1. SR 700 Fan Unit General Description
The SR 700 is a battery powered fan unit that,
together with filters and an approved respirator inlet
covering (facepiece) is a NIOSH 42CFR84 approved
powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR).
The fan unit equipped with filters supplies filtered air at
above-atmospheric pressure through a breathing
hose to the facepiece to provide respiratory protection
against certain particulates. The generated air
pressure prevents pollutants from the surroundings
from penetrating into the inlet coverings.
The SR 700 can be used as an alternative to filter
respirators in all situations for which these are
recommended. This applies particularly to work that is
hard, warm or of long-duration. If you feel uncertain
about the selection and care of the equipment,
consult your work supervisor or get in touch with
Sundström Technical Support.
IMPORTANT: THIS RESPIRATOR IS INTENDED
TO BE USED ONLY IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN
ORGANIZED RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
PROGRAM WHICH COMPLIES WITH THE
REQUIREMENTS OF "PRACTICES FOR RESPIRA-
TORY PROTECTION", Z88.2-2015 AVAILABLE

NIOSH Cautions and Limitations
A – Not for use in atmospheres containing less than
19.5 percent oxygen.
B – Not for use in atmospheres immediately dangerous
to life or health.
C – Do not exceed maximum use concentrations
established by regulatory standards.
F– Do not use powered air-purifying respirators if
airflow is less than four cfm (115 lpm) for tight fitting
facepieces or six cfm (170 lpm) for hoods and/or
helmets.
I– Contains electrical parts which have not been
evaluated as an ignition source in flammable or
explosive atmospheres.
J– Failure to properly use and maintain this product
could result in injury or death.
L– Follow the manufacturer's User's Instructions for
