1. Introduction
CleanAIR®is a system for airways protection which
works on an overpressure basis. The powered respira-
tory unit worn on a belt blows air through a lter and a
hose into a safety hood or a safety mask. The stream
of ltered air forms slight positive pressure inside the
headtop which prevents inleakage of harmful pollutants
from environment air to the breathing zone of the user.
Due to such air supply the user is guaranteed com-
-fortable breathing without having to get over the bre-
athing resistance of the lters.
To ensure e󰀩cient protection, it is necessary to choose
a suitable combination of a powered respiratory unit
and protective headtop. It is also important to use the
right lters of the same type.
The powered respiratory unit CleanAIR®Chemical 3F
meets the standards of EN 12941/A2 and 12942/A2. It
provides protection against non-toxic and toxic particles
and harmful gases according to the lters you use.
2. Instructions for use
Please read the „Manual for use“ carefully and follow
the considerations for users. The user must be per-
fectly familiarized with the correct way of using his
protective device and must understand its limitations.
Please read the cautionary instructions and keep them
as reference.
• Oxygen concentration in the working area must not
drop to less than 17%.
• The user must know the kind of contamination and
its concentration in the environment air.
• The powered respiratory unit must not be used in
conned spaces, e.g. closed reservoirs, tanks or
containers, tunnels, canals, ducts.
• It is forbidden to use the powered respiratory unit in
explosive environment.
• Use the powered respiratory unit only if it is swit-
ched on.
• Each time before using the powered respiratory unit
check if the airow is su󰀩cient.
• If the powered respiratory unit stops working proper-
ly for any reason, the user must leave the contami-
nated area promptly.
• As for the ltration systems with a hood, when the
CleanAIR unit is switched o󰀨, the protection of the
airways is small or even none. The increase of car-
bon dioxide concentration and decrease of oxygen
concentration inside the hood is also possible if the
unit is switched o󰀨.
• During strenuous work negative pressure might de-
velop inside the hood during breathing in and thus
decrease the protection factor.
• The headtop (either hood or mask) must be proper-
ly sealed to the face to ensure perfect protection.
If long hair or hairs of a beard get into the sealing
line, the inleakage will increase and the protection
provided by the system will decrease.
• Note that the air hose connecting the powered respi-
ratory unit and the headtop can make a loop and can
get caught on protruding objects nearby.
The powered respiratory unit CA Chemical 3F provides
protection against solid and liquid particals as well as
against gases and vapours always depending on the
type of lters you use.
It is vitally important to choose appropriate lters for
di󰀨erent kinds of contamination. Follow the instruc-
tions in the Manual for Using Filters.
• Filters destined for trapping solid and liquid par-
-ticles do not protect the user from any gases.
• Filters destined for trapping gases do not protect the
user from any particles.
• For working environment contaminated by both
kinds of pollution it is necessary to use combined
lters.
• For gases which are di󰀩cult to identify it is necessa-
ry to follow special rules.
• Replace the lters whenever there is an odour
change on the air coming into the headtop.
• Use only certied original lters determined for your
powered respiratory unit.
CAUTION! Violation of any precepts for usage of
your powered respiratory unit automatically annuls
the Warranty!

Basic description of usage and functions
CA Chemical 3F Plus
The unit can be switched on by pressing any of the
two controlling push-buttons shortly. Individual ow
levels can be changed by shortly pressing buttons
and . Instantly after switching the unit on you can
see information about the supplier of your powered
respiratory unit on the display; during the second vi-
sual display, you can go over to the MENU by pressing
both buttons at the sane time for 2 seconds; last the
information display will visualize giving you the fo-
llowing information: the actual ow level, the present
state of lter clogging and of baterry charging. For
better orientation, these specications are distingui-
shed by correspondent pictograms. The Flow Cont-
rol System keeps the air-ow steady irrespective of
the lter clogging or the degree of battery charging.
If it is impossible to keep the chosen air-ow, you will
hear an acoustic signal. If it is possible, the electro-
nics will automatically decrease the air-ow by one
level. If the unit is unable to keep the lowest practicable
air-ow, you will be warned by alarm and the reason for
this alarm as well as the instructons for needful inter-
vention into the unit will appear on the display. Next it
is urgent to stop work immediatelly and to replace the
lter or battery, eventually to charge the battery.

