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 useIt`s not
allowed to apply Stickers or similar to the helmet 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 heatWarning:
For the overall marking of the safety class of the helmet, the lowest of all components used is always
decisive For use in extreme temperatures, pay attention to the appropriate labeling: FT, BT or AT When
wearing glasses, shocks can be transferred directly from the helmet to the head
Colour view
To increase convenience and safety, you can recognize colours with this welding helmet
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 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
avoid 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
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 no3a)
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 no3b)
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 no3c)
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 (p 7 No III + IV)
5 Protection level 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 4 > 13 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 01 and 20 s (p 6 no II)
7 Twilight effect The twilight effect's smooth transition from dark to light offers even better protection
of the eyes to prevent fatigue and irritation caused by afterglow from objects; it gives the eyes the time
they need to acclimatise to the brightness (p 6 no II) CAUTION: For quick tack welding, do not set the
rotary knob to the Twilight range The "Tack" range with a minimal opening delay is best suited
8 Grinding mode You can press the Grind button to set the ADF to grinding mode In this mode, the
cassette is deactivated and remains in light mode for 10 minutes Active grinding mode is indicated by the
blue LED flashing from the outside and by the reflection of the helmet's front cover lens on the inside To
switch off grinding mode, press the Grind button again (p 7 no V)
9 Sensitivity With the sensitivity button the light sensitivity is adjusted according to the welding arc and
the ambient light This can be individually adjusted by turning the rotary knob A very high light sensitivity is
achieved in the "Super High" range; this guarantees darkening even with weak arcs (p 6 no I)
10 Sensors This welding helmet has 5 sensors 4 sensors detect the welding light and 1 sensor is responsible
for detecting the light intensity (automatic mode) and the innovative Stay-Dark function
Cleaning and disinfection
The ADF and the finisher must be cleaned regularly with a soft cloth Do not use strong cleaning agents,
solvents, alcohol or cleaning agents containing abrasives Scratched or damaged lenses should be
replaced
Storage
The welding helmet must be stored at room temperature and low humidity To extend the life of the batteries,
store the helmet in a light environment
Replacing the front cover lens (p. 4 no. 4)
When changing the attachment disc, caution is required Do not deform the helmet, as otherwise the
welding filter can be damaged
1 The front cover lens be removed from the anchorage and removed by pulling the tab on the side
backwards
2 Hook the new finisher into one side clip Pull the finisher across to the second side clip and lock it in place
This manual action requires some application of pressure so that the seal on the finisher exhibits the
desired effect
Battery/charging process (p. 4 no. 1)
The helmet has a high performance lithium polymer (LiPo) battery Before using the battery for the first
time, fully charge it with the supplied Micro-USB cable via a commercially available USB connector (not
included) After charging, the Micro-USB socket on the helmet must be protected from dust and dirt with the
protective cap The battery is also charged by external light sources (ceiling light, welding light) via the
solar cell If the helmet is used frequently, the battery will very rarely need charging We recommend
charging the helmet completely every 6 months If the battery is discharged, charging for approx 15
minutes is sufficient for an operating time of approx 8 hours
State of charge:
1) Red flash: Battery is almost discharged (charge immediately)
2) Orange permanently lit: Battery is charging
3) Green permanently lit: Battery is fully charged
If the helmet fails to darken when the welding arc is ignited, please check the state of charge (press the
grinding button: if the LED no longer flashes blue, the battery is completely discharged) If the ADF does
not function correctly when the battery is charged, contact your authorised retailer
A defective battery can be replaced by the manufacturer or an approved service centre
