Product characteristic and setting options
VarioProtect XXL-W-2 TC | Version 1.01 | EN 7
7 Product characteristic and setting
options
The automatic welding filter in the welding helmet Vario-
Protect XXL-W-2 TC was developed to protect the eyes
and face from welding sparks, welding splashes and
harmful radiation under normal welding conditions. The
automatic welding filter automatically changes its state
from light to dark when an arc is ignited. The view th-
rough the helmet automatically becomes brighter when
welding is no longer being carried out.
The VarioProtect XXL-W-2 TC is ready for immediate
use upon delivery. Before you start welding, all you need
to do is adjust the helmet's head straps and select the
correct brightness level.
The shape of the helmet relieves the head and neck of
the welder, so the user feels more comfortable while
working.
As soon as an arc is ignited, the photo sensors on the
welding filter react and darken the view in 0.3 millise-
conds.
7.1 Selection of delay time
When welding is interrupted, the viewing window auto-
matically changes from dark to light, but with a preset de-
lay so that the bright light from the afterglow on the work-
piece is always reduced. The delay or reaction time can
be adjusted between 0.2 and 1.0 seconds as required
using the DELAY control on the inside of the helmet.
The switch-over time can be different depending on the
welding process and sensitivity setting, even if the switch
for the delay time is in the same position. If the filter flas-
hes when welding under low current conditions, set the
delay time to the „Long“ position, this may solve the pro-
blem.
Fig. 2: Selection of delay time
7.2 Setting the sensitivity
Switching the filter to darkening can be adjusted steples-
sly between High (high sensitivity) and Low (low sensiti-
vity) with the „SENSITIVITY“ control on the inside of the
helmet.
Before welding, set the sensitivity to the highest position
and adjust it accordingly during welding if necessary.
If the filter darkens without welding, slowly adjust the
„Sensitivity“ to a lower position until the filter returns to
the light state (do not hold the welding helmet against a
light source, but over the workpiece). During welding, the
sensitivity knob should be set as high as possible.
Fig. 3: Setting the sensitivity
7.3 Setting the operating mode
With the operating mode switch it is possible to choose
between „Weld“ (with protection levels 4 - 8 or 9 - 13)
and „Grind“.
Fig. 4: Operating mode and protection level switches
When grinding, the helmet protects against impacting
particles. The darkening function is switched off.
ATTENTION!
The operator must stop using with the helmet immedi-
ately if the filter does not darken, or the darkening speed
is too slow, or the filter flashes. Contact your dealer.

Product characteristic and setting options
7.4 Setting the shade control
The shade ranges (from DIN4 to DIN8, or from DIN9 to
DIN13) are selected with the shade knob on the inside of
the helmet (Fig. 4).
Thanks the welding filters, the eyes and face of the wel-
der are completely protected against UV and IR radiation
during the welding work, even if the cassette does not
darken. The UV/IR protection is always up to DIN 16, so
the user is always protected against UV/IR radiation du-
ring welding.
Before welding, set the shading level according to the
welding method and welding current in accordance with
the colour table (Fig. 8).
If the darkening is too strong or too slow, adjust the knob
slightly until the weld spot can be seen.
7.5 Power supply, test button
The power supply for the welding helmet is provided by a
battery.
By pressing the Test button, the charge level of the lit-
hium battery and the function of the filter can be chec-
ked.
Fig. 5: Battery test
During normal operation of the filter, after pressing the
Test button, the battery indicator lights up red and the fil-
ter darkens.
If the battery indicator does not lightening or light is very
weak, the battery must be replaced (battery type
CR2450, lithium battery).
If the battery indicator lights up and the filter does not
darken, the filter is defective and must be replaced.
7.6 Headband adjustment options
Fig. 6: Headband adjustment
1. Upper headband W (Fig. 6) - Adjustment in the direc-
tion of the arrow further or narrower to adjust the hel-
met to a suitable position.
2. Side bands Z - Adjustment option symmetrically
further or narrower in the direction of the arrow on
both sides to adjust the distance of the user's eyes to
the filter lens. To adjust, loosen the knobs on both si-
des of the helmet, move the helmet symmetrically to
the appropriate position and retighten the knobs.
3. Rear headband Y - Adjustment with knob further or
narrower to adjust the fit of the helmet looser or fir-
mer..
4. Tilt angle X - 4 adjustment options to adjust the height
of the user's eyes to the filter lens and the angle of the
helmet to the user's face. To adjust, loosen the knobs
on the outside of the helmet, move the helmet to the
appropriate position and retighten the knobs.
Due to the adjustment of the headband results in a maxi-
mum comfort.
This model is equipped with a folding mechanism (up and
down). When the welder turns the helmet towards the top of
the head, the headband mechanism makes the helmet's cen-
tre of gravity a little lower and coincides with the centre of
gravity of the welder's head.
The design of the welding helmet provides for less fatigue on
the head and neck of the welder, and thus for a more comfor-
table feeling while working.
If the headgear has been unevenly adjusted, and the di-
stance from the eyes to the filter lens is uneven, reset the
headgear to reduce the distance to the filter.
ATTENTION!
Before starting welding, it is important that the opera-
ting mode switch is set to a protection level for wel-
ding again.
ATTENTION!
If the welding helmet is used for a long time with the
wrong shading level, the eyes may be injured!

Notes before commissioning
VarioProtect XXL-W-2 TC | Version 1.01 | EN 9
8 Notes before commissioning
- The automatic welding helmet is delivered ready for
use. All you need to do before welding is to adjust
the position of the headband and select the correct
level of darkening for your application.
- Before using for the first time, remove the protective
film on both sides of the protective glass (if present).
- Make sure the view window is clean and that no dirt
covers the four sensors on the front of the filter car-
tridge. Also, make sure the inner and outer lens are
firmly seated in the frame.
- Inspect all parts for visible damage and signs of use
before putting into operation. To prevent serious in-
jury, scratched, cracked or perforated parts should
be replaced immediately before the helmet is used
again.
- Ensure that the helmet is firmly attached before each
use.
- Choose an optimum Shade number for the required
welding process or application. Turn the setting
knob for the protection level to the appropriate value.
Make sure the setting is correct by taking the „Re-
commended Shade Numbers“ table (Fig. 8).
- Adjust the headbands so that the welding helmet sits
as low as possible on the head and close to the face.
When using the welding helmetat a lower location,
the angle must be adjusted.

Each product is marked with the shade number (DIN 4 to
DIN 8 and DIN 9 to DIN 13). Make sure that products
have correct shade number before welding.
The eye protection classification is made according to
EN 379. Other makings on the products are made accor-
ding to relevant European Standards
ExampleFilter (EN 379):
Fig. 9: Classification for the eye protection
The welding head unit and the outer lens are marked
with identification letters indicating the protection class
against impact energy (flying parts):
Protective helmet: SWM 175 B CE
175: Standard
B: Medium impact energy (shelling 120 m/s).
