Introduction
Protective helmets CA-40, CA-40G a CA-40GW
they are designed exclusively for use with powered air purifying respirators (hereinafter PAPR) CleanAIR
or with continuous flow compressed air line breathing apparatuses (hereinafter "compressed air systems
CleanAIR
®
") and thus provide protection of the respiratory tract.
CleanAIR
is a system of personal respiratory protection based on the principle of overpressure of filtered air
®
in the breathing zone.
The respirator is placed on the wearer's belt and filtrates the air which is taken in from the surrounding
environment and then delivers it through a breathing tube into a protective mask or hood. The overpressure
prevents contaminants from entering the breathing zone. This mild overpressure at the same time ensures
the wearer's comfort, even with long-term use, as the wearer does not have to struggle in their breathing to
overcome the resistance of the filter.
The most appropriate combination of the the head part with PAPR is defined according to the type and con-
centration of pollutants in the working environment and according to the work performed. The whole series
of CA-40
enables to select suitable protection for most industrial applications where good protection of the
1
eyes, hearing, and head is also required in addition to the necessary protection of the respiratory tract.
Safety helmet CA-40 with welding shield
(hereinafter CA-40) – in addition to efficient protection of the respiratory tract,
it also protects the head and eyes and face during welding. Welding shield with
auto-darkening filter
V9-13 DS then provides protection against harmful ultravi-
2
olet / infrared radiation and welding spatters.
Safety helmet CA-40G with grinding shield
(hereinafter CA-40G) – in addition to efficient protection of the respiratory tract,
it protects also the head, eyes and face against high speed particles (indicated:
A) and at the same time provides basic protection against harmful ultraviolet
radiation.
Safety helmet CA-40GW with grinding and welding shield
(hereinafter CA-40GW) – in addition to efficient protection of the respiratory
tract, it protects also the head, eyes and face against high speed particles
(indicated: A) and at the same time provides basic protection against harmful
ultraviolet radiation. Welding shield with auto-darkening filter
provides protection against harmful ultraviolet / infrared radiation and welding
spatters.
Approval, certification
Safety helmet CA-40
is tested and approved in compliance with requirements of the European standard EN

12941/A2 for the use with powered air purifying respirators CleanAIR
continuous flow compressed air line breathing apparatuses. All parts of the system used must be approved
by the manufacturer and used in compliance with instructions stated herein.
WARNING AND BASIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Before using the system, the user must become duly familiar with possible risks in the
workplace, and be duly informed of the safe use of the personal protective equipment. In
case of any ambiguities, please contact the manufacturer or your local distributor.
