N70-2 GT
At any time, without operating the visor, the VPS can be deactivated with a simple
movement and easily lifted up to restore the normal conditions of visibility and protec-
tion guaranteed by the approved helmet visor.
1.1 To activate the VPS, move the slider as in Fig.14 until you hear a click confirming
that the VPS is in the desired position.
The VPS is adjustable in a range of intermediate positions to ensure the best
comfort for the user with respect to the terms of use.
1.2 To deactivate the VPS, press the recovery button as shown in Fig.15 until the VPS
unlocks and moves automatically to standby position.
2 PRECAUTIONS FOR USE OF VPS
The current approval standards (ECE22-05) state that the visor minimum light transmit-
tance levels must be greater than 80% when riding at night and not less than 50% when
riding during the day. For this reason, 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 entail a transmittance much lower than 50% - turns out to
be advisable, if not absolutely necessary. This in order to reduce eye fatigue on long
trips. Sunglasses also reduce the risk of direct dazzling as opposed to the use of mere
approved helmet visors. However, the use of sunglasses makes it difficult to perform
emergency manoeuvres when the maximum visibility range of the helmet 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 conditions
described before.
- At night and/or in conditions of poor visibility, the VPS must be deactivated.
- Always ensure that the VPS is properly positioned according to different weather/
environmental conditions and/or the recommendations for use outlined above.
- We recommend using the VPS only and solely together with the approved stand-
ard 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-resist-
ant 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 temperatures
or heat sources. In this case, contaminations caused by contact with other mate-
