INTRODUCTION
The welding helmet LCD 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 flow through a tube straight into the helmet. The flow of purified 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 filter (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 flow.
