Introduction
A welding helmet is an item of headgear that is used to protect the eyes, face and neck from burns, UV
light, sparks, infrared light and heat during certain welding operations� The helmet consists of several
parts (see spare parts list)� An automatic welding filter combines a passive UV filter and a passive IR
filter with an active filter whose light transmittance in the visible range of the spectrum varies depending
on the light intensity in the welding arc� The light transmittance of the automatic welding filter has a high
initial value (light state)� After switching on the welding arc and within a defined response time, the light
transmittance of the filter changes to a low value (dark state)� Depending on the model, the helmet
can be combined with a safety helmet and/or a PAPR (Powered Air Purifying Respirator) system�
Safety instructions
Read the instruction manual before using the helmet� Make sure the finisher is mounted correctly� If
faults cannot be remedied, the ADF must no longer be used� For further information, please contact
your authorised retailer�
Precautions & protective restrictions / risks
During the welding process, heat and radiation are released; this can cause eye and skin injuries�
This product provides protection for the eyes and face� Your eyes are always protected against
ultraviolet and infrared radiation when wearing the helmet, regardless of the protection level selected�
Appropriate protective clothing must also be worn to protect the rest of your body� Particles and
substances released during the welding process can trigger allergic skin reactions in persons
with this disposition� With sensitive persons, skin contact with the head part can lead to allergic
reactions� The welding helmet may only be used for welding and grinding and not for other applications�
The manufacturer accepts no liability if the welding helmet is not used as intended or not used in
accordance with the instructions for use� The helmet is suitable for all common welding processes,
except gas and laser welding� Please note the protection level recommendation according to EN169
on the wrapper�
The helmet does not replace a safety helmet� Depending on the model, the helmet can be combined
with a safety helmet�
The design features of the helmet may affect the field of vision (no peripheral vision without turning
the head) and the light transmittance of the automatic darkening filter may affect colour perception�
As a result, signal lamps or warning indicators may not be seen� Furthermore, there is a risk of
impact due to the larger contour (head with helmet)� The helmet also impairs hearing and reduces
the sensation of heat�
Sleep mode
The ADF has an automatic switch-off function that increases the battery life� If less than 1 lux of light
reaches the ADF for approx� 10 minutes, the ADF switches off automatically (not in Bluetooth Modus)�
To switch the cassette back on, the solar cells must be briefly exposed to daylight� If the ADF can no
longer be activated or does not darken when the welding arc is ignited, the batteries must be replaced�
Warranty & liability
The warranty conditions can be found in the instructions of the manufacturer's national sales
organisation� Contact your authorised specialist retailer for more details� A warranty is only given
for material and manufacturing defects� In the event of damage due to improper use, unauthorised
intervention or use not provided for by the manufacturer, the warranty and liability are void� The liability
and warranty are also void if spare parts other than those distributed by the manufacturer are used�
Expected Lifetime
The welding helmet does not have an end-of-life date� The product can be used as long as no visible
or invisible damage or malfunctions occur�
Operating permit
Changes or modifications made to this equipment not expressly approved by optrel tec ag may void
the FCC authorization to operate this equipment�
Application (Quick Start Guide p. 4-5/Functions p. 6-7)
Correct adjustment of the headband is very important for this product, because the benefits of the
large field of view are only ensured if the headband is correctly adjusted�
1� Headband head size/circumference. Adjust the upper adjustment strap to your head size�
Push in the ratchet knob and turn until the headgear fits well but does not exert pressure� Make
sure that your eyes are approximately in the centre of the field of vision� (p� 5 no�3a)
2� Eye distance. You can loosen the locking buttons to adjust the distance between the cassette
and the eyes� Position the helmet as close as possible to the eyes (the closer the ADF is to the
eyes, the larger your field of vision will be)� Adjust both sides equally without tilting� Then tighten
the locking buttons again� (p� 5 no�3b)�
3� Helmet angle (excentre) The helmet angle can be adjusted using the rotary knob� Adjust the
angle so that the nose does not touch the cut-out for the nose� Carefully perform a test to ensure
that the helmet shell does not touch your nose, even when you nod (use the supplied nose pad
to protect your nose)� (p� 5 no�3c)�
4� Operating mode automatic/manual. You can use the slide switch to select the protection
level adjustment mode� In automatic mode, the protection level is automatically adapted to the
intensity of the arc by means of sensors (EN 379:2003 standard)� In manual mode, the protection
level can be set by turning the knob�
5� Protection level. (p� 7 No� III + IV)
Manual mode: In "Manual" mode, you can choose between protection levels 7 to 12 by turning the
protection level control knob� (Protection mode correction is disabled in manual mode)� (p� 7 No�
IV)
Auto mode: In Auto mode, the protection level is automatically adjusted and corresponds to
protection level 5 > 12 according to EN 379 when the rotary knob is set to position "N"� By turning
the knob, the automatically set protection level can be corrected by up to two protection levels
upwards or downwards depending on your personal preferences (the absolute minimum and
maximum protection levels, 5 and 12, respectively cannot be undershot or exceeded, regardless
of the correction setting)� (p� 7 No� III)
6� Opening time controller/delay. The opening time controller (Delay) (p� 6) allows you to select
the opening time delay from dark to light� The rotary knob supports continuous adjustment from
dark to light between 0�1 and 2�0 s (p� 6 no� II)
7� Twilight effect. The twilight effect’s smooth transition from dark to light offers even better
