System Description

The 3M™ Versao™ Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) TR-800 Assemblies are part of the 3M™ Versao™ Family of respiratory protection products. The TR-800 PAPR assemblies are designed to be used with the 3M headgear listed on the approval label to form a complete National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) approved respiratory system. When used in accordance with its NIOSH approval, TR-800 PAPR assemblies help provide respiratory protection against certain gases, vapors and particulates. 3M™ Versao™ systems and components are for professional occupational use only. When fully assembled, the TR-800 is an intrinsically safe system for the following: Exia Division 1: IS Class I, II,

III; Division 1 (Includes Division 2); Groups C, D, E, F, G; T4, Ex ia I Ma, Class I, Zone 0, AEx ia IIB; T4 / Class I, Zone 0, Ex ia IIB; T4, Zone 20, AEx ia IIIC; T135°C / Zone 20, Ex ia IIIC; T135°C, -20°C ≤ Ta ≤ 55°C.

See the “NIOSH Approval” section in these User Instructions for additional information regarding approvals. The TR-800 belt mounted PAPR assemblies consist of a motor/blower unit, high efciency (HE) particulate lter or

combination chemical cartridge/HE lter, lithium-ion battery pack, and waist belt. The motor/blower unit draws ambient air through its lter/cartridge and supplies ltered air to the headgear via a breathing tube. For ease of use and training, most user interface points are colored yellow or blue. The blower provides three user selectable airow settings. It is equipped with automatic ow control; the motor airow is regulated during operation to compensate for the charge state of the battery, the increasing level of airow resistance caused by particle lter loading, and changes in air density due to changes in elevation and air temperature. Should the airow fall below the minimum design ow rate, an audible alarm will activate and the lter loading LED on the blower unit will ash red to warn the user to immediately leave the contaminated environment. Similarly, an audible and visual low battery alarm will activate when the battery pack has approximately 10-15 minutes of charge remaining to warn the user to leave the contaminated area.

Multiple cartridges are available for specic chemicals, grouping of chemicals, and chemical families. The effective use time (service life) of the cartridge will vary depending on your specic environment. Under the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Respiratory Protection Standard (U.S. 29 CFR 1910.134), it is the employer’s responsibility to ensure adequate worker protection including selecting the appropriate lter/cartridge for this PAPR system, and ensuring the cartridge is used within its service life. 3M provides free software to aid in lter/cartridge selection and service life calculations available at www.3m.com/workersafety.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION & ASSEMBLY

The 3M™ Versao™ Powered Air Purifying Respirator TR-800 System has multiple component options and optional accessories. At a minimum, each NIOSH approved conguration of this PAPR system should include approved headgear or facepiece, breathing tube, motor/blower, lter/cartridge, battery, and a belt or backpack. Common accessories include prelter/spark arrestor and lter cover. Refer to the supplied User Instructions for each of these components for additional information prior to use.

High Efciency (HE) Particulate Filter, Chemical Cartridge/Filter, Prelter, Spark Arrestor and Filter Covers

Always correctly use and maintain the lter/cartridge assembly. Failure to do so may reduce respirator performance, overexpose you to contaminants, and may result in sickness or death.

a. Inspect lter/cartridge and inner circular sealing gasket before each installation. Replace lter/cartridge if damaged

or if the circular gasket is damaged or missing. b. Always properly install the lter/cartridge into the blower unit. c. Keep inner circular sealing gasket clean. d. Never attempt to clean lters by knocking or blowing out accumulated material. Doing so will damage the lter media. e. Use of the spark arrestor is mandatory for welding and all situations where the 3M™ Versao™ Powered Air

Purifying Respirator TR-800 may be exposed to sparks, molten metal or other hot particulates. Failure to use the

spark arrestor when needed may allow the lter to catch re, or be damaged and allow contaminants to enter the

respirator and may result in injury, sickness or death. f. Store the lter as described in these User Instructions within the recommended storage temperature conditions

and observe lter expiration dates. g. The lter loading indicator is for particulate loading levels only. It does not provide any information about gas and

vapor service life. Attempting to use the lter loading indicator for gases and vapors may result in sickness or death.

