1.1 Applications
The SR 307 is an attachment that enables a given facepiece to be
convertedbetweenafilteringdeviceandaprotectivedevicewith
compressed air supply.
The compressed air attachment can be used as an alternative to a
filteringdeviceinallsituationsinwhichthelatterisrecommended.This

1.2 System description
The SR 307 mounted in a Sundström facepiece is designed for
connection to a suitable source of breathable compressed air.
The pressure in the facepiece prevents polluted ambient air from
entering the facepiece.
Acompressed airsupplyhose which isapproved forbreathable
air is connected to a control valve threaded onto the user’s belt.

been met, a filter such as the Sundström type SR 99 compressed
air filter should be connected. Fig. 10. The SR 99 compressed air
filter consists of a pre-collector and a main filter.
The main filter consists of a gas filter section (class A3 as per EN
141:1990andAS/NZS1716:2012)withabout500gofactivated
carbon, surrounded by two particle filters ( class P3 as per EN
143:1990 and AS/NZS 1716:2012). The collecting capacity is 100
- 150 g of oil. For further particulars of breathable air, see European
Standard EN 132:1998, Australian Standard AS/NZS 1715:2009
and any other national regulations that may be in force.
