[Deltaplus BARRIER 2 Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet] is personal protective equipment (PPE) designed to protect the welder's face and eyes from harmful agents during arc welding, including ultraviolet (UV) rays, infrared (IR) rays, high temperatures, sparks, and spatter. A key feature of this helmet is the use of an Auto-Darkening Filter (ADF), which allows users to see the workpiece clearly when there is no arc, and the lens automatically darkens instantly when an arc occurs, ensuring eye safety without the need to constantly lift and lower the mask.

Deltaplus BARRIER 2 Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet Highlights:
- Automatic Darkening Adjustment: The auto-darkening filter automatically switches from a light state (usually DIN 4) to a dark state when an arc is present, with a wide shade adjustment range (typically DIN 9 to DIN 13) suitable for various welding methods and current intensities.
- Versatile: Can be used for many common welding methods such as MIG, MAG, TIG, Plasma, and also for grinding work (grinding mode with lower shade, typically DIN 5 to DIN 9 or DIN 4 depending on adjustment).
- High Optical Quality: Often achieves high optical classification (e.g., Optical Class 1 according to EN 379), providing clear and true vision, minimizing eye fatigue during prolonged work.
- Multiple Independent Sensors: Equipped with 4 independent sensors, increasing the sensitivity and rapid response of the ADF even in difficult welding conditions or obscured positions.
- Adjustable: Allows adjustment of Sensitivity, Shade selection, and Switching time to suit each job and user preference.
- Hybrid Power Source: Uses a combination of solar energy and battery (typically a replaceable CR2032 battery), extending battery life.
- Low Battery Indicator: Features a low battery warning light, helping users proactively replace the battery to ensure continuous operation.
- Durable Design: The helmet shell is made of heat-resistant and impact-resistant Polyamide or Polypropylene material.
- Replaceable Outer Protective Lens: Easy to replace the outer protective lens when scratched or damaged by welding spatter.
- Compliance with Safety Standards: Meets important safety standards such as EN 166, EN 175, EN 379, and ANSI-ISEA Z87.1.
Applications The Deltaplus BARRIER 2 Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet is widely used in industries and work environments related to metal welding and cutting, including:
- Heavy and Light Industry: Manufacturing, fabrication, repair of machinery and steel structures.
- Construction: Structural welding, site repairs.
- Automotive Industry: Body repair, parts manufacturing.
- Maintenance Work: Repairing equipment and machinery.
- Mechanical Workshops and Metal Processing.
- Welding Vocational Training.
Notes for Use:
- Pre-use Inspection: Always inspect the helmet and ADF before each use to ensure there is no damage (cracks, breaks, heavy scratches). Replace immediately if any issues are found.
- Check Auto-Darkening Function: Before starting welding, check if the filter automatically darkens when exposed to bright light (not direct sunlight) or when testing with an arc.
- Select Correct Shade: Adjust the filter shade to match the welding method and current intensity you are using. Refer to standard shade guide tables if necessary. Using inappropriate shade can harm the eyes.
- Grinding Mode: When switching to grinding mode, ensure the filter is locked in the light state (DIN 4) for clear vision while grinding. However, note that in grinding mode, the lens still protects against UV/IR, but not against the bright glare from a welding arc.
- Periodic Battery Replacement: Pay attention to the low battery indicator and replace the battery (CR2032) as needed to ensure reliable auto-darkening function.
- Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and corrosive chemicals. It is recommended to keep it in a storage box or protective bag when not in use.
- Cleaning: Clean the helmet and filter according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically using a soft, clean cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Avoid using solvents or abrasive materials.
- Do Not Use for Other Hazards: This welding helmet is designed to protect against welding hazards. Do not use it for other protection purposes outside its specified scope.
- Face Fit: Ensure the helmet fits comfortably and securely on the head, completely covering the face and eyes so that no arc light leaks in.
The Deltaplus BARRIER 2 Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet is an effective and convenient protective device for welders. With its rapid auto-darkening capability, wide shade range, good optical quality, and flexible adjustment features, it helps ensure safe eye and face protection in various welding and cutting tasks.
