FR12 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS This user’s manual includes information on the operation of the equipment and the precautions to be followed for the user’s safety. Please read it carefully before rst use and keep it in a safe place for future reference. These instructions must be read and understood before any operation. Any modication or maintenance not indicated in the manual must not be undertaken. Any damage to persons or property caused by use not in accordance with the instructions in this manual shall not be borne by the manufacturer. In the event of a problem or uncertainty, consult a qualied person to handle the product correctly. Use the welding helmet only for eye and face protection against harmful ultra violet and infrared radiation, sparks and spatter from welding. Never look directly at welding arcs without eye protection when the arc is initiated. Failure to do so may cause painful inammation of the cornea and potentially irreversible damage to the lens which may result in cataracts. Look out! Danger of injury if a person wearing a mask and goggles is hit by particles thrown at high speed. The mask, lter and shields do not guarantee unlimited protection against major shocks or impacts, explosive mechanisms or corrosive liquids. Avoid welding or cutting in these severe environments. Do not weld or cut above his head with this mask. Move his face away from the smoky area. Use forced ventilation or local exhaust to remove smoke. Oxyacetylene, laser or gas welding and cutting is not permitted with this mask. Before each use : - Carefully inspect the mask and its UV/IR lter. - Replace worn or damaged parts immediately. - Replace lter lenses or face shields if they are cracked or scratched to prevent damage to the user’s eyes.

EN13 The headband can potentially cause allergies in sensitive individuals. The operating temperatures of the optoelectronic lter are from -5°C to +55°C. The opto-electronic lter in the mask is not waterproof and will not function properly if it has been in contact with water. The welding mask must be moved carefully to avoid damage to the lter, guards and/or protective shell. Maintenance : - Do not place heavy objects or tools on or in the facepiece to avoid damage to the lter or face shields. Mask storage temperatures range from -10°C to +60°C. - Clean the Optoelectronic Filter with a clean cotton or special lens cloth. - Regularly clean and change the guard screens. - Clean the inside and outside of the mask with a neutral detergent-disinfectant. Do not use solvents. - Make sure that the sensors and cell are not obstructed by dust or debris. - We recommend using the mask and visors for 5 years. The length of use depends on various factors such as type of use, cleaning, storage and maintenance. BEFORE WELDING - Check that the welding helmet is in good condition and headband adjustment. - Check whether the front cover lens, the front frame and lter are inserted and xed in place. In case of anomalie, please proceed to its reconditionning. - Make sure that the sensors and the cell (2) are not obstructed by dust or debris.- Make sure that the protection lms on both screens are removed. - Check that the protection level matches your welding processes. Please refer to the following chart to help your choice (cf. wel- ding process board) INTRODUCTION The welding helmet GYSMATIC 9/13 XL and 5/13 XXL the air purifying/repiratory unit combine to form a face and breathing protection device for increased safety and comfort. Base on the principle of overpressured air circulation, the respiratory protection system is mounted on a waist belt and delivers a regulated air ow through a tube straight into the helmet. The ow of puried air creates an overpressure, thus preventing the outside air from going into the helmet. The complete system is a class TH2 P R SL breathing apparatus. The system is delivered as standard with a TH2 lter (ref. 038424). PRECAUTIONS

• The welding helmet is suitable for use with virtually all welding processes except Oxy-Acetylene welding, laser welding and gas welding.
• Standard protective screens must be installed on both inside and outside surfaces of the module. Failure to use protective screens may constitute a safety hazard or result in irreparable damage to the module.
• All components used in the respiratory system must be GYS approved parts and must be used in accordance with the instructions in this manual.
• The respirator must be stored in a dry and clean place in a temperature range of -10°C to +60°C and a relative humidity of less than 90%. • Caution! The breathing tube can become entangled and jammed in the surrounding area.
• At very high work rates, the pressure in the respiratory protective device may become negative at the time of maximum inhala- tion ow.

The concentration of carbon dioxyde increases and the oxygen level decreases, thus the system must not be used when it’s switched o. THE RESPIRATORY PROTECTION SYSTEM MUST NOT BE USED :

• in a dangerous environment for the user’s health and safety, an environment with an oxygen level below 17% or containing unknown substances.

