USER MANUAL (ENG)
Important
Please read and remember the following instructions before use to
ensure your own safety. If you have any questions, please contact the
manufacturer or your distributor. Keep the manual for future reference.
The welding helmet should be used only for the purposes listed in this
manual.
1. Introduction
When used in accordance with these instructions, the CleanAIR
Verus air is designed to protect the user´s eyes and face from harmful ra-
diation including visible light, ultra-violet (UV), infra-red (IR) radiation and
hot sparks and spatters resulting from arc welding and cutting applica-
tions such as MIG, MAG, TIG, SMAW, Plasma Arc, Carbon Arc gouging.
This auto-darkening welding helmet is not recommended for heavy duty
overhead welding applications, laser welding or Iaser cutting applications.
The CleanAIR Verus air is adapted for use with powered air purifying
®
respirators (hereinafter PAPR) CleanAIR
pressed air breathing apparatuses (hereinafter „compressed air system")
CleanAIR and thus provides 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 the airduct into the
protective helmet. 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.
2. Before you start working
• Ensure that the helmet is correctly assembled and that it completely
blocks any accidental light. In the front, light may enter the helmet only
through the viewing area of the auto-darkening welding filter.
• Adjust the headgear to ensure maximum comfort and to provide the
largest field of vision.
• Check the prescribed shade level for your welding application and ad-
just your auto-darkening filter accordingly (see the table with recom-
mended shade levels).
• Inspect that the protection plates are undamaged, clean and installed
correctly. Replace the plate immediately, if it is damaged, or if spatter or
scratches reduce vision.
• Inspect that the welding filter lens is undamaged and clean. The dam-
aged welding filter lens impairs protection and visibility and must be re-
placed immediately.
• Inspect that the welding helmet and headgear are undamaged.
WARNING – CleanAIR Verus / CleanAIR
®
• Use only original CleanAIR / AerTEC™ spare parts and consumables.
®
In case of doubt, please contact your authorized distributor. The use of
substitute components or any modifications not specified in this manual
might impair protection and may invalidate claims under the warranty
or cause the product to be non-compliant with protection classifications
and relevant standards and certificates.
• Never place the helmet or the auto-darkening welding filter on hot sur-
face.
• Scratched or damaged protection plates should be regularly replaced
by original CleanAIR ones. Before using a new protection plate, make
®
sure to remove any additional protection foil from both sides. Use the
CleanAIR Verus / CleanAIR
® ®
ture range of -5°C to +55°C.
• Do not use tempered mineral filters without suitable protection foils.
• Replace protection plate immediately, if it is damaged, or if spatter or
scratches reduce vision.
• Do not expose the auto-darkening welding filter to liquids and protect
it from dirt.
• Materials which may come into contact with the wearer's skin could
cause allergic reactions to susceptible individuals.
• Welding helmet worn over standard ophthalmic spectacles may trans-
mit impact, thus create a hazard to the wearer.
Limitations on use of CleanAIR
Never use the helmet in the following environments and
under the following conditions:
• if oxygen concentration in the environment is lower than 17 %,
• in oxygen-enriched environments,
• in explosive ambience,
• in environments that represent an immediate threat to the life and
health.
The helmet does not protect against hard shocks, explosions or corrosive
substances.
or with continuous flow com-

Do not use in environments where the user does not know the type of con-
tamination or its concentration.
Do not use when the powered air purifying respirator is turned off or when
the compressed air inlet is closed! In this case the respiratory system
gives little or no respiratory protection. Also there is a risk of a high con-
centration of carbon dioxide (CO
occurring inside the helmet.
Move to a secure location and take appropriate measures when any of the
following problems occur while using the helmet:
• if the PAPR or the compressed air system cease to operate for any rea-
son whatsoever, the user must leave the contaminated workplace with-
out delay,

• if you experience stench or irritation or an unpleasant taste while
®
breathing.
• if you feel unwell or if you experience nausea.
Filters designed for capturing solid and liquid particles (particle filters) do
not protect the user against any gases. Filters designed for capturing gas-
es do not protect the user against any particles. In the workplace contami-
nated by both types of pollution, combined filters must be used.
3. Control, maintenance and spare parts replacement
CleanAIR Verus is a complete welding helmet consisting of the welding
®
shield including auto-darkening filter and headband. Version CleanAIR
Verus air has additional air distribution. The lifetime of the helmet and vi-
sors is influenced by many factors such as: cold, heat, chemicals, sunlight
or incorrect use. The helmet should be checked on a daily basis of possi-
ble damage of its inside or outside structure.
Careful use and correct maintenance of the welding helmet enhances op-
erating life and improves your safety!
Cleaning:
• After each work shift, clean the head section, check individual parts,
and replace damaged parts.
• Cleaning must be performed in a room with sufficient ventilation. Avoid
inhalation of harmful dust settled on individual parts!
• For cleaning, use lukewarm water (up to +40 °C) with soap or other
non-abrasive detergent and a soft brush.
• It is prohibited to use cleaning agents with solvents.
• After cleaning individual parts with a damp cloth, it is necessary to rub
them dry or let them dry at room temperature.
• It is recommended to use CleanAIR
and plastic parts.
• Do not use dishwasher or dryer!

Sensitivity can be adjusted from 1 to 9. Higher number means higher
sensitivity.
Sensitivity guideline
Sensitivity settings is used to tell the auto darkening lens how sensitively
it should respond to the welding arc and interferences. Due to different
working environments and properties of welding processes, adjustments
may be required. Sensitivity should be determined by the following fac-
tors: applications, amperage of applications, interference: Applications
(Stable arc, such as DC TIG, non-stable arc, MMA/STICK, MIG, Plasma
etc.) Amperage of Applications (Extreme low, low-medium, medium-high)
Interference (Direct strong sunlight, strong fluorescent lights, neighbor
welding arc etc.)
) building up and of oxygen deficiency
