Kapio S4 Airkos

Key Advantages

The Kapio* S4 combines several key arguments:

The excellent ergonomics provides perfect protection of the forehead, the ears and the neck.

Equipped with side vision in shade DIN 5 , the Kapio® provides a 160° vision to the welder, for improved safety and advanced comfort. These side vision are made out of transparent shade DIN 5 polycarbonate.
In each graphic version, the Kapio* is available with or without these side vision.

The Kapio® S4 is equipped with the longitudinal headgear with 4 settings: height, width, angle, and longitudinal adjustment for welders operating with corrective glasses.

The 4 arc sensors are associated to a very fast switching speed of 0,2ms for a flawless detection of the welding arc, with all welding processes.
With excellent 1/1/1/2 optical classes, the liquid crystals of the S4 provide a perfect vision of the fusion during welding.

Inside stepless knobs allow the welder to select the welding shade (from DIN 9 to DIN 13), to adapt the sensitivity of the 4 arc sensors, and to adjust the delay according to the welding application.

The Kapio® shell and all its polycarbonates are certified for grinding with the specific norms EN 166 B and EN 175 B. When selecting the Grind mode, all 4 arc sensors become desactivated and the GRIND LED flashes. The operator is then able to grind with a clear shade DIN 4.

The Kapio® S4 is available in 5 graphic themes: Gangster, Blue, Black, Metal and Jeans.

When associated to the Airkos®, the Kapio® S4 helmet provides the filtration of Solid and Liquid Particules (PSL). The bolted and flame retardant face seal guarantees a limited TH2 inward leakage inside the headtop. The main filter on the Airkos® is classified as « Re-usable » (PRSL), and does not need to be replaced after every shift. The visual and sound alarm will inform the operator when to replace the filter.

The PRSL filter of the Airkos® is equipped with a pre-filter, blocking the largest particules and extending the lifecycle of the main filter. As an option, a pre-filter with active charcoals is available.

The Airkos® blower unit (PAPR) is approved and certified according to the EN 12941 standard, with and only with the Kapio® headtop. Cf certificate below :

Completing the alarm for the clogged filter, the filtration unit is also equipped with a distinctive alarm for the battery, informing the operator when the charge is running low.

The Airkos® is delivered with a standard 4-cell Lithium-ion battery. A heavy-duty battery with 6 Lithium-ion cells is also available. When equipped with the standard battery (CR7020), the Airkos® can provide up to 10 hours of operating time (with a new filter and on minimum airflow). Once equipped with the heavy-duty battery (CR7021), the Airkos® offers up to 15 hours, under the same conditions.

According to the welding application, the close environment and the operator’s habits, it is possible to select between 2 airflows on the Airkos®. 180l/m is the minimum airflow. With a simple push on the control knob, the unit increases the airflow to 220l/m.

A very large and padded belt provides an excellent comfort and a perfect support of the blower unit. As options, a padded harness and/or a belt extension are available to complete the existing belt.

Each Kapio® S4 Airkos is delivered with its own storage bag. The Airkos® storage bag is perfect for transport and stock of buffer spare parts.
