3. System Description

CleanSpace EX is a complete NIOSH approved respiratory system. When used in accordance with its NIOSH

approval, the respirator helps to provide respiratory protection against particulates. CleanSpace EX does not provide

protection against vapours or gasses. See NIOSH Cautions and Limitations and the Approval Labels for CleanSpace

EX.

The CleanSpace EX system holds multiple approvals for use in explosive atmospheres. See the Approval Section of

these user instructions for additional information on approvals. CleanSpace EX is not certified for mines use where

MSHA approval is required.

The components of the CleanSpace EX system are shown in Section 10. The blower draws ambient air through the

high efficiency filter and filter adaptor and supplies filtered air to the wearer via the mask. CleanSpace EX 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 to protect against certain airborne

contaminants. 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, see your Occupational Health

Specialist, these user instructions or contact CleanSpace Customer Service on 1 888 804 0038

4. List of Warnings within these User Instructions

WARNING

This product is part of a system that helps protect against certain airborne contaminants. Misuse may result in sickness or death. For proper use, see

your Occupational Health Specialist, these user instructions or contact CleanSpace Customer Service on 1 888 804 0038

WARNING

Properly selected, used and maintained respirators help to protect against certain airborne contaminants. 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,

see your Occupational Health Specialist, these user instructions or contact CleanSpace Customer Service on 1 888 804 0038

This respirator contains a system for synchronising 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 3rd LED is flashing rapidly, the battery is 95% charged.

The IECEx / ATEX / ETL approvals apply only when all components are IECEx / ATEX / ETL approved. Therefore when purchasing spare parts and

accessories, always make sure of their proper approval if the equipment is to be used in an explosive atmosphere. See Approvals (below) for details.

The battery must not be charged whilst the respirator is located in an explosive atmosphere.

IF A SATISFACTORY FIT FACTOR CANNOT BE ACHIEVED WITH ANY OF THE MASKS, THE RESPIRATOR MUST NOT BE USED

DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR OR A BRUSH TO CLEAN THE FILTER!

HEPA 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 or death.

IF A SATISFACTORY FIT 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 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 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 or death.

WHEN FITTING A NEW FILTER THE BLOCKED FILTER ALARM SHALL BE TESTED BEFORE THE RESPIRATOR IS PUT BACK INTO SERVICE. SEE “TESTING THE

BLOCKED FILTER ALARM”

Use only NIOSH-approved CleanSpace filters. If used with other filters CleanSpace respirators are not NIOSH approved. Use of other filters may result

in overexposure to contaminants and lead to sickness 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 gasses, 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

WARNING: The battery shall only be charged in non-hazardous areas. Move out of the hazardous area before charging

WARNING: CleanSpace EX uses a unique charger designed for use with CleanSpace EX only. Do not attempt to charge your CleanSpace EX with any

other charger. Do not use the EX Charger to charge any device other than CleanSpace EX.

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 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. Lint contamination of the exhalation valve

may cause it to leak, resulting in overexposure to contaminants and lead to sickness or death.

WARNING: The blower contains a battery, sensitive electronics and a motor. NEVER immerse it in water or use anything wetter than a damp cloth to

clean it.

You must recalibrate the internal pressure sensor any time that your CleanSpace EX 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.

9. Respirator Program Management

Occupational use of respirators must be in compliance with applicable health and safety standards. By United States

regulation employers must establish a written respiratory protection program meeting the requirements of the

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) respiratory Protection standard 29 CFR 1910.134 and any

applicable OSHA substance specific standards. For additional information on this standard contact OSHA at

www.OSHA.gov. In Canada, CSA standard Z94.4 requirements and/or the requirements of the applicable jurisdiction

must be met. Contact an industrial hygienist or CleanSpace Technical Service with questions concerning the

applicability of the respirator to your job requirements.

11. Controls and Indicators

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 off the respirator. 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 the respirator has been

removed from the user’s face and the sensors detect that there is no breathing.

To conserve battery life, CleanSpace respirators are designed to automatically switch from On Mode to Standby

then to Off Mode when not being worn.

Important: The respirator switches into On Mode when the respirator 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 respirator is in Standby Mode (not ON Mode), starts the flow test which lasts about 5

seconds. See Section Error! Reference source not found. 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 typically

has six (6) 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 3rd

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 the Battery Information section below.

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

CleanSpace EX 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.

12. 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 quantitative fit test performed according to

OSHA regulations 1910.134.

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.

No PAPR can fully protect you if you are not clean shaven. CleanSpace respirators are not

suitable for users with facial hair.

SELECTING A MASK SIZE

No set of guidelines can ensure that you have the right size mask for your face. You must confirm the fit

with a quantitative fit test. But the table below will help your mask fitting specialist to select the mask most likely to

fit you, and may therefore save time.

SELECTING A NECK SUPPORT

Selecting the right size of neck support is vital to achieving a good mask fit.

Your CleanSpace respirator is supplied with three sizes of neck support, “S”, “M” and “L”. “S” (Small) is for people

with smaller necks and heads while “L” (Large) is for those with larger heads and necks.

As a general rule, use the smallest size neck support that is comfortable. Start with a size smaller than you

think will be right and work up. A smaller neck support positions the blower further from your neck and will

give you the greatest freedom of movement, particularly for looking up.

You should be able to fully tighten the mask on your face and achieve a good seal without using up all the travel

in the respirator’s adjustment system. If you have to fully compress the bellows to achieve a good fit, change to a

smaller neck support (for instance use the support marked “S” instead of “M” or “M” instead of “L”). If the mask is too

tight around your neck even with the adjustment system at full extension change to a larger neck support (use the

support marked “L” instead of “M” or “M” instead of “S”).

CHECKING FIT BEFORE QUANTITATIVE TEST

Your mask fit must be confirmed by a quantitative 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.
