The SR 500 is a battery-powered fan that, together with a filter and an approved head top, is included in the Sundstrm fan-assisted respiratory protective device systems.

The human interface may consist of a hood, face shield, half mask or full face mask. The fan is equipped with a filter, and the filtered air is fed through a hose to the human interface. The pressure then generated prevents surrounding pollutants from penetrating into the mask.