The 3M™ Versao™ Powered Air Purifying Respirator TR-800 can be used with either a high efciency (HE) lter or combination chemical cartridge/HE lter. The available lter and lter/cartridge options can be found at www.3m.com/workersafety or in the TR-800 Components, Accessories and Replacement Parts guide.

Particulate Filter Loading

The 3M™ Versao™ Powered Air Purifying Respirator TR-800 Motor/Blower has a combination HE lter loading/low airow indicator (Fig. 12-5). This indicator is for particulate loading only; it does not apply to the service life of the carbon in the chemical cartridge for the combination HE lter/gas and vapor cartridges. With a new HE only lter, all LEDs on the indicator will light green. For certain combination HE lter/gas and vapor cartridges the inherent pressure drop, even on a new cartridge/lter, may prevent the top LED on the lter loading indicator from being lit. As the HE lter becomes loaded, the LEDs will begin to turn off. User must immediately leave the work area and the lter should be changed when the audible alarm or a red LED activates or when the chemical cartridge service life is exceeded- whichever comes rst. See the “Operating Instructions” section of these User Instructions for further information on the HE lter/low airow alarm.

Gas and Vapor Cartridge Service Life

The effective use time (service life) of a chemical cartridge (gas and vapor cartridge) will vary depending on your specic environment. The user must determine a service life period based on their specic work conditions. The 3M™ Service Life Software (www.3m.com/workersafety) may be able to assist user in this calculation.

Prelter/Spark Arrestor

Use of the foam prelter (3M™ Prelter TR-6600) and metal mesh spark arrestor/prelter (3M™ Spark Arrestor TR-662) is optional in many situations. They can be used individually or in combination. Both act by helping to block larger particles from reaching the main lter, and if changed (TR-6600) or cleaned (TR-662) frequently may help to extend the useable life of the main lter. The spark arrestor may be cleaned by rinsing it under water. NOTE: Use of the spark arrestor is mandatory

for welding and all situations where the 3M™ Versao™ Powered Air Purifying Respirator TR-800 may be exposed to sparks, molten metal or other hot particulates. Failure to use the spark arrestor when needed may allow the lter to catch re, or be damaged and allow contaminants to enter the respirator and may result in injury, sickness or death. The foam prelter and the metal mesh spark arrestor must be used with a lter cover.

⚠ WARNING

Filter Covers

Filter covers are available for each size of lter. Use of lter covers are highly recommended. Filter covers help protect the lter body and lter media from damage from external forces. The lter cover must be in place if operating the PAPR in a decon shower or while being subject to liquid spray. The lter cover helps the PAPR resist water spray directed towards the wearer, such as if going through a decon shower. The lter cover is required when using a prelter or spark arrestor prelter.

Install and remove HE lter, lter/cartridge, prelter, spark arrestor and cover

Install and remove the lter/cartridge in non-hazardous locations only.

1. Inspect the lter/cartridge to be installed:

• Filter/cartridge is intact with no tears, cracks, distortion or other damage.

• The inner circular gasket is present and intact with no tears, cuts or distortions. Wipe the lter seal with a clean cloth 5

if necessary. Dispose of and replace lter/cartridge if damage is noted or suspected. NOTE: The 3M™ Versao™ Powered Air Purifying Respirator TR-600/TR-800 Filter/Cartridge Assemblies have both an inner circular gasket (Fig.3-6) and outer rectangular barrier (Fig. 3-5). The inner gasket is the primary seal between the lter and blower. The outer barrier acts to keep dirt and debris from behind the lter.

2. To install the lter/cartridge:

• Conrm the TR-800 is powered off. Do not install or replace lter/cartridges while the motor/blower is running.

Option 1: Using the lter/cartridge with prelter/spark arrestor and lter cover.

Fig. 4 (Recommended for most applications). NOTE: Use the specied lter cover for the lter/cartridge. See “Specications” section for correct pairing.

• Hold the lter cover so it faces down (Fig. 4-1).

• (If required) insert the metal mesh spark arrestor/prelter into the cover, ensuring the cutouts are aligned properly (Fig.4-2).

• (If required) insert the foam prelter, ensuring the cutouts are aligned properly (Fig. 4-3).

