AUTO-DARKENING WELDING PROTECTION FILTER
OPERATION
RPB auto-darkening welding filters operate
®
on the basis of a liquid crystal light shutter
that protects the welder's eyes against
intense visible light emitted during the
welding process. In combination with the
permanent passive IR/UV filter, it protects
against hazardous infrared (IR) and ultraviolet
(UV) light. The protection against harmful
radiation is present regardless of the shade
level or potential malfunction of the filter,
beyond the darkest shade number marked on
each specific model.
RPB auto-darkening welding filters are
®
manufactured according to ANSI Z87.1, EN
379 requirements and are CE, DIN as well
as DIN Plus certified. They are not intended
to be used as a protection against impacts,
flying particles, molten metals, corrosive
liquids or hazardous gases.
Replace potentially malfunctioned or
damaged auto-darkening welding filters
(check that the auto-darkening filter turns
dark if you strike the welding arc).
USAGE
An auto-darkening welding filter built into
a Respirator is considered to be Personal
Protection Equipment (PPE) protecting the
eyes, face, ears and neck against direct and
!WARNING! Protection lenses, both internal and external, must be used in conjunction
with the auto-darkening filter in order to protect it against permanent damage.
indirect hazardous light of the welding arc.
In case that you have only bought a filter
without the helmet, you need to select the
appropriate helmet designed to be used in
combination with an auto-darkening welding
protection filter. It has to allow the filter,
including the internal and external protection
screens, to be adequately mounted into the
helmet. There should be no tension on the
ADF Lens caused by the mounting frame or
mounting system, as it could cause severe
damage to the filter. Make sure that solar
cells and photo-sensors are not covered by
any part of the helmet, as this could prevent
the proper operation of the filter. If any of
these conditions occur, the filter may not be
suitable for use.
FIELD OF APPLICATION
RPB Auto darkening filters are suitable
®
for all types of electro-welding: covered
electrodes, MIG/MAG, TIG/WIG, plasma
welding, cutting and laser welding, except for
gas welding.
FUNCTIONS
RPB filters are supplied ready for use.
®
Check the degree of required protection for
specific welding procedure and select the
recommended shade, light sensitivity as well
as opening time delay.
