INTRODUCTION
The ': auto darkening, flip front welding helmet affords reliable protection for the eyes for most welding and
grinding applications. The auto-darkening feature of the ': welding helmet allows the welder to see the point
of arc strike more precisely whilst keeping both hands free. The helmets light weight and automatic features reduce
fatigue and lead to time savings.
With the front of the ': raised (flipped-up), the inner visor offers a wide field of view for grinding and slag
removal, providing adequate protection in accordance with relevant standards. With the front of the welding helmet
lowered (flipped-down), the ': will offer permanent protection against UV/IR rays (up to Shade 13 DIN), heat
and sparks. The protection shades of the ': auto darkening welding helmet have been chosen to avoid eye
damage caused by the welding arc.
WARNING: Do not look directly at welding rays with unprotected eyes when the arc strikes - this can cause a
painful inflammation of the cornea and irreparable damage to the lens of the eye leading to cataracts. Ensure the
front of the welding helmet is lowered (flipped down) at all times during any Welding, Gas or Plasma Process.
WARNING AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Read the instructions before operating this Auto Darkening Welding Helmet. This helmet is designed to protect your
eyes and face from sparks, spatter and harmful IR and UV radiation. This helmet will not protect you from explosive
devices or corrosive liquids.
Never operate this helmet without the lens cover properly installed. Keep front lens cover and light sensors clean
for proper operation. Replace auto darkening lens if it is cracked, scratched or pitted to avoid serious personal
injury. Use only replacement parts specified in this manual.
DANGER
Arc rays from the welding process produce intense
heat and strong ultraviolet rays that can burn eyes
and skin. Use the following table to select the
appropriate shade number for a Welding Helmet or
Welding Face Shield.
1.Use a Welding Helmet or Welding Face Shield fitted
with a proper shade of filter to protect your face and
eyes when welding or watching.
2.Use protective screens or barriers to protect others
from flash and glare; warn others not to watch the
arc.
3.Wear protective clothing made from durable,
flame-resistant material (wool and leather) and foot
protection.
4.Never wear contact lenses while welding.

Adjustment Knob
Push and Move
‘Head Size’
Auto Darkening Filter
Longitudinal
Adjustment
Rake
Adjustment
Flip Visor and Grinding Shield
The helmet front with welding filters can be flipped up and ‘locked’ in a “parked” position to enable grinding and/or
the removal of slag whilst ensuring suitable eye protection.
Use the Friction Adjustment Knob to adjust the ease of movement and ensure positive positioning of the flip visor.
Replace the polycarbonate grinding lens (P/No W4000-3) whenever visibility is impaired by pushing the lens from
the inside of the helmet and easing the lens away from the lower tabs . To insert a new lens, start by inserting the
top tabs into the top of the helmet, and ensure all other tabs are positively located into the corresponding cut-outs
in the helmet.
Auto Darkening Filter
Selecting the Shade Level (B)
Set the shade by turning the knob on the inside of the helmet (B).
The most suitable setting can be found in Table 1 - Suitable Shade Levels (pg3) or chosen using your experience.
This setting can also be made manually during the welding process.
Turning clockwise = darker
Turning anti clockwise = clearer
Selecting Sensitivity (A)
Turn the sensitivity knob clockwise to the max. setting (A). Depending upon the surrounding light the filter will
switch to the dark state or will flicker (if the surrounding light is very low, the filter may not switch to the dark state).
Turn back the sensitivity knob (A) until the filter switches to the clear state. The filter is now set to its optimum
sensitivity according to the surrounding light conditions.
If the lighting conditions change significantly you are advised to repeat this process. This will ensure you always
have your helmet set to the optimum sensitivity.

