Protection
The Helix Pure Air automatic welding filters are classified to EN 379. The 2.5 and CLT versions use optical classification 1/1/1/2, while Quattro uses 1/1/1/1. Optrel also specifies maximum UV/IR protection across the protection-level range.
Respiratory protection is configuration-specific. The headtop forms part of a NIOSH-approved e3000X PAPR configuration only when used with the approved Optrel blower, filter and system components.
