System Description

The 3M™ Versaflo™ Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) TR-300 Assemblies are part of the 3M™ Versaflo™
Family of respiratory protection products. The Versaflo TR-300 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-300 PAPR assemblies
help provide respiratory protection against particulates. The TR-300 does not provide protection against vapors
or gases and is not an intrinsically safe system. See NIOSH Approval section of this User Instruction for additional
information on approvals.
The TR-300 belt mounted assemblies consist of a motor/blower unit, high efficiency filter, waist belt, and lithium ion
battery pack. The motor/blower unit draws ambient air through its high efficiency filter and supplies filtered air to the
headgear via a breathing tube. The blower unit is equipped with automatic flow control; the motor speed is regulated
during operation to compensate for the charge state of the battery pack and the increasing level of airflow resistance
caused by filter loading. Should the airflow fall below the minimum design flow rate, an audible alarm will sound
and the red fan shape LED on the blower unit user interface will flash to warn the user to immediately leave the
contaminated environment. Similarly an audible 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.
The TR-300 is available with a variety of accessories, belt options, and choice of standard or high capacity battery
pack and single or multi-station charger. Consult the Listing of Components, Accessories, and Replacement Parts in
this User Instruction for additional information including a listing of Versaflo TR-300 PAPR part numbers.
Properly selected, used, and maintained respirators help protect against certain airborne contaminants by reducing
concentrations in the wear's breathing zone below the Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL). It is essential to follow
all instructions and government regulations on the use of this product, including wearing the complete respirator
system during all times of exposure, in order for the product to help protect the wearer. Misuse of respirators may
result in overexposure to contaminants and lead to sickness or death. For proper use, see supervisor, refer to
the product User Instructions or contact 3M Technical Service at 1-800-243-4630. In Canada, call Technical Service
at 1-800-267-4414.
