1. Introduction
Clean-AIR is a respiratory protective system which is based on the principle of circulated overpressured air in
the hood. The belt-mounted blower unit delivers air through a filter and via an air hose into a headpiece (a hood
or mask). The supply of filtrated air creates positive pressure inside the headpiece, which prevents the external
contaminated air from entering the user´s breathing zone.
The supply of air also ensures the user comfortable breathing without him having to overcome the resistance of
the filters. For an adequate and effiicient protection it is necessary to choose the correct combination of a
respiratory unit, suitable filters and a protective headpiece.
Clean-air BASIC 2000 respiratory system meets the European standard EN12 941.
It provides protection against non-toxic and toxic particles, solid and liquid aerosols.

2. Preconditions for use
The user must read and understand all the following “ Instructions for Use” well to be able to use the
respiratory protective system correctly.
•Oxygen concentration in the surrounding area must not drop under 17%.
•Type and concentration of the contaminants in the working place must be known to the user.
•The Clean-AIR respiratory system must not be used in unventilated areas such as tanks, pipes, canals etc.
•The Clean-AIR respiratory system must not be used in areas with danger of explosion.
•Use the respiratory system only with the blower unit switched on.
•Check the air flow before use.
•If the blower unit stops working due to any reason, the user must leave the contaminated area immediately.
•If the blower unit is switched off, the respiratory system gives little or no respiratory protection. Also there is
a risk of high concentration of carbon dioxide (CO
2
) and of oxygen reduction inside the headpiece.
•Attention! During a load of really hard work negative pressure may occur inside the hood if the user’s
breathing becomes too intensive and thus the protective factor can decrease.
•Make sure that the headpiece fits the user´s face perfectly. Only then the efficiency of the system is
sufficient. The protective factor of the complete system is reduced if the seal of the headpiece is not fitted
properly, for eg. due to beards or long hair intervening into the seal line.
•Make sure that the air hose doesn‘t make a loop and doesn’t get caught on something in the surrounding.
Respiratory system CA BASIC 2000 is restricted for protection against solid and liquid particles only. Do not
use it against toxic gases and vapours.
It is essential to choose the correct type of filter according to the type of contamination. See the Instructions
for Using the Filters.
•A particle filter must not be used for protection against gases.
•A gas filter must not be used for protection against particles.
•If there is both particle and gas contamination in the workplace, an adequate combined filter must be used.
•When using filters protecting against gases which are difficult to identify by smell or other subjective feelings
special rules depending on the actual conditions must be followed.
•Immediately replace the filter(s) as soon as the contaminant can be smelt.
• Use only original filters certified for the particular respiratory system.
ATTENTION! If any of these conditions is not kept or followed, the warranty is automatically invalid.
3. Unpacking / Assembly / Usage
3.1. Unpacking
Check that the package is complete and that no part is damaged due to the transport or for other reasons.
A package with the complete system including accessories contains:
1. Blower unit incl. battery 1pc
2. Belt 1pc
3. Air hose 1pc
4. Air flow indicator 1pc for the unit type DUAL FLOW only
5. Battery charger 1pc
6. Instructions for use 1pc
The powered unit Clean-air BASIC 2000 is supplied incl. the filter PSL.
3.2. Assembly
1. Attach the respiratory unit onto the belt. Make sure that the filter(s) is (are) fitted properly.
2. Connect the air hose to the blower unit by a bayonet joint.
3. Connect the air hose to a headpiece.

3.3. Usage
CA BASIC 2000 DUAL FLOW
Switch on the unit by pressing the ON/OFF button on the control panel. There are
two arrow-buttons on the switch board: ECO / TURBO. By using the two arrow-
buttons it is possible to set the airflow at a lower level (ECO) or at a higher level
(TURBO). The TURBO mode makes protection more efficient then the ECO mode,
however in cold environment the higher airflow could be uncomfortable.
With a new clean filter and a fully charged battery the unit supplies aprox. 160l/min at ECO and aprox. 210 l/min
at TURBO modes. The supply of air slowly decreases by filter clogging. In order to assure that the airflow level is
sufficient, perform the Air Flow Test regularly – chapt. 4..2.
CA BASIC 2000 FLOW CONTROL
Switch on the unit by pressing the ON/OFF button on the control panel. The airflow
can be adjusted by two arrow-buttons from 140 l/min up to 210 l/min. The number of
lit Green LED diodes shows the actual airflow level.
The unit ensures a constant supply of air. The microprocessor inside the unit
automatically regulates the motor speed to compensate the filter clogging and the
battery state. If the microprocessor cannot keep the adjusted airflow, the alarm starts (an acoustic signal can be
heard and the LED diodes come on red). If possible, the microprocessor automatically reduces the airflow to the
next lower level. When the airflow falls below the minimum level, the alarm intensifies. Then the user must stop
working at once and change the filter or recharge/change the battery.
To check the alarm function: perform Air Flow Test– chapt. 4.2.
To check the battery state: Press and hold the left arrow-button for more than 1second. The more LED diodes
come on (red) the higher the remaining battery capacity is.
To check the filter: Press and hold the right arrow-button for more than 1second. The more LED diodescome
on (orange), the more clogged the filter is.
After releasing the arrow-buttons, the LED diodes return back to the green light indicating the actual airflow.

