VISION PROTECTION SYSTEM (VPS)
The exclusive inner VISION PROTECTION SYSTEM (VPS) is a LEXAN™ (*) polycarbo-
nate moulded sunscreen with scratch-resistant/fog-resistant treatment. Very simple
and practical to use. Just lower to activate it or lift 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 innovative fastening system allows you to assemble and disassemble
the sunscreen without the need for any tools for ordinary maintenance and cleaning
operations.
VPS Operation
The VPS mechanism allows 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, without operating the visor, the VPS can be deac-
tivated with a simple movement and easily lifted up to restore the normal conditions
of visibility and protection guaranteed by the approved helmet visor.
To deactivate the VPS, push the side slider completely downwards (Fig. 8A).
To completely activate the VPS push the side slider completely upwards (Fig. 8B).
The VPS is adjustable in a range of intermediate positions to ensure the best com-
fort for the user with respect to the terms of use.
Precautions for Use
The current approval standards (ECE22-05) state that the visor minimum light tran-
smittance 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 inten-
sity and/or incidence of the sunbeams, the use of sunglasses - which have a tran-
smittance much lower than 50% - turns out to be advisable, if not absolutely neces-
sary, 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 bri-
ghtness 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 condi-
tions described before.
- At night and/or in conditions of poor visibility, the VPS must be deactivated.