4. Before usage
4.1. Control procedure before each usage
Make sure that:
• All components are all right without any visible vio-
lence or damage (above all there must not be any
cracks, holes, leakage).
• Replace any damaged and worn-down parts. Be
particular about the good state of the air supply hose
and of the sealing components
• The hose is connected correctly to the powered re-
spiratory unit as well as to the headtop; after swit-
ching the powered respiratory unit on, air is brought
into the headtop; the air-ow in the hose is su󰀩cient
(Point 4.2.)
• Charge the battery before using it for the rst time,
see Point 6.2.
4.2. Air-owtest
Disconnect the air hose.
• Screw the air ow meter into the output thread of
the unit; then hold the unit in upright position at eye-
-level.
• Switch the lter unit on. The ow amount is satis-
factory if the ow meter oat is in the green eld. If
it is in the red eld (see picture attachment), the unit
must be inspected (see Chapter 7).
5. Maintainance and cleaning
• Always clean your CleanAIR® unit after nnishing
work. Check all parts by detail and replace damaged
parts.
• Cleaning must be done in a well ventilated room.
Beware of breathing in harmful dust settled on indi-
vidual parts of the lter unit and accessories!
• Do not use cleaning agents with solvents or abra-
sive cleaners in any case.
• The outer surface of the lter unit can be cleaned
with soft fabric moistened in solution of water and
usual washing-up liquid. After cleaning dry individual
parts properly.
• Do not allow water or other liquid to get into the lter
unit!
• The air hose can be washed out with clean water
after disconnection from the unit.
6. Spare parts replacement
CA Chemical 3F
There are three lters attached to the unit with thread
RD40x1/7“. The vital rule is to use a set of three lters
of the same type at a time!
Install only new lters without any damage.
It is forbidden to clean a lter or blow through it in
any way!
From the hygiene point of view it is recommended not
to leave a lter in the unit for more than 180 working
hours! It is also possible to use a pre-lter which holds
larger particles and especially aerosols which can stick
up the lter during paint-spraying and thus it prolongs
the life time of the lter.
Replacement of lters CA Chemical 3F
see Picture appendix no.2
Picture 2A :
Demounting is done by unscrewing each lter sepa-
-rately anticlockwise.
Caution! Before mounting new lters, make sure the
new lters are undamaged, in the original pac-king and
their service life is not expired (expiry is marked directly
on the body of the lter). Check also whether the seals
at the connecting points of the lters and the lter unit
are unfaulted and safe.
Picture 2B :
New lters are mounted one by one clockwise. It is ne-
cessary to be particular about screwing them tight to
ensure tightness of the joints.
6.2. Batteries
Important! Batteries are delivered uncharged. Each
time before using a battery for the rst time charge it.
The battery charger is not made for outdoor service. It
can be used only in premises protected against rain
and moisture. Never charge the battery in potentcially
explosive atmosphere. It is forbidden to use the batte-
ry charger for other purposes than those determined
by the producer. Charging starts after connecting the
charger to the power supply and the battery. As soon
as the battery is fully charged, the charger will switch
over to maintainance cycle and the battery stays fully
charged all the time. The charging time is 3-4 hours.
6.2.1. Battery charging
1. Check that the mains voltage is right for the
battery charger.
2. Connect the charger to the mains.
3. Connect the charger to the charging connector

7. Possible faults
In case of any fault, a sudden decrease or increase of
air supply when the user is in a contaminated working
area, it is vital to leave the place and to check the fo-
llowing:
• Whether the unit is correctly assembled.
• Battery charging.
• The function of the battery charger.
• Filter clogging.
• Whether the air hose is not damaged. It is necessary
to make sure that the air hose does not get caught
on protruding objects and that there will not originate
a rupture during work.
• Whether the sealing of the safety hood is all right.
• In case of working time reduction at one charging it
is necessary to replace the battery.
8. Storage
All parts of the CleanAIR®system must be stored at
temperatures between -10°C and 55°C with relative air
humidity inbetween 20 and 95 % Rh. Maximum storage

1. Einleitung
Das gebläseunterstütze Atemschutzsystem Clea-nAIR
arbeitet auf einer Überdruckbasis. Die am Gürtel getra-
gene Gebläseeinheit zieht Luft durch einen Filter und
bläst sie in eine Schutzhaube oder -maske. Der Strom
gelterter Luft bildet im Kopfteil einen leichten Über-
druck und verhindert so das Eindringen von Schad-
sto󰀨en aus der Umgeb-ungsluft in den Atembereich
des Benutzers. Hierdurch wird für den Benutzer ein
angenehmes Atmen sichergestellt ohne den Atemwi-
derstand eines Filters überwinden zu müssen.
