- 1 High capacity lithium ion battery; Run time of 8 to 12h (RVTR332)
- 1 Single station battery charger kit (RVTR341)
- 1 High efficiency (HE) filter (RVTR3712N)
- 1 Spark arrestor/prefilter (RVTR362)
- 1 Respiratory hard hat (RM307)
- 1 Peel-off visor cover (RM928)
- 1 Breathing tube; Length: length may vary between 525 mm and 850 mm. (RBT30)

Integration into a Respiratory Protection Program

The Versaflo™ TR-300HIK integrates into a global respiratory protection approach, complementing other [Versaflo™ systems of filters and accessories], designed to meet the requirements of different industrial environments.

Features of the RM307 Headgear:

T The RM307 face piece consists of a hard hat, a visor and a fireproof face seal, which makes it the number 1 choice for intensive industrial work requiring headgear. The hard hat is provided with a six-point head suspension and a rotary ratchet mechanism. It meets ANSI Z89.1-2003 impact protection standards and is classified type 1 and class G which are approved for industrial work. The hard hat part is made of hard fireproof polyester. Please note that it is not yet CSA approved.

The RM307 meets ANSI Z87.1-2010 standards regarding eye and face protection. 3M RM307 is equipped with a premium visor and a flame resistant face seal. RM927 visor is made of an anti-scratch covered polycarbonate resistant to impacts. A RM928 peel-off visor cover comes with the complete system. This piece features an easily adjustable deflector, which allows users to direct the location of the airflow inside the headgear for increased control and comfort.

The RM307 is equipped with a flame-resistant face seal, which not only ensures an airtight environment, but protects one from flames for a limited time. Please note that to ensure airtight sealing, one must avoid the contact of facial hair with the face seal. Failing that, the manufacturer concedes that the equipment might not meet NIOSH standards.

Maintenance and Lifespan of the Powered Air Purifying Respirator

For optimal and safe performance, you should follow the manufacturer's recommendations. 3M recommends always inspecting your equipment before use, cleaning it after use, and returning it to its packaging when not in use.

During cleaning, it is important not to use solvents as they can weaken certain components of the system, which can affect its effectiveness. It is important to specify that the motor, the battery, and the HEPA filter must not be submerged in water. Additionally, the flame-resistant faceseal must not be washed as it risks losing its flame-resistant properties.
