleshooting.

• If menu says “Turn Logging On” then Logging is currently off• If menu says “Turn Logging Off” then Logging is currently on• Turning the Logging feature on only affects future welds

Helmet Diagnostic testing on Helmet tests the screen graphics for display issues.

Select Helmet and the screens will scroll through the test displaying white on black, black on white, red and yellow indicators for Travel Angle, Work Angle and Speed, white to black, and multi color.

19RealCareer® Welding Solutions – guideWELD® LIVE real welding guidance system

Precision Levels (setup)Precision Level is the tolerance that is allowed for Work Angle, Travel Angle and Speed to be in comparison with the WPS. For example, if Work Angle is 45 degrees, precision level would allow a 45-degree mark miss by 2-3 degrees (42 degrees on the low end, 48 degrees on the high end) and still be acceptable for the guidance system.

The Precision Levels mode is the area where a user can increase or decrease the precision of the WPS parameters for the guidance system within the Helmet. All systems are preset at level 2. See the chart below for exact degrees and speed info.

• Level 1 is a 3-degree up/down variable for Work & Travel Angle and 1.5-inch increase in Travel Speed

• Level 2 is a 5-degree up/down variable for Work & Travel Angle and 3-inch increase in Travel Speed

• Level 3 is a 7-degree up/down variable for Work & Travel Angle and 3-inch increase/decrease in Travel Speed

• Level 4 is a 10-degree up/down variable for Work & Travel Angle and 4-inch increase/decrease in Travel Speed

Troubleshooting (continued)

Helmet Angle Sensor Calibration The Angle Sensor will need to be calibrated before each weld.

1. If calibration screen 1 appears inside the Work Angle (right top screen) and Travel Angle (left top screen) screens, the Angle Sensor must be recalibrated (see calibration process)

NOTE: Once Calibration has been completed, the calibration will stay for up to three minutes. After three minutes, the guidance technology accuracy may start to drift. This drift may cause inaccuracies in the welding guidance system and only through recalibration of the angle sensor will these inaccuracies be resolved.

23RealCareer® Welding Solutions – guideWELD® LIVE real welding guidance system

TroubleshootingAngle Sensor If the connection between the Helmet and the Angle Sensor is not communicating, it may be because of the Angle Sensor not being connected to the Helmet.

1. “Connect Hand Sensor” will display in the upper right and left screens2. The Hand Sensor status icon in the lower right screen will be grayed out3. Once the Hand Sensor is connected and communicating with the Helmet, the status icon

will turn green (see the right icon below)

NOTE: Due to the cabling, if the Angle Sensor male cable is connected to the female of the Helmet too quickly, it may not join properly. Due to this issue, a message in the Helmet appears indicating a reconnect for the Angle Sensor. There is a two-click connection that should take place, and this message will disappear when done correctly.
