PeRSo 3.0 User Manual
Powered Air-Purifying Respirator
Please read these instructions carefully before using the equipment
Incorrect use can result in risk to life and health

1. INTRODUCTION
This respiratory system is intended to be used to provide protection when the user works
in a contaminated environment. The equipment is able to filter the contaminated air via
the filter built in to the blower and then supply fresh air from breathing tube to the
respirator hood so that the user can continuously work in a contaminated environment.
It is a combined face and breathing protection device for increased safety and comfort
whilst performing tasks. Please read these instructions carefully before unpacking.
2. APPROVALS
The system complies with the requirements of PPE Regulation 2016/425 and European
Standard EN 12941: 1998+A2:2008 class TH3 P R S L. The Respiratory System is
designed to provide a supply of filtered air via a breathing tube to a fabric headpiece. The
equipment can be used in an environment that requires a class TH3P breathing
protection device. It protects against particulate contamination.
All components used in the Respiratory System must be manufacturer approved parts,
and must be used in accordance with the instructions in this manual.
1. The approval is not valid if the product is incorrectly used together
with non-approved parts or components.
2. Only the particle filter and pre-filter can be used together with
this system. Filters from other manufacturers should not be used.
3.WARNING AND LIMITATIONS TO USE
Before each use, inspect the Respirator System for damage and verify it operates
properly. Before using the Respirator System, test air flow to verify it is providing an
adequate volume of air.
Always wear the Respirator System and do not remove the hood or turn off the air filter
unit until outside the contaminated area, otherwise, there is a risk of high concentration
of CO2 and reduced oxygen level in the hood, and little to no protection is given.
If you are not sure about the concentration of pollution, or about equipment performance,
ask the company safety officer.

The manufacturer is not responsible for injury due to the following
incorrect use or incorrect choice of equipment.
Warning:
This respirator device should be used by trained personal and qualified personnel only.
Before using the devices ensure you have understood that at very high work rates the
pressure in the device may become negative at peak inhalation flow.
Before and during using the device, attention shall be drawn to possible incorrect use
and, where appropriate, the possibility of looped hoses and/or cables becoming
entangled.
Before or during use of the device, if the device is in the power-off state no respiratory
protection is to be expected.
Please leave the work place and remove the headgear, when the device is in the power-
off state a rapid build-up of carbon dioxide and depletion of oxygen within the hood may
occur.
The filters shall only be fitted to the blower unit and not directly to the helmet/hood.
The user should not confuse the markings on a filter relating to any standard other than
EN 12941 with the classification of this device when used with this filter.
DO NOT use PERSO 3.0 with the blower unit switched off.
DO NOT use PERSO 3.0 in an atmosphere that is immediately hazardous to user
hygiene or health and/or has oxygen content of less than 19.5% or contains unknown
substances.
DO NOT use PERSO 3.0 in an explosive atmosphere.
DO NOT use PERSO 3.0 in confined spaces or areas of poor ventilation
DO NOT use PERSO 3.0 in high winds.
DO NOT alter or modify in any way.
DO NOT touch any of the moving parts.
DO NOT allow water or other liquids to enter the impeller chamber, the filter or battery
compartment.