Selecting the Delay (C)
The clearing delay can be adjusted manually by turning the delay knob (C) between a fast clear (0.1 sec) fully anti
clock wise and a slow clear (1.0 sec) fully clockwise.
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
': welding helmets should not be dropped. To avoid damage the electro-optical filter, do not place heavy
objects or tools (hammers etc.) on or inside the helmet.
Always make sure that the helmet is equipped with an outer and inner lens (in front of the filter on the outside and
on the inside, behind the filter). These protection lenses must be replaced if damaged in any way (see overleaf).
They are consumables and should checked and replaced regularly. Please see table overleaf for part codes relating
to these consumable products.
The filter should be cleaned when changing the protection lenses.This can be done by any of the following ways:
• Wipe with a clean, dry piece of cloth;
• Clean with a piece of smooth cloth moistened with pure alcohol;
• Clean with a commercial disinfectant.
If used properly the welding filter requires no further maintenance during its lifetime.
If the filter should be replaced on your ': welding helmet, only use the recommended replacement filter from
your local 6WUDWD store. The use of any other Auto Darkening Filter will void the warranty. Please see table at the
rear of this manual for part codes relating to these consumable products.
The filter itself contains no special or toxic products and can be disposed of in the same way as other electronic
devices.
WARNING If any of the functions fail in use or during the following tests, DO NOT USE the ':
Welding Helmet and contact your local 6WUDWD store.
Evaluating Filter Performance and Function
Before use of the welding helmet the Auto Darkening Filter (ADF) and helmet needs to be checked in accordance
with the following procedure:
• Check outer protection lens is clean and sufficiently clear to allow visibility.
• Ensure the the sensors are NOT covered and are clean.
Once these checks have been carried out you should test the ADF.
Select the darkest setting (Shade 13) and set the sensitivity to the highest setting. Now point the sensor towards a
light source such as an overhead light, lamp etc. The ADF should now switch to the dark state (please note if the
ADF is stored in a dark area away from light it may need to be left out in strong light or sunlight for 1 hour to absorb
power, if after 1 hour the ADF does still not react then there is an issue with the sensor). Once the filter is in the dark
state you can check the shade variation is functioning correctly, simply adjust the shade. By doing this, the shade
should get lighter. If the shade does not appear to alter then you have an issue with the shade variation.
To test the Delay Function - set the delay to the maximum setting. Now move the filter sensor away from the light
source it should take 1 second to return to the light state, now alter the delay setting to the minimum and repeat the
process, the time taken to return to the clear state should be 0.1 second. If the ADF does not react in this way then
there is an issue with the delay function.
To evaluate the Sensitivity - set the sensitivity to minimum setting. Point the ADF at the light source you used to
test the other functions. If the ADF switches to a dark state, move away until the filter returns to a clear state, then
slowly reduce the sensitivity until the filter switches to dark state (if it does not change then move closer to the light
until it reacts). If the ADF does not react then there is an issue with the light sensors.

Replacing the Outer Spatter Lens (6)
Ensure that the helmet is always equipped with
an Outside Spatter Lens (on the outside of the
helmet) and an Inner Lens (inside the helmet).
These protection lenses must be replaced if broken,
damaged or covered with welding spatter or other
matter to such an extent that vision is impaired.
Inner & Outer Lenses are consumables and must be
replaced regularly with certified 6WUDWD spare parts.
NOTE: Before using the ': helmet for the first
time the protective films must be removed from the
Front Spatter Lens (Fig. 1). The film cannot be
removed from the Front Spatter Lens with the Lens
in place, Please follow the instructions below to
remove the Spatter Lens.
Fig. 1
Inserting and Removing a new Protection Lens
To change the outer protection (3) lens the filter
must be removed by unscrewing the two retaining
screws (6) from the inside of the helmet flip (1). The
old protection lens can then be removed and the new
lens inserted followed by the light seal cradle (4), Auto
Darkening Filter (5), inner protection lens (7) and then
the ADF retaining frame (6) before finally replacing the
two retaining screws (see Fig. 2).
Inserting and Removing the Grinding Lens (2)
To remove the grinding lens – simply push out from
the inside, ensuring to disconnect from the lugs at the
top of the visor. To replace with a new lens – locate
the lugs at the top and then clip the lens into all the
helmet lugs.
Auto Darkening Filter (5)
To allow the filter to switch, the sensors on the front of
the filter must not be covered. The filter then switches
to the dark state when the arc strikes and to the clear
state when the welding arc stops.