• Insert the lter/cartridge into the lter cover ensuring the bottom latching tab snaps into place (Fig. 4-4). The lter/cartridge label must be visible in the cover window (Fig. 13).

• Place the hinge side of the lter/cartridge into the motor/blower (Fig. 5-1) and snap latch side into the lter latch (Fig.5-2).

• Gently tug on lter/cartridge to ensure proper attachment at both sides.

Option 2: Using the lter/cartridge without the lter cover.

(May typically be used in applications when lter/cartridges are changed very frequently to reduce potential for cross-contamination.)

NOTE: Using the lter/cartridge without the lter cover leaves it more susceptible to damage from external forces and liquid spray.

• Place the hinge side of the lter/cartridge into the motor/blower hinge (Fig. 5-1) and snap latch side into the lter latch (Fig. 5-2).

BATTERY PACK CHARGING & INSTALLATION

Battery Pack Charge Status

Battery pack charge status is indicated by pressing the indicator button on the top of the battery (Fig. 7). Number of bars illuminated indicates approximate battery pack charge capacity (5 bars: 80-100%; 1 bar: less than 20%) based on original battery capacity.

NOTE: As the battery pack ages, it will normally lose capacity. An older battery pack, or one that has been exposed to temperature extremes, may show less than 5 bars after completing a charge cycle (i.e. after a full charge as indicated by the battery charger, only 4 bars light indicating 60-80% of original capacity is available).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Power 3M™ Versao™ Powered Air Purifying Respirator TR-800 on

• Press and hold the smaller, yellow power button (Fig. 12-1) for 1 second. The unit will turn on and perform a self-diagnostic. The ow level, lter loading and battery charge indictors will blink, and the auditory alarm will sound. Battery indicator (Fig. 12-4) will show current charge status of the battery pack. Filter indicator will show remaining capacity of the lter (Fig. 12-5). Continuous blinking and/or sounding of any alarm indicates a fault condition

that must be corrected prior to use of the respirator system. If auditory alarm or visual indicators do not activate at start-up, do not use system. Remove from service and see your supervisor.

Select airow

• There are three user selectable airow settings- standard, medium, and high ow. The motor/blower will start at the standard ow setting. Pressing and holding the larger yellow ow control button (Fig. 12-2) for 1 second will cycle the motor/blower to the next of three ow settings. One beep and ow LED on the ow setting indicator (Fig. 12-3) indicates standard ow, two beeps and two ow LEDs indicate medium ow, three beeps and three ow LEDs indicate high ow. Pressing the ow control button once more cycles back to the standard ow setting.

Power 3M™ Versao™ Powered Air Purifying Respirator TR-800 off

Display Sleep Mode

To conserve battery power, the display will go into ‘sleep mode’ after 30 seconds from the last button press. The ow speed indicator will periodically blink with the current ow setting (Fig. 12-3). To wake up the display, momentarily press any display button.

Battery Charge Status Indicator and Low Battery Alarm

The battery level/alarm indicator (Fig. 12-4) displays the remaining battery charge status. This charge status indicator mirrors the charge status indicator on the battery. The number of bars illuminated indicates approximate battery pack charge status remaining: 5 bars = 80-100%, 4 bars = 60-80%, 3 bars = 40-60%, 2 bars = 20-40%, 1 bar = < 20%, 1 bar ashing = < 10%. The charge status indicator is based on the original charge capacity. It does not recalibrate as the battery ages, and the number of bars illuminated with a fully charged battery will decrease as the battery naturally loses capacity. This is a safety feature so that throughout the life of the battery the number of charge status bars lit consistently indicates approximate run time remaining (with a given system setup and lter loading). When the low battery alarm sounds, users

must immediately exit the hazardous area and replace the battery in an area where intrinsically safe equipment is not required. Never bring the TR-830 battery alone into an area which is potentially ammable or explosive. Doing so may result in serious injury or death.

