Scott Safety Duraflow Anleitung Seite 2

INTRODUCTION
Duraflow is an intelligent, powered air purifying respirator (PAPR) that works with
both combination and particulate Scott Safety filters. With the correct filters,
Duraflow protects against the inhalation of harmful dusts, mists, fumes, vapours, or
gases, especially where protection is required for long periods, and is of particular
benefit in hot or humid environments. The powered flow of air to the headtop
that Duraflow provides is a more comfortable alternative to conventional negative
pressure facemasks.
Duraflow is a durable, impact resistant PAPR, with a shower proof construction that
has LED icons to provide information on the operational status of the PAPR.
When in use, filtered air from the Duraflow PAPR enters the hose, travels to the
headtop and exits through the face-seal or exhalation valve. Duraflow features
real time flow control, measuring true airflow through the PAPR, and insuring a
consistent airflow.
To form a complete PAPR system, combine Duraflow with the appropriate filters,
hose, battery pack, and headtop. Before you select a headtop and filters, establish
the intended application, the hazards that are likely to be present, and any personal
preference.
You must undertake a comprehensive risk assessment and consider additional
protection, other than respiratory, that you may require. For example, eye and
hearing protection.
Duraflow has two battery pack options: a standard battery and an extended battery.
Duraflow has two filter ports for replaceable filters, both ports must always have
matching filters mounted to ensure protection.
Duraflow has a fully adjustable waist belt and is compatible with many belts and
harnesses.
Duraflow is approved to EN12941:1998+A2:2008.
Full details of suitable filters and all Duraflow PAPR systems are available from
Customer Services at Scott Safety.
Note: Full details of protection factors for Duraflow PAPR systems are available
within the relevant headtop user manual.
Limitations to use:
This product must only be used by trained persons that are fully aware of prevailing
workplace hazards.
Do not use the Duraflow PAPR with hazards that pose a risk of immediate danger or
health (IDLH).
Wind speeds in excess of two metres per second may affect the level of respiratory
protection that is expected from the equipment.
