General information
The SR 530 Hood can be used together with the SR 500 Powered
Air-Purifying Respirator system of components to provide respiratory
protection against certain particulates, organic vapours, acid gases
and other inorganic gases.
Refer to the NIOSH Approval Label for a list of approved
components and NIOSH cautions and limitations. Before use, these
user instructions and those for the SR 500 PAPR, cartridges, filters
and compressed air attachment must be thoroughly studied and
understood.
Breathing air is supplied to the respiratory protection inlet covering
(e.g. hood, face shield) from a breathing hose connected to the fan
unit containing the appropriate canisters or filters. The pressure
generated in the face shield prevents particles and other pollutants
from entering.
The respiratory protection inlet coverings can also be used with
compressed air equipment. This combination forms a breathing
apparatus designed for continuous air flow from a compressed air
supply.
The face shield can be used in all situations for which an air-
purifying respirator is recommended. This applies particularly to
work that is hard, warm or of long duration.
When selecting equipment for SR 530 some of the factors that
should be taken into account are as follows:
•
Type of pollutant
•
Concentrations
•
Work intensity
•
Protection requirements in addition to respiratory protective advice.
Risk analysis should be carried by a person who has suitable
training and experience in the area.
Instructions for use for SR 530 should be read before use.
