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.
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.
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.

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
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.
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.
Miner
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.
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.
Intrinsically Safe Integra
As per Integra, use E345 charger. Do not charge in an explosive atmosphere.
Miner
Locate cap lamp in battery charging rack and charge for required length of time.
Visor
To remove
For the P1 Visor adjust the visor until mid-way between the open and closed position. Pull the visor
off each orange pin located underneath the ear defenders, away from the pivot arm (de-snap) and
carefully remove the visor from the shell of the helmet. For the P2 Visor remove the visor in the same
way but firstly remove the black stud from each side of the ear defender surround to release the face
seal.
To replace
For the P1 Visor snap the visor onto the pivot arms by pushing it over the orange pins when at the
mid-way position. Check to ensure that the new visor moves freely. If not, repeat the steps described
above. For the P2 visor replace the visor in the same way but then secure the material of the face
seal to the side face seal flaps found on the side of the ear defender surround using the black studs.
Foam face seals
To remove
Pull out white studs located on the ear defender surrounding. Remove cradle bracket from strongring
and remove complete face seal from cradle and disregard.
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.
