SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The 600 Series headtops combine welding, eye and respiratory protection and are designed to be used with an
approved air filter unit (AFU) or regulator (see Reference leaflet) to form a respiratory protection device.
The air will be fed via a breathing tube from a belt mounted AFU or regulator to the back of the headtop. The air
flows over the top of the wearer's head and down in front of the face. The welding shield and face seal prevent the
ingress of contaminated air.