Filter Load Indicator and Low Flow Alarm

The lter loading indicator (Fig. 12-5) monitors the pressure drop in the system. Increase loading of contaminants on the lter is indicated by the progressive extinguishing of LEDs in the lter loading indicator. As the pressure drop increases the motor/blower fan speed increases to compensate. When the fan is no longer able to compensate and provide adequate airow the motor/blower will alarm. A low ow alarm is indicated by the bottom LED of the lter loading indicator ashing RED. When the low ow alarm sounds, users must immediately exit the hazardous area and replace the

lter/cartridge and/or the prelter/spark arrestor in an area where intrinsically safe equipment is not required.

Step Down Feature

To conserve battery power when in the medium or high airow setting, the motor/blower will automatically step down to the next lower airow setting when the lter loading reaches approximately 90% or the battery run time remaining is less than 4 hours. This can be over-ridden by the user by pressing the ow control button to move the airow back to the desired ow.

The low battery alarm and low ow alarm will always operate as described above, when either alarm sounds, users must immediately exit the hazardous area and replace in an area where intrinsically safe equipment is not required.

INSPECTION

Failure to follow these User Instructions may reduce respirator performance, overexpose you to contaminants, and may result in injury, sickness, or death.

a. Do not use with parts or accessories other than those manufactured by 3M as described in these User Instructions

or on the NIOSH Approval Label for this respirator.

b. The 3M™ Versao™ Powered Air Purifying Respirator TR-800 Assembly is one component of an approved

respiratory protection system. Always read and follow all User Instructions supplied with your 3M™ Headgear and other system components in order to ensure correct system operation.

c. Do not turn off the motor/blower, remove the facepiece or headgear, or reach your hand into the headgear while inside

the contaminated area. This could allow contaminants to enter the respirator and may result in sickness or death.

Before each entry into a contaminated area, the following inspection must be performed to help ensure proper function of the respirator system. Respirator systems are intended to help reduce exposures to certain contaminants and should always be handled with care and fully inspected prior to use. Refer to the specic assembly subsection of these User Instructions for proper assembly procedures.

1. PAPR system: Closely inspect the entire PAPR system including the motor/blower, cover, lter/cartridge, breathing tube, battery, belt,

headgear. Pay particular attention to component connection points for wear or damage. If parts are missing or damaged, replace them only with 3M™ Versao™ Powered Air Purifying Respirator TR-800 Replacement Parts before proceeding.

2. Filter/cartridge:

• Closely inspect lter/cartridge plastic housing including the corners and latches, outer rectangular barrier, and inner circular lter seal gasket for cracks, tears, cuts, distortion, indentations or debris. Replace lter/cartridge if damaged. If the lter/cartridge has been mishandled or dropped, re-inspect fully. If you have any questions, contact 3M Technical Service for guidance.

• Ensure the lter/cartridge is properly installed in the PAPR unit.

• If the lter cover is used, the lter/cartridge label must be visible in the lter cover window (Fig. 13).

• If sparks or other hot particles are present, the spark arrestor with lter cover must be in place in front of the lter/cartridge and prelter (if used). Failure to use the spark arrestor when needed may allow the lter to catch re, or be damaged and allow contaminants to enter the respirator.

⚠ WARNING

The breathing tube should t securely into the air source connection.

5. Headgear: Follow the User Instructions supplied with your 3M headgear to ensure correct system operation.

6. Airow check:

The TR-800 is pre-calibrated to ensure required airow. However, the 3M™ Airow Indicator TR-971 must be used to

verify minimum required airow is attained prior to each day’s use. The TR-800 compensates for changes in air density, which is affected by elevation and air temperature. During use, if you suspect the TR-800 is not delivering a minimum of 6 cfm (170 lpm), exit the contaminated area, see your supervisor, and recheck the airow with the 3M™ Airow Indicator TR-971. The airow is checked with your current lter installed.

• Ensure oat ball in the TR-971 moves freely in the tube and the gasket at the bottom end of the tube is in place.

• Insert the TR-971 into the outlet of the TR-800 motor/blower unit. If the breathing tube is in place, it must be removed to allow the airow indictor to be inserted (Fig. 14-1).

• Turn the motor/blower unit on by pressing and holding the power button for 1 second. Run the 3M™ Versao™

Powered Air Purifying Respirator TR-800 for up to 1 minute to allow the airow to stabilize.

