  • Page 3: System Description

    The components of the CleanSpace EX system are shown in Section 10. The blower draws ambient air through the high efficiency filter and filter adaptor and supplies filtered air to the wearer via the mask. CleanSpace EX is a breath responsive respirator which means that it blows harder during inhalation and more softly during exhalation.

    WARNING: The battery shall only be charged in non-hazardous areas. Move out of the hazardous area before charging WARNING: CleanSpace EX uses a unique charger designed for use with CleanSpace EX only. Do not attempt to charge your CleanSpace EX with any other charger.

    The respirator automatically switches into Off Mode three (3) minutes after the respirator has been removed from the user’s face and the sensors detect that there is no breathing. To conserve battery life, CleanSpace respirators are designed to automatically switch from On Mode to Standby then to Off Mode when not being worn.
  • Page 9 FILTER WARNING ALARM CleanSpace EX has a Filter Warning Alarm, which is triggered when the filter is blocked. If the Filter Warning Alarm sounds (two beeps, repeated once per second) or the Filter Warning Alarm light comes on, you must move out of the contaminated area, and change the filter.
  • Page 10: Mask Fitting

    Selecting the right size of neck support is vital to achieving a good mask fit. Your CleanSpace respirator is supplied with three sizes of neck support, “S”, “M” and “L”. “S” (Small) is for people with smaller necks and heads while “L” (Large) is for those with larger heads and necks.
  • Page 11 No air in the eyes: With CleanSpace running, check no air leaks into your eyes. If it does, try tightening the mask, or loosen the harness a little (dropping the height of mask on the face). If those adjustments do not fix the problem, try a different size mask.
  • Page 12: Donning The Respirator

    13. Donning the Respirator Complete the following five steps each time you use your respirator. STEP 1 - INSPECT Before each entry into a contaminated area, the following inspections must be performed: • Visually check the entire respirator system including the blower, mask, harness, filter adaptor and filter. If parts are missing or damaged replace them only with approved parts before proceeding.
  • Page 13 Repeat the flow test. If filter is new and battery fully charged but the respirator fails the test, contact CleanSpace and do not use until it has been evaluated ** This test is not a battery charge test. Three LEDs means that, as of the moment it is tested, the unit can deliver high flow.
  • Page 14 Fit a Neck Support to CleanSpace PAPR The neck support has keyhole openings at each end which snap over buttons on the respirator case. Place the neck support in position against the buttons and then press firmly backwards (towards the respirator) to engage the buttons in the keyholes.
  • Page 15 Fit the Harness to the mask Orient the harness so there is a clip with a keyhole next to each arm of the mask and the rear harness strap is close to the respirator. Clip the harness to the mask and arrange it in front of the mask.
  • Page 16 Don the respirator and start to breathe. Place the blower behind your neck with the bellows and mask hanging down one side. Join the right hand Mask AirClip to the right hand respirator AirClip Find the Harness rear strap and the harness rear clip on the end of it.
  • Page 17 STEP 5 – CHECK MASK SEAL It is essential to do a positive pressure seal check every time you wear a CleanSpace Respirator. (With the mask on and the respirator running…) Locate PAF-1009, the red Seal Check Cap. Fit Seal Check Cap over the exhalation valve in the mask. The Cap should snap into place.
  • Page 18: Entering And Exiting The Contaminated Area

    • Using your fingers, feel around the perimeter of the mask for leaks. You will feel any leak as a cool flow of air over your finger. For greater sensitivity breathe out gently to raise the mask pressure. Wetting your fingers will make it easier to feel tiny leaks.

    Leave the contaminated area immediately if any of the following conditions occur: Any part of the system is damaged Airflow into the mask decreases or stops The battery of filter alarms are triggered (even if only the audible or only the visible alarm triggers) Breathing becomes difficult You feel dizzy or your vision is impaired...
  • Page 20: Fitting & Changing The Filter

    BLOCKED FILTER ALARM All CleanSpace respirators have a Filter Blocked alarm, which is triggered when the filter requires replacement (2 beeps, repeated every second). If the blocked filter alarm is triggered (2 beeps, repeated every second, red LED flashes), leave the contaminated area immediately and replace the filter.
  • Page 21 Check the blocked filter alarm as described below Figure 8 - Fitting a new HEPA Filter Use only NIOSH-approved CleanSpace filters. If used with other filters CleanSpace respirators are not NIOSH approved. Use of other filters may result in overexposure to contaminants and lead to sickness or death.
  • Page 22: Battery Information

    If the red Filter LED does not light or the alarm does not sound, check that the inlet of the filter is completely blocked. If the Filter LED and/or audible alarm are still not working, do not enter the contaminated zone. Contact CleanSpace for assistance. Figure 9 - Blocking the high capacity filter 17.
  • Page 23 Move out of the hazardous area before charging. WARNING: CleanSpace EX uses a unique charger designed for use with CleanSpace EX only. Do not attempt to charge your CleanSpace EX with any other charger. Do not use the EX Charger to charge any device other than CleanSpace EX.
  • Page 24: Cleaning

    We recommended that you clean your respirator after every use. The mask, blower, neck support and harness need to be cleaned separately. Disassemble the mask, neck support and harness from the blower before cleaning. CleanSpace Cleaning Wipes are recommended as a simple and effective method of cleaning the blower and masks. CLEANING THE MASK There are two methods for cleaning the mask.
  • Page 25 Misuse by cleaning the filter may result in overexposure to contaminants and lead to sickness or death • Using CleanSpace Cleaning Wipes, wipe down the outside of the blower. The blower can also be cleaned with a damp cloth. •...
  • Page 26: Periodic Maintenance & Checking

    19. Periodic Maintenance & Checking Recalibration You must recalibrate the internal pressure sensor any time that your CleanSpace EX is exposed to changes in temperature of more than 36°F (20°C). It is best practice to also re- calibrate if the unit has been in storage, particularly if the storage temperature is not known.
