Walter S540-12 Retrofit ADF Lens
The Walter Surface Technologies S540-12 is a replacement auto-darkening filter designed to upgrade existing welding helmets. It fits the standard 5 x 4 inch window size found on many models. This new lens brings modern darkening technology to older headgear.
Suitable for welders needing a fixed shade 12 lens
This unit suits operators who work consistently at a single amperage range and prefer a fixed-darkness filter. It is not for users who require variable shade adjustment or automatic darkening that switches between light and dark states. Buyers with helmets that do not accept a 5 x 4 inch cartridge should look at other options.
Fixed shade 12 protection level
The lens delivers a permanent shade 12 rating, which determines the amount of light transmission allowed during the weld. Confirm that your application and process specifications call for this exact shade number before purchasing.
