The quality of your weld is directly linked to the quality of your vision. When your welding helmet's auto-darkening filter (ADF) begins to show signs of wear or damage, it compromises not just your work, but your safety. The Lincoln Electric VIKING 1740 ADF Cartridge Replacement Kit (KP3284-2) is the genuine OEM solution designed to bring your 1740 Series helmet back to factory specifications. This kit is not merely a spare part; it is an upgrade to your daily workflow, ensuring that you continue to experience the high-definition clarity that the VIKING line is known for.
At the core of this replacement cartridge is its exceptional optical performance. Boasting a perfect 1/1/1/1 optical clarity rating according to EN 379 standards, this lens eliminates blur, distortion, and inconsistent shading. This means you see the weld puddle exactly as it is, allowing for tighter bead placement and superior control. Whether you are performing intricate TIG work or heavy structural MIG welding, the visual fidelity provided by this ADF is unmatched in its class.
Versatility is key for modern fabricators, and the KP3284-2 delivers with a variable shade range of DIN 9-13. This broad spectrum allows operators to adjust the darkness of the lens to suit various amperages and processes. Furthermore, the unit features dedicated controls for sensitivity and delay, allowing you to tailor the lens response to your specific environment—whether you are working outdoors in bright sunlight or in a dimly lit shop. The inclusion of a Grind Mode further enhances productivity, letting you switch tasks without constantly flipping your helmet up and down.
Maintenance is designed to be hassle-free. Unlike some sealed units that require complete replacement when the battery dies, the VIKING 1740 ADF utilizes standard, user-replaceable AAA batteries. This simple feature extends the lifespan of the cartridge significantly and ensures you can always find power for your helmet, no matter where the job takes you. Invest in the longevity of your PPE with this essential replacement kit.
