5.1 Auto-Darkening Filter (ADF) Features
The G5-02 helmet features a curved ADF with several advanced functionalities:
- Curved Glass Technology: Provides a 100% wider field of view compared to previous models, following the natural curvature of your head and peripheral vision. This design also helps reduce internal reflections and distracting glares.
- Natural Color Technology: Enhances color perception, making colors appear brighter and more realistic in both light and dark states.
- Light State 2.5: Offers improved clarity and visibility when the ADF is not darkened, allowing for better preparation before welding.
- TIG+ Standards: The ADF reliably switches even at very low TIG settings (e.g., 1 amp), meeting ISO 16321 TIG+ standards.
- 4 sensors d'arc: Ensures consistent and reliable detection of the welding arc for quick darkening.

5.2 ADF Controls
The ADF controls are intuitively placed for easy access:
- Shade Adjustment (8-12): Use the '+' and '-' buttons to select the desired dark shade level for welding.
- Sensibilitat: Adjusts how easily the ADF detects the welding arc. Higher sensitivity is suitable for low-amp Soldadura TIG.
- Retard: Controls the time it takes for the ADF to return to its light state after welding stops.
- Shade Lock: Locks the ADF in a specific shade, preventing accidental changes during operation.
- Botó Bluetooth: Activates Bluetooth for connection to the 3M Connected Equipment app.

5.3 3M Connected Equipment App
The Bluetooth-enabled helmet connects to the 3M Connected Equipment app, offering:
- Modes de memòria: Program and store up to 10 custom welding settings (dark shades, sensitivity, delay) for different applications.
- Maintenance Logs: Record and track helmet maintenance activities.
- Estadístiques d'ús: Monitor data such as when the welding filter was first activated, hours in dark state, hours in light state, and number of on/off cycles.
- Manuals d'usuari: Access digital user manuals directly through the app.
