With the Helix Quattro, Optrel offers a welding helmet for work under the most difficult conditions.

    • Panorama XXL field of view
    • Shade levels 7-12
    • Inactive shade level 2.5
    • ShadeTronic®
    • Fadetronic
    • Rechargeable battery unit with charging via welding arc

    Product Details

    The new internal flip-up welding helmet with a panoramic field of view.

    With the Helix 2.5, Optrel offers a welding helmet for work under the most difficult conditions. A slide-up helmet with internal ADF that has all the technical features of an Optrel helmet.

    ShadeTronic - Always the right shading level. Fully automatic, stepless, safe. A light sensor continuously measures the intensity of the welding arc and regulates glare protection across the entire shading level range.

    Panorama-XXL-field of view - The patented nose cut-out brings the glare shield closer to your eyes. The result: a much larger field of vision and a clear separation between the mouth and eye area, which also prevents tarnishing of the protective lens.

    Fadetronic - Fade-out when switching off the protection level after welding. Wellness for your eyes for fatigue-free work.

    Fronius Welding Helmets FAQs

    Answers for buyers choosing and looking after Bluetooth-enabled auto-darkening welding helmets, including those used with a powered air system.

    Why choose a welding helmet with a powered air system?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Welding fume is a health risk, and the HSE says that for arc welding a powered or supplied air respirator is the preferred option, ideally one that combines respiratory, eye and face protection with an assigned protection factor of at least 20. A helmet designed to work with a powered air unit gives you that combined protection in one piece of kit.

    Tight-fitting masks can become uncomfortable, and people then loosen or remove them. A powered system blows filtered air across the face, which many welders find easier to wear for a full shift. Check the unit's data plate and manual to confirm it suits the helmet you choose.

    How do I check a powered air unit before I start welding?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Follow the maker's pre-use checks every time. These normally include a look at the filters, hose and seals for damage, checking the battery level, and testing the airflow with the flow meter or indicator supplied. Many units also have a low-airflow warning, and if yours does you should confirm it works as the manual describes.

    Do not weld if the airflow check fails or the warning does not work. Replace blocked filters as the manual describes, and keep a spare charged battery if you weld for long periods. The exact test method differs between units, so use the instructions that came with yours.

    How often should a reusable powered respirator be examined?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Reusable respiratory protective equipment needs regular thorough examination and, where appropriate, testing, carried out by properly trained people following the maker's instructions. The HSE's guidance on respiratory protective equipment says this should be monthly, or every three months if the equipment is used less often, with records of examinations, tests and repairs kept.

    This is separate from the quick check you do yourself before each use. Your employer or safety adviser should set the programme from the maker's instructions and your risk assessment, and worn hoses, seals and filters should be replaced promptly rather than waiting for the next scheduled examination.

    What does a shade range of 5 to 12 mean?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    The shade range shows how dark the lens can be set when the arc is lit. A lower number lets through more light, which is helpful for low-current work where you need to see detail, while a higher number is darker and suits higher currents. A wide range lets one helmet cover a variety of jobs.

    The right shade depends on the process and the welding current, and it is normally taken from the shade selection table in the relevant standard or the helmet manual. If the process you use needs a darker or lighter shade than the range allows, that helmet is not suitable for it.