• With the airow indicator in a vertical position, ensure that the bottom of the oating ball rests at, or above, the minimum ow mark for the ‘letter’ representing your ‘Zone’ (Fig. 14-2). Airow indicator must be in the vertical position for an accurate reading.

The airow indicator is graduated into different ‘zones’ based on air density, which is based on elevation and ambient

temperature. To determine your zone, determine the elevation and temperature for the environment where you are conducting the airow check. See your supervisor if you are not certain of these values. Find the zone where your elevation and temperature intersect on the chart supplied with the airow indicator (Chart 1).

• Remove the airow indicator and tightly cover the outlet of the motor/blower with the palm of your hand. The motor should automatically speed up, attempting to compensate for the low airow condition.

• Continue to press your palm tightly against the end of the outlet, making a tight seal. In less than approx. 30 seconds, the unit will sound an audible alarm, and the bottom bar on the lter loading/low ow indicator will ash red. (Fig.12-5).

• Remove your hand from the end of the breathing tube. In less than approx. 30 seconds, the audible alarm and the ashing red LED should both stop when the motor returns to the selected speed.

NOTE: If the low airow alarm fails to sound, do not use the unit. Contact 3M Technical Service.

ENTERING AND EXITING THE CONTAMINATED AREA

Prior to entering the contaminated area, complete the inspection procedures listed in these User Instructions and ensure the selected PAPR setup is appropriate protection for the given airborne contaminant and concentration.

1. Turn the motor/blower on.

2. Check both the airow with the airow indicator and low ow alarms. NOTE: High environmental noise levels or use of

hearing protection may interfere with the user’s ability to hear audible alarms. Heavy clothing or tasks with high vibration levels may interfere with sensing the vibratory alarm. User may need to check for the visual alarms more frequently in high noise, or high vibration environments.

3. Don the 3M™ Versao™ Powered Air Purifying Respirator TR-800 Assembly and Headgear. Enter the work area.

4. Leave the contaminated area immediately if any of the following conditions occur: a. Any part of the system becomes damaged. b. Airow into the respirator decreases or stops. c. The low airow or low battery alarms trigger. In the event an audible or visual alarm trigger, the user should

immediately leave the contaminated area. d. Breathing becomes difcult. e. You feel dizzy or your vision is impaired. f. You taste or smell contaminants. g. Your face, eyes, nose or mouth become(s) irritated. h. You suspect that the concentration of contaminants may have reached levels at which this respirator may no longer

provide adequate protection.

5. Do not remove the respirator or reach your hand into the headgear in areas where the air is contaminated.

6. Follow your facility’s specic exiting and decontamination procedures for turning off the motor/blower and removing the respirator system.

CLEANING, STORAGE AND DISPOSAL

The 3M™ Versao™ Powered Air Purifying Respirator TR-800 Assembly should be cleaned and inspected after each use and prior to storage.

Cleaning

While system is together and still running, conduct a general wipe down/removal of dust and debris with a soft brush or soft cloth prior to disassembly. Remainder of cleaning steps should be conducted outside of the hazardous area

with the blower turned off. Inspect all parts for damage or other signs of excessive wear. Replace all damaged parts prior to storage or next use.

1. Motor/blower:

• Clean the outer surfaces of the TR-800 assembly and battery pack (still attached) with a soft cloth dampened in a solution of water and mild, pH neutral detergent. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners. Do not attempt to clean the interior of the motor/blower with compressed air or vacuum. Do not attempt to clean the battery connection

pins on the blower or the blower/charger connection pads on the battery- these are coated and direct cleaning with moist cloths or wipes should be avoided.

• If additional cleaning is required, remove the lter/cartridge and breathing tube. To minimize material falling onto the motor/blower, remove the breathing tube (Fig. 11) and lter/cartridge (Fig. 6) while it is facing downward. Remove the battery. Attach the air inlet and air outlet cleaning and storage plugs (3M™ Cleaning and Storage Kit TR-653) into the TR-800 (see Fig. 15). The TR-800 can now be rinsed under running water, immersed, or put in a respirator washer for further cleaning. Water temperature should not exceed 122°F (50°C). The plug gaskets should be inspected for damage and wear prior to each use. Worn or damaged gaskets must be replaced. Washing the TR-800 while using damaged plug gaskets may cause damage to the TR-800 and void the warranty. Blowers which have been dropped or damaged should not be immersed or put into a respirator washer due to potential water ingress. Gaskets should be replaced every 30 uses or yearly, whichever comes rst, to minimize use of worn gaskets.

