3. System Description
CleanSpace2
™
is a complete NIOSH approved respiratory protection system (“respirator”). When used in
accordance with its NIOSH approval, the respirator helps reduce exposure to certain particulates. CleanSpace2
does not provide protection against vapors or gases and is not an intrinsically safe system. See NIOSH Cautions
and Limitations and the Approval Labels for CleanSpace2 for additional information on approvals.
The components of the CleanSpace2 system are shown in Section 9. The blower (“Power Unit”) draws ambient air
through the high efficiency filter (and filter adaptor if used) and supplies filtered air to the wearer via the mask.
CleanSpace2 is a breath responsive respirator which means that it blows harder during inhalation and more softly
during exhalation. The device continuously adjusts fan speed to maintain positive pressure in the mask. Should the
filter become blocked, an audible alarm will sound and the “Filter” light on the keypad will be illuminated. If the
battery voltage falls below the minimum required to sustain the designed flow rate, an audible alarm will sound.
WARNING
Properly selected, used and maintained respirators help reduce exposure to 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. For proper use, consult an Occupational Health Specialist, these user
instructions or contact CleanSpace Technology Customer Support on
[e-mail] or the website: cleanspacetechnology.com/welcome/

Properly selected, used and maintained respirators help reduce exposure to 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. For proper use, consult an Occupational Health Specialist, these user instructions or contact

No Half Mask or Full Facepiece PAPR can fully protect you if you are not clean shaven. CleanSpace2 is not suitable
for users with facial hair.
If a satisfactory quantitative fit factor or a passing qualitative test cannot be achieved with any of the masks,
CleanSpace2 must not be used. A satisfactory quantitative fit factor for half masks is 1000 for Power On testing and
100 for Power Off testing.
Do not use compressed air or a brush to clean the filter! HE filters are very easily damaged by compressed air or by
brushing. Misuse by cleaning the filter may result in overexposure to contaminants and lead to sickness.
If a satisfactory Seal Check cannot be achieved, do not enter the contaminated zone.
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

4
increased levels of rebreathed Carbon Dioxide, 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 minimum designed flow, which may result in overexposure to contaminants
and lead to sickness.
When fitting a new filter the blocked filter alarm shall be tested before the respirator is put back into service. See
the heading “Testing the Blocked Filter Alarm” below.
Use only NIOSH-approved CleanSpace filters. If used with other filters the CleanSpace2 is not NIOSH approved.
Use of other filters may result in overexposure to contaminants and lead to sickness.
CleanSpace2 is not intrinsically safe. Do not use in flammable or explosive atmospheres. Doing so may result in
injury or death.
Always correctly use and maintain the internal lithium ion battery packs. Failure to do so may result in fire or
explosion or could adversely affect respirator performance and result in injury, sickness or death. Do not charge the
on-board battery with unapproved chargers, in enclosed cabinets without ventilation, near flammable liquids or
gases, 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.
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.
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.
The Power Unit contains a battery, sensitive electronics and a motor. NEVER immerse it in water or use anything
wetter than a damp cloth to clean it.
The Steri-Plus Exhalation Filter (CS3039) is an electrostatic filter and its performance will be degraded by exposure
to certain organic solvents including isopropanol (IPA), xylene and toluene. Always remove the Exhalation Filter
before cleaning the mask. If there is a possibility that the Exhalation Filter has become contaminated with any
solvent, replace it.
You must recalibrate the internal pressure sensor any time that your CleanSpace2 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.

6. S - Special or Critical User Instructions
This respirator contains a system for synchronizing with your breathing and regulating mask pressure. This
system requires re-calibration whenever it experiences a change 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.
For the most accurate battery charge indication, the respirator must be plugged into its charger. To be sure
it is fully charged, plug in the charger and wait for all 3 LEDs to light solidly without flashing. If the 3
rd
LED is
flashing rapidly, the battery is 95% charged.
When fitted with HE + Nuisance Odor filter PAF-1108 the respirator offers nuisance level relief from
oOrganic vapors
oAcid gases
oAmmonia
that are below the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL). Nuisance level refers to concentrations not exceeding
the OSHA PEL or other government occupational exposure limits, whichever is lower.
Note: NIOSH does not evaluate the effectiveness of Nuisance Odor Filters for the removal of Nuisance
Odors.

