When working in the forest and landscape maintenance, the highest priority is safety. Personal protection, especially head protection, but also communication with colleagues are essential for this. With the new helmet set ADVANCE X-Vent ProCOM, STIHL now combines these two aspects: protection for head and ears plus an innovative communication system that can network up to 16 people. In the process, the noise from work is actively attenuated so that users can talk to each other even in noisy environments, such as in a conference - and that over a distance of up to 600 meters. For example, users can also hold a phone conversation without having to take their smartphone in their hand. Even streaming music on the smartphone is among the possibilities. In addition, this helmet set with great wearing comfort and optimal ventilation is equipped with a metal visor that allows a lot of light through, essential for excellent visibility even in dim light conditions.
The helmet set ADVANCE X-Vent ProCOM combines the protection of a helmet with the innovative ProCOM hearing protectors with built-in conference system. This enables a direct duplex connection between up to 16 users. This allows you to communicate with each other safely and comfortably even in noisy environments. The range between two users is up to 600 meters with each headset acting as an amplifier, increasing the overall range. Wireless communication devices that are usually hand-held can also be integrated into the wireless communication network.
The ear muffs of the helmet set ADVANCE X-Vent ProCOM have a high noise reduction value (SNR 30) to provide effective protection against the engine noise of the machines. The metal visor lets a lot of light through, thus increasing user safety, as do the numerous reflective stickers. The helmet set is very comfortable to wear, especially thanks to its low overall weight and optimal balance. The practical rotary knob allows you to adjust the headband without removing the helmet, and the ventilation system reduces thermal stress.
Equipped with active noise reduction, the earmuffs allow conversation even when the chainsaw is running. Thanks to the listening function for ambient noise, the user can also hear warning signals without removing the earmuffs. In addition, the user can also connect his own smartphone to the helmet set via the wireless interface to make a phone call or listen to music, for example, without having to hold his cell phone. The intelligent audio function ensures that incoming calls are prioritized and heard by the user. The system is powered by a lithium-ion battery with up to 17 hours of operation.
