1. General information
Use of a respirator must be part of a respiratory protection pro-
gram. For advice see EN 529:2005 or AS/NZS 1715:2009.
The guidance contained in these standards highlights im-
portant aspects of a respiratory protective device program but
does not replace national or local regulations.
If you feel uncertain about the selection and care of the equip-
ment, consult your work supervisor or get in touch with the
sales outlet. You are also welcome to get in touch with the
Technical Service Department at Sundström Safety AB.

1.1 System description

• The SR 561 (Fig.1) protects the respiratory organs, head and
shoulders
• The SR 562 (Fig. 2) protects the respiratory organs and top of
the head
• Replaceable hood of Tyvec
• Visor of PETG
• The air supplied keeps the visor demisted
• Adjustable head harness
• Adjustable neck seal (SR 561) and face seal (SR 562)
• Flexible breathing hose (SR 569)
• Equipped with exhalation valve (SR 562).
Hoods SR 561 and SR 562 can be used together with fan unit
SR 500 EX in explosive atmospheres. SR 561 and SR 562 may
also be used together with the standard fan SR 500/SR 700 or
compressed air attachment SR 507 but in this case only in en-
vironments which are not potentially explosive. Before use,
these user instructions and those for the fan units, filters and
compressed air attachment must be thoroughly studied. Con-
nect the breathing hose to the fan, which is equipped with fil-
ters. The positive pressure generated in the head top prevents
particles and other pollutants from entering the breathing zone.
1.2 Applications
The SR 561/SR 562 together with fan SR 500/SR 500 EX/
SR 700 or compressed air attachment SR 507 can be used as
an alternative to filter respirators in all situations in which these
are recommended. This applies particularly to work that is
hard, warm or of long duration. When selecting the head top,
some of the factors that must be taken in to account are as
follows:
• Types of pollutants
• Concentrations
• Work intensity
• Protection requirements in addition to the need for respira-
tory protection device
Risk analysis should be carried out by a person who has suita-
ble training and experience in the area.

1.3 Warnings/Limitations
Note that there can be national differences in the regulations for
use of respiratory protective equipment.
Warnings
The equipment must not be used
• If the fan is not running. In this abnormal situation, the equipment
will provide no protection. In addition, there is risk of carbon
dioxide quickly accumulating in the head top, which would lead
to oxygen deficiency.
• if the pollutants are unknown,
• In environments that are immediately dangerous to life and
health (IDLH),
• In environments where the ambient air is oxygen-enriched air or
does not have a normal oxygen content,
• if you find it difficult to breathe,
• if you can smell or taste the pollutants,
• if you experience dizziness, nausea or other discomfort.
Limitations
• If the user is exposed to very high work intensity, negative pressure
may occur in the head top during the inhalation phase, which
may involve the risk of leakage into the head top.
• If the face seal is not in contact with the face (SR 562), the head
top will not be pressurized as necessary for providing the correct
protection factor.
• The protection factor may be reduced if the equipment is used
in surroundings in which high wind speeds occur.
• The equipment must seal against the face in order to ensure
that the hood will be pressurized as necessary for preventing
leakage into the hood. This may be difficult to achieve if the user
wears a beard or sideboards.
• Make sure that the breathing hose does not form a loop that
could hook onto some object in your surroundings.
• Never lift or carry the equipment by the breathing hose.
