VarioProtect PANORAMA - Serie | Version 2.02 | EN

Operation

- People with particularly sensitive skin must be 

especially careful: Materials that can come into 
contact with the skin can cause allergic reactions.

- Check that the protection level corresponds to your 

welding process. If the helmet has operating pro-
blems, read the chapter "Troubleshooting". If the 
problem persists, stop using the helmet and con-
tact the person in charge or a dealer.

Operation

Application

Check the front cover to make sure it is clean and that 
the sensors on the front of the filter cassette are not dirty. 
Also check the front / rear covering glass and the snap 
lock of the front glass holder to make sure they are faste-
ned.

Step 1: Remove the protective film (if present) inside and 

outside the pane surfaces.

Before welding, the display filter is in a transparent and 
clear state, allowing a clear view on the workpiece. At 
the time of starting welding, the darkening filter automati-
cally switches from a clear to a dark state. At the time of 
stopping welding, the darkening filter automatically chan-
ges from a dark to a clear state.

Step 2: Set the operating mode to Welding.

Step 3: Use the shade selection button to set the correct 

shade number according to the welding current 
and welding procedure (see table in Fig.11).

Step 4: Adjust the sensitivity level. Stop welding and set 

the sensitivity level to high until the filter flashes. 
Then adjust the sensitivity a little lower.

Step 5: Set the delay time.

Step 6: Adjust the headgear according to your require-

ments.

Never make any modifications on the welding lens or 
helmet which are not listed in this manual.

Failure to observe these warnings and / or to follow all 
operating instructions may result in serious injury.

Please observe the following

- The automatic darkening filter must be equipped 

with an external protective plate to avoid irrepa-
rable damage.

- Immediately replace the scratched or broken lens 

frame as the protection is no longer present at the 
field of view.

- Replace the scratched or broken protective plate 

and do not bump the lens during replacement.

- Select the correct colour number according to the 

welding process before welding.

- The operating temperature range is between -5 ° C 

and 55 ° C. When the ambient temperature is 
below the lower limit, the response speed of the li-
quid crystal materials of the lens is slightly lower, 
other protective measures are not affected.

- Do not store the holding frame near a heat source 

or in a place with high humidity.

- Do not clean the holding frame with alcohol, petrol 

or a diluted solvent. and do not immerse it in water.

- Change the sweatband regularly.

- If this helmet does not darken when an arc is 

struck, stop welding immediately and contact your 
supervisor or dealer.