PARTS OF THE RESPIRATOR
Your respirator can be used with either a standard filter (PAF-1102 or PAF-1103) or with a range of high capacity
filters (PAF-1003, PAF-1108 & PAF-1037). The high capacity filters are used with a filter adaptor (PAF-0038) and the
standard filters are used with a filter cover (PAF-1095). Most functions of the respirator are the same regardless of
which filter is being used. Where there are differences, they are explained in this manual.

POWER BUTTON
This button is used to switch between the three (3) operating Modes: “On”, “Standby” and “Off”
Mode.
i) Standby Mode is when the green battery indicator lights are on, the motor is not running and
there is no airflow to the mask. The respirator will automatically switch to Standby Mode within ten
(10) seconds of the user taking it off. If the respirator is in Off Mode it will switch to Standby Mode
when the Power button is pressed.
ii) On Mode is when the respirator is being worn, the motor is running and there is air flow to the mask. The motor
will start (called On Mode) when the respirator detects a change in pressure in the mask triggered by your breathing.
In On Mode you should hear the motor running and feel the airflow on your face. You can also switch to On Mode
(start the motor) from Standby Mode by pressing the Power button once.
iii) Off Mode is when the green battery indicator lights are off and the motor is not running and there is no air flow to
the mask. The respirator automatically switches into Off Mode three (3) minutes after it has been removed from the
user’s face and the sensors detect that there is no breathing.
To conserve battery life, the respirator is designed to automatically switch from On Mode to Standby then to Off
Mode when not being worn.
Important: CleanSpace2 switches into On Mode when it is in Standby Mode and the wearer starts to breathe. The
respirator can only switch into On Mode from Standby Mode.
FLOW TEST BUTTON
This button is used to check that the respirator is able to deliver its minimum designed flow. Pressing it
once, when the CleanSpace2 is in Standby Mode (not ON Mode), starts the flow test which lasts about 5
seconds. See Section 12 Step 3 for instructions on running the flow test.
BATTERY INDICATOR LIGHTS
Your respirator is equipped with an indicator of battery charge. There are three (3) battery indicator
lights. With the charger plugged in and three green lights lit, the battery is fully charged and has up to
eight (8) hours of operating time. The respirator should be fully charged before use.
If you need to be sure the battery is 100% charged plug in the charger. Even if the battery is fully charged, the 3
rd
LED will flash for at least three minutes while the respirator checks its condition. Once all 3 LEDs light solidly
without flashing the battery is at 100%.
For how to assess the level of charge, see Section 16.
When the battery approaches a level at which it would not be able to supply the Manufacturer’s Minimum Design
Flow, an alarm sounds (3 beeps, repeated once per second). All green battery lights are extinguished. If the low
battery alarm sounds you must leave the contaminated area immediately and recharge the battery.
Operating time is strongly affected by work rate, altitude, and other factors. The operating times quoted
above are average durations at moderate work rates at sea level. Actual operating times may vary widely
from average durations.
FILTER WARNING ALARM
CleanSpace2 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.
11. Mask Fitting
Before you use your respirator you must determine the right mask for your face and know how to adjust the machine
to achieve a good fit.
It is vital that your mask is the right size for your face and fits properly. Mask fitting must be carried out by a
specialist / designated mask fitter. The fit must be confirmed by a fit test performed according to OSHA

10
regulations 1910.134. A fit test must be performed during initial selection of a respirator, or whenever the user’s face
changes shape (for instance due to weight gain or loss) and at least annually.
Qualitative Fit Testing - To perform a qualitative fit test, follow the relevant standard and/or the instructions
provided with the test substance. A qualitative test provides only a PASS/FAIL result, not a fit factor.
Quantitative Fit Testing - To carry out a quantitative fit test your specialist mask fitter will require PAF-0025
PortaCount Adaptor and the accompanying S005-7174 Quantitative Fit Test Instructions. The PortaCount
Adaptor is an accessory that fits between the mask and the exhalation valve and allows the air in the mask to be
sampled. It comes with detailed instructions on how to carry out a quantitative fit test.
WARNING
No Half Mask or Full Facepiece PAPR can fully protect you if you are not clean shaven.
CleanSpace2 is not suitable for users with facial hair.
MASK SELECTION GUIDELINES
No set of guidelines can ensure that you have the right size mask for your face. You must confirm the fit
with a fit test performed according to OSHA regulations 1910.134.However, the information below will help your
mask fitting specialist to select the mask most likely to fit you, and may therefore save time.
Description Diagram
Face Width
Face Length
Using the above definitions of face width and length, the face size of a user can be determined by employing the
NIOSH panel below.