1. Introduction:
This is a respiratory protective system which
is based on the principle of circulated
over pressured air in the hood. The belt-
mounted blower unit delivers air through a filter
and via an air hose into a headpiece (a hood or
mask). The supply of filtered air creates
positive pressure inside of the headpiece,
which prevents the external contaminated
air from entering the user's breathing zone.
2. Approvals:
The STRATA RESPIRATOR has been
designed and manufactured to comply with
EN12941: 1998 as a TH2P R SL device.
BS4275 (Guide to implementing an effective
respiratory protective device program), which the
user is advised to read, defines an EN12941 TH2P
R SL device as offering an Assigned
Protection Factor of 20.
The STRATA RESPIRATOR can only provide this
level of protection when used with filters
provided by STRATA.
The STRATA RESPIRATOR is
manufactured under ISO 9001:2000 Quality
System.
3. Preconditions for use:
This Respirator must be used strictly
in accordance with this instruction leaflet
and the instructions supplied with the
corresponding head-units (hoods).
The user must read and understand all
the following "Instructions for Use" well to be
able to use the respiratory protective system
correctly.
When the blower unit is switched off little or no
respiratory protection is to be expected. When
the blower unit is switched off a rapid buildup of
carbon dioxide and depletion of oxygen within
the head unit may occur and so it is essential
not to use the blower unit when itisswitched
off.
THE UNIT MUST NOT BE USED:
x In an atmosphere that is immediately
hazardous to user hygiene or health and /
or has oxygen content of less than 17%
or contains unknown substances.
x In confined spaces or unventilated areas
such as tanks, pipes, canals etc.
x Near to flames and or sparks
x In areas with danger of explosion.
x In an area where there are high winds.
x If the blower unit stops working due to any
reason, the user must leave the contaminated
area immediately.
x If no filter is installed.

DW7000
It is also essential that:
x Nothing is allowed to touch the moving parts.
x There is no attempt to modify or alter the unit
or filter in any way
x Water or other liquids enter the unit in any
way – in particular the motor and fan, the
filter or the battery.
Make sure that the headpiece fits the user's face
perfectly. Only then the efficiency of the system
is sufficient. The protective factor of the
complete system is reduced if the seal of the
headpiece is not fitted properly, for example due
to beards or long hair intervening into the seal
line. There is a possibility that the hose to the
head unit may become caught up in use. The
blower unit should be positioned on the person in
such a way as to reduce this possibility.
Filters cannot be fitted directly to the head units
and should not be adapted to do so. Correct
respiratory protection will not be provided if any
parts of the equipment are modified.
At very high work rates the pressure in the
device may become negative at peak inhalation
flow. STRATA RESPIRATOR systems are for use
only by competent, trained personnel. Filters
should not be modified to fit different blower
units.
ATTENTION! If any of these conditions is not
kept or followed, the warranty automatically
invalid.
The user is advised to leave the
contaminated area immediately if:
The Manufacturer’s Minimum Design
Flow (MMDF) warning Alarm sounds.
Breathing becomes difficult.
Dizziness or distress occurs.
Any part of the system becomes damaged.
Airflow into the Head-Unit decreases or stops.
Contaminant can be smelt or tasted inside
the Head-Unit
Materials that may come into contact with
the user’s skin are not known to cause
allergic reactions to the majority of individuals
but in the unlikely event of a reaction, the
user should immediately leave the
contaminated area, remove the unit and
seek medical advice.
4. System Overview:
The STRATA Respirator unit is a belt mounted
powered respirator with a replaceable,
disposable high efficiency particle filter system.
The helmet covers head sizes from 535 to
600mm circumference.
The STRATA Respirator unit contains a
removable 8hr rechargeable battery pack.
The STRATA Respirator unit will warn the user
when the MMDF of 170 L/min, is not achieved
with its audible alarm.
In operation once the alarm sounds, the user
must immediately leave the work area and
reach an area nominated to be safe. The unit
has audible and visual alarms for a low battery
and a blocked filter. Depending on the fault, the
user should replace the Pre Filter with a new
one (In very dusty environments the Pre Filter
will need changing frequently) and or re-charge
or change the battery for a fully charged one. If
the blocked filter alarm continues to sound the
main filter should be changes. Only when the
unit will function with the alarm switched off
and the flow rate has been tested to be
acceptable, should the user return to the work
place.
The filter has been developed especially for this
unit. It is used to filter the air the user will
breathe. It is essential that the user checks the
filter for any signs of damage or deformation
that could potentially let contaminated air into
the unit. The filter must be disposed of if the
filter is damaged or if clogged to the point of
triggering the systems alarm mechanism.
The removable rechargeable battery used is a
Lithium Ion cell. When supplied the battery may
hold a small charge, the unit should be run flat
and then charged for sixteen hours before the
first use.

