Technical Data Sheet
Note: For safe, efficient blasting, read andfollow the owner's manual and seek training for everyone who will use this equipment.
Purpose
The Apollo 600 LP is designed for use with an ambient air pump. It meets OSHA standards for respiratory protection and air noise limitations. The Apollo 600's full-helmet design protects the blast operator's head from rebounding abrasive and from job-site impact hazards.
The heavy-duty silver-grey cape protects the operator's neck, shoulders, and chest from rebounding abrasive.
Requirements for Opération
The following items are required or recommended for operation, but may not be included with this respirator:
• An ambient air pump capable of delivering 7 to 15 cfm of air at 8 to 12 psi
• Output from the ambient air pump must meet the standard for Grade D breathing air, as defined by the Compressed Gas Association, Commodity Specification: G-7.1 (www.cganet.com)
• Approved 1/2-inch ID x 50 or 100 feet long respirator hose from the ambient air pump to the helmet connection
• Primary hearing and eye protection
Description of Operation
The Apollo 600 is a single-shell helmet with two adjustable suspension options. The DLX comfort-fit suspension (2 sizes) surrounds the operators head with com-fortable padding. The adjustable web suspension fits head sizes 6.5 to 8. Adjustable chin strap holds the helmet in position on the operator's head.
The wide, full-view window provides an expansive field of vision. A series of lenses preserves the operator's clear view of the work surface and protects the operator from dust and abrasive in the

surrounding air. A replaceable fixed inner lens securely fits inside a molded rubber gasket. An intermediate lens protects the inner lens; and up to 3 tear-away (perforated) outer lenses complete the system. The tear-away lenses are removed one at a time to expose a clean lens beneath. The multi-lens system is held in place by a hinged frame with replaceable latch.
The Apollo 600 LP comes with a Constant-Flow Connector (CFC) that provides a fixed flow of air. It is engineered for flow settings as specified by NIOSH.
A flexible breathing tube maintains air flow between the inlet fitting on the operator's belt and a replaceable inlet fitting at the center rear of the helmet crown for maximum operator comfort and maneuverability. The tube contains specially-formulated sound-deadening materials to reduce noise levels of incoming air to 80 dBA.
The helmet is generously sized to allow ear plugs or ear muffs and protective glasses or goggles as needed.
Incoming air enters the system through the air control device on the operator's belt. It continues through the breathing-air tube to enter the helmet at the inlet fit-ting at the center rear of the helmet crown. An air-distribution channel guides air over the head to the operator's face.