11
The table below specifies the fitting sequence that should be employed based on the face size of the user. The
‘fitting sequence’ is simply the order in which the face masks should be checked for fit.
Half Mask Fitting Sequence
NIOSH Panel Number First Try Then Try
1-2 Small Medium
3-7 Medium Small OR Large*
8-10 Large Medium
* If the medium mask fails initially, the mask fitting specialist will determine whether to try the small or large mask next .
CHECKING FIT BEFORE CONDUCTING A FIT TEST
Your mask fit must be confirmed by a fit test performed according to OSHA regulations 1910.134. But before
carrying out that test, you can watch for some simple signs that the mask is not fitted correctly.
Evaluating mask fit is best done with a buddy to help you check adjustments and fit!
No Gaps: There should be no visible gaps between your face and the mask. Have your buddy check.
No Creases: If the mask is pulled too tight, or is too large for the face, creases may develop at around the level of
the mouth or on the centerline at the bottom of the cushion. Loosen the mask a little or try a smaller mask.
Look Down: Look down and have your buddy check for a gap between the bridge of the nose and the mask. Also
check that the mask has not come loose around the chin. Try to fit the chin further into the mask. If that does not
work, try a smaller mask.
No air in the eyes: With CleanSpace2 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.
Check for Distortion: You should be able to achieve a good fit without the mask being uncomfortably tight.
Beyond a certain point, tightening the mask makes the fit worse not better: Check the outer surfaces of the
mask. They should curve outwards. If they are curved in towards the face, you have the mask on too tight.
Once you have achieved an acceptable mask fit and confirmed it with a fit test, record the mask size, neck pad size
(if any) and, if a quantitative test has been performed, the fit factor achieved.
WARNING If a satisfactory quantitative fit factor or a passing qualitative test cannot be achieved with any
of the masks, CleanSpace2 must not be used. A satisfactory quantitative fit factor for half masks
is 1000 for Power On testing and 100 for Power Off testing.

12
12. Using CleanSpace2
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 (“Power Unit”), mask, harness, filter
cover or filter adaptor and filter. If parts are missing or damaged replace them only with approved parts
before proceeding. Check the top and bottom case of the Power Unit, the Filter Cover and the Filter
Adaptor for cracks or other damage. Do not use the device if there is any damage.
•Remove the filter and check it carefully. The seal must be clean and free from damage of any kind. If
necessary it can be cleaned with a cloth dampened with water. Examine the visible internal surfaces for
any sign that dust has leaked past a damaged seal. If found, replace the filter. The body of the filter must
not be cracked or show any sign of damage. Examine the filter carefully for any sign that it has sustained
an impact or been scratched. If any sign of impact or scratching is found, discard the filter. Refit the filter
(see Section 15).
WARNING
Do not use compressed air or a brush to clean the filter! HE filters are very easily damaged by
compressed air or by brushing. Misuse by cleaning the filter may result in overexposure to
contaminants and lead to sickness.
•Check that the battery is fully charged by pressing the power button. All three battery LEDs must light.
See Section 16.
•Check both bellows for splits or holes. Check that the bellows have not become distorted so as to
partially or fully close the air path to the mask.
•Check the mask to ensure that there are no cracks, tears or dirt; check the mask is not distorted.
•Check the exhalation valve for damage or dirt build up. If it is dirty, remove the exhalation valve cover.
Remove any dirt, hairs or anything that could affect the seal of the valve against its seat. Check that the
valve seat is clean. Reinstall the valve cover. If the valve is damaged, replace the mask.
•Check the harness is intact and is not frayed or damaged. It must be adjusted to support some of the
weight of the respirator.
STEP 2 – CALIBRATE
This respirator contains a system for synchronizing with your breathing and regulating mask pressure. This system
requires re-calibration whenever it experiences a change 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. To re-calibrate:
1. Remove the mask (if fitted). The Flow Test Cap must not be fitted.
2. Remove the filter from the respirator. If using a standard filter, close the filter cover. If using the filter
adaptor leave it in place. Place the respirator on a stable surface such as a table.
3. With the respirator in standby mode (one or more green LEDs lit), press and hold both the Power button
and the Flow Test button.
If no LEDs are lit, press the Power button once to enter standby mode.
4. When both the blue and red LEDs light, release both buttons. Leave the respirator sitting still.
5. After 5 – 10 seconds the motor will start and run for 5 – 10 seconds.
6. When the motor stops, calibration is complete.
7. Re-fit the filter.
Important Note: Failure to remove the filter prior to calibration may result in reduced run times. In order to restore
performance of the respirator, calibration must be performed again with the filter removed.

