Face Seal
If the visor face seal becomes torn or damaged in any way you must immediately replace the
face seal assembly. To fit, follow the instructions given for the P1 visor. For P2 face seal
replacement, remove the black stud on either side by griping the face seal behind the stud
and pulling away to de-snap. Carefully peel away the face seal from the visor to detach
Velcro. Fit your new face seal by placing evenly onto visor Velcro and pressing down to
ensure a seal is obtained on the visor. Attach each side of the face seal to the ear defender
surround by inserting the black stud through the face seal hole and snapping the stud into
the hole provided (either side) below the top white stud.

A thorough visual examination of all parts of the helmet should be made. Any defects should be
remedied before further use.
Cleaning
Any helmet with visible damage e.g. a cracked or pierced shell should be replaced.
This helmet is made to absorb the energy of a blow by partial destruction or damage to the shell and
the harness or protective padding, and even though such damage may not be readily apparent, any
helmet subjected to severe impact should be replaced.
The helmet and all it’s parts should only be cleaned with warm water and a soft cloth.
Do not use organic solvents.
Do not attempt to clean the filter, replace on a weekly basis.
Do not immerse in water.
Do not apply paints, solvents, adhesives or self adhesive labels to the helmet except those approved
by the manufacturer.
Only clean the product in safe areas.
Any helmet which is two years beyond its manufacturing date should be replaced.
This helmet should not be modified in any way.
In the power off state this helmet will offer no respiratory protection and there may be an immediate
build up of carbon dioxide - this is to be considered an abnormal situation.
At very high work rates the pressure in the device may become negative at peak inhalation flow.
At very high wind velocities it is possible that the respiratory protection may not be at its optimum
potential.
Storage
Store in a clean dry place at an ambient temperature.
Maximum limits of storage (including filters) –5°C to +55°C. Relative humidity <90%.
This device is only to be used in atmospheres with normal oxygen content.
Only use intrinsically safe products in explosive atmospheres.
Fault Location

be cut/modified to accommodate the spectacle arms. This can best be accomplished by cutting
the face seal at the required level with a pair of scissors (see below).
To fit
1. The EH1 is for mining applications only and is Category M1 equipment, i.e. may be
used irrespective of the presence of explosible concentrations of firedamp.
Cut away the surplus material until a suitable fit is achieved with scissors. Carefully remove only a
little at a time, as a gap of more than 2mm will seriously reduce the respiratory protection offered by
the helmet.
2. The integra is for mining applications and is category M1 equipment, i.e. may be used
irrespective of the presence of explosive concentrations of firedamp. It is also for non-
mining applications and is category 1G equipment, i.e. may be used in zones 0, 1 and 2
with flammable gases and vapours assigned to apparatus groups IIA & IIB and with
temperature classes T1, T2 & T3.
P2 Integra System
P2 Systems are fitted with an elasticated fabric face seal. No adjustment of this face seal is
necessary or desirable.
Visor/Respiratory System - operating method
Integra
To operate the respiratory system, grip the tag at the bottom of the face seal and pull down in a
one-handed operation. The visor in the down position will then trigger the motor and start the air
flowing through the helmet. The airflow will automatically cease if the visor is not secured in the down
position.
3. The electrical circuits of the EH1 and Integra are only certified for use in ambient
temperatures in the range -20°C to +40°C and should not be used outside this range.
4. Only the battery charger recommended by the manufacturer shall be used.
Miner
5. The equipment has not been assessed as a safety-related device (as defined by
Directive 94/9/EC Article 1.2 and referred to in Annex )) , clause 1.5).
To operate the respiratory system, attach the Oldhams cap lamp and battery to the helmet. The cap
lamp should be fitted to the helmet in the same way as the cap lamp is positioned on the charging
rack, i.e. a push twist and turn motion. The air flow will commence as soon as the lamp is attached to
the helmet. To lower the visor, simply grip the visor in the centre and pull down in a one handed
operation.
6. Maintenance shall only be carried out by suitably-qualified personnel and, where
applicable to due electrical aspects of the helmet, only replacement parts supplied by
the manufacturer shall be used.
Method of charging battery
Integra
Locate charger plug into battery socket at rear of helmet and charge for a minimum of 12 hours and a
maximum of 16 hours - do not overcharge. Use E345 charger for Integra battery.
7. Repair of this equipment shall be carried out by the manufacturer or in accordance with
the applicable code of practice.
8. The battery pack charger must not be supplied (under normal or abnormal conditions),
from a source of potential, with respect to earth, in excess of 250Vrms or 250Vdc.
Intrinsically Safe Integra
As per Integra, use E345 charger. Do not charge in an explosive atmosphere.

It is important in order to achieve proper ear defender protection that the ear defender cushion sits
securely around your ears. When you receive your helmet, the cushion will be located centrally
around the hollow in the ear defender. You may need to move the cushion around the cup to affect
the best seal around your ear. If so, peel off and reposition until a comfortable and effective seal is
made.
Ear defenders are supplied in pairs; each cushion is designed specifically for the left or right ear lobe
- ensure the correct cushion is used on each side.

To ensure respiratory effectiveness it is important to form a seal between the visor and your face with
the face and visor seals. The seal has been manufactured to accommodate the dimensions of an
average face. It is important that the seal fits as closely as possible to your face. Ideally it should be
just touching the skin and should be checked prior to each use.
This device has been designed for use by wearer’s with or without spectacles. If spectacles are
worn beneath the visor, in some circumstances impacts may be transmitted through the eye
wear enclosed by the visor. For the ultimate in respiratory protection, the side face seals should
