System Description
3M™ Connected Safety is an Internet-of-Things (IoT) platform designed to connect workers, places,
and equipment to promote worker health and safety, compliance workflow, and process automation. A
network of connected PPE creates an ecosystem that may help organizations drive worker health and
safety, as well as compliance in occupational environments where hazards exist. A connected variation
of PPE allows for rules to be configured in a given workplace based on employer-specified conditions.
As personal health and safety is critical, a system that can provide proactive alerts to users of potential
risks is a tool which may be used to complement or enhance existing health and safety program
policies, practices and procedures. The 3M™ Versaflo™ Connected PAPR TR-602N-CX is an
enhanced version of the Versaflo™ TR-600 as an IoT PPE device in the 3M™ Connected Safety
ecosystem.
Operation
WARNING
1. Worker alerts generated by the connected system should not to be used in place of existing
safety program policies, practices and procedures. They are designed to be supplemental to
an established safety program. To reduce the risks associated with exposure to workplace
hazards which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death, users should follow all
Safety Supervisor direction on how to respond to alerts that may be experienced. The user’s
situational awareness should remain as one of the primary safety aspects in determining if
there is a condition that requires attention or to immediately leave an exposure area. Always
follow integrated TR-600 alarms when present.
Inspect the package contents for shipping damage and ensure all components are present. Refer to the
3M™ Versaflo™ TR-600 Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) Assembly User Instructions for all
proper use, operation, care, inspection and maintenance guidance for your TR-600-CX Connected
PAPR assembly.
Connecting Your System
3M™ Connected Safety components integrated with the TR-600 PAPR use Bluetooth® Low Energy
(BLE) to connect and communicate with the 3M™ Connected Safety Hub. Powering on the blower unit
will automatically start the pairing process with the nearby Safety Hub it is associated with. If the
Safety Hub is in its Docking Station upon blower start-up, it must first be removed from the dock before
the devices will pair with one another. When the pairing process begins, an alternating pattern of green
and red LED’s flashing on the Safety Hub will be observed until the devices have been paired with one
another.
