1. Introduction
CleanAIR® is a personal respiratory protection system based on overpressure of filtered air in the breathing zone.
The powered air purifying respirator (hereinafter referred to as the "PAPR") sucks in air from the surrounding environment and
supplies it to the protection hood or mask. The resulting overpressure prevents contaminants from passing into the breathing
zone. At the same time the light overpressure ensures high user comfort even when worn for a long time, because there is no
need to overcome any breathing resistance of the filter. The system keeps the selected airflow regardless of the filter clogging
or the degree of battery charge.
To ensure efficient protection, it is necessary to choose a suitable combination of PAPR unit and protective headtop. It is also
important to use the proper filters of the same type in regards to the kind of contamination and its concentration.
The CleanAIR® Chemical 2F Plus meets the requirements of the EN 12941 and EN 12942. Depending on the filters used, it pro-
vides protection against non-toxic as well as toxic particles and harmful gases.
2. Instructions for use
Carefully read and follow the instructions stated in this user manual. The user must know exactly how to use the protective
equipment correctly.
•
If, for any reason, the PAPR unit stops working, the user must leave the contaminated environment immediately. It applies
even though the system provides sufficient protection according to EN 12942 while switched off.
•
If used with the hood when the unit is switched off, the respiratory protection is low or none. In that case there is a risk
of rapid increase of concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease of oxygen concentration. The situation when the unit is
switched off when used with the hood is abnormal.
•
CleanAIR® Chemical 2F Plus must not be used when the amount of incoming air is insufficient.
•
CleanAIR® Chemical 2F Plus must not be used in areas where oxygen concentration is below 17%.
•
CleanAIR® Chemical 2F Plus must not be used in areas where the user has no knowledge about the nature of contamina-
tion or its concentration.
•
CleanAIR® Chemical 2F Plus must not be used in areas where there is a risk of explosion.
•
CleanAIR® Chemical 2F Plus must not be used in confined spaces, such as closed tanks, tunnels, sewers, etc.
•
Before each use, check the airflow with the enclosed flow indicator. The flow rate is insufficient if the top edge of the
cone is in the red zone (see Section 4.2 "Airflow test").
•
Worn headtops must fit tightly onto face to ensure declared level of protection for the wearer. If a beard or long hair inter-
feres with the sealing line, this may negatively affect the protection provided by the system.
It is very important to choose appropriate filters for the relevant kind of contamination.
Follow the instructions in the user manual enclosed with the filters.
•
The unit provides protection against different contaminants depending on selected filters.
•
Filters designed for filtering solid and liquid aerosols do not protect the user against gases.
•
Filters designed for filtering gases and vapours do not protect the user against particles.
•
Gas filters, ie filters designed exclusively for gas filtration, do not contain a particulate liner and therefore cannot be used
with FVJ.
•
Filters must not be attached directly to the hood.
•
Use only original CleanAIR® particle or combined filters designed for your CleanAIR® Chemical 2F Plus PAPR unit.
•
Always replace the filters if you notice a change in the smell of the air coming out of the unit.
•
CleanAIR® Chemical 2F Plus does not remove carbon monoxide (CO) or carbon dioxide (CO
•
Filters designed for filtering mercury are prohibited to use for longer than 50 working hours.
•
Always follow your local regulations for using PAPR units, filters and PPE.
If any rule or instruction stated in this manual is not observed, the warranty becomes null and void!

with EN 1149-1 or EN 61340-4-9.
•
The user may only enter the zone with the filter-ventilation system in place and switched on.
•
The battery must not be charged in an explosive atmosphere.
•
In the zone, the user may only wipe the lens with a damp cloth.
•
It is forbidden to enter the zone with a battery that is not secured by a safety screw.
•
The user must not remove the battery in the zone.
•
Equipment classification must meet the requirements of the employer's explosion protection document, ie the "Exlosion
Protection Document (EPD)".
