Peltor Protac II User manual

Tactical
Protac II, Tactical XP

Two-way communication
Three alternatives are available for two-way communication via com
radio, mobile or DECT telephone:
Headset
The ProTac and the Tactical XP come in a standard headset model with
a separate adapter. The PTT button is located on the separate adapter.
Flex headset
The ProTac and the Tactical XP in a Flex headset model is a solution
without an external adapter. The PTT button is on the shell. Jackable
cables enhance flexibility, since you can connect many kinds of
equipment using a range of cords. Flex cords are available for most
devices on the market.
Wireless Bluetooth headset
The ProTac WS headset uses the Bluetooth worldwide standard for
wireless communication. The headset can communicate wirelessly with
another unit that has the Bluetooth standard. The headset and the
other unit can be 10 metres apart without losing contact.
A PTT button and a Bluetooth configuration button are positioned on
the left shell. If a connected mobile phone has voice dialling, you can
use the headset microphone for this.
If your communication radio does not have Bluetooth, Peltor has
developed Bluetooth adapters, the FL6000 series, which can be used
for many of the most common devices on the market.
Bands/Attachments
Peltor hearing protectors are available with a range of attachments
and bands: Headband, neckband, helmet attachment and collapsible
headband.
Attenuation
Peltor hearing protectors can be divided into five different categories,
depending on their attenuation.
The attenuation level of the ProTac and the Tactical XP fall under
category four, which is symbolized by a die with four dots. This means
that the protectors are suitable for high and medium high-frequency
noise in the range of RNR* 94-105dB.
Active-volume function
Both the ProTac II and the Tactical XP are equipped with an active-
volume function that lets you hear ambient noises: conversations,
machine sounds, warning signals, etc. Soft sounds are amplified, so
you hear them even better than you would without hearing protectors.
Two microphones pick up ambient noises and reproduce them in full
stereo, so you can tell what direction they come from. Sudden impulse
noises at harmful levels are immediately attenuated.
An electronic valve detects the noise and attenuates it to a harmless
level. When the noise fades, the electronics automatically go back to
the listening function. A summing function ensures that the combined
sound level from the active-volume function and from connected exter-
nal equipment does not exceed a given level.
Reliable long and short-distance
communication
* (* RNR = Recommended Noise Rating)

FL5000 Headset adapters

mobile phones on the market.

Key functions like effective attenuation, comfort and better sound
reproduction have come a step closer to perfection with the Peltor
ProTac II. The ProTac II is now also available as a Bluetooth headset.
Active-volume function
With the ProTac, you are not shut off from the environment, which can
be both dangerous and inconvenient. You always hear what is going on
around you, and you know that your hearing is protected.
Easy and logical to use
The control panel is on the right shell. The buttons are easily accessible
and logically positioned. They make it easy to adjust ambient noise.
Another feature is the power-saver function. If no buttons are pressed,
the hearing protector switches off automatically after two hours, which
eliminates the risk of wearing out the batteries due to forgetfulness.
A warning signal is emitted when the battery is low.
You can also connect the hearing protector to a telephone or
communication radio, so you can always be reached while you work.
The ProTac with speech microphone and a flex cord, separate adapter
or Bluetooth provides complete two-way communication.
WS ProTac headset with Bluetooth
The ProTac WS uses the Bluetooth worldwide standard for wireless
communication. The headset can communicate wirelessly with another
unit that has the Bluetooth standard.
The headset and the other unit can be 10 metres apart without losing
contact. A PTT button and a Bluetooth configuration button are
positioned on the left shell. If a connected mobile phone has voice
dialling, you can use the headset microphone for this.
If your communication radio does not have Bluetooth, Peltor has
developed a Bluetooth adapter, the FL6000 series, which can be used
for many of the most common devices on the market.
ProTac headset with cord connection
The ProTac also comes in a standard headset model with a separate
adapter. In this case, the PTT button is located on the separate adapter.
The Flex headset model of the ProTac has the PTT button on the shell.
A flex headset lets you easily switch between a com radio, DECT or
mobile phone just by switching cords.

Active-volume function with new possibilities
As with other Peltor active-volume hearing protectors, users can hear ambient
noise: conversations, machine noises etc. Soft sounds are amplified, so you hear
them even better than you would without hearing protectors. At the same time,
sudden impulse noises at harmful levels are immediately attenuated.
But the Tactical XP isn’t like other active-volume hearing protectors. Different
kinds of noise differ in character, direction, impulse, frequency and volume.
The Tactical XP uses a new, revolutionary digital circuit that lets the user control
and monitor the active-volume function, adapting the qualities of the protector
to the situation and environment. The active-volume function on the Tactical XP
also amplifies weak sounds better than any other Peltor protector.
The Tactical XP is equipped with many functions that further improve your
opportunities to hear what you want to hear while remaining protected from
harmful noise. Each function and its settings are indicted by a voice message.
Volume
As with the precursor to the Tactical XP, the user can adjust the volume of the
active-volume function.
Balance
Adjust the balance of the active-volume function. Especially beneficial for users
with hearing loss in one ear.
Reset time
The user can adjust the length of time it takes for the active-volume function to
return to normal, to two different levels. Normally, you want the reset time to be
as fast as possible, but in some situations – with an echo effect or frequently
recurring impulse noises, you may want to extend the time.
Equalizer
The equalizer function lets the user filter the ambient noise, improving or cutting
out the noise on a certain frequency. This lets you hear the sounds you want to
hear more clearly.
Volume on externally connected equipment
In extremely noisy environments, limiting the sound level from external
communication equipment to 82 dB can make it hard to understand, or in
some cases even hear, important information. The Tactical XP allows the user
to increase that limit from 82 dB to 89 dB, in order to improve the sometimes
vital communication in extremely noisy environments.
Since 89 dB is somewhat higher than the maximum permitted exposure over 8
hours according to the European standard, 85 dB, this mode must not be used
continuously. External communication coming in from a com radio or phone
over the course of a working day is usually well below the maximum permitted
exposure.
See the instruction manual for more detailed information on exposure time at
various input signal levels. A warning message is played when the higher level
is set. The electronics return automatically to standard mode when the product
is switched off.
