Field Advantages and Compatibility

Speedglas FLP 9100XXi Technology - High Performance

The Speedglas FLP 9100XXi screen integrated in this kit offers one of the best ADF protections available on the market. With a switching time from light to dark state of 0.1 ms, it reacts almost instantly to the electric arc, protecting eyes and retina from intense radiation damage. The included Li-Ion battery provides extended autonomy, enabling full days of intensive welding without interruption for recharging.

High-Altitude and Reduced-Pressure Environments

The Adflo blower in this kit is specifically designed for high-altitude environments where atmospheric pressure is reduced. At altitudes above 1,500 meters, conventional filter respirators may become less effective due to increased breathing resistance. The Adflo compensates by maintaining a constant and adequate filtered airflow, ensuring effective respiratory protection even in challenging mountain conditions.

Maintenance and Lifespan Maximization

This kit represents a significant investment justified by its long-term durability and performance. To maximize its lifespan, strictly follow the 3M maintenance program: clean the Speedglas screen with compatible wipes, check seal integrity periodically, replace filters per recommended service life, and charge the Li-Ion battery per manufacturer instructions. Rigorous maintenance can significantly extend the effective service life of the system.

FAQ — frequently asked questions about this product

What distinguishes this kit from the model without ADF?

This kit includes the FLP 9100XXi auto-darkening photosensitive filter integrated into the Speedglas welding shield. The model without ADF (R38-1101-00SW) does not include a photosensitive filter and suits operators who prefer a passive shield or already own one.

What is the shade range of the FLP 9100XXi filter?

The Speedglas FLP 9100XXi filter offers an automatic shade range from 5 to 13, covering MIG, TIG, stick and plasma welding processes. The clear state displays shade 3, providing good visibility between weld passes.

Is the lithium-ion battery included?

Yes, a lithium-ion battery for the Adflo blower is included in this kit, along with the corresponding smart charger. The battery provides 4 to 8 hours of runtime depending on the selected airflow level.
