SR 580 Helmet with Visor
1. General information
SR 580 together with the fan unit SR 500/SR 500 EX/SR 700
and approved filters is included in the Sundström fan-assisted
respiratory protective device system conforming to EN 12941/
EN 12942:1998 (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.
If you have any questions regarding the selection and mainte-
nance of equipment, consult your work supervisor or get in touch
with the sales outlet. You can also contact the Sundström Safety
AB’s Technical Support department. Respiratory protection
must always be part of a respiratory protection programme.
Forinformationandguidance,seeEN529:2005.
This standard provides information about the important aspects
of a respiratory protection programme, but does not replace
national or local regulations.
1.1 Applications
The SR 580 together with fan SR 500/SR 500 EX/SR 700
or SR 507 compressed air attachment can be used as an
alternative to filter respirators in all situations in which these are
recommended. 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 must only be used when carrying out work it is
intended for. It provides limited protection by reducing the
force of falling objects that strike or penetrate the top of the
helmet shell.
The risk analysis should be carried by a person who has
suitable training and experience in the area.
1.2 Warnings/limitations
Warnings
The equipment must not be used
• ifthesurroundingairdoesnothavenormaloxygen
content,
• ifthepollutantsareunknown,
• inenvironmentsthatareimmediatelydangeroustolifeand
health(IDLH),
• withoxygenoroxygen-enrichedair,
• 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.
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,apartial
vacuum 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.

2.3 Assembly
Also see the user manual for the SR 500/SR 500 EX/SR 700 fan
and the SR 507 compressed air attachment, whichever is used.
Face seal and visor
Assembly of the face seal and visor does not require any tools.
Do the following:
• Fitthefacesealontheinnerflangeinthelowervisorframe
(fig. 3). Start at one side, push the pin upwards and control
that the lip is fastened in the lower visor frame (fig. 4).
• Pushalongthefacesealframesoitissecurelyfastenedon
the lower visor frame (fig. 5). Control that the pin and lip is
fastened on both sides (fig. 4).
• Fitthevisorintothelowervisorframe.Applyingalittlewater
to the seal will make fitting easier (fig. 6).
• Fitthelowervisorframetothehelmetbyslidingitintoposi-
tion. A ‘click’ indicates that the frame is locked in position
(fig. 7a-7d).

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.
2.4 Putting the helmet on
Also see the user instructions for the SR 500/SR 500 EX/
SR 700 fan and the SR 507 compressed air attachment,
whichever is used.
• Checkthatthe6-pointharnessissecuredcorrectly(fig.9).

• 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).

4. Maintenance
The person responsible for cleaning and maintaining the
equipment must have suitable training and be well acquainted
with work of this type.
4.1 Cleaning
Sundström cleaning tissues SR 5226 are recommended for
daily care.
If the equipment is more heavily fouled, use a soft brush or
sponge moistened with a solution of water and dishwashing
detergent or the like. Rinse the equipment and leave it to dry.
N.B. Never use a solvent for cleaning.
4.2 Storage
After cleaning, store the equipment, dry and clean, at room
temperature. The SR 580 should be stored with the visor either
fullyraisedorfullylowered.Keepoutofdirectsunlight.
4.3 Maintenance schedule
The following schedule shows the recommended minimum
maintenance procedures required in order to ensure that the
equipment is always in functional 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.
4.4 Spare parts
Always use Sundström genuine parts. Do not modify the
equipment.
Useofnon-genuinepartsormodificationsmayreducepro-
tective function and put at risk the approvals received by the
product.
4.4.1 Replacement of exhalation
membrane
