Product # 1050.000.US

Includes: Welding helmet, Optrel IsoFit headgear, Removable hard hat, Storage bag, Micro USB charging cable, Front cover lens, Warranty card, Operating instructions

Does Not Include: Respiratory protection system

Slide up auto darkening welding helmet designed for fabrication shops and welding environments where welders frequently switch between welding, grinding, and setup work.

The Optrel Helix 2.5 welding helmet uses a panoramic lens design that expands the visible work area compared to standard welding helmets. The auto darkening filter provides a light state of DIN 2.5 for improved visibility before and after welding.

The slide up lens allows the welding filter to move out of the way during grinding or positioning work. Five arc sensors detect the welding arc and activate the filter, while adjustable sensitivity and delay controls allow the helmet to be adapted for different welding processes.

KEY FEATURES Viewing Area: Panoramic extended field of view Shade Range: Automatic DIN 5 to DIN 12, Manual DIN 7 to DIN 12 Sensors: 5 arc sensors Light State: DIN 2.5 Power Supply: Solar cells with rechargeable lithium polymer battery Switching Time: 0.090 ms light to dark at room temperature Grinding Mode: Yes Weight: 640 g USED FOR • Fabrication and welding shops • MIG, TIG, and stick welding • Welders who frequently switch between welding and grinding • Multi process welding environments NOT FOR • Laser welding applications • Environments requiring supplied air respiratory protection • Extreme foundry heat environments APPLICATIONS • TIG Welding (GTAW) • MIG Welding (GMAW) • Stick Welding (SMAW) • Flux Cored Wire Welding • Plasma Welding • Plasma Cutting • Gas Welding • Grinding

FABCORE X DECISION GUIDE

The Optrel Helix 2.5 welding helmet is designed for welders who want the flexibility of a slide up welding lens and a wide field of vision. The panoramic design improves visibility of the surrounding workspace during welding operations.