13
STEP 3 – TEST FLOW RATE
This test checks that the machine is able to deliver the Manufacturer’s Minimum Design Flow of 115 liters/minute.
This check must be completed before entry into a contaminated area.
If no LEDs are lit, press the Power button once to enter standby mode.
1. Remove the mask from the respirator. Leave the filter in place.
2. Fit the yellow Flow Test Cap to the left bellow. See Figure 3.
Figure 3 - Flow Test
3. Make sure nothing is blocking the Flow Test Cap or the filter inlet. Place the respirator flat on a table or other
support.
4. Press and release the button marked “Flow Test”.
5. The respirator automatically runs the Flow Test. The motor will run fast and air will be discharged from the
Flow Test Cap.
6. After 2 seconds the respirator reports the result of the test using the LEDs on the keypad. Use the table below
to interpret the LEDs.
LIGHTS Meaning
3 LEDs: PASS (Excellent: flow >180 l/min)**
2 LEDs: PASS (Good)**
1 LED: PASS (Acceptable)
ALL LEDs
FLASH FAIL (Flow <115 l/min)
Do not use the respirator until a new filter has been fitted and / or battery charged
and the test has been repeated with a PASS result.
Reset the respirator by pressing the Power button. Fully charge the battery and / or
replace the filter. 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. It does not mean the battery is full. You must check the battery condition separately. See
Section 16.
7. Remove the yellow Flow Test Cap and store for later use.
To avoid unnecessary filter
changes, it is important to fit
the Flow Test Cap to the LEFT
bellow.
No air flows out of the right
bellow. Fitting the Flow Test
Cap to the right bellow will
result a FAIL result, even if the
filter is clean and battery fully
charged.

14
STEP 4 - DON THE RESPIRATOR
NOTE: Please read STEP 4 all the way through before beginning to don the respirator.
NOTE: If using the Elite Harness PAF-1030 please consult the instructions that came with that harness to
complete Step 4.
Locate your Power Unit, mask, neck pad and harness. Make sure the mask and neck pad are of the size that you
used for your last successful fit test.
Fit a mask to CleanSpace2
Examine the mask AirClips. One is open and one is closed. Find the one that is closed. Seen from above it is
on the right-hand side as shown in Figure 4. Locate the right-hand Power Unit AirClip. It is on the same side of
the Power Unit as the “Flow Test” button. See Figure 5.
Figure 4 - Right hand (closed) mask AirClip Figure 5 - Right hand Power Unit AirClip
Join the AirClip, so that the mask is attached to the Power Unit. See Figure 6 and Figure 7.
Figure 6 - Join AirClip

Place the Power Unit behind your neck with the bellows and mask hanging down one side. See Figure 16.
Hold the mask in your left hand and the harness in your right. See Figure 17.
Pull the mask around onto your face and the harness over your head. See Figure 18.
Press your chin into the cup at the bottom of the mask and your nose into the top section of it.
Fasten the AirClip on your left-hand side. See Figure 19 and Figure 20.
Reach up and pull the harness forward to settle it on your head. See Figure 21.

Breathe normally. The motor should start and you should feel fresh air on your face. If the motor does not start,
it was not in Standby Mode. Take the respirator off, press the Power button to activate Standby Mode and don
it again as described above.
Check the Harness
The Harness should take a little of the weight of the mask and support the Power Unit so that the respirator
system sits level on your head. If necessary adjust the harness. This is mostly done by shortening or

18
lengthening the front straps of the harness, by moving between the different button holes. Remember to
shorten or lengthen each side by the same amount. The length of the rear strap can be changed by adjusting
the length of the top loop of strap where it passes around an eye in the mesh “cap”. See Figure 22. To adjust
the strap, doff the respirator, adjust the strap, and don it again.

