Autodim Welding Helmet with ventilation unit

Warning
Please read these instructions carefully before using the equipment!
Incorrect use can result in danger to life and health!
1. Introduction
espiratory Systems is a combined face and breathing protection device for increased safety and comfort during welding.
Please read these instructions carefully before unpacking. For proper use, see User Instructions or contact your supplier for help. Adress and telephone
number information is printed at the back of this leaflet.
Your Air Powered espirator system should include:
a) Autodim welding helmet top
b) Autodim PAP unit with attached battery
c) Belt
d) Autodim Battery charger
e) Airflow indicator
f) Instruction manual
g) Backpack
If any of above components are not included in your kit, please contact the supplier immediately.
2. Approvals
The system complies with the requirements of European Standard EN 12941: 1998+A2_2008 as a THP device.
All components used in espiratory System must be " ohrman approved" manufacturers parts, and must be used in accordance with the instructions in this
manual.
Notified Bidy: INSPEC International Limited 56 Leslie Hough Way, Salford, Greater Manchester, M6 6AJ United Kingdom (Notified body number 0194)
NOTE: The approval is not valid if the product is incorrectly used together with non-approved parts or components.
NOTE: Only the particle filter, gas filter and pre-filter can be used together with this system. Filters from other manufactures should under no circumstances
be used.
3. Usage
The espiratory System is designed to provide a supply of filtered air via a breathing tube to welding headpiece.
The complete system is a breathing device complying with EN 12941: 1998+A2:2008, class TH2 P SL.
The equipment can be used in enviroment that requires a class TH2P breathing protection device. It protects against articulate contamination.
Limitations to use
The espiratory System must only be used with the unit switched on. If the equipment is used without the unit switched on, there is a risk of high
concentration of CO2 and the oxygen level in the head top will fall, thus little or no protection is given in the power-off state and this is considered to be an
abnormal situation. Do not remove the head top or turn off the air filter unit until you have vacated the contaminated area.. If you are not sure about the
concentration of pollution, or about equipment performance, ask the industrial safety engineer. The manufacturer or supplier is not responsible for injury
following incorrect use or incorrect choice of equipment.
DO NOT use the Autodim Welding helmet with the blower unit switched off.
DO NOT use the Autodim Welding helmet in an atmosphere that is immediately hazardous to user hygiene or health and or has oxygen content of less than
19,5% or contains unknown substances.
DO NOT use the Autodim helmets in an explosive atmosphere.
DO NOT use Autodim helmets in confined spaces or areas of poor ventilation.
DO NOT use Autodim helmets in high winds.
DO NOT alter or modify in any way.
DO NOT touch any of the moving parts.
DO NOT allow water or other liquids to enter the impeller chamber, the filter or battery compartment.

Marking on the batteries (see FIGU E 5)

5. BEFO E USE / FITTING
5.1 Battery charging, FIGU E 6.
The system has a 100-240Volt, 1.5A battery charger. The battery can be charged when installed in the Autodim PAP unit or seperately.
WA NING: The battery can only be charged with supplied battery charger (Part.No.: 40.0A52010)
The Filter cartridges of the Autodim Welding helmets contain Li-Ion button cell batteries. The Autodim PAP system contains a LI-ION Battery
Used batteries and accumulators do not belong in the household waste. You are committed to dispose used batteries an accumulators solely through the
commerce or through special collection sites for this purpose. (legal obligation to return).
All new units must be charged before they are used for the first time.
The charger must not be used in any circumstances for any other purpose than for which it was manufactured. It is intended for indoor use
(must be protected from damp) and must ne used to charge non-rechargeable batteries.
The battery will be full charged in about 3.5 hours (also the heavy duty battery) this depends on residual capacity.
The red light goes on during the battery is charged and the light will turn green when it is full charged (FIGU E 7)
The battery will discharge during a long period in storage. For this reason, always re-charge the battery if it has been stored for more than 15 days.
To achieve maximum power when the battery is new, or has been stored for more than 3 months, charge and discharge the battery at least twice,
remove the battery out of the Autodim PAP unit and stored separately.
Points of attention:
1. Check that the mains supply voltage to the charger is correct.
2. Connect the battery charger to the wall socket.
3. Connect the battery charger to the battery.
Warning:
If the Autodim PAP unit starts, switch it off while charging. The battery icon on the Autodim PAP unit is used for battery capacity instead of charging
state indicating (FIGU E 8). Always refer to charging light to tell the charging state.

ecommended surrounding temperature at charging is between 0 to 40°C.
If the charger indicator light will not light up when connecting the charger to the battery, please check the battery´s charge connector and the charger´s
cords and connectors.
4. After charging is completed, disconnect the battery charger from the main supply.
5. Disconnect the battery from the battery.
NOTE: The particle filter must be changed if the battery operating time becomes too short
5.2 Checking of airflow and checking of low airflow alarm
The airflow and alarm system must always be checked before using.
1. Test air flow
The system is equipped with an air flow indicator. Connect the Airflow indicator to the breathing connector and press the "ON" button (FIGU E 9)
WA NING: Do not use the system if the ball is bellow the mark line. Check the filter and the battery and retest air flow.
2. Test air flow alarm
emove the breathing tube from the welding helmet, Press "ON" button. Cover the air outlet with your hand and wait about 15sec, the alarm will be heard
and the red light on the PAP unit will flash. The filter mark on screen will also flash (see FIGU E 10).
NOTE: If the alarm does not work, please repair or change a PAP unit

WA NING!
Leave the contaminated area immediately if:
a) Any part of the system becomes damaged
b) Airflow into the head top decreases or stops
c) Breathing becomes difficult
d) Dizziness or other distress occurs
e) You tast or smell contaminants or irritation occurs
f) At very high work rates, the pressure in this Autodim PAP device may become negative at peak inhalation flow.
5.3 Fitting
Adjust the waist belt and dual shoulder strap size, so that the Autodim PAP unit site easily and is accessible and comfortable on your hips.
Pull down the face seal ring and put on the head top. Adjust the headgear to suitable tightness so that it will be stable on the head.
The tightness of headgear can be adjusted by pushing and turning of the adjusting knob. See FIGU E 11 for details.
Put on the head top and adjust the headgear to suitable tightness so that it will be stable on the head.
The face seal should rest against your face with a comfortable pressure on your temples.
If the face seal doesn´t make contact with you face, you will not get sufficient sealing needed to offer the correct protection factor.
6: LCD and Operation
6.1 LCD
There is a LCD display on the Autordim PAP unit to show the Autodim PAP working condition (Figure 11).
Part 1 shows the data of current air flow.
Part 2 shows the level of airflow.
Part 3 shows the filter condition.
Part 4 shows the battery.
Part 5 shows the temperature of the battery.
Any of them will flash if the Autodim PAP disfunctions.
6.2 Operation
