DESCRIPTION
The ILC Dover SENTINEL XL™ PAPR CBRN is a blower-assisted air-purifying respirator known as a
Powered Air Purifying Respirator or PAPR. The SENTINEL XL™ PAPR CBRN is comprised of the
following components:
1. Butyl Hood, one size fit all P/N S-2001
The hood is equipped with a large area visor, allowing for an undisturbed field of vision, an adjustable
head harness that fits all head sizes, a double skirt, and an integrated breathing hose that connects the hood
to the blower unit. The Butyl Hood Assembly is packed and stored in a flat configuration to save storage
space. Adjusting the head harness to the wearer’s head circumference creates the three dimensional
structure.
2. Blower P/N S-2002
The blower is comprised of an electrical motor that drives an air blower. An on/off switch is located on
top of the blower. A red LED near the on/off switch at the top indicates when the blower is on. There is
one male thread at the blower top to connect the breathing hose. There are three female threaded inlets
with rubber gaskets at the blower sides and bottom to connect three Cartridges. The blower is equipped
with a self-test mechanism. Upon starting the blower, the red LED will blink once or twice, a buzzer will
sound one or two short beeps, followed by continuous LED light and no sound. This indicates that the
blower is functioning correctly. The blower is equipped with an audio-visual low voltage alarm,
indicating that battery voltage is decreasing. The alarm is given by the blinking LED and successive
buzzer beeps. The sound from the alarm is easily heard within the hood. Once the low voltage alarm has
sounded, the user must exit the contaminated area.
