Packaging & Storage
Each ErgoS Intec helmet is packed in a re-usable protective bag, with supporting
item information and sold individually.
When not in use or during transportation the helmet must be stored in the
protective bag provided.
Protect the helmet against mechanical damage, scratching, compression,
sunlight (UV), humidity, exhaust gases, etc.
During storage or transport, the face shield should be retracted inside the
helmet.
Do not place the helmet in the direct vicinity of windows or car windows.
Keep the helmet away from any sources of heat.
The recommended storage temperature is 20±15°C.

Cleaning & Maintenance
If the helmet or face shield becomes dirty or contaminated, particularly their
external surfaces, they should be thoroughly cleaned in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations as follows below:
Helmet:
• The hard hat and face shield should be cleaned after each use and be cleaned
only with soap and water.
• Do not use any solvents, detergents and abrasives for cleaning.
• The sweatbands must be regularly cleaned and can be removed as follows:
- The sweatbands are fixed to the main strap – front sweatband (1) and
the back strap – back sweatband (2) using Velcro fasteners.
- To remove the sweatband, unfasten the six Velcro points, which fasten
it around the headband.
- Reinsert the back sweatband, fasten around the main strap and separate
them from the regulator by gently pulling them.
ARC ERGOS 28
Description
The Dromex BSD ErgoS Intec Power is a helmet with an integrated visor
intended to protect the head against injuries caused by falling objects,
projected droplets of molten metal, electric shock and electric arc hazards.
The electric shock hazard is classified as class 0 (1000 V) EN 50365:2002 and
class E (20 kV) ANSI/ISEA Z89.1:2014, offering protection from the flow of
electric current through the head.
The integrated face shield protects the user against short-circuit electric arc,
impact of particles with medium energy, UV radiation and the risk of projected
solid objects and liquids. It is not suitable for working with chainsaws or
grinding machines.
The ErgoS Intec helmet and visor features the following:
• Ergonomically designed for all day work.
• An integrated helmet with visor and chin guard.
• The helmet is equipped with an adjustment system (increment every 1mm)
which enables a user to change its length depending on the circumference of
the head at the range between 53cm and 63cm and also enables adjustment
of wearing height.
• A retractable face shield which easily retracts back into the helmet and
ready to be used at a moment’s notice.
• A rear ratchet hand wheel in the helmet liner for easy adjustment and
custom fitting of the helmet on the head.
• The visor has colour reproduction of more than 93% and an outstanding
service life.
• The visor has a permanent anti-fog coating.
Suitable for use by electricians, it is recommended in particular as personal
protection equipment to be used during work on live equipment, work at
heights and work on electrical connections.
Special Instructions
• In the event of an impact, fall, appearance of cracks or perforations, the hard
hat must be disposed of and replaced immediately.
• Do not modify or remove any of the original helmet components.
• This electrically insulating helmet cannot be used as the only personal
protective equipment during live work.
• Depending on the risk assessment involved, it is necessary to use additional
protective equipment in addition to the helmet.
• The manufacturer accepts no responsibility in the event of any modifications
of the equipment performed without its permission and in the event of any
additions or replacement of accessories that have not been approved by the
manufacturer or do not constitute a part of the original hard hat and not
adapted to live work.
• Do not apply paint, varnishes, etc. to the hard hat or visor of face shield.
• Do not stick self-adhesive labels on the helmet or face shield without the
consent of the manufacturer.
• Do not use solvents, detergents and abrasives to clean the helmet or face
shield.
• The helmet must not be thrown, dropped or used as a support.
• Before starting work, check that the electrical limits for helmets correspond
to the voltage rating and category or class of hazards that may occur during
use.
• The face shield only protects against hazards when it is completely lowered
during use.
• Do not use headgear, warmers, etc. under the helmet, which have not been
tested in combination with the helmet. Using the wrong headgear can
significantly reduce the level of protection.
• Use only balaclavas recommended by the manufacturer with the helmet.
• Keep the face shield, in particular the transparent visor, clean.
• None of the materials used in the manufacture of the face shield are known
to adversely affect user hygiene or health.
• Susceptible individuals may experience an allergic reaction to those parts
of the face shield that encounter with the wearer's skin. If this is the case,
leave the hazard area, remove the face shield and seek doctor's advice.
• The helmets should not be used in situations where the voltage or risk is
higher than the specified voltage on the helmet and visor.
• Follow procedures of live work as required by the organization.
• The additional weight of the helmet visor combination, which is worn over a
longer period of time by the wearer, can contribute to faster fatigue of the
head and neck muscles.
• Keep all product packaging and protective films out of reach of children due
to suffocation risk.
