3. The breathing tube. Choose PA1BT for hoods and

PA20LFBT for loose fitting facepieces

4. The Battery Charger. Both standard and quick chargers

are available.

The high efficiency air-purifying element must be mounted
inside the blower body. The blower unit draws in
contaminated air through the filter. The filtered air is blown
into the wearer’s hood through the breathing tube. A flow
indicator is provided to check that there is an adequate
volume of air available to the wearer prior to use.

The units are designed for use at temperatures from 32º F
to 90º F (0º C to 32º C).

The system is designed to operate at a minimum air flow of
7.5 cubic feet of air per minute (210 liters per minute) in
the hood under normal use. In a heavily contaminated
environment, the battery life may be reduced due to
clogging of the filter.

The PA1BU system (only) is fitted with an audible alarm
which will sound due to low battery power.

The same headpieces approved for use with the PA20
Series of Powered Air-Purifying Respirators are also
approved for use with the CC20 Series of Supplied Air
Respirators. CC20 Series Respirators provide a high level
of respiratory protection and user comfort over long work
periods, in a wide variety of hazardous environments. 

The CC20 SAR air flow control devices and other
components are described in the CC20/PA20 Series User
Manual.
