VPS operation
The VPS mechanism allows you to activate the sunscreen 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, independent of the visor, the VPS can be deactivat-
ed with a simple movement and easily pulled up to restore the normal conditions of vis-
ibility and protection guaranteed by the approved helmet visor.
To deactivate the VPS, push the slider towards the bottom of the helmet (Fig. 4A) until
you hear the click, which means the slider and VPS are correctly in place.
To activate the VPS, push the slider upwards (Fig. 4B) until you hear the click which
means the slider and VPS are correctly in place.
The VPS has been designed to ensure an easy, quick and tool-free disassembly.
Precautions for use
The current approval standards (ECE22-05) state that the minimum light transmittance
levels must be greater than 80% when riding at night and not less than 50% when rid-
ing 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 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 emer-
gency 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 mech-
anism, the VPS makes these operations much easier.
WARNING
- The VPS can be used only during the day and under the environmental conditions
described before.
- At night and/or in conditions of scarce visibility, the VPS MUST be deactivated.
- Always check that the VPS is properly positioned according to the different
weather/environmental conditions and/or to the above mentioned recommenda-
tions 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 doesnʼt 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.
- Please refer to the proper section in the helmet userʼs manual for the VPS and visor
maintenance and cleaning operations.
