3M Manufacturer Code: TR 971
The graduated 3M airflow meter is designed to accurately measure the airflow delivered by the Versaflo TR 600 and TR 300 powered air purifying motors. It allows verification that the system operates within the airflow ranges recommended by the manufacturer, ensuring respiratory protection that meets safety requirements. Thanks to its simple and intuitive design, it is easy to use during daily inspections or pre‑work checks. This tool is essential for workers using a powered air system in industrial, pharmaceutical, food processing, or maintenance sectors.
In principle, you should use your RVTR971 airflow indicator to assess the condition of your HEPA filter. However, the TR‑600 motor is equipped with indicators that alert you when your HEPA filter is saturated. If the filter portion of the cartridge is saturated, the cartridge must be replaced. Note that only the HEPA portion of the cartridge is checked by the device.
We suggest consulting the PDF file (in English only) that explains the different markings on the airflow indicator. In summary, it explains that the user must choose a letter corresponding to the ambient temperature and altitude relative to sea level.
The 3M airflow meter stands out for its precision and ease of use. It is graduated to allow quick reading of the airflow and to confirm that the motor operates within the recommended limits. Its robust design ensures optimal durability even in harsh industrial environments. It is compatible with TR 600 and TR 300 motors, making it a versatile tool for users of the Versaflo range. Thanks to its transparent and graduated design, it allows immediate and reliable visual inspection.
Using the 3M airflow meter is simple and quick. Just connect the flow meter to the air outlet of the Versaflo TR 600 or TR 300 motor, then turn the system on. The airflow then lifts the internal indicator, allowing immediate reading of the airflow level. The user can thus verify that the system is functioning properly before starting work. This procedure is essential to ensure adequate respiratory protection in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
The 3M airflow meter requires no complex maintenance. It must be stored in a clean and dry place to preserve the clarity of the graduated window and the accuracy of the reading. If dirt or dust accumulates, it can be cleaned gently with a soft cloth. If the flow meter shows cracks, deformation, or loss of readability, it is recommended to replace it to ensure reliable measurements.
For optimal use, it is recommended to check the airflow before each work shift. The flow meter must be used in a stable environment to obtain an accurate reading. The user must ensure that the motor, filters, and battery of the Versaflo system are in good condition to avoid any variation in airflow. This tool is particularly useful for workers exposed to airborne contaminants requiring constant and reliable respiratory protection.
It is used to verify that the motor provides sufficient airflow to ensure respiratory protection in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Yes, it is compatible with the powered air purifying motors of the TR 600 and TR 300 series.
No, it only needs to be kept clean and replaced if damaged or unreadable.
