USER INSTRUCTIONS
Please read these instructions and then store them in a
safe place for future reference. The respirator must be
fitted and used in accordance with these instructions in
order to obtain the approved level of performance.
INTRODUCTION
The Airshield Pro is a self-contained, lightweight
Powered Air Purifying Respirator intended for protection
against solid aerosols only. This is combined with eye
protection from impact and liquid splash.
The Airshield Pro is powered by a rechargeable battery
pack held inside the respirator. Air is filtered through the
respirator to provide a constant flow of clean air over
the face. A face seal ensures that positive pressure is
maintained within the respirator.
The Airshield Pro has an adjustable headband and
concussion cradle, ensuring a comfortable fit for most
head sizes.

Product assessed against the requirements of the
following standards:
Respiratory Protection:
• EN 12941:1998+A2:2008, respiratory devices, powered
filtering devices class TH2P.
• For use against solid particulates only.
Eye Protection:
• BS EN 166: 2002, personal eye protection.
• Class 1B3.
• Optical class 1; high-speed particles - medium energy

SUITABILITY FOR USE
This respirator must be used strictly in accordance with
these instructions.
Do not use this respirator for protection against unknown
atmospheric contaminants or when concentrations of
contaminants are unknown or immediately dangerous
to life or health, or in atmospheres likely to be deficient
in oxygen.
Only use this respirator with the parts and accessories l
isted in these instructions. The respirator is only for use
by trained, competent personnel.
In the power-off state little or no respiratory protection is
to be expected, and this is considered to be an abnormal
situation.
In the power-off state there will be a rapid build up of
carbon dioxide and depletion of oxygen may occur.
Without the face seal fitted no respiratory protection is to
be expected.
At very high work rates and peak inhalation the pressure
flow in the device may become negative.
Ophthalmic spectacles may transmit impacts from high-
speed particles, thus creating a hazard to the wearer.
Leave the contaminated area immediately if any of the
following conditions apply:
• The buzzer sounds.
• Any part of the respirator becomes damaged.
• Airflow into the respirator decreases or stops.
• Breathing becomes difficult.
• Dizziness or other physical distress or irritation occurs.
• The user tastes or smells contaminants.
Never modify or alter this product, except as directed in

the service tasks contained in these instructions.
Materials which may come into contact with the wearer’s
skin could cause allergic reactions to susceptible
individuals.
Transportation
For transportation purposes use the carry bag provided
and protect the unit from physical or chemical damage.
PREPARATION FOR USE
The following tasks must be performed prior to use:
Battery charging and installation
The nominal recharge time for a flat battery pack is 14
hours. The battery pack must be fully charged before
first use. To install and charge the battery pack:
• Lift the cover by pressing the forward side tabs
inwards and rotating the cover rearwards as shown
in - (Fig.1)
• Slide the battery pack into its housing as shown in
- (Fig.2)
• Fit the battery charger connector into the rear of the
electronics unit and connect the charger to a mains AC
supply. The LED lights up and remains lit even after a
full charge has been completed. Charge for 14 hours.
• After charging switch off the mains AC supply, remove
the charger connector from the helmet and refit cover
ensuring tabs lock the cover in position.
For external charging see optional charge cradle in
accessories list.
Visual inspection
• Check the face seal material for damage.
• Check the face seal attachment to the respirator
chassis and visor.
• Check the visor seal for damage.

shown in (Fig.9) Check the airflow as shown in (Fig.3)
• Turn the helmet upside down and locate the airflow
indicator on the four slots at the front of the helmet.
• Press the red on/off switch to operate the fan. An
audible tone should sound briefly one time. The red
ball is raised to the top of the indicator tube if the
system is operating correctly.
• If the red ball is raised to less than half the height of the
tube then either the battery charge is low or the filters
are blocked and need replacing.
Low Battery Warning
If an audible regular intermittent tone sounds recharge or
replace the battery pack.
