System Description
The 3M™ Versaflo™ Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) TR-600 Assemblies are part of the 3M™
Versaflo™ Family of respiratory protection products. The TR-600 PAPR assemblies are designed to
be used with the 3M headgear listed on the approval label to form a complete National Institute of
Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) approved respiratory system. When used in accordance
with its NIOSH approval, TR-600 PAPR assemblies help provide respiratory protection against
certain gases, vapors and particulates. 3M™ Versaflo™ Systems and components are for professional
occupational use only. The TR-600 is not an intrinsically safe system. See the "NIOSH Approval"
section in these User Instructions for additional information regarding approvals.
The TR-600 belt mounted assemblies consist of a motor/blower unit, high efficiency (HE) particulate
filter or combination chemical cartridge/HE filter, lithium-ion battery pack, and waist belt. The motor/
blower unit draws ambient air through its filter/cartridge and supplies filtered air to the headgear via
a breathing tube. For ease of use and training, most user interface points are colored blue. The blower
provides three user selectable airflow settings. It is equipped with automatic flow control; the motor
airflow is regulated during operation to compensate for the charge state of the battery, the increasing
level of airflow resistance caused by particle filter loading, and changes in air density due to changes in
elevation and air temperature. Should the airflow fall below the minimum design flow rate, an audible
alarm and vibratory alarm will activate and the filter loading LED on the blower unit will flash red to
warn the user to immediately leave the contaminated environment. Similarly, an audible, vibratory and
visual low battery alarm will activate when the battery pack has approximately 10-15 minutes of charge
remaining to warn the user to leave the contaminated area.
Multiple cartridges are available for specific chemicals, grouping of chemicals, and chemical families.
The effective use time (service life) of the cartridge will vary depending on your specific environment.
Under the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Respiratory Protection Standard
(U.S. 29 CFR 1910.134), it is the employer's responsibility to ensure adequate worker protection
including selecting the appropriate filter/cartridge for this PAPR system, and ensuring the cartridge is
used within its service life. 3M provides free software to aid in filter/cartridge selection and service life
calculations available at www.3M.com/workersafety.
LIST OF WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS WITHIN THESE USER
INSTRUCTIONS
1. This product is part of a system that helps reduce exposures to certain airborne contaminants. Before
use, the wearer must read and understand the User Instructions provided as a part of the product
packaging. Follow all local regulations. In the U.S., a written respiratory protection program must
be implemented meeting all the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.134, including training, fit testing and
medical evaluation. In Canada, CSA standard Z94.4 requirements must be met and/or requirements
of the applicable jurisdiction, as appropriate. Misuse may result in injury, sickness or death. For
proper use, see supervisor, User Instructions, or call 3M PSD Technical Service in USA at
1-800-243-4630 and in Canada at 1-800-267-4414.
2. The 3M™ Battery Packs TR-630, TR-632, chargers, and the TR-600 PAPR assemblies are not
intrinsically safe. Do not use in flammable or explosive atmospheres. Doing so may result in serious
injury or death.
3. Always correctly use and maintain the Lithium-ion battery packs. Failure to do so may cause fire or
explosion or could adversely affect respirator performance and result in injury, sickness, or death.
a. Do not charge batteries with unapproved chargers, in enclosed cabinets without ventilation, in
hazardous locations, or near sources of high heat.
b. Do not immerse without the battery storage and cleaning cover installed.
c. Do not use, charge, or store batteries outside the recommended temperature limits.
d. Charge in an area free of combustible material and readily monitored, and outside of a classified
intrinsically safe area.
4. Failure to follow these User Instructions may reduce respirator performance, overexpose you to
contaminants, and may result in injury, sickness, or death.
