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

Hoods SR 601/SR 602 together with the fan unit SR 500/
SR 500 EX/SR 700 are included in the Sundstrom fan-assisted re-
spiratory protective device system conforming to EN 12941:1998
and the Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) system conform-
ing to AS/NZS 1716:2012 (Fig. 1). SR 601/SR 602 can be used
together with fan unit SR 500 EX in explosive atmospheres. The
breathing hose must be connected to the fan unit equipped with
filters. The above-atmospheric pressure generated in the head
top prevents particles and other pollutants from being admitted
into the breathing zone.
1.2 Applications
The SR 601/SR 602 together with fan SR 500/SR 500 EX/
SR 700 can be used as an alternative to filter respirators in all
situations in which these are recommended. This applies parti-
cularly 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),
18
Hoods SR 601 and SR 602
• 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
• The head-tops must not be used together with protective films
in potentially explosive atmosphere.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
