Instructions for use:
BARRIER offers complete protection of the head and eyes against ultraviolet and infrared rays emitted during welding
operations. The lens can be switched from the clear state (shade 4) to dark states (shades 9 to 13).
BARRIER may be used for all welding work but should NOT be used as protection against oxy-acetylene cutting (blowtorch)
and laser welding.
It is very important to read these instructions carefully and to comply with the various stages of use described below, at the
risk of incurring serious eye injury.
(1) Checking the product: Before using the optoelectronic welding shield for the first time, it is important to:
- Examine the product carefully and check its marking. Ensure that the product was manufactured by Delta Plus Group, that
the helmet is marked BARRIHL and that it is fitted with its LCD lens marked BARRILQ;
- Examine the product carefully and ensure there is no damage, including on the inner and outer faces of the LCD screen, its
solar sensor, its shell as well as its harness;
- Ensure that the whole product and its accessories are properly assembled and ready for use (see figure attached);
- Check the operation of the product by putting it as close as possible to an electric arc. It should switch automatically from
the clear to the dark state, otherwise it is damaged;
- Remove the protective film from the screen before use.
If the product is not conform, please contact us.
(2) Assembly: Our BARRIER product will probably not be assembled. If this is the case, refer to the diagram attached. The
product should be assembled carefully (do not omit or leave any parts unassembled),
- Mount the headgear assembly;
- Fit the LCD lens in place. The BARRIER model is equipped with a BARRILQ reference LCD lens;
- The screws used to fix the LCD lens should be firmly tightened. Do not use the helmet with its lens incorrectly fixed;
- The protective screen should be fitted in the welding shield in front of the LCD lens. The outer face of the LCD lens should
not come into direct contact with the welding arc.
(3) Adjusting the BARRIHL reference helmet: You can adjust the headgear assembly using its button (press and rotate) to
tighten to fit your head size. Then try on the shield before using it for work. For a finer adjustment of your field of vision you
can also modify the position of the stud located under the right-hand screw of the headgear assembly.
(4) Adjusting the BARRILQ reference LCD lens: The LCD lens is equipped with 3 adjustable buttons. For optimum
performances of the shield it is important to adjust them properly, according to your work conditions. The three functions are
the shade adjustment to the dark state, switchover time and sensitivity.

Do not use for applications other than those for which it has been designed.
- Minimum lifespan: 3000 hours of use;
- The protective screen might be damaged (scratches / cracks). It should then be replaced (BARRIPPIN reference). Remove
the protective film before replacing it;
- If the LCD lens does not darken when you use it, if there is no reaction during welding, if the lens flashes and/or is unstable,
if the lens darkens but returns to the clear state, then the LCD lens may be damaged. It should not be used. Contact us and
replace it immediately;
- If the LCD lens shatters or can no longer switch from the clear to the dark state when you use it, change it immediately;
- Never use a damaged screen;
- Do not modify this product, only use the accessories designed for it. Contact us for further information;
- Keep your workplace clean and tidy. Cluttered workplaces cause accidents;
- The work place should be well lit. Work in dry conditions not in damp environments away from gas or inflammable liquids;
- Dress appropriately with welding clothes, gloves and non-slip shoes. Avoid wearing jewellery and loose clothing:
- Keep out of the reach of children;
- Read the instructions and the markings on the products carefully.
Instructions for storage:
Store your equipment in a clean, cool, dry place in its original packaging;
Instructions for cleaning / maintenance:
