Product Information
MSA's OptimAir TL PAPR incorporates a sleek, low-profile design for user comfort never before offered in a PAPR. All components, including the motor blower, cartridges, and battery, are packaged in a single hip-hugging housing. Improved motor blower electronics allow for optimum air flow, while the compact and ergonomic battery pack affords lightweight comfort and fit. Flow control sensors are activated by insertion of the cartridges and breathing hose to the blower housing. The unit automatically adjusts for altitude via an internal pressure sensor.

Superior design features permit fast, accurate changeout of cartridges, hoods and batteries. Slim, curved PAPR housing helps to minimize fatigue and permits work in tight confined areas. Standard OptimAir TL PAPR kit includes motor blower, smart charger, standard battery, hose and decon belt.

DESIGN FEATURES
• Crushproof breathing tube
• Automatic setting of flow rates
• Audible and visual alarms for low flow indication and low battery voltage
• Less bulk and better weight distribution improves worker efficiency
• Sealing gaskets on each cartridge
