Dear Sales Professional:

We are very excited to be launching what is the newest auto-darkening filter 3M™ Speedglas™ has to offer. The Auto-Darkening Filter 9100XXi is a welders window to a new world, This new lens will provide more realistic color and detail, which will help your customers weld, grind and see their finishes with greater precision.

The Key Features include:

• Brand New Optics
              o Which provides a view that appears lighter, brighter and more realistic
• Easy Upgrade
               o The 9100XXi ADF is compatible with all welding helmets in the 3M™ Speedglas™ Welding Helmet Series 9100. However, to access the grinding and memory modes, the silver front panel included in the 3M™ Speedglas™ AutoDarkening Filter Kit 9100XXi is required. This panel will only operate on Speedglas Welding Helmets 9100, 9100-Air and 9100-QR.
• Instant-On
              o “Grab and Go” feature automatically turns the welding filter on to your last welding setting whenever you pick up the helmet. Automatically shuts down after a period of inactivity.
• Fast Switching Between Welding and Grinding
              o One touch of an external button lets you switch between welding mode and shade 3 grinding mode.
• New Memory Modes
              o Push the external button for 2-3 seconds to access one of your two preset welding modes. Both memory modes have an individual setting for dark shade, light-to-dark switching sensitivity, and dark-to-light delay.
