To completely activate the VPS push the side slider completely upwards (Fig.12B).
Precautions for Use
The current approval standards (ECE22-05) state that the visor minimum light
trans-mittance 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 nec-
essary, 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 manoeuvres 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 opera-
tions 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 order
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.
Pro-tracted 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-re-
sistant treated VPS quickly reduces sharpness of vision, thus causing scarce
visibility: in this case, deactivate the VPS.
