    Liteflip Autopilot. Look into the future.

    The Optrel Liteflip Autopilot is a lightweight flip-up welding helmet designed to make welding a more comfortable and relaxed experience, thanks to an automatic shade level adjustment with a fantastic range. Tasks of manually adjusting the shade level are no longer a necessity, as the welding helmet automatically darkens as soon as your welding arc kindles. The Optrel Liteflip Autopilot is also capable of automatically adjusting to any changes in lighting in your working environment.

    • Autopilot with shade level 1 / 4 / 5 to 14
    • True colour view due to special developed UV-/IR-filter
    • Patented twilight function opens the ADF slowly from dark to light state
    • With only 530g weight, one of the lightest flip-ups on the market
    • Perfectly combined with Optrel e3000 PAPR System

    CE and EAC certification applied.

    Optrel Liteflip with e3000X System Parts FAQs

    Lenses, seals, connectors, batteries and filters for a flip-up welding helmet used with a powered respirator, and how to pick and look after them.

    Which parts of a flip-up powered-respirator helmet wear out and need replacing?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    A flip-up helmet has more moving and wearing parts than a fixed-front one. The outside cover lens takes spatter and scratches first, then the inside cover lens and sweatband, while the face seal and headgear wear with daily use. The hinge or pivot of the flip-up front can loosen or crack, and hose connectors can wear where they are clipped on and off. On the blower side, filters and the battery wear.

    Check each part before every shift and replace by condition. Outside cover lenses are changed most often and inside lenses less often, but how often depends on your process, hours worked and the manual, so follow the maker's schedule.

    What does the adaptor or connector between the hose and helmet do, and what should I check?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    It joins the breathing hose to the helmet or blower so that filtered air reaches your face. Because all the air passes through it, a worn, cracked or loose connector can leak air, reduce the flow reaching the helmet and trigger the low-airflow alarm.

    Before each shift, check that the connector locks as the manual describes, that any seal or O-ring is present and undamaged, and that the hose is not kinked, cracked or trapped. Replace a damaged connector or hose rather than taping it, and use only the connector type your manual lists for your unit.

    Why does the face seal matter on a powered helmet, and when do I replace it?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    A powered helmet is loose-fitting. Instead of sealing tightly to your face, it relies on a steady flow of filtered air building pressure inside to keep contaminated air out. The face seal closes the gap around your face and neck and helps hold that pressure. A torn or stretched seal can let air escape and fume in, and can make the blower work harder.

    Inspect it every shift and replace it when it is torn, stiff, stretched or hard to keep clean. There is no single interval for every helmet, and heavy use or dirty conditions shorten its life, so follow the replacement advice in your manual.

    Do I need head and neck protection, and will it affect the helmet's air seal?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Leather head and neck protection covers gaps around the helmet where sparks and spatter could reach your hair, scalp and neck, which can matter for overhead work or heavy spatter. Your welding risk assessment decides whether you need it.

    Check the product notes before choosing: some versions are made for specific helmets, and some are marked as not suitable for use with a powered unit because they can interfere with the seal, the hose or the airflow. Fit it as the manual shows, make sure it does not block the air path, and replace it when it is burnt, stiff or damaged.
