Technical Datasheet 3MTM PeltorTM X Series Ear Muffs Product Description Key Features Products Included: Headband version:- X1A, X2A, X3A, X4A and X5A Helmet mounted version:- X1P3, X2P3, X3P3, X4P3 and X5P3 * Modern, attractive low profile design The 3M Peltor X Series range of passive ear muffs are available in headband and helmet mounted version. These products are designed to provide moderate to very high level of attenuation and meet the needs of an extensive range of industrial applications. When correctly selected and worn these products help reduce exposure to hazardous levels of noise and loud sounds. The helmet mounted version is designed to fit a wide range of industrial safety helmets and rigid head top s. NOTE: The headband version is electrically insulated - sometimes referred to as `dielectric'. The metal components of the headband have been covered by non-conductive material for use in a low voltage electrical hazard (less than 440 V ac). As there are no applicable standards for testing ear muffs against electrical insulating properties, the product has been evaluated at an external laboratory against a modified test method based on EN397:1995. During assessment, the leakage current did not exceed 1.2mA when the external surface of the product made contact with an electrical source. The user must determine the overall suitability of this product for the intended application taking into account any hazards other than noise for which this product is tested and CE approved. * Light-weight * Twin headband design for greater balance and increased comfort * Electrically insulated wire headband for greater and reliable protection * Soft wide cushions help reduce pressure around the ears and improve comfort and wearability * New innovative damping pads and spacer that helps improve attenuation * New patented sealing ring foam technology for effective seal and protection * Large space inside cup helps reduce moisture and heat build-up * Easy to replace cushions and inserts help keep them hygienically clean * Helmet mounted version fits directly to many industrial safety helmets Materials Component Headband Version Helmet Mounted Version Headband and headband cover/ sleeve Stainless steel wire, TPE, Polyester, Polypropylene, Acetal N/A Helmet Attachment Arm N/A Stainless steel wire, Acetal, Polyamide Cups ABS/TPU ABS/TPU Insert (Liner) PU Foam PU Foam Cushions and Cushion Covers PU Foam and PVC PU Foam and PVC Helmet Mounted Version Approved Combination Helmet Brand Model Number P3 Adapter Size Combination X1P3 X2P3 X3P3 X4P3 X5P3 3M G500 Headgear E S/M/L S/M/L S/M/L S/M/L S/M/L 3M G22 E S/M/L S/M/L M/L S/M/L L 3M G2000 K* S/M/L S/M/L S/M/L S/M/L M/L 3M G3000 E S/M/L S/M/L S/M/L S/M/L M/L 3M VersafloTM M-106 and M-107 AF* S/M/L S/M/L S/M/L S/M/L S/M/L 3M VersafloTM M-306 and M-307 AF* S/M/L M/L M/L S/M/L L Auboueix/Seybol Kara E S/M/L S/M/L S/M/L S/M/L M/L MSA V-Gard 500 E S/M/L S/M/L S/M/L S/M/L S/M/L Peltz Vertex Best E M/L M/L M/L M/L L Protector Style 300 E M/L M/L M/L M/L M/L Protector Style 600 E S/M/L S/M/L S/M/L S/M/L M/L Key: *Adapter to be ordered separately.
