DESCRIPTION

The ILC Dover SENTINEL XL™ HP CLEAR HOOD PAPR SYSTEM is a blower-
assisted air-purifying respirator known as Powered Air Purifying Respirator or PAPR.
The SENTINEL XL™ HP CLEAR HOOD PAPR SYSTEM is comprised of the
following components:

1. Sentinel Clear Hood, one size fits all P/N S-3101

The Sentinel XL™ Clear Hood is a loose fitting hood consisting of spun bond top

and rear panels, and a large optically clear plastic visor. The hood has two identical
skirts capable of being tucked into a single or double suit configuration, depending
on the user requirement. A third outer skirt is used to secure the hood to the upper
torso of the user through the use of four (4) tabs with integrated tape.

2. Blower P/N S-2002

The blower is comprised of an electrical motor that drives an air blower. An on/off

switch is located on top of the blower. A red LED near the on/off switch at the top
indicates when the blower is on. There is one male thread at the blower top to
connect the breathing hose. There are three female threaded inlets with rubber
gaskets at the blower sides. The blower is equipped with a self-test mechanism.
Upon starting the blower, the red LED will blink once or twice, and a buzzer will
sound one or two short beeps, followed by continuous LED light and no sound. This
indicates that the blower is functioning correctly. The blower is equipped with an
audio-visual low voltage alarm, indicating that battery voltage is starting to drop.
Alarm is given by blinking LED and successive buzzer beeps. Alarm sound is well
heard within the hood. Once the low voltage alarm has started, the user must exit the
contaminated area.

3. Battery Pack

The battery pack is integrated to the blower assembly by a snap fastener at the

blower assembly’s aft side, facing the user’s body. There are two types of battery
packs as follows:

A. Rechargeable NiMH Battery Pack P/N S-2003

The NiMH Battery can go up to 500 charge/discharge cycles and does not have

a considerable memory effect. The battery is equipped with a charging jack at
its aft side. Charging the battery can be done without disassembling from waist
belt, backpack or the blower assembly.

B. Non Rechargeable LiMnO2 Battery Pack P/N S-2004 (Optional)

High capacity Lithium Battery, capable of extended shelf life.

C. Alkaline Battery Adapter P/N S-4013 (Optional)

Adapter is capable of running approximately 8 hours. Five D-cell Duracell

batteries need to be properly installed to operate the Sentinel XL™ blower.
Batteries have a long term shelf life and are easily accessible.

4. Cartridges P/N S-4002

ILC Dover SENTINEL XL™ HP CLEAR HOOD PAPR SYSTEM utilizes two

HE cartridges. The third blower inlet must be plugged securely with the blower

plug, either P/N S-4006 or S-4007.

5. Cartridge P/N S-4012 (Optional)

The ILC Dover SENTINEL XL™ HP FULL HOOD PAPR SYSTEM alternative

filter option utilizes three Organic Vapor/Chlorine Dioxide/Chlorine/Hydrogen

Chloride/Hydrogen Fluoride/Sulfur Dioxide/High Efficiency Particulate Air.

6. Decon and Quick Release Belt and Clip P/N S-4011

This is a blower mounting option that allows quick and easy attachment or removal

of the blower from the belt. This also facilitates the easy cleaning/disinfecting of
biological materials from the belt using standard cleaning or disinfecting materials.

Note: Do not use autoclave or other high temperature sterilization methods.

7. Backpack P/N S-2008 (Optional)

The backpack is very comfortable and supports the blower assembly on the user’s

back and waist which better dividing system’s weight on the user’s body. The
backpack can be used to store the entire system.

8. Hoses P/N S-4005 (33”) and P/N S-4003 (25”) (Optional)

The hose connects the blower unit to the hood. For use in supplying air from the

blower to the hood.

9. Fast Battery Charger P/N S-2009

A smart charger recharges NiMH Battery Pack within less than 5 hours.

10. Flow Meter P/N S-2010

Used to check the ability of the blower to provide sufficient air flow to the hood.

The air flow must be checked before each use.

11. Blower Plug P/N Standard S-4006 (with knob) or Optional S-4007 (Flat)

Can be removed for optional third filter. MAY REDUCE BATTERY LIFE.

12. Blower Flat Plug Installation and Removal Tool P/N S-4008 (Optional)

For use in installing or removing Optional S-4007 Flat Plug.