Um e󰀩zienten Schutz zu gewährleisten ist es nötig,
eine passende Kombination aus Gebläse und Kopf-teil
zu wählen. Ebenfalls wichtig ist der Einsatz der korrek-
ten Filter.
Das gebläseunterstütze Atemschutzsystem Cle-
anAIR CHEMICAL 3F erfüllt die Anforderungen der
EN 12941/A2 und 12 942/A2. Es bietet Schutz gegen
toxische und nicht toxische Partikel sowie Gase je
nach Art der benutzen Filter.
2. Bedienungshinweise
Bitte lesen Sie die folgenden Hinweise gründlich durch.
Der Benutzer muss unbedingt mit dem korrekten
Einsatz des Gerätes vertraut sein und seine Anwen-
dungsbeschränkungen kennen.
Bitte lesen Sie sich die folgenden Sicherheitshinweise
durch und bewahren Sie sie zur Sicherheit als Hinweis
auf.
• Der Sauersto󰀨gehalt im Einsatzbereich darf nicht
unter 17 % betragen.
• Der Benutzer muss Art und Konzentration der
Kontamination im Einsatzbereich kennen.
• Das gebläseunterstütze Atemschutzsystem darf
nicht in beengten Räumen wie zum Beispiel Tanks,
Containern, Tunneln oder Kanälen ein-gesetzt
werden.
• Ein Einsatz in explosionsgefährdeten Bereichen ist
nicht gestattet.
• Benutzen Sie das Gebläsesystem grundsätzlich nur
im eingeschalteten Zustand.
• Vor jedem Einsatz des Gebläses ist der Luftstrom zu
prüfen.
• Sollte die Gebläseeinheit aus irgendeinem Grund
im Laufe des Einsatzes nicht mehr korrekt
funkti-onieren muß der kontaminierte Bereich
unver-züglich verlassen werden.
• Beim Einsatz einer Haube ist zu beachten daß bei
eingeschaltetem Gebläse der Schutz nur noch
minimal oder gar nicht mehr gegeben ist. Ebefalls
kannn es bei ausgeschaltetem Gebläse zu einem
Anstieg der Kohlendioxid- und einem Abfall
der Sauersto󰀨-Konzentration in der Haube
kommen.
• Bei anstrengenden Arbeiten kann es in der Maske
zu einem Unterdruck und somit zu einem ge-
ringeren Schutzfaktor kommen.
• Das Kopfteil (entweder Haube oder Maske) muss
das Gesicht korrekt versiegeln damit ein maxima-
ler Schutz gegeben ist. Sollten lange Haare oder
Barthaare einen korrekten Sitz verhindern, führt dies
zum Eindringen von Umgebunngsluft und somit zu
einem geringeren Schutz.
Bitte beachten Sie daß der Verbindungsschlauch
zwischen Gebläse und Kopfteil Schlaufen bilden
kann, mit denen Sie an vorstehenden Objekten hän-
gen bleiben könnten.
Der Schutz, denen Ihnen das gebläseunterstütze
Atemschutzsystem CA Chemical 3F gegen feste und
üssige Partikel sowie gegen Gase bietet ist immer ab-
hängig von der Art der eingesetzen Filter!
Es ist von größter Wichtigkeit für verschiedene
Arten der Kontamination die passenden Filter zu
wählen. Folgen Sie unbedingt den Anweisungen im
Handbuch für Filterbenutzung.
• Filter für feste und üssige Partikel bieten keiner-
lei Schutz gegen Gase.
• Gaslter bieten keinerlei Schutz gegen feste oder
üssige Partikel.
• In Arbeitsumfeldern, in denen beide Arten der
Kontamination vorkommen ist ein Kombinati-
onslter einzusetzen.
• Für Gase, die schwer identizierbar sind, sind
besoondere Sicherheitsrichlinien einzuhalten.
• Wechseln Sie die Filter sobald Sie in der ins Kopfteil
geblasenen Luft einen Geruchsunterschied wahr
nehmen.
