P– NIOSH does not evaluate respirators for use as
surgical masks.
S– Special or critical User's Instructions and/or specific
use limitations apply. Refer to User's Instructions
before donning.
FF– Respirators are to be fit tested prior to use with the
heaviest cartridges, canisters, filters and/or
accessories intended to be used. Fit testing should
also be conducted while wearing all personal
protective equipment intended to be used. See
User's Instructions for fit test instructions.
S-Special or Critical User's Instructions
The SR 500 PAPR Assembly is NIOSH approved for
both loose and tight fitting as outlined in the System
Description and Use Section 4.
The SR 500 must always be used with a particulate
filter (SR 510 or SR 710) – either separately or in
combination with a chemical cartridge. Only the SR
510 particulate filter can be used in combination with a
SR 532 or SR 533 chemical cartridge. The SR 710 can
not be used in combination with a chemical cartridge.
2.2 Warnings/limitations
WARNINGS
The SR 500 must not be used:
• If the power is off. In this abnormal situation a rapid
buildup of carbon dioxide and depletion of oxygen
may occur in the headgear.
• If the atmosphere does not have adequate oxygen
content (at least 19.5%).
• If the pollutants and/or their concentrations are
unknown.
• In environments that are immediately dangerous to
life or health (IDLH).
• If the contaminant concentrations exceed the
assigned protection factor (APF) recommended for
the applicable respiratory inlet cover or the APF
mandated by specific government standards,
whichever is lower.
• With oxygen or oxygen-enriched air.
• In Division I locations: Class I, Group D; Class II,
Groups E, F, G; and Class III. Temperature code "T3"
that require an intrinsic safety approval.
• In environments where the fan unit/filter/cartridge
assembly directly comes into contact with sparks or
molten metal spatter. Direct contact with sparks or
molten metal spatter may damage the filter or
cartridge allowing unfiltered air into the breathing
zone, which may result in sickness or death, and
may cause the filter or blower housing to ignite,
resulting in serious injury, sickness or death.
• If you find it difficult to breathe.
• If you can smell or taste the pollutants.
• If you experience dizziness, nausea or other
discomfort.
Limitations
• Do not exceed maximum use concentrations
established by regulatory standards.
• The SR 500 must always be used with two
particulate filters or two combined filters.
• If the user is exposed to very high work intensity, a
partial vacuum may occur in the headgear during the
inhalation phase, which may involve the risk of
leakage into the headgear.
4
• The protection factor may be reduced if the
equipment is used in surroundings in which high
wind speeds occur.
• Be aware that the breathing hose might make a loop
and get caught up by something in your
surroundings.
• Never lift or carry the equipment by the breathing
hose.
• The filters/cartridges must not be fitted directly to
the facepiece or headgear.
• Only use Sundström filters and cartridges.
• Do not clean respirator with solvents. Cleaning with
solvents may degrade some respirator components
and reduce respirator effectiveness. Inspect all
respirator components before each use to ensure
proper operating conditions. Failure to do so may
result in sickness or death.
• Never attempt to clean filters by knocking or blowing
out accumulated material. This may result in damage
to the filter membrane allowing hazardous particles
to enter the breathing zone, resulting in sickness or
death.
• Only a Sundström battery must be used.
• Only a Sundström battery charger must be used.
• The SR 500 respirator components and filtration
media must be used only in the configurations
indicated on the NIOSH Approval Labels. Refer to
NIOSH Approval Label for list of approved
components.
• The user must check the cartridge / filter being
mounted to ensure it is the correct cartridge / filter
issued by the respirator program manager on site for
the application.
