List of Warnings within these User Instructions
This product is part of a system that helps protect against certain airborne contaminants.
WARNING: Properly selected, used and maintained respirators help to protect against certain airborne contaminants by reducing concentrations in
the wearer’s breathing zone. It is essential to follow all instructions and government regulations on the use of this product
, including wearing the
complete respirator system during all times of exposure, in order for the product to help protect the wearer. Misuse of respirators may result in
overexposure to contaminants and lead to sickness or death. For proper use, see an Occupational Health Specialist, these user instructions or
contact CleanSpace Customer Service on +612 8436 4000
No PAPR can fully protect you if you are not clean shaven. CleanSpace Respirator is not suitable for users with facial hair.
IF A SATISFACTORY FIT FACTOR CANNOT BE ACHIEVED WITH ANY OF THE MASKS, CLEANSPACE PAPRs MUST NOT BE USED
CleanSpace PAPRS are a complete respiratory protection system. In addition some combinations of components have been approved for use i n
some explosive atmosphere. Refer to Section 16. Product and Accessory Information.
Not all of the components shown below have been approved for use in explosive atmospheres. See Approvals Section below for details.
The IECEx / ATEX approvals apply only when all components are IECEx / ATEX approved. Therefore when purchasing spare parts and accessories,
always make sure of their proper approval if the equipment is to be used in an explosive atmosphere. Not all components and accessories shown in
this manual carry IECEx / ATEX approval.
If working in intrinsically safe environments, before each use with the intrinsically safe masks - check that the black conductive coating on the mask
has not been significantly damaged.
The battery shall only be charged in non-Hazardous areas. Move out of the hazardous area before charging CleanSpace PAPRs
WARNING: For CleanSpace EX - Charging voltage Um = 14.7V from an / via an EX certified intrinsically safe Category I (Ex ia) device
CleanSpace EX uses a different charger from all other CleanSpace devices. Do not attempt to charge your CleanSpace EX with a charger from a
CleanSpace2 or CleanSpace ULTRA. The EX Charger is also not suitable for charging those devices.
WARNING: Be sure to remove the Seal Check Cap before entering the contaminated area. The Cap blocks the exhalation valve, making it more
difficult for your exhaled air to be expelled from the mask. Failure to remove the cap will lead to build-up of Carbon Dioxide in the mask, and may
result in headache or dizziness. Never leave the Cap in place for more than 2 minutes!
DO NOT REMOVE THE RESPIRATOR UNTIL YOU HAVE VACATED THE CONTAMINATED AREA unless you have pressing health reasons to do so (for
instance you are experiencing dizziness and believe removing the respirator while you leave the contaminated area may help)
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE CORRECT FILTER TYPE IS SELECTED FOR THE CHOSEN APPLICATION.
If the blocked filter alarm is triggered (2 beeps, repeated every second, red LED flashes), leave the contaminated area immediately and replace the
filter.
Operating the respirator after the blocked filter alarm has sounded can cause the flow to fall below the manufacturer’s minim
um designed flow,
which may result in overexposure to contaminants and lead to sickness or death.
Use only CleanSpace filters with the CleanSpace PAPRs power units. Use of other filters may result in overexposure to contaminants and lead to
sickness or death.
Do not charge the on-board battery with unapproved chargers, in enclosed cabinets without ventilation, near flammable liquids or gasses, or near
sources of high heat
Do not immerse the device in water
Do not use, charge or store the device outside the recommended temperature limits
If the battery alarm sounds (3 beeps, repeated every second), leave the contaminated area immediately and re-charge the battery.
Operating the respirator after the low battery alarm has sounded can cause the flow to fall below the manufacturer’s minimum
designed flow,
which may result in overexposure to contaminants and lead to sickness or death.
IN THE EXTREMELY RARE CIRCUMSTANCE THAT THE BATTERY IS DAMAGED AND ELECTROLYTE COMES IN CONTACT WITH EYES, FLUSH WITH WATER
IMMEDIATELY AND SEEK URGENT MEDICAL ATTENTION
WARNING: NEVER DRY THE MASK OR EXHALATION VALVE WITH A CLOTH THAT MAY LEAVE BEHIND LINT.
Lint contamination of the exhalation valve may cause it to leak, resulting in overexposure to contaminants and lead to sickness or death.
WARNING: The blower contains a battery, sensitive electronics and a motor. NEVER immerse it in water or use anything wetter than a damp cloth
to clean it.
WARNING: NEVER CLEAN THE FILTER WITH COMPRESSED AIR OR A BRUSH. HEPA FILTERS ARE EASILY DAMAGED BY THE USE OF COMPRESSED AIR
OR BY BRUSHING.
Misuse of CleanSpace Respirator by cleaning the filter may result in overexposure to contaminants and lead to sickness or death.
You must recalibrate the internal pressure sensor any time that the CleanSpace PAPR is exposed to changes in temperature of more than 20°C.

Special or Critical User Instructions
CleanSpace PAPR contains a system that detects and corrects for changes in altitude. This system requires re-calibration
whenever it experiences a change in temperature of more than 20°C. See Section 15 for instructions on how to recalibrate
CleanSpace PAPR.
If using a CleanSpace EX (PAF-0060) - The IECEx / ATEX approvals apply only when all components are
IECEx / ATEX approved. Therefore when purchasing spare parts and accessories, always make sure of their proper approval
if the equipment is to be used in an explosive atmosphere. Not all components and accessories shown in this manual carry
IECEx or ATEX approval. See Approvals (below) for details. The battery must not be charged whilst the respirator is located
in an explosive atmosphere.
