Performance Check with 3M™ Flow Meter
Prior to using this PAPR, complete the test described below to check the status of the battery, filter/cartridge, breathing tube and airflow.
Failure to pass a user performance check and complete all necessary repairs before use may adversely affect respirator performance and
result in sickness or death.
Flow Meter
The flow meter is designed to check airflow being supplied by the GVP PAPR unit. This process should be followed prior to each use. Check the
label on the meter to determine which test circle will be used for the airflow test.
1. Ensure that the filter selected for the workplace is secured to the PAPR before testing airflow.
2. Attach the appropriate breathing tube to the PAPR outlet (see above). Exceptions:
a. If the L-122 Breathing Tube is used, the 3M™ L-181 Adapter must be used instead of the breathing tube to check the airflow. The GVP-113
Flow Meter will not fit into the end of the L-122 Breathing Tube.
b. If a BT series breathing tube is used, the V-199 adapter must be used instead of the breathing tube to check the air flow. The GVP-113 Flow
Meter will not fit into the end of the BT series breathing tube.
3. Turn the power on by pressing the toggle on the GVP-111 battery or turning the switch to the "ON" position for the BP-15 battery.
4. Insert the tapered end of the airflow meter:
a. L-181 adapter – insert into the vinyl connector (Fig. 9) and hold vertically.
b. GVP-122, GVP-123 or H-115 – insert into the end of the breathing tube (Fig. 10) and hold vertically.
c. V-199 – insert into the end of the adapter (Fig. 11) and hold vertically using the thumb and forefinger to cover the two breathing tube locking
slots in the connector (Fig. 12).
5. Locate the position of the ball in the airflow meter.
