Based on the US Government M50/JSGPM (Joint Services General Purpose Mask) Program, the 53-Series Protective Mask was specifically developed to meet the unique requirements of Special Operations Units. The 53-Series Protective Mask was developed to counter the multiple threats encountered on the modern battlefield, war on terrorism and peace keeping operations around the world. It provides excellent protection against traditional chemical and biological warfare agents, select Toxic Industrial Materials (TIMs) and particulate matter including radioactive dust.

The M53 will function as a conventional negative pressure mask as well as with a range of SCBA (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus) and PAPR (Powered Air Purifying Respirator). This is achieved without the need to remove or change any components. CCBA (Closed Circuit Breathing Apparatus) capability is provided with an exhalation valve adapter.

■ Removal of Flexible PAPR Module reverts system back to Avon EZAir mode

Avon Protection introduces a new generation of CBRN Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR), the Avon MP-PAPR system.

A departure from traditional rigid plastic construction systems, the Avon MP-PAPR is the world’s first flexible PAPR unit, constructed from the same field proven chlorobutyl rubber, as used for the Avon 50 series masks range.

The Avon MP-PAPR module delivers a compact and easily integrated PAPR unit providing cooling, lower user burden and reduced pulmonary stress.

The unique shape and construction allows the wearer to mount the PAPR in multiple ways, maximizing integration while delivering higher protection levels and improved well being.

Multiple product approvals allow the user to add Avon MP-PAPR to existing fielded systems such as the 50 Series APR’s, convert into a combination PAPR (Avon CS-PAPR) or revert back to an Avon EZAir configuration.

Avon’s state-of-the-art ST54™ Tactical Operator SCBA has been developed specifically for the tactical officer and technician applications where the operator needs to respond to ever changing operational conditions.

The ST54™ SCBA is the base to a multi-mission Respiratory Protection System which provides for operational flexibility to the operator and mission commanders in the field to tailor the PPE response based on the available intelligence. Depending on the threat or operational situation at the scene of an incident, the ST54 SCBA can be configured to provide the appropriate protection.

The ST54™ SCBA combines Avon Protection Systems’ M53A1, FM53 and FM54 respirators (see respirator datasheets for further details) with new and innovative modular breathing apparatus technology to provide positive pressure SCBA and/or PAPR capability. The ST54™ system provides the operator with total flexibility to select the necessary level of protection quickly and efficiently without degradation of operational effectiveness. Designed with the tactical mission in mind, the system incorporates non-reflective black components and warning whistle which can be silenced.

The standard ST54™ backframe two piece composite assembly with universal cylinder band to accommodate a variety of DOT approved stealth black cylinders from 4500- 5500 psi; 30, 45, 60, and 70 minute duration (70 minute only available with 5500 psi system).

Cylinder Valve The ST54™ includes a non-locking black painted brass cylinder valve.

Cylinder MonitoringThe ST54™ backframe option includes a remotely accessible, chest mounted pressure gauge for monitoring pressure and a whistle end of service alarm which has the option to be disabled if required.

Compact Demand Valve (CDV) 40mm The world’s smallest, most compact chemically hardened demand valve provides constant positive pressure.

The CDV can be mounted to either side of the respirator. It is unobtrusive and allows excellent integration with weapons and other tactical gear.

Avon’s revolutionary ST53™ multi-role Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) system has been developed specifically for specialist applications where the user needs to respond to changing operational conditions.

For the first time, the operational flexibility required by specialist users from their respiratory protection system is being offered in a purpose designed product. Depending on the threat or operational circumstances at the scene of an incident ST53™ can be configured to provide the required protection mode.

The ST53™ combines Avon Protection Systems’ FM53™ mask (see FM53 datasheet for further details) with new and innovative modular breathing apparatus technology to provide positive pressure SCBA and/or PAPR capability. The ST53™ system provides the operator with total flexibility to select the necessary level of protection quickly and efficiently whilst continuing to operate effectively. Designed with stealth applications in mind, the system incorporates non-reflective black components and a warning whistle which can be silenced.

OPTION

C

Cylinder Valve

The ST53™ includes a nickel-plated brass cylinder valve with the option of locking and non-locking configurations.

Cylinder Content Monitoring

The ST53™ backframe option includes a remotely accessible, chest mounted pressure gauge for monitoring of pressure and a whistle for end of service alarm which has the option to be disabled if required.

Compact Demand Valve (CDV)

The world’s smallest, most compact chemically hardened demand valve provides constant positive pressure.

With the option to mount on either side of the mask, it is unobtrusive and allows excellent integration with weapons and other personal equipment.

The CDV is attached to the mask via the standard 40mm thread connection.

The standard ST53™ with full back frame offers 4.7 litre, 6.8 litre and 9 litre lightweight carbon cylinder options.

OPTION

A

The Avon CS-PAPR™ is the newest generation of CBRN Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) designed for use in Combination Unit Respirators. The capability to change levels of protection dependent on the threat, now provides the wearer with increased duration on target and safer operation.

Utilizing the Avon MP-PAPR module along with the patented combination hose module, the wearer can seamlessly switch between APR, PAPR and SCBA modes of protection. The single air hose connection for all modes allows the wearer to retain a clear mask cheeks for optimum weapon sighting.

The low profile shape of the Avon CS-PAPR delivers best in class integration
