The auto-darkening filter (ADF) is the heart and most expensive component of your Optrel visor. The 5000.212 outer glass acts as the first line of defense, protecting this sensitive component from the constant assault of hot welding spatter, sparks and accidental scratches. Regular replacement of the worn outer glass is absolutely crucial not only to maintain excellent visibility, but most importantly to extend the life of the ADF filter. By protecting it from mechanical and thermal damage, you avoid costly replacement of the entire filter. Investing in Optrel’s original protective glass is the easiest and most effective way to protect your investment in a high-quality visor. Professionals know that this protection is not worth saving on. 💰

One of the distinguishing features of the Optrel 5000.212 glass is its integrated seal (O-ring). This is not just a design detail, but an important functionality that increases the level of protection. The gasket ensures a tight fit between the glass and the visor body, creating an effective barrier. It prevents fine contaminants – dust, welding fumes and even microscopic splinters – from entering the space between the outer glass and the surface of the ADF filter. Keeping the ADF filter clean is crucial for its proper operation, responsiveness and image clarity. Thanks to the integrated gasket, the filter stays cleaner for longer, which means less frequent need for its delicate cleaning and less risk of accidental damage during this activity. It’s a thoughtful solution that any welder who cares about their equipment will appreciate. ✅

Optrel uses only top-grade materials. The 5000.212 lens is made of high-quality polycarbonate (PC), known for its exceptional impact resistance. This provides robust mechanical protection even in harsh welding conditions. Equally important, the polycarbonate used by Optrel is optically perfect – colorless and dist ortion-free. This guarantees a crystal-clear, unobstructed view of the work area, which is essential for welding precision and visual comfort. An additional scratch-resistant coating extends the life of the glass, allowing you to enjoy excellent visibility for longer. The glass also provides fundamental protection against harmful UV radiation. The curved shape of the glass not only blends well with the design of Optrel visors, but can also help deflect spatter and reduce glare. ✨

The great advantage of the Optrel 5000.212 external glass is its extremely wide compatibility with many of the brand’s popular visor models. It has been confirmed to fit the e640, e650, e670, e680, e684, Vegaview / Vegaview 2.5, Crystal 2.0, Satellite, Orion, OSE, Sphere and the Expert series in general. What’s more, the compatibility analysis of the internal high-speed (5000.001) strongly suggests that 5000.212 also fits the p530, p550, Liteflip, Y-Series and Ready models (although we recommend confirmation for these specific models). This high degree of standardization is a conscious design decision by Optrel that benefits both users and distributors. It simplifies spare parts management, reduces the risk of purchasing confusion, and ensures that a single package of visors can fit the various visor models used in the workshop. It’s convenience and confidence in choosing the right part. 👍

The outer glass is a typical consumable that wears out during operation and requires regular replacement. Optrel understands this very well, which is why it offers the 5000.212 windshield in a practical pack of 1 as standard. Such a supply allows for trouble-free operation for a longer period of time and ensures that you always have a new glass on hand when the old one wears out. For users who need a smaller quantity, there is probably an option to purchase 2 pieces under the part number 5000.210 (this is the same glass, the difference is only in the quantity). Replacing the glass itself is extremely simple and intuitive, designed to be done quickly, even in a workshop setting, without the use of specialized tools. This minimizes downtime and allows you to return to work immediately with perfect visibility. Buying a pack of 1 not only offers convenience, but often also a more favorable unit price. 🛒
