VISION PROTECTION SYSTEM (VPS)
(If this accessory/spare part is purchased separately: this component is available
in two different sizes according to shell size (SMALL or LARGE). Please ask your
Nolan dealer to assist you in selecting the right size.
The new and exclusive inner Vision Protection System (VPS) is a
screen with scratch-resistant and fog-resistant treatment. Using it is very simple and
practical: Just lower it to activate it or lift it to remove it from the field of vision. It is useful
in all sorts of situations, both on long journeys out of town and shorter town trips.
Moreover, the fastening system allows you to assemble and disassemble the sun screen
without any tools to allow ordinary maintenance and cleaning operations.
VPS OPERATION
The VPS mechanism allows activating the sun screen easily and without operating on the
visor, by simply lowering it until it partially covers the visor field of vision. In this way, the
desired light transmittance reduction is achieved. At any time, without operating the visor,
the VPS can be deactivated with a simple movement and easily pulled up to restore the
normal conditions of visibility and protection guaranteed by the approved helmet visor.
To activate the VPS, push the slider forward (Fig. 11) until you hear the click, which means
the slider and VPS are correctly in place.
WARNING
-
The VPS can be adjusted in two positions to ensure the best comfort for the
user: the first click allows for a slightly higher position of the VPS; the second
click – (up to the limit stop) – allows for fully lowered position of the VPS.
To deactivate the VPS push the recovery button (Fig. 12) until the VPS unlocks and moves
automatically in standby position.
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 visors. However, the use of sunglasses makes it difficult to
perform in emergency situations 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