Fig. 15 – Attaching motor/blower cleaning and storage covers

2. Battery:

• While still on the blower, wipe the housing of the battery pack with a soft cloth dipped in mild cleaning solution. Then wipe with a soft cloth dipped in clean water. Wipe dry.

• Remove battery and wipe down top of battery pack, if needed, with a soft dry cloth. Avoid contact with the blower/charger connection pads; if they become damp, allow to dry before reinstalling on blower or charger.

• If needed, the battery strap included with the 3M™ Cleaning and Storage Kit TR-653 can be used to protect the pads during cleaning. With the strap in place, the TR-830 battery can now be rinsed under running water, immersed, or put in a respirator washer for further cleaning.

3. Breathing tube:

• Detach breathing tube with unit upside down (Fig. 11).

• Clean the connection sites on the breathing tube with the water and detergent solution. The breathing tube can be immersed in water for cleaning if required. The inside of the tube must be completely dried prior to use or storage.

• Air dry, or dry by connecting to the motor/blower unit and use it to force air through the tube until dry. Orient tube to prevent water from running into blower.

• Optional plastic breathing tube covers (BT-922) may also be used to facilitate cleaning.

4. Belt:

• Remove the belt from the motor/blower by lifting the bottom of the belt over the belt locking tabs and sliding the belt down. The 3M™ Easy Clean Belt TR-627 is made of a non-porous and closed-cell material and can be wiped down or submersed in a soapy water solution. The 3M™ High Durability Belt TR-626 is made of leather leads with a rubber hip belt.

• The leather leads can be cleaned with a leather cleaner. The hip belt can be cleaned with a soapy water solution. Wipe or rinse all belts thoroughly and dry completely before next use.

5. Filter/cartridge:

• Remove the lter cover and inspect the lter/cartridge (and prelter/spark arrestor if used). Replace lter/cartridge if excessively dirty, wet or damaged.

• Do not attempt to clean the inside of the lter/cartridge housing or the lter/cartridge media itself. Do not clean with compressed or pressurized air. Doing so will damage the media. The exterior of the lter/cartridge can be gently wiped down with a dry or damp cloth to remove excess dirt and debris.

• The prelter (3M™ Prelter TR-6600) cannot be cleaned. Replace if excessively dirty or damaged.

• The spark arrestor (3M™ Spark Arrestor TR-662) can be cleaned using a water and detergent solution. Completely dry the spark arrestor with a clean cloth or air dry. If the spark arrestor cannot be cleaned or is damaged, replace with a new spark arrestor.

NOTE: To minimize material falling onto the motor/blower, remove the lter/cartridge while it is facing downward (Fig. 6).

Storage

Clean the system prior to storing. Store in a clean/dry environment not exposed to contaminant dusts, gasses or vapors. Filters/cartridges may be stored attached to the blower. Do not hang blower or headtop by the breathing tube, or hang the blower from the headtop. The system must be fully inspected prior to next use. For prolonged storage, the motor must be run for 5 minutes annually to ensure proper lubrication and operation.

See “Specications” section of this User Instructions for information on suggested storage temperatures. Humidity and ambient contaminants may diffuse into chemical cartridges once they are removed from their original packaging, which may reduce service life. Storing chemical cartridges in a clean airtight container, attached to or removed from the blower body, may help maintain remaining service life. For additional information on cartridge reuse, refer to 3M Technical Data Bulletin #142- Reuse of Organic Vapor Chemical Cartridges.

Battery Pack Maintenance and Storage

Battery packs should be charged prior to storage. Battery pack charge depletes slowly during storage; battery packs must not be allowed to fully discharge during extended storage. For short-term storage, the battery pack may be left attached to the motor/blower. For long-term storage, the battery pack should be removed from the motor/blower. Refer to the 3M™ Versao™ Powered Air Purifying Respirator TR-800 Chargers and Battery Packs User Instructions for specic maintenance and storage recommendations.