5.2.2. Particulate Filter:
Use only STRATA RESPIRATOR filters and Pre
Filters as supplied by Strata.
It should first be ascertained by consulting an
occupational hygienist or by calling the
manufacturers technical help line as to whether
or not the STRATA RESPIRATOR Filter will offer
suitable protection from the hazard.
The respiratory power unit is equipped with a
high efficiency particle filter of class P R SL and
a Pre Filter.
As soon as the warning alarm sounds, the pre
filter should be exchanged or checked. In very
dusty area's this can be necessary on a frequent
basis.
The filters must be regularly checked (see Air
Flow Test) and replaced.
Make sure that the new filters are within their
expiry date, unused and not evidently damaged.
From the hygienic point of view the maximum
working time of a main filter is 180 hours and
should not be exceeded.
It is prohibited to clean the filters by any
procedure!
5.2.3. Removing the Filter:
Opening the filter cover: Grip the cover on the
right hand side and pull the cover open.
ATTENTION! It is strictly forbidden to use any
tools to open the filter cover.

6. Before use:
6.1 Inspection before use:
Each time before starting work check that:
- All components are in good condition with no
visible damage (like holes, tears etc) Replace any
damaged or worn parts. Carefully examine the air
hose, seals and the face piece.
- There is a good connection between the air hose
and the headpiece as well as the blower unit.
- There is sufficient air flow (see 6.2.)
- The air is supplied through the whole respiratory
system from the blower to the hood.
- Charge the battery before the first use. (See 6.3.)

either the low speed 180 l/min or the high speed
220 l/min. The speed denoted buy the lit LED and
the fan symbol. You can change the speed by
pressing the ON/OFF switch. Only by depressing
the ON/OFF switch for several seconds will stop
the unit.
The unit ensures a constant supply of air. The
microprocessor inside the unit automatically
regulates the motor speed to compensate the filter
clogging and the battery state. If the
microprocessor cannot keep the adjusted airflow,
the unit will sound a 'beeping' alarm (an acoustic
signal can be heard). At which point the user must
check the blower unit. if possible, the
microprocessor automatically reduces the airflow
to the lower level, if it fails to meet the lower level,
the alarm will still sound. When the airflow falls
below the minimum safe operating level, a second
audible alarm joins the first. At this point, the user
must stop working at once, leave the working
environment and reach an area nominated to be
safe and change the filter or recharge/change the
battery.
To check the battery: When first starting the unit,
the battery LED must show red – this shows a fully
charged battery. It is recommended that only a
fully charged battery should be used when starting
a work shift.
With a fully charged battery in place, the unit
should function normally, but if the audible alarm
still sounds, the user must change the filter. If the
problem still persists, see section 10 for additional
suggestions.
