1. Introduction
Use of a respirator must be part of a respiratory protec-
tion program. For advice see EN 529:2005 or AS/NZS
1715:2009. The guidance contained in these standards
highlights important aspects of a respiratory protective device
program but does not replace national or local regulations.
SR 570 together with the fan unit SR 500/SR 700 and
approved filters is included in the Sundstrom fan-assisted
respiratory protective device system conforming to EN 12941/
EN 12942:1998 and the Powered Air Purifying Respirator
(PAPR) system conforming to AS/NZS 1716:2012 (Fig. 1). The
breathing hose must be connected to the fan unit equipped
with filters. The above-atmospheric pressure generated in the
head-top prevents particles and other pollutants from being
admitted into the breathing zone.
SR 570 can also be used together with compressed air
attachment SR 507 conforming to EN 14594:2005 (Fig. 2).
If you feel uncertain about the selection and care of the
equipment, consult your work supervisor or get in touch with
the sales outlet. You are also welcome to get in touch with
the Technical Service Department at Sundstrom Safety AB.
1.1 Applications
The equipments can be used as an alternative to filter
respirators in all situations in which these are recommended.
This applies particularly if the work is physically demanding,
warm or of long duration. When selecting the head-top, some
of the factors that should be taken into account are as follows:
• Types of pollutants
• Concentrations
• Work intensity
• Protection requirements in addition to respiratory protective
device.
The risk analysis should be carried by a person who has
suitable training and experience in the area.
1.2 Warnings/limitations
Note that there can be national differences in the regulations
for use of respiratory protective equipment.
Do not use the equipment in environments:
• that are Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH),
• where the ambient air is oxygen-enriched air or does not
have a normal oxygen content.
• where the pollutants are unknown.
Do not use the equipment:
• without the face seal of the head-top against the face is
assured. The face seal must firmly come in contact with the
face to form the pressure that is necessary for establish the
correct protection factor. This may be difficult to achieve if
the user has a beard or sideburns.

Face shield SR 570
Materials that come into contact with the skin of sensitive
people may cause allergic reactions.
Damaged or scratched visors must immediately be replaced.
Eye-protectors against high-speed particles worn over stan-
dard ophthalmic spectacles may transmit impacts, thus
creating a hazard to the user.
Where the markings on the visor and visor frame are different,
the lowest applies.
Stop the work immediately:
• if you find that breathing is difficult,
• if you experience dizziness, nausea, or any other noticeable
physical effect.
• if you smell or taste the pollutants.
Note that the equipment:
• not is approved for use in an explosive atmosphere.
• if the user is exposed to very high work intensity, a partial
vacuum may occur in the device during the inhalation
phase, which may involve the risk of leakage into the
head-top.
• may reduce the protection factor if it is used in surroundings
in which high wind speeds occur.
• should never be lifted or carried in the breathing hose.
• if protection against high speed particles at extremes
of temperature is required, the letter T must be written
immediately after the impact letter, i.e. BT. If not, the eye-
protector shall only be used against high speed particles at
room temperature.
