1. General information
Use of a respirator must be part of a respiratory protection
program. For advice see EN529:2005 or AS/NZS 1715:2009.
The guidance contained in these standards highlights important
aspects of a respiratory protective device program but does not
replace national or local regulations.
If you feel uncertain about the selection and care of the equip-
ment, consult your work supervisor or get in touch with the sales
outlet. You are also welcome to get in touch with the Technical
Service Department at Sundström Safety AB.
1.1 System description
SR 580 together with the fan unit SR 500/SR 500 EX and
approved filters is included in the Sundström fan-assisted respi-
ratory protective device system conforming to EN12941:1998
and the Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) system con-
forming to AS/NZS 1716:2012. (fig. 2). SR 580 can be used
together with fan unit SR500 EX in explosive atmospheres.
The breathing hose must be connected to the fan unit equipped
with filters. The above atmospheric pressure generated in the
head-top prevents particles and other pollutants from being
admitted into the breathing zone.
SR 580 can also be used together with compressed air
attachment SR507 (fig. 1). This combination forms a breathing
apparatus designed for continuous air flow, for connection to
a compressed air supply in accordance with EN14594:2005.
1.2 Applications
The SR580 together with fan SR500/SR500 EX or SR507
compressed air attachment can be used as an alternative
to filter respirators in all situations in which these are recom-
mended. This applies particularly to work that is hard, warm
or of long duration. When selecting the head top, some of the
factors that must be taken in to account are as follows:
• Type of pollutants
• Concentrations
• Work intensity
• Protection requirements in addition to respiratory protective
device.
The helmet/visor must only be used when carrying out work
it is intended for. The helmet provides limited protection by
reducing the force of falling objects that strike or penetrate the
top of the helmet shell.
The visor provides protection for the eyes and the face from
various hazards such as flying objects, impact, splashes and
airborne debris.
The risk analysis should be carried by a person who has
suitable training and experience in the area.
1.3 Warnings/Limitations
Note that there can be national differences in the regulations
for use of respiratory protective equipment.
Warnings
The equipment must not be used
• If the fan is not running. In this abnormal situation, the
equipment will provide no protection. In addition, there is
risk of carbon dioxide quickly accumulating in the head top,
which would lead to oxygen deficiency
• if the pollutants are unknown,
• in environments that are immediately dangerous to life and
health (IDLH),
• in environments where the ambient air is oxygen-enriched
air or does not have a normal oxygen content,
• if you find it difficult to breathe,
• if you smell or taste pollutants,
• if you experience dizziness, nausea or other discomfort.
Materials that come into contact with the skin of sensitive
people may cause allergic reactions.
Damaged or scratched occulars must immediately be replaced.
Eye-protectors against high-speed particles worn over stan-
dard ophthalmic spectacles may transmit impacts, thus
creating a hazard to the wearer.
Where the markings on the visor and visor frame are different,
the lowest applies.
The eye protection according to EN 166:2001 and AS/
NZS1337.1:2010 is valid at temperature -5 °C to +55 °C.
The head protection according to EN 397:2012 is valid at
temperature -30 °C to +55 °C.
The head protection according to AS/NZS1801:1997 is valid
at temperature -10 °C to +50 °C.
If protection against high speed particles at extremes of tem-
perature is required, the letter T must be written immediately
after the impact letter, i.e. BT. If not, the eye-protector shall only
be used against high speed particles at room temperature.
Limitations
• The head-tops must not be used together with peel-offs in
potentially explosive atmosphere.
• If the face seal is not firmly in contact with the face, the
pressure necessary for maintaining the correct protection
factor will not be established.
• If the user is exposed to very high work intensity, negative
pressure may occur in the device during the inhalation
phase, which may involve the risk of leakage into the
head-top.
• The protection factor may be reduced if the equipment is
used in surroundings in which high wind speeds occur.
• The seal of the head-top against the face must be assured.
This may be difficult to achieve if the user has a beard or
sideboards.
• Be aware that the breathing hose might make a loop and
get caught up by something in your surrounding.
• Never lift or carry the equipment by the breathing hose.
• The helmet is not designed to withstand penetrative impacts
from the front, sides or back, but can provide protection
against less severe impacts against those surfaces.
• Avoid contact with electrical wiring when using the helmet.
• When gluing items to the helmet, only rubber or acrylic-
based adhesives may be used. The helmet must not be
painted.

3 Use
3.1 Installation
Also see the user manual for the SR500/SR500 EX fan and
the SR507 compressed air attachment, whichever is used.
Breathing hose
One end of the hose has a ø42 mm thread (fig. 1b/2b), whilst
the other is fitted with an O-ring (fig. 1c/2c). The threaded end
is to be connected to the helmet.
3.2 Donning
Also see the user instructions for the SR500/SR500 EX fan
and the SR507 compressed air attachment, whichever is used.
• Check that the 6-point harness is secured correctly (fig. 9).
• Raise the visor and put on the helmet (fig. 10).
• If necessary, adjust the width of the helmet using the knob
located at the rear of the harness (fig. 11).
• To adjust the height of the helmet interior, move the pins
between positions a and b (fig. 12). If the interior is attached
to pin a, the helmet will sit lower, and on pin b the helmet
will be higher. To achieve the best fit, this adjustment can
be made at both the front and back of the helmet.
• Lower the visor by pulling the face seal down below your
chin. A ‘click’ indicates that the visor is fully lowered (fig. 13).
• Insert a finger inside the face seal and move it along the
length of the contact surface to check the fit (fig. 14).
• Make sure that the breathing hose runs down your back
and is not twisted. You can adjust the angle of the helmet
connection as required (fig. 15).

routines so you will be certain that the equipment will always
be in usable condition.
Before use After use Annually
Visual inspection •• •
Performance check ••
Cleaning • •
Replacement of hose O-ring •
Replacement of gasket
in helmet •
Replacement of
exhalation membrane •
At the first signs of wear, impact marks, damage or aging of the
material, the helmet shell or harness must be replaced in order
to ensure the protective ability of the helmet is maintained. This
must be checked on a regular basis.
A helmet that shows signs of damage, e.g. cracks or scratches,
that may reduce its protective ability must be discarded. The
helmet must also be discarded if it has been exposed to
stresses during an accident or near accident, even if there is
no visible damage.
The helmet should be used within 5 years after the date of
production or within 3 years of being taken into use, whichever
of these dates is the earlier.
