The blower unit Proflow has been designed to conform with EN 12941/EN 12942 and AS/NZS
1716:2012. CE certified by BSI, Kitemark Court, Davy Ave, Knowlhill, Milton Keynes, MK5 8PP,
England, ID: 0086. Licence 1214 by SAI Global, Australia.
General
Proflow is a respirator system designed to supply filtered air for use in dangerous environments.
The device consists of a waist-mounted battery-driven blower and two or three filters. Air is
drawn through the filters by an electronically-controlled fan and led through the breathing hose
into the facepiece. Model SC: The operation data can be read at a service center by a computer
programme.
Limitations of use
1 This product must only be used by trained persons fully aware of workplace hazards.
2 The filtering device must not be used if the environment and contamination is unknown.
In case of doubt, isolating respirators (air supply) which function independently of the
atmosphere must be used.
3 The filtering device must not be used in confined spaces (e.g. cisterns, tanks) because of the
risk of oxygen deficiency or presence of heavy oxygen-displacing gases (e.g. carbon dioxide).
4 The filtering device may be used only if the oxygen content of the air is 18–23 vol.%.
5 Gas filters do not protect against particles. Similarly, particle filters do not provide protection
against gases or vapours. In case of doubt, use combined filters.
6 Normal filtering devices do not protect against certain gases such as CO (carbon monoxide),
CO (carbon dioxide) and N

7 Particle filters are only allowed for single use if they are applied against radioactive agents or
micro-organisms (virus, bacteria, fungi and spores).
8 It is likely that adequate protection cannot be guaranteed if the user's beard, hair, spectacle
frames or clothing intrude into the face seal.
9 When a breathing protector is used in potentially explosive atmospheres, please follow the
instructions given for such areas.
10 The blower must be running while using the respirator. If the blower turns off by accident, the
device ceases to function as a respirator, and carbon dioxide levels may instantly rise. This is
considered an exceptional situation
11 At a very intense working pace, the pressure in the facepiece can change into negative
pressure at peak inhalation.
12 Protection levels may be reduced if wind speed exceeds 2 m/s.
13 Recommended operation conditions -10 °C...+30 °C, relative humidity (RH) under 75 %.
14 Filters must not be fitted directly to the the face shield or breathing hose.
15 Working with open fire or molten metal splashes poses a risk of ignition for filters containing
activated carbon (gas filters and combined filters), whereby hazardous toxic concentrations
can rapidly build up.
16 The device has been tested under the following conditions: temperature +19...+28 °C, relative
humidity 20–70 %.
Technical information
The complete blower unit consists of a blower body, a blower, a breathing hose, a belt, a
battery, and a recharger. Two or three thread filters must be attached to the blower device. The
connection thread of the filters and the breathing hose of the blower device conforms to the
standard EN 148-1.
With the Proflow , always use 2 filters of the same type and class.

With the Proflow , always use 3 filters of the same type and class.

Display and alarm buzzer.
Rechargeable NiMH battery 9,6V/standard or power. Battery can be recharged 400-500 times.
Accessory: Instead of the battery, one can use a power supply (230 VAC), or a lighter socket
cable (12 VDC) for vehicles. In case the optional power supplies are used, the battery (snap
coupling) must be detached.
