DESCRIPTION
The ILC Dover
SENTINEL XL™ HP CLEAR HOOD PAPR SYSTEM
is a blower-
assisted air-purifying respirator known as
Powered Air Purifying
Respirator
or PAPR.
The SENTINEL XL™ HP CLEAR HOOD PAPR SYSTEM
is comprised of the
following components:
1. Sentinel Clear Hood, one size fits all P/N S-3101
The Sentinel XL™ Clear Hood is a loose fitting hood consisting of spun bond top
and rear panels, and a large optically clear plastic visor. The hood has two identical
skirts capable of being tucked into a single or double suit configuration, depending
on the user requirement. A third outer skirt is used to secure the hood to the upper
torso of the user through the use of four (4) tabs with integrated tape.
2. Blower P/N S-2002
The blower is comprised of an electrical motor that drives an air blower. An on/off
switch is located on top of the blower. A red LED near the on/off switch at the top
indicates when the blower is on. There is one male thread at the blower top to
connect the breathing hose. There are three female threaded inlets with rubber
gaskets at the blower sides. The blower is equipped with a self-test mechanism.
Upon starting the blower, the red LED will blink once or twice, and a buzzer will
sound one or two short beeps, followed by continuous LED light and no sound. This
indicates that the blower is functioning correctly. The blower is equipped with an
audio-visual low voltage alarm, indicating that battery voltage is starting to drop.
Alarm is given by blinking LED and successive buzzer beeps. Alarm sound is well
heard within the hood. Once the low voltage alarm has started, the user must exit the
contaminated area.
3. Battery Pack
The battery pack is integrated to the blower assembly by a snap fastener at the
blower assembly’s aft side, facing the user’s body. There are two types of battery
packs as follows:
A. Rechargeable NiMH Battery Pack P/N S-2003
The NiMH Battery can go up to 500 charge/discharge cycles and does not have
a considerable memory effect. The battery is equipped with a charging jack at
its aft side. Charging the battery can be done without disassembling from waist
belt, backpack or the blower assembly.
B. Non Rechargeable LiMnO2 Battery Pack P/N S-2004 (Optional)
High capacity Lithium Battery, capable of extended shelf life.
C. Alkaline Battery Adapter P/N S-4013 (Optional)
Adapter is capable of running approximately 8 hours. Five D-cell Duracell
batteries need to be properly installed to operate the Sentinel XL™ blower.
Batteries have a long term shelf life and are easily accessible.
