1.1 Introduction

Thank you for your purchase of the Walter Surface Technologies, 

ARCONE® AIRPLUS®

 Powered 

Air Purifying Respirator (

ARCONE

®

  brand 

electronic Auto­Darkening Filters (lenses). See the enclosed Respirator Approval Label for a 
complete list of lens assemblies. 
The 

ARCONE

®

 AIRPLUS

®

 

PAPR

 system blows a supply of filtered air over the welder’s face, 

creating a protective positive pressure inside the face seal that keeps out harmful particulates and 
mist. The 

PAPR

 system is engineered for safety, function, and lightweight comfort. To  ensure your 

safety and complete satisfaction with the 

ARCONE

®

 AIRPLUS

®

 

PAPR

 system, please read these

brand Auto­Darkening Filters User Instruction Manual that accompanies your Headtop.

1.2 Operating Principles

The 

ARCONE

®

 

AIRPLUS

®

 

PAPR

 system is used in an environment requiring protection against 

harmful particles and mist. Used in conjunction with an 

ARCONE

®

  Auto­Darkening Filter and 

welding helmet, it eliminates wasted motion and discomfort associated with welding. You will receive 
a constant flow of fresh air, which will allow you to comfortably remain safe in your work environment 
for a longer period of time, and is of particular benefit where working conditions are hot or humid.

The 

ARCONE

®

 

AIRPLUS

®

 7800 mAh battery provides power for two (2) eight (8) hour shifts on low 

fan. These rechargeable batteries are encased in durable lightweight plastic and attach securely to 
the blower unit. The charging time for a fully discharged battery is 5­7 hours. The battery may be 
received partially charged and should be fully charged before use.
(Section 2.2 Battery Charging.) 

The 

ARCONE

®

 

AIRPLUS

®

 HE filter is designed to be used with the blower unit. Make sure your 

PAPR

 system is fitted with a filter appropriate to the application and selected by a competent person 

with a full knowledge of respiratory hazards, and their concentrations that are applicable in the 
workplace. To ensure adequate protection, it is essential that the blower unit is correctly configured 
and that the correct filter is used. (Section 2.3 Filters.)