3M™ Battery Pack TR-830 can provide approximately 750 full charge/discharge cycle equivalents while maintaining 80% of its original capacity, when used under recommended conditions and during its rst year of service. Normal use of the battery and natural aging of battery cells will gradually decrease the battery’s available capacity. For additional information on

battery use and optimization see the Versao™ TR-830 Chargers and Battery Packs User Instructions and 3M Technical Data Bulletin #223 3M™ Versao™ PAPR Battery Maintenance.

Do not store battery packs where temperatures may exceed 122°F (50°C).

Description du système

Les ensembles respirateurs d’épuration d’air propulséTR-800 VersaoMC 3MMC font partie de la gamme des produits de protection respiratoire VersaoMC 3MMC. Les ensembles respirateurs d’épuration d’air propulséTR-800 sont conçus pour être utilisés avec la pièce faciale 3M indiquée sur l’étiquette d’homologation pour former un système de protection respiratoire complet homologué par le National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Utilisés conformément à l’homologation du NIOSH, les ensembles respirateurs d’épuration d’air propulséTR-800 contribuent à fournir une protection respiratoire contre certains types de gaz, de vapeurs et de particules. Les systèmes et composants VersaoMC 3MMC sont réservés à un usage professionnel en milieu de travail. Une fois complètement assemblé, le respirateurTR-800 est un

système intrinsèquement sécuritaire convenant aux espaces suivants: Exia, division 1 : Intrinsèquement sécuritaire classe I, II et III; division 1 (comprend la division 2); groupes C, D, E, F, G; T4, Ex ia I Ma, Classe I, zone 0, AEx ia IIB; T4/ classe I, zone 0, Ex ia IIB; T4, Zone 20, AEx ia IIIC; T135°C / zone 20, Ex ia IIIC; T135°C, -20°C ≤ Ta ≤ 55°C.

Consulter les sections sur «L’homologation du NIOSH» des présentes directives d’utilisation. Les ensembles respirateurs d’épuration d’air propulséTR-800 montés à la ceinture se composent d’un soufeur à moteur,

d’un ltre à haute efcacité contre les particules ou d’un ensemble cartouche chimique et ltre à haute efcacité combinés, d’un bloc-piles au lithium-ion et d’une ceinture. Le soufeur à moteur fait passer l’air ambiant dans le ltre ou la cartouche, puis le propulse dans la pièce faciale par le tuyau de respiration. Pour faciliter l’utilisation et la formation, la plupart des points d’interaction avec l’utilisateur sont jaunes ou bleus. Le soufeur offre trois réglages de débit que peut sélectionner l’utilisateur. Le soufeur est doté d’un régulateur de débit automatique. Le moteur régule le débit pendant l’utilisation pour compenser l’état de charge de la pile, l’accroissement de la résistance au débit d’air (encrassement du ltre par des particules) et la densité de l’air qui varie avec l’altitude et la température. Si le débit descend sous le niveau minimal prévu, une alarme sonore se déclenche. Puis, la DEL d’encrassement du ltre du soufeur clignote en rouge pour avertir l’utilisateur de quitter les lieux contaminés sur-le-champ. De la même façon, une alarme sonore et une alarme visuelle de pile faible se déclenchent lorsqu’il ne reste que 10 à 15minutes de charge au bloc-piles de manière à avertir l’utilisateur qu’il doit quitter la zone contaminée.

Plusieurs cartouches sont offertes pour des produits chimiques, des groupes de produits chimiques et des familles de produits chimiques particuliers. La durée d’utilisation réelle (durée utile) de la cartouche varie selon chaque environnement. En vertu de la norme de l’Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) en matière de protection respiratoire (É.-U. 29CFR1910.134), l’employeur est responsable d’assurer la protection adéquate des travailleurs, notamment par une sélection pertinente du ltre ou de la cartouche pour le respirateur d’épuration d’air propulsé et de voir à ce que l’on respecte la durée utile de la cartouche. 3M offre un logiciel gratuit qui facilite la sélection des ltres ou des cartouches et le calcul de leur durée utile sur le site www.3m.com/workersafety.
