of visibility and protection guaranteed by the approved helmet visor.
To deactivate the VPS, push the side slider completely downwards (Fig. 13 A).
To activate the VPS, push the side slider completely upwards (Fig. 13 B).
Precautions for Use
The current approval standards (ECE22-05) state that the visor minimum light
transmittance levels must be greater than 80% when riding at night and not less
than 50% when riding during the day. For this reason, when riding during the day
under particularly bright weather conditions, e.g. very strong sunlight caused by
high intensity and/or incidence of the sunbeams, the use of sunglasses - which
have a transmittance much lower than 50% - turns out to be advisable, if not
absolutely necessary, to reduce eye fatigue on long trips. Sunglasses also reduce
the risk of direct dazzling as opposed to the use of mere approved helmet visor.
However, the use of sunglasses makes it difficult to perform emergency manoeu-
vres when the maximum visibility range of the visor must be quickly restored. Just
think, for example, of what happens when you enter a tunnel or when unexpected
changes in environmental brightness occur. Thanks to its operating mechanism,
the VPS makes these operations much easier.
WARNING
-
Use the special slider to activate/deactivate the VPS; do not deactivate the
VPS by handling it directly.
-
The VPS can only be used during the day and under the environmental condi-
tions described before.
At night and/or in conditions of poor visibility, the VPS must be deactivated.
-
-
Always check that the VPS is properly positioned according to different weath-
er/environmental conditions and/or the above-mentioned recommendations
for use.
-
We recommend using the VPS only and solely together with the approved
standard visor, which has a transmittance value greater than 80%.
-
The VPS does not replace the protection guaranteed by the visor.
-
Always make sure that the VPS is clean and that it is operating properly in or-
der to avoid scratches and/or anomalous wear on it every time it is activated.
-
As for VPS and visor maintenance and cleaning operations, please refer to the
appropriate section in the helmet user's manual.
-
The VPS scratch resistant/fog-resistant treatment highly reduces fogging.
Protracted periods of adverse weather and/or environmental conditions might
cause fogging and/or formation of condensation on the VPS, which entails a
reduction of visibility and/or sharpness of vision: in this case, deactivate the
VPS.
-
In case of rain, the direct contact of raindrops with the scratch resistant/
fog-resistant treated VPS quickly reduces sharpness of vision, thus causing
scarce visibility: in this case, deactivate the VPS.
-
The special VPS fog-resistant treatment is usually sensitive to high temper-
atures or heat sources. In this case, contaminations caused by contact with
other materials might occur. These contaminations will cause marks and
stains to develop. In these cases (e.g. when the helmet is kept in the top case
on hot days), it is recommended to make sure the visor is not touching other
materials.