Tighten the mask on your face
Tighten the mask until you do not feel any leaks between the
mask cushion and your face.
To tighten the mask, place one hand against the back of the
Power Unit and the other over the front of the mask. Push
the Power Unit forwards and the mask back, tightening the
fit. You will hear a series of clicks as the mask is tightened.
See Figure 23.
Be careful to tighten each side by the same amount.

STEP 5 – CHECK MASK SEAL
It is essential to do a Seal Check every time you wear a CleanSpace2.
Locate PAF-1009, the red Seal Check Cap. Fit the Seal Check Cap over the exhalation valve in the mask. The Cap
should snap into place. See Figure 24.
Figure 24 - Fitting Seal Check Cap
Check that no air is flowing from the exhalation valve. Breathe normally. 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 firmly to raise the mask pressure. Wetting your fingers will make it easier to feel tiny leaks. If necessary

tighten the mask. To tighten the mask, place one hand against the back of the Power Unit and the other over the
front of the mask. Push the Power Unit forwards and the mask back, tightening the fit. You will hear a series of clicks
as the mask is tightened. Be careful to tighten each side by the same amount. After each tightening, feel for leaks
again. Tilt your head down (look at the ground) and up (look at the sky). Check that there are still no leaks. Look right
and left, checking for leaks. Adjust if necessary. Once you can feel no leaks from the mask, the seal check is
complete.
WARNING
If a satisfactory Seal Check cannot be achieved, do not enter the contaminated zone.
Remove the Seal Check Cap by gently twisting the handle so that one side of the cap comes loose from the
exhalation valve. Be careful not to dislodge the exhalation valve cover. See Figure 25
.
Figure 25 - Removing Seal Check Cap
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 increased levels of rebreathed Carbon Dioxide, and may
result in headache or dizziness. Never leave the Cap in place for more than 2 minutes!
STEP 6 – INSTALL STERI-PLUS EXHALATION FILTER (OPTIONAL)
First, ensure the Steri-Plus (CS3038 and CS3039) is assembled by following the instructions located in Section 15.
Then, remove the respirator and align the assembled case and filter to the valve cover so that the vents on the outer
case are at the bottom of the mask. Push the assembled case onto the exhalation valve until it clicks into place as
shown in Figure 26.
Figure 26 – Installing Steri-Plus Assembly

The CleanSpace2 is now ready to be re-donned for use. Re-don the respirator, repositioning the harness on your
head and tighten the mask bellows so the mask feels the same on your face as prior to fitting the Steri-Plus
Exhalation Filter. Ensure the mask fits snugly and that there are no leaks by feeling around the perimeter of the
mask for leakage while exhaling firmly.
13. Entering and Exiting the Contaminated Area
Prior to entering the contaminated area, complete the inspections and checks listed in these user instructions.
1. Ensure Seal Check has been done and motor is responding to your breathing
2. Check that none of the alarms are sounding.
3. Remember that if your workplace is very noisy you may not be able to hear the device alarms. In this
case you must follow the special precautions set out in Section 14.
4. Enter the work area
5. Do not remove the respirator until you have left 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).
6. Leave the contaminated area immediately if any of the following conditions occur:
a. Any part of the system is damaged.
b. Airflow into the mask decreases or stops.
c. The battery of filter alarms are triggered (even if only the audible or only the visible alarm
triggers).
d. Breathing becomes difficult.
e. You feel dizzy or your vision is impaired.
f. You smell or taste contaminants.
g. Your face, eyes, nose or mouth become irritated.
h. You suspect the concentration of contaminants may have reached levels at which this
respirator may no longer provide adequate protection.
7. Follow the exiting and decontamination procedures as documented in the workplace
Respiratory Protection Program.
To remove the respirator, find the Mask Release Button and press to release the mask from the blower (“Power
Unit”). See Figure 27.
The mask release button has a rough, dimpled finish that you can feel with your fingertips. All the other
buttons are smooth.
Figure 27 - Mask Release Button
Note: The respirator motor will automatically switch off and go into Standby Mode in approximately 10 seconds
when no breath is detected. In Standby Mode, if after three (3) minutes no breath is detected, the Respirator will
automatically go into Off Mode. In Off Mode, all the battery indicator lights will be off and the motor will not be
triggered by the wearer’s breathing.
WARNING
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).
