3. List of Warnings
This product is part of a system that helps protect against certain airborne contaminants.
WARNING: Properly selected, used, and maintained respirators help to protect against 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 or death. For proper use, consult an Occupational Health Specialist, refer to these User
Instructions, or contact CleanSpace Customer Service on [phone].
No PAPR can fully protect you if you are not clean shaven. CleanSpace Respirators are not suitable for users with facial hair.
IF A SATISFACTORY FIT FACTOR CANNOT BE ACHIEVED WITH ANY OF THE MASKS, CLEANSPACE RESPIRATORS MUST NOT BE USED.
CleanSpace Respirators are a complete respiratory protection system. In addition, some combinations of components have been approved for use in
some explosive atmospheres.
Only specific combinations of components have been approved for use in explosive atmospheres. Refer to Section 16. Approvals.
The IECEx / ATEX / ETL approvals apply only when all components are IECEx / ATEX / ETL approved. If the equipment is to be used in an explosive
atmosphere, ensure proper approval exists when purchasing spare parts and accessories.
Not all components and accessories shown in this manual carry IECEx / ATEX / ETL approval.
If working in intrinsically safe environments, before each of an intrinsically safe mask - check that the black conductive coating on the mask has not
been significantly damaged.
WARNING: The battery shall only be charged in non-hazardous areas. Move out of the hazardous area before charging CleanSpace Respirators.
WARNING: Be sure to remove the Seal Check Cap before entering the contaminated area. The cap blocks the exhalation valve, preventing your exhaled
air to be expelled from the mask. Failure to remove the cap will lead to a build-up of carbon dioxide in the mask, and may result in headache or
dizziness. Never leave the cap in place for more than 2 minutes!
DO NOT REMOVE THE CLEANSPACE RESPIRATOR UNTIL YOU HAVE VACATED THE CONTAMINATED AREA unless you have pressing health reasons to
do so (for instance if you are experiencing dizziness and believe removing the respirator while leave the contaminated area may help).
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE CORRECT FILTER TYPE IS SELECTED FOR THE CHOSEN APPLICATION.
If the Filter Warning Alarm is triggered (two (2) beeps repeated every second and red LED flashes), leave the contaminated area immediately and
investigate.
Using the CleanSpace Respirator after the Filter Warning Alarm has triggered can cause the flow to fall below the manufacturer’s Minimum Design
Flow, which may result in overexposure to contaminants and lead to sickness or death.
Use only CleanSpace filters with the CleanSpace Respirator. Use of other filters may result in overexposure to contaminants and lead to sickness or
death.
Do not charge the Power Unit with unapproved chargers, in enclosed cabinets without ventilation, near flammable liquids or gasses, or near sources
of high heat.
Do not use, charge, or store the device outside the recommended temperature limits.
If the Low Battery Alarm sounds (three (3) beeps repeated every second), leave the contaminated area immediately and recharge the battery.
Operating the respirator after the Low Battery Alarm has sounded can cause the flow to fall below the manufacturer’s Minimum Design Flow, and
may result in overexposure to contaminants and lead to sickness or death.
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.
WARNING: NEVER DRY THE MASK OR EXHALATION VALVE WITH A CLOTH THAT MAY LEAVE BEHIND LINT.

Mask Fit Requirements
No Gaps: There should be no visible gaps between mask and face.
No Creases: If the mask is overtightened, or is too large for the face, creases may appear near the mouth, or in the
centre of the bottom of the cushion. Loosen the mask, or try a smaller mask.
No gaps while looking down: Ensure no gaps exist between the bridge of the nose and the mask. Also check that the
mask has not come loose around the chin. If gaps appear, try to fit the chin further into the mask, accurately positioning
in the chin well. If that does not work, try a smaller mask.
No air blowing into the eyes: Ensure there is no air blowing into the eyes. If there is, try tightening the mask, or
loosening the harness slightly. If this does not work, try a different size mask.
Not uncomfortably tight: A good fit should be achieved without the mask being uncomfortably tight. Beyond a certain
point, tightening makes the fit worse, not better. If the bellows are visibly curving outward, they should be loosened.

