OVERVIEW

Advanced Optics for Professional Welders

The Miller 289876 Lens Assembly is the definitive replacement Auto-Darkening Filter (ADF) for the renowned Digital Elite™ Series welding helmets. Engineered with Miller's cutting-edge ClearLight™ 2.0 Lens Technology, this assembly provides a high-definition, natural color view of the welding arc. Unlike traditional lenses that cast a green tint, ClearLight 2.0 optimizes contrast and clarity, allowing welders to see the puddle and joint with exceptional precision. This specific model is designed to interface seamlessly with Digital Elite helmets featuring the External Grind button, ensuring you maintain full functionality of your helmet's external controls without lifting the hood.

Unmatched Versatility with X-Mode

One of the standout features of this lens assembly is the proprietary X-Mode™. While standard auto-darkening lenses rely solely on optical sensors to detect the arc, X-Mode utilizes an electromagnetic sensor to detect the magnetic field of the welding arc. This means the lens will darken reliably even if the optical sensors are blocked by pipes, fixtures, or the welder's own hands. Furthermore, X-Mode eliminates the frustration of sunlight interference, making it the ideal choice for outdoor welding applications where sunlight often triggers false darkening in standard lenses.

Digital Precision and Control

The 289876 assembly features an intuitive digital interface with large, easy-to-read controls. Welders can effortlessly switch between four distinct modes: Weld, Cut, Grind, and X-Mode. The digital display allows for precise setting of shade levels (8-13 for welding, 5-8 for cutting, 3 for grinding), as well as sensitivity and delay adjustments. The integrated InfoTrack™ 2.0 technology adds a layer of productivity management by tracking arc time and arc counts, helping users monitor efficiency and project duration. This is a genuine Miller Electric OEM part, ensuring perfect fitment, durability, and compliance with ANSI Z87.1+ and CSA standards.

FAQ

No, this is the lens assembly only. It includes the internal electronics to support the external grind button, but the button itself is part of the helmet shell.

It fits Digital Elite shells, but the 'External Grind' functionality will only work if your helmet shell is equipped with the external button hardware. If used in a shell without the button, you may not be able to utilize that specific feature.

This lens assembly uses two CR2450 lithium batteries.

ClearLight 2.0 offers a wider color spectrum and a clearer light state (often brighter and less green) compared to the original ClearLight technology, providing a more natural view of the weld.

You can select X-Mode using the 'Mode' button on the digital interface panel of the lens assembly. It is indicated by the 'X' icon.

Yes, genuine Miller lens assemblies typically carry a manufacturer's warranty (often 3 years) against defects in materials and workmanship.

Absolutely. The lens is rated for low-amperage TIG welding down to 5 amps.

The viewing area for the Digital Elite series lens is 9.22 square inches.
