System Description

The 3M™ Versaflo™ Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) TR-300+ Assemblies are part of the 3M™ Versaflo™
Family of Respiratory Protection Products. The TR-300+ PAPR assemblies are designed to be used with the 3M™
Headgear listed on the Approval Label to form a complete National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)
approved respiratory system. When used in accordance with its NIOSH approval, TR-300+ PAPR assemblies help
provide respiratory protection against particulates. 3M™ Versaflo™ Systems and Components are for occupational
use only. The TR-300+ does not provide protection against vapors or gases and is not an intrinsically safe
system. See the "NIOSH Approval" section in these User Instructions for additional information regarding approvals.
The TR-300+ belt mounted PAPR assemblies consist of a motor/blower unit, high efficiency (HE) particulate filter,
lithium-ion battery pack, and waist belt. The motor/blower unit draws ambient air through its filter and supplies
filtered air to the headgear via a breathing tube. For ease of use and training, most user interface points are colored
blue. The blower provides two user selectable airflow settings. It is equipped with automatic flow control; the motor
airflow is regulated during operation to compensate for the charge state of the battery, the increasing level of airflow
resistance caused by particle filter loading, and changes in air density due to changes in elevation and air temperature.
Should the airflow fall below the minimum design flow rate, an audible alarm will activate and the filter loading LED
on the blower unit will flash red to warn the user to immediately leave the contaminated environment. Similarly, an
audible and visual low battery alarm will activate when the battery pack has approximately 10-15 minutes of charge
remaining to warn the user to leave the contaminated area.
LIST OF WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS WITHIN THESE USER INSTRUCTIONS
1. This product is part of a system that helps reduce exposures to certain airborne contaminants. Before use, the
wearer must read and understand these User Instructions. Follow all local regulations. In the U.S., a written
respiratory protection program must be implemented meeting all the requirements of 29CFR1910.134, including
training, fit testing and medical evaluation. In Canada, CSA standard Z94.4 requirements must be met and/or
requirements of the applicable jurisdiction, as appropriate. Misuse may result in injury, sickness or death. For
correct use, consult supervisor and User Instructions, or call 3M Technical Service in USA at 1-800-243-4630
and in Canada at 1-800-267-4414.
2. The 3M™ Battery Packs TR-330, TR-332 Chargers, and the TR-300+ PAPR Assemblies are not intrinsically safe.
Do not use in flammable or explosive atmospheres. Doing so may result in serious injury or death.
3. Always correctly use and maintain the Lithium-ion battery packs. Failure to do so may cause fire or explosion
or could adversely affect respirator performance and result in injury, sickness, or death.
a. Do not charge batteries with unapproved chargers, in enclosed cabinets without ventilation, in hazardous
locations, or near sources of high heat.
b. Do not immerse.
c. Do not use, charge, or store batteries outside the recommended temperature limits.
d. Charge in an area free of combustible material and readily monitored, and outside of a classified intrinsically
safe area.
4. Failure to follow these User Instructions may reduce respirator performance, overexpose you to
contaminants, and may result in injury, sickness, or death.
a. Do not use with parts or accessories other than those manufactured by 3M as described in these User
Instructions or on the NIOSH Approval Label for this respirator.
b. The 3M™ Versaflo™ Powered Air Purifying Respirator TR-300+ Assembly is one component of an approved
respiratory protection system. Always read and follow all User Instructions supplied with your 3M™
Headgear and other system components in order to ensure correct system operation.
c. Do not turn off the motor/blower, remove the facepiece or headgear, or reach your hand into the headgear
while inside the contaminated area. This could allow contaminants to enter the respirator and may result in
sickness or death.
5. Always correctly use and maintain the filter assembly. Failure to do so may reduce respirator performance,
overexpose you to contaminants, and may result in sickness or death.
a. Inspect filter and inner circular sealing gasket before each installation. Replace filter if damaged or if the
circular gasket is damaged or missing.
b. Always properly install the filter into the blower unit.
c. Keep inner circular sealing gasket clean.
d. Never attempt to clean filter by knocking or blowing out accumulated material. Doing so will damage the
filter media.