CleanSpace Respirators USER INSTRUCTIONS
17
English
STEP 5 –CHECK MASK SEAL
A fit check must be conducted every time you wear the CleanSpace Respirator. Locate the red Seal Check Cap (PAF-1009). Fit
the Seal Check Cap over mask exhalation cap. The Seal Check Cap should snap into place. See figure below.
•Ensure the Seal Check Cap is security fitted. No air should be escaping from the exhalation valve.
•Breathe normally.
•Check for leaks by feeling around the edges of the mask. Exhale firmly to raise the air pressure in the mask.
If still unsure whether a leak is present, wetting fingers may make it easier to detect.
•If necessary, tighten the mask. To tighten the mask, place one hand against the back of the Power Unit, and the other on
the mask. Push the Power Unit and the mask towards each other. You will hear a series of clicks as the bellows tighten.
•Ensure the bellows are adjusted symmetrically.
Do not overtighten the bellows! If the front of the mask starts to cave in, the fit is too tight, leaks may appear. Press the Adjust
Buttons to loosen.
After adjusting, check for leaks again
Tilt head up, down, left, and right, checking for leaks in each position. Adjust if necessary.
Once no leaks are detected, the mask seal check is complete.
IF A SATISFACTORY FIT 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 on the following page.
NEVER LEAVE THE SEAL CHECK CAP IN PLAE FOR MORE THAN TWO (2) MINUTES!

CleanSpace Respirators USER INSTRUCTIONS
18
English
The Seal Check Cap must be removed 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 a buildup of carbon
dioxide in the mask, which could result in headache or dizziness.
Never leave the Cap in place for more than 2 minutes!
9. Using the CleanSpace Respirator with Full Face Mask
MASK FITTING –FULL FACE MASK
NOT –Intrinsically Safe
PAF-1106 Full Face Mask Small
PAF-1014 Full Face Mask Medium
Determine the correct mask size and achieve a good fit prior to using the CleanSpace Respirator.
Mask fitting must be carried out by a specialist / designated mask fitter. The fit must be confirmed by a quantitative fit test.
To carry out a quantitative fit test the specialist / designated mask fitter will require the S005-7174 Quantitative Fit Test
Instructions.
No PAPR can fully protect you if you are not clean shaven. CleanSpace Respirator is not suitable for users with facial hair.
MASK SELECTION GUIDELINES
No set of guidelines can ensure a good fit. Fit must be confirmed with a quantitative fit test.
The test is performed using a machine that compares the concentration of particles in the mask with that in the surrounding
atmosphere. One example is the PortaCount Respiratory Fit Tester, made by TSI Incorporated. CleanSpace Full Face Masks
come with a built-in sampling port and a sampling ball accessory which make it quick and easy to carry out a fit test.
To set up for the test, do the following. Firstly, we recommend you remove the inner mask as that makes access easier.

the ball to ensure the correct orientation.
Raise the rain cover.
Remove the sealing plug from
the fit test port.
Fit the mask sensing tube to the fit test port
(on a TSI PortaCount it is the clear tube).
Re-fit the inner mask. The inner mask is an essential part of the Full Face Mask and is required to complete the fit test. Don the
mask and begin the test, following the protocol provided with the fit testing machine. A CleanSpace Respirator with a clean
filter, a full battery, and the Power Unit on, should achieve a fit factor above 1000. If your result is below 1000, adjust the
mask and try again.
WARNING
If a satisfactory quantitative fit factor or a qualitative test pass cannot be achieved with either mask, the
CleanSpace Respirator must not be used.
Satisfactory quantitative fit factor results are as follows.
Test Type
Half Mask
Full Face Mask
Power On
1000
1000
Power Off

On completion of the fit test, the Full Face Mask must be prepared for use as follows.
Remove the Sensing Ball from the
Sensing Ball socket. Refit the orange
plug to the Sensing Ball Socket,
pushing it all the way in.
Remove the sensing tube from the fit
test port. Refit the plug to the fit test
port.
Lower the rain cover.

IF A SATISFACTORY FIT FACTOR CANNOT BE ACHIEVED WITH ANY OF THE MASKS, THE CLEANSPACE RESPIRATOR MUST NOT
BE USED.
USING THE CLEANSPACE RESPIRATOR WITH FULL FACE MASK
Complete the following steps each time you use CleanSpace Respirator with FULL FACE MASK.
Prior to entering a potentially contaminated area, the following inspection must be performed.
STEP 1 –INSPECT THE CLEANSPACE RESPIRATOR
•Visually inspect all the CleanSpace Respirator components, (Power Unit, mask, harness, filter adaptor, and filter). If any
components are missing or damaged, replace them only with approved CleanSpace Respirator parts before proceeding.
Check the top and bottom case of the Power Unit, and the Filter Adaptor (if fitted) for cracks or other damage. Do not use
the CleanSpace Respirator if there is any damage.
•Remove the filter and inspect it carefully. The seal must be clean, and free from damage of any kind. If necessary, the seal
and housing can be cleaned with a cloth dampened with water. (The filter media must not be exposed to water). Inspect
the surfaces behind the filter carefully for any sign that dust has leaked past a damaged seal. If dust is found, replace the
