  • 1/1/1/1 optical classification delivers distortion-free vision, helping welders track puddle edges and bead placement accurately.
  • ShadeTronic® auto-adjustment adapts shade instantly as arc intensity changes, preventing constant manual shade adjustments.
  • FadeTronic® delay control gradually returns lens to light state, reducing eye fatigue after long weld passes.
  • 0.170 ms switching time darkens instantly, protecting eyes during sudden arc strikes.
  • PAPR compatibility with e3000x system filters welding fumes and particulates during heavy fabrication work.
DESCRIPTION

Optrel e684 PAPR Auto Darkening Welding Helmet

Product # 4442.004

The Optrel e684 PAPR welding helmet is an auto darkening helmet designed for welding environments where respiratory protection may be required. The lens provides a light state of shade 4 and automatically darkens to adjustable shade levels from 9 to 13 when an arc is detected.

This helmet is designed to operate with the Optrel e3000x PAPR system. When paired with the blower unit and filter system, it can help reduce exposure to welding fumes, smoke, and airborne particles in fabrication and industrial environments.

The helmet includes adjustable arc detection and delay settings to match different welding conditions. External controls allow the user to adjust shade levels and activate grinding mode without removing the helmet.

Includes: Welding helmet, instruction manual, storage bag, CR2032 batteries, warranty card

Does Not Include: e3000x PAPR blower system, respiratory hose, belt unit, filters

Auto darkening welding helmet designed for welders who may use powered air respiratory protection during welding work.

The Optrel e684 is an auto darkening welding helmet intended for fabrication, maintenance, and production welding. The lens provides a light state of shade 4 and darkens automatically to adjustable shade levels between 9 and 13 when welding begins.

Three arc sensors monitor the welding arc and activate the lens. Adjustable sensitivity and delay controls allow the welder to adapt the helmet to different arc intensities and work environments.

The helmet is compatible with the Optrel e3000x powered air respirator system. When combined with the blower unit and filter system, it can provide filtered airflow during welding operations in environments where fumes or airborne particles are present.
