indicates an imminently hazardous situation, which if not avoided, will result in serious
personal injury, serious illness or death.
∆WARNING
Warning indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if not avoided, could result in serious
personal injury, serious illness or death.
CAUTIONS
Caution indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if not avoided, may result in damage to

∆
WARNING
DO NOT USE the Sentinel XL™ PAPR CBRN until you have read and completely understand this
instruction manual. You are required to inspect the packaging of this system
immediately after
purchasing it. Refer to the inspection procedures in this manual which explain how to do so.
Failure to comply with this WARNING could
lead to serious personal injury, serious illness or
death.
Note
The Sentinel XL™ PAPR CBRN system
has been tested against live chemical warfare agents, agent
stimulants, and industrial chemicals under controlled laboratory conditions. Protection time (time before
breakthrough and loss of adequate protection) may decrease, depending
upon agent type, agent
concentration, breakthrough criteria, temperature and humidity. The protection time provided by the
Sentinel XL™ PAPR CBRN in an actual emergency will depend on the aforementioned variables. The
wearer should immediately evacuate the contaminated area if the low voltage alarm sounds, if the blower
fails, or if other anomalies occur. The Sentinel XL™ PAPR CBRN is designed to operate per NIOSH
Statement of Standard for a Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Powered Air-
Purifying Respirator.

particles. This
respirator provides limited dermal (skin) protection to the head area and eyes. This respirator
does not protect against radioactive x-rays, gamma rays, or neutrons.
10. Eye irritation may be experienced based upon the Chemical, Biologica
l, Radiological and
Nuclear (“CBRN”) agent and exposure (concentration and duration).
11. Some CBRN agents may not present immediate effects from exposure, but can result in delayed
impairment, serious illness, serious injury, or death.
12. CBRN agents, depending on how they are used, may provide disabling effects as a result of skin
exposure.
13. Direct contact with CBRN agents requires proper handling of the respirator after use. Correct
decontamination and/or disposal procedures must be followed.
14. DO NOT USE for applications other than CBRN incidents.
15. DO NOT USE for gamma rays, x-rays and neutrons.
16. DO NOT USE for hazardous projectiles.

how to store, care for, and use this product and your emergency escape plan is required.
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.
