Since the Optrel Satellite was launched, most welders cannot imagine life without this comfortable helmet.  The Satellite really is near to perfection, not only with regard to comfort and safety, but also where additional functions are concerned.

The DIN 4/5-9/9-13 protective level function gives the welder the freedom to use different materials and welding processes.  Other options enable the helmet to be individually adapted to the needs of the welder.

• 1 - Adjustable sensor slide eliminates the effects of ambient light distractions with configurable detection angles of 60°or 120°.
• 2 - Button to select shade level ranges: DIN 5-9 and DIN 9-13.
• 3 - Variable shade level control between DIN 5-9 or DIN 9-13.
• 4 - Grinding mode to prevent automatic darkening when grinding and brazing.
• 5 - Sensitivity control to adjust the sensors ability to detect the welding arc.
• 6 - Selectable opening delay to provide protection from the afterglow and to adapt to personal needs.

Standard functions in a top quality helmet.

Thanks to the extremely high quality filter and the use of the Expert helmet shell, the welder benefits from excellent optics, shade selection plus comfort and protection advantages.

The welder can select the protection level according to his requirements using the slide switch on the rear of the cartridge.  It can be set to either DIN 10 or DIN 11.  The detection angle for ambient light can be selected using the sensor bar.

Welding requires complete concentration.  This is no problem with the Optrel Orion: the unique sensor technology allows the welding cartridge to automatically select the protection level and constantly adapt it to the welding application using the intensity of the arc during the welding process.

The user can select “Auto” or “Manual”.  In the “Manual” setting, the user can select the protection level that is best for him.  He can adjust the shade setting as required to ensure the most comfortable shade level at all times.

If the welder selects “Auto”, the helmet automatically adapts the protection level to the current arc intensity.  He can also use the fine adjustment to adjust the automatically selected protection plus or minus one shade level to satisfy his individual needs without the fear of any problem of eye damage.

The Optrel OSC has been on the market for more than 10 years and is still number one with many welders.  The simple, but pleasing shape of the OSC, together with the high quality DIN 9-13 cartridge, offers long-lasting and reliable protection.

Thanks to the large protection level knob on the outside of the helmet, the protection level can be changed easily without removing the helmet even when wearing gloves.

In boiler construction, automobile assembly and many other branches of industry, there is often a lack of light in the work area.  The welder generally works in the dark until he strikes the welding arc, which could lead to costly damage of components.  Sometimes light sources cannot be used due to the location or considerable costs for installation may be required.

This problem can be overcome, thanks to the Optrel Helios.  Three green LEDs integrated into the helmet illuminate the welding object during the preparation.  As soon as the welding arc is ignited, the LEDs switch off automatically in order to prolong the life of the rechargeable battery.  The DIN 9-13 cartridge enables protection for various applications and ensures complete comfort.
