Assembly Instructions
Speed Sensor and Speed Shield Assembly
Connect the Speed Sensor and Speed Shield to the base by attaching the two screw knobs.
Both sides of each have pre-drilled holes.
1. Position threaded holes on
the Speed Sensor (orange
arrows) to the inside of the
base arm (green arrows)
2. Position the threaded holes
on Speed Shield Bracket
(orange arrows) to the
outside of the base arm
(blue arrows)
3. Line up the 2 screw knobs*
to the outside of the
Speed Shield Bracket
to the base arm
(red arrows)
4. Screw until tight
* These knobs are also used for adjusting the alignment of the Speed Sensor.
Helmet and Angle
Sensor Assembly
Connect the Helmet with the Angle Sensor by plugging
in the white cord plug of the Angle Sensor with the
black cable jack connector**
1. This is located on the right side of the guideWELD LIVE
Helmet, wrapped over the Helmet’s halo.
** The Angle Sensor comes pre-assembled.

Battery Installation
guideWELD LIVE has two battery packs
that are located on the Speed Board and
on the Helmet. Both locations take two
rechargeable AA batteries.
NOTE: Each unit is shipped with
rechargeable batteries installed. An
additional four rechargeable batteries
and battery charger are included.
System Battery Life
The bottom right screen on the
guideWELD LIVE Helmet will display the
battery status icons. The bottom left icon
is the helmet battery status and the
bottom middle-left icon is the speed
sensor battery status.
The following is the life expectancy for
each battery pack before recharging:
• Helmet battery life expectancy: 6.5 hours per continuous use
• Speed Board battery life expectancy: 8 hours per continuous use
NOTE: For best usage, if using product on a day-to-day basis, charge overnight to ensure
fully charged batteries with every use.
Speed Shield Cleaning Instructions
Speed Shield:
• Keeping the shield clear of dust, debris, and other welding partials will give the tracking
sensors the best visual of welding arc
• Clean the shield after each use for best results; wipe it with a dry cloth
Protective Speed Lens:
• Keep lens free of dust, debris, and other welding partials
• Clean lens every 2-3 days of welding use for best results; wipe it with a dry cloth
Helmet batteries (screwdriver needed)

Calibration Process
NOTICE: The calibration process will need to be
completed before each weld!
The process includes Speed Sensor alignment and Angle Sensor calibration. The process is
the same for Stick or MIG welding except when of using the Stick Calibration Fixture (for Stick
welding only).
Speed Sensor Alignment
Joint/Coupon types
1. Tee (2F)
2. Lap (2F)
3. V-Groove (1G)
Based on chosen joint type, align Speed Sensor to welding coupon

Calibration Process (continued)
Angle Sensor Calibration
During calibration process and during weld, maintain a rm grasp on welding gun and
Angle Sensor. For best results, keep Angle Sensor in the same location (between palm of
hand/glove and welding gun) without movement.*
1. Tighten the Angle Sensor straps to the palm
of your hand. Cover your hand and the Angle
Sensor with a welding glove
OR
Cover your hand with the welding glove, then
tighten the Angle Sensor straps to the palm of
the glove-covered hand
2. Determine if welding left- or right-handed--use left side calibration xture for left-handed
users, or right side for right-handed users
3. Determine if calibrating for MIG
or Stick process
a. For MIG, insert the welding
gun into the calibration xture
b. For Stick, insert the welding
gun into the Stick
Calibration Fixture
4. Tighten the small screw knob
a. For MIG, tighten so the
welding gun nozzle can just
slide in and out of the xture
with minimal clearance
b. For Stick, tighten on Stick
Calibration Fixture so it cannot
be easily be removed
MIG Calibration Setup Stick Calibration Setup
*Angle Sensor must be on palm side during
welding for accurate guidance feedback.