4. Before use
4.1. Inspection before use
Each time before starting work check that :
�all components are in good condition with no visible damage (like holes, tears etc.) Replace any
damaged or worn parts. Carefully examine the air hose, seals and the facepiece.
�there is a good connection between the air hose and the headpiece as well as the blower unit
�there is sufficient air flow. (see chapt. 4.2.)
�the air is supplied through the whole respiratory system from the blower to the hood.
Charge the battery before the first use, see chapt. 6.2.
4.2. Air Flow Test
CA BASIC 2000 DUAL FLOW
1. Disconnect the air hose from the hood.
2. Insert the indicator (the light ball) into the air hose connector and keep the hose in vertical position at
about the eye level.
3. Switch the power unit on. The airflow is sufficient if at least half of the indicator can be seen. If the
indicator sinks deeper into the hose connector, the airflow is less then 120 l/min. In that case it is
necessary to charge the battery or change the filter. If the problem still persists, see chapter 7 for
additional suggestions.
CA BASIC 2000 FLOW CONTROL
1. Disconnect the air hose from the hood.
2. Cover the disconnected end of the air hose with your hand. The blower starts to run faster after about 20
seconds, the audible alarm activates and the LED diodes on the control panel start blinking.
3. Release the hand . The blower speed should decrease.
If the blower speed does not change, it is necessary to check the unit as described in chapter 7.
5. Maintanence / Cleaning
It is recommended to clean the respiratory system after each use. Also inspect all parts and replace any which
are damaged or worn.
•Always clean the respiratory unit in a ventilated room or outside. Be aware of harmful dust settled on
any parts of the unit.
•Never use flammable cleaning liquids or abrasive cleaners !
•The outer surface of the blower unit can be cleaned with a soft cloth wet slightly in a mild solution of
clean water andmild detergent. Dry it properly afterwards.
•Ensure that no water or detergents enter into the blower unit !
•The air hose itself, detached from the blower unit and the headpiece, can be rinsed in clean water.
6. Spare parts / Replacing spare parts
6.1. Filter
CA BASIC 2000
The respiratory power unit is equipped with a high efficiency particle filter of class PSL.
The filter must be regularly checked (see Air Flow Test - chapter 4.2.) and replaced.
Make sure that the new filter is within its expiry date, unused and not evidently damaged.
From the hygienic point of view the maximum working time of a filter is 180 hours and should not be exceeded.
It is prohibited to clean the filter by any procedure!
The particle filter can be used with a Pre-filter or with an Odour filter which removes the unwanted smell of
harmless gases.
CHANGING THE FILTER OF CA BASIC 2000 …................... see picture supplement no.1

7. Fault finding
If there is a sudden change in air supply while using the Clean-air system, it is necessary to check the following:
•That all parts of the air-supplying system are assembled properly.
•The battery and its connector.
•Whether the charger is notfaulty or malfunctioning (if so, diodes do not work).
•Filters and their clogging.
•That there is not a hole in the air hose.
•Whether the hood seal is not damaged.
Whether the working time after a full recharging of the battery has not decreased (if so, it is necessary to
replace the battery).
Fault –finding guide:
8. Storage
All parts of a Clean-air system must be stored in environment with temperature range 0-40°C and humidi ty
range 20-80% Rh. The storage life is 2 years for the product if stored in original unopened package.
NOTE: Batteries get discharged even if not in use. Therefore in case of a long-term storage it is fully
recommended to charge the NiMH batteries every 12 months.
9. Warranty
There is a 12 month warranty covering production defects , a 6 month warranty for batteries. Warranty begins
from the date of purchase. The claim must be lodged at the dealer’s place. The invoice or receipt must be
declared if claiming the warranty.
The claiming procedure will be successful only on condition that there were no changes made on the blower