• In conned or non ventilated environments such as cuves, etc.

• Near ames or projections.

• in an explosion risk zone.

• In a very windy zone.

• if the respiratory protection system stops working: the user must evacuate the contaminated area immediately.

• If the lter is not installed. IT IS ESSENTIAL :

• that nothing comes in contact or alters moving parts.

• do not try to modify the device or the lter.

• that no liquid or uid goes into the device – especially the motor, the liquid and the battery. Make sure that the hood (made of cloth) is properly postionned and not damaged. The ltration eciency depends on it. The protection level decreases if the hood is not postionned properply (big beard, long hair, etc). Make sure that the air hose is not obstructed or folded. The unit must be positionned behind the user to reduce these risks. The lter must not be installed directly in the helmet, nor modied. An eective ltration cannot be ensured if one or some of the lter’s parts are modied. The respiratory protection system must only be used by a qualied/trained user. The lter must not be modied to t other ltration units. If one of these recommendations is not followed, the warranty is automatically void. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO LEAVE THE CONTAMINATED AREA IF :

• the minimum air ow alarm beeps.

• breathing becomes dicult.

• a feeling of dizziness or loss of balance.

• one or several of the device’s parts are damaged.

• the air ow suddenly decreases or stops.

• contaminated air or elements are felt inside the helmet. UNPACKING

INSTALLING THE BATTERY / CHARGING

Remove the lter cover by pressing in the latch of the lter cover The lter cover is released. Remove the used lter by lifting it out from the lter cover. Remove the pre-lter. If the ltration grill is dirty, clean it (blower). The pre lter and lter expected lifetime is 12 months. When under intensive use, check the lter cleanliness periodically and if needed, change them more often than every 12 months.

Slide the battery towards the back of the ltration unit. Make sure that the battery is locked in position .

The battery can be charged on the ltration unit or separately. The battery is partially charged when delivered. It must be charged at a 100% (4 bars) before the rst use. It is recommended to charge the batteries at a 100% before each use. The charger must not be used for anything else than it was desgined for. Do not charge the battery in a potentially explosive area. The charger must only be used indoors. The charger regulates the charge automatically, once the battery is fully charged, it will maintain it at a 100% (oating charge). The charge time is 3 to 4 hours. The battery will discharge itself after long storage periods. Always charge the battery if the device was stored for more than 15 days. Once the battery is new or has been stored for more than 3 months, charge it and discharge it at least twice in a row to reach the nominal/rated charge capacity. Battery charge :

1. Connect the charger to the mains.

2. Connect the battery to the charger. The connector is above the battery.

3. The state of charge is displayed via a red LED on the mains charger.

4. Once the charge is nished, the oating charge becomes active: the red LED switchs o and a green LED switches on.

5. Disconnect the charger from the mains (do not keep the charger plugged to the mains if it’s not in use).

REPLACING THE MASK BATTERY

The opto-electronic lter requires 2 3V lithium batteries (CR2450). Follow the instructions below to change batteries: - Pull the cover (11) and then remove the battery. - Place a new battery in position. Polarity «+» must stay visible. - Put the cover back (11). - We recommend to replace the battery once a year. CAUTION - Recycle used lithium batteries. In Europe, batteries are considered as dangerous waste. - Do not throw in the bin. To drop o only in collection point for used batteries.

Lower the helmet by pulling the handle. Make sure that the hood is positionned properly, below the chin. To adjust the headband, refer to the instruction manual.

A knob located on the air duct, at the level of the headband, allows you to adjust the direction of the air in the mask. There are 2 possible settings: Air is directed at the user’s nose. Air is sent to the user’s cheeks. BEFORE USE Before each start, make sure that : - the parts are not damaged. Replace each damaged/worn out part. Check the hose and the reproof hood. - the good and secured connection between the hose and the ltration unit, and between the hose and the helmet. - the air ow is sucient - the air ow is constant between the ltration unit and the helmet. - that the battery is fully charged.
