Welding Headband Clips – Mount a Rugged Headset to 3M 9100 Welding Headbands

Welding headband clips: overview

These welding headband clips attach the rugged assisted reality headset (RealWear Navigator 520) to 3M 9100 series welding headbands.

The headset can be worn alongside 3M 9100 eye protection without modifying either device, so welders keep instructions and remote support in view.

The pack contains one pair of head-mount clips.

Choosing the right accessories

For the rugged headsets (Navigator 520 and Z1), choose a mount that matches your site rules: brand-specific hard hat clips give the firmest fit on MSA, Honeywell, Petzl, 3M and Japanese helmets; the universal hard hat band fits most other front-brim hard hats; the Workband 2, Tri-Band Strap and Overhead Band are for use without a hard hat or under a bump cap; and the ball cap suits outdoor, light-duty work.

For power, the Navigator 520 uses hot-swappable 2600 mAh batteries: pair spares with the single-bay charger and a Quick Charge 3.0 USB-A adapter. The lightweight headband model (Arc 3) charges over USB-C or on its desk/wall charging station, powered by a USB-C Power Delivery adapter.

For connectivity and sensing, the Mini LTE Modem adds 4G where there is no Wi-Fi, and the thermal camera module adds FLIR thermal imaging to the Navigator 520. Remember that only certified accessories keep the Navigator Z1 intrinsically safe.

Setup and use

1. Fit the clips to the 3M 9100 headband.
2. Attach the headset.
3. Adjust the display so it does not interfere with the welding shield.

Care and maintenance

Wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth, keep it away from solvents and excessive heat, and inspect it regularly for wear. Replace it as soon as it no longer holds or protects as it should.
