1. IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Please read the following installation, operation and maintenance instructions for the Cleaning Booth carefully. Always ensure
that the power is isolated before commencing any maintenance on this product. ALWAYS WEAR THE CORRECT PPE WHEN
INSTALLING, MAINTAINING AND OPERATING THE UNIT.
2. CLEANING BOOTH OVERVIEW
The JetBlack Safety Cleaning Booth is a self-contained, free-standing de-dusting system which is highly eective for removing,
extracting and collecting dust and debris from employee’s dirty work clothes. The Cleaning Booth incorporates a blower-
powered JetBlack Safety Cleaning Station. This unit delivers a high volume of ltered air at low pressure, sucient to remove
powders and dust eectively and safely, even when directed at exposed skin. In operation, the integrated Cleaning Station
is used by Booth occupants to dislodge all dust and bres. These are then drawn down and away through a grille oor by a
vacuum eect created by an external blower or extractor.
All removed materials are either collected in the extractor or can be directly connected into a client’s existing extraction
system.
DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT WITHOUT EXTRACTION CONNECTED! ENSURE THAT ALL BROKEN SKIN IS COVERED, DO NOT
DIRECT THE AIR AT BROKEN SKIN! DO NOT USE IN ATEX ZONES OR NEAR EXPLOSIVE SUBSTANCES!
The JetBlack Safety Cleaning Booth was created to be mobile or remain at a xed location for the life of the unit. In addition,
the Cleaning Booth is all electric and uses no compressed air – contaminated workers can continuously enter and exit the unit
without having to wait for a compressor tank to re-ll.

8. GENERAL OPERATION
EAR, EYE & RESPIRATION PPE IS REQUIRED BEFORE USING THIS BOOTH. MAKE SURE ALL BROKEN SKIN IS PROTECTED FROM
DUST AND AIRFLOW!
Only use this Booth when the pressure gauge reads in the green
area. If the Booth is working outside of the green zone, then there
may be a damaged item on the assembly. In this case stop using
the Booth immediately, isolate the supply & check all ducting &
collection parts thoroughly.
The Booth will automatically switch o if the gauge pressure
reads above 0.7kPa. In this case the main canister lter on the
extractor must be replaced before the Booth is operational again.
Contact your local JetBlack Safety representative, quoting the
part reference (found in the extractor manual) for a replacement.
Always isolate the electrical supply & wear correct PPE when
maintaining the Booth or extractor.
Switch on the power supply to the Booth control panel.
Turn on the main isolator at the rear of the Booth. Prior to
using the Cleaning Booth for removing dust from worker’s
clothing, the user must make sure they are wearing the correct Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) which normally includes:
• Dust mask or respirator
• Ear protection
• Eye protection - preferably goggles
Step-by-step Operation:
• Open the door, step into the Booth and close the door fully. The interior light and the extractor will turn on automatically.
The Cleaning Station can now be used.
• Press the touch pad to operate the Cleaning Booth. This is pre-set for a 30 second operation. If a longer clean down time is
required re-press the touch pad to re-start. If something should go wrong, during the course of a cleaning cycle, or you
simply want to stop the cleaning process, you have the option of stopping the Cleaning Station by pressing the touch
button at any time.
• During the cleaning cycle, the user should ensure all of their body is exposed to the airow from the Cleaning Station.
In most cases 20-30 seconds is a sucient cleaning cycle.
• Do not worry about getting to close to the airow of the Cleaning Station – it is perfectly safe and will not cause any
harm. In fact, the closer the airow to clothing and skin, the better the cleaning process.
• When you are suciently clean, turn o the Cleaning Booth and exit the Booth. The extractor will continue to run for a
time, and a lter agitator process will begin. This is standard operation and it ensures that any debris from the lter is
removed.
Please note
The Cleaning Station tted has a thermal shut-o device for safety purposes. Prolonged use may cause the unit to shut o. In
this case, switch the unit o and wait for a few minutes before re-using.
Spares lters for the Cleaning Station and the extractor can be purchased through Almeco. Replacement lters information is
as follows:
• JetBlack inlet lter – B3.003.054
• Extractor HEPA Filter – B3.004.285

12. LEV DATA
It is advised that anyone responsible for this equipment is aware of the risks associated with occupational dust exposure.
Make sure that this Booth is risk assessed and complies with COSHH regulations (Control Of Substances Hazardous to Health),
or alternatively the equivalent local regulations. This Booth product is LEV Compliant, so this may help your organisation
satisfy regulations.
For more information on reducing airborne dust or contamination consult your equivalent HSE website. For the UK this is;
www.hse.gov.uk/coshh For the US it is; www.osha.gov
When this Booth unit arrives with you it will have been fully tested at the factory along with a standard extractor & a length of
ducting.
All individual items are LEV compliant, but correct assembly & installation must take place (by a LEV service provider) to
make a fully compliant system. It is recommended that a full commissioning report is obtained prior to system use.
LEV Test Procedure
Once the Booth has been installed it should be tested for LEV compliance (if applicable). The following test procedure will
guide the LEV service provider into making a full, true & correct commissioning report.
1) Ensure that the Booth is installed as per section 7. Check all bags, lters & hoses are attached & that air is free to move
throughout.
2) When entering the Booth, the extractor should start & the light should illuminate.
These functions are operated by the roof mounted PIR. The black cleaning nozzle will
only work once the extractor & light are operational.
Check, with an anemometer, that the velocity through the front air inlet is at or near to
9m/s. This check should be completed with all airways open & the door fully closed.
Visually check the interior pressure gauge, it should read close to 0.6kPa & be well in the
green part of the gauge legend.
3) Press the touch switch to operate the Cleaning Station dust removal gun. This
should run for 30 seconds & then switch o automatically. The Cleaning Station should also be able to be switched on & o
by pressing the touch switch repeatedly. A total pressure measurement should be taken on the Cleaning Station gun, the
pressure should read near to 60”Wg (or 2 psi).
4) On exiting the Booth, the light & extractor should overrun for 1 minute. Once the light & extractor have switched o, and a
further minute has passed, the extractor will self-agitate to clean the large cannister lter. The agitate sequence should also
last 1 minute.
