Product Description
Products Included:
Headband version:- X1A, X2A, X3A, X4A and X5A
Helmet mounted version:- X1P3, X2P3, X3P3, X4P3 and X5P3
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
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.
