The opto-electronic filter in the mask is not waterproof and
will not function properly if it has been in contact with water.
The welding mask must be moved carefully to avoid damage
to the filter, guards and/or protective shell.
Maintenance :
- Do not place heavy objects or tools on or in the facepiece
to avoid damage to the filter or face shields.
Mask storage temperatures range from -10°C to +60°C.
- Clean the Optoelectronic Filter with a clean cotton or
special lens cloth.
- Regularly clean and change the guard screens.
- Clean the inside and outside of the mask with a neutral
detergent-disinfectant. Do not use solvents.
- Make sure that the sensors and cell are not obstructed by
dust or debris.
- We recommend using the mask and visors for 5 years.
The length of use depends on various factors such as type
of use, cleaning, storage and maintenance.
BEFORE WELDING
- Check that the welding helmet is in good condition and headband adjustment.
- Check whether the front cover lens, the front frame and filter are inserted and fixed in place. In case of anomalie, please proceed
to its reconditionning.
- Make sure that the 2 sensors and the cell (2) are not obstructed by dust or debris.
- Make sure that the protection films on both screens are removed.
- Check that the protection level matches your welding processes. Please refer to the following chart to help your choice (cf. wel-
ding process board)
INTRODUCTION
The welding helmet LCD GYSMATIC 9/13 XL and 5/13 XXL the air purifying/repiratory unit combine to form a face and breathing
protection device for increased safety and comfort. Base on the principle of overpressured air circulation, the respiratory protection
system is mounted on a waist belt and delivers a regulated air flow through a tube straight into the helmet. The flow of purified air
creates an overpressure, thus preventing the outside air from going into the helmet.
The complete system is a class TH2 P R SL breathing apparatus. The system is delivered as standard with a TH2 filter (ref. 038424).
PRECAUTIONS
• The welding helmet is suitable for use with virtually all welding processes except Oxy-Acetylene welding, laser welding and gas
welding.
• Standard protective screens must be installed on both inside and outside surfaces of the module. Failure to use protective screens
may constitute a safety hazard or result in irreparable damage to the module.
• All components used in the respiratory system must be GYS approved parts and must be used in accordance with the instructions
in this manual.
• The respirator must be stored in a dry and clean place in a temperature range of -10°C to +60°C and a relative humidity of less
than 90%.
• Caution! The breathing tube can become entangled and jammed in the surrounding area.
• At very high work rates, the pressure in the respiratory protective device may become negative at the time of maximum inhala-
tion flow.
