CleanSpace Respirators
Before changing the filter on the respirator, move out of the contaminated area and remove the respirator. Used filters should
be disposed of responsibly and treated as non-recyclable hazardous* waste (* dependent on the contaminant being filtered).
Filters need to be regularly changed. The frequency of change depends on use and concentration of contaminants in the
atmosphere.
BLOCKED FILTER ALARM
All CleanSpace Respirator respirators have a Filter Blocked alarm, which is triggered when the filter requires replacement (2
beeps, repeated every second).
If the blocked filter alarm is triggered (2 beeps, repeated every second, red LED flashes), leave the contaminated area
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.
(Pressing the Power button once will mute the Filter Blocked alarm, allowing you to concentrate while you exit the
contaminated zone. After 15 minutes, if the filter has not been changed, the alarm will resume).
WHEN TO CHANGE A PARTICULATE FILTER
Change the filter

When the Blocked Filter Alarm sounds

If the Flow Test indicates that CleanSpace Respirator is not able to produce the Minimum Design Flow.

If there is any sign of damage to the filter

When the filter reaches its expiry date (marked on the filter label)

When the outside of the filter is heavily soiled

When the filter is wet

If there is any sign of dust or contaminants on the inside surface of the filter.
A CleanSpace Respirator with a clean filter will run for much longer than one with a filter that is dirty. To maximise your work
time between battery charges, it is best to change the filter more often.
CleanSpace filters are NOT reusable and must NOT be cleaned.
DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR OR ANY OTHER MECHANICAL METHOD TO CLEAN THE FILTER!
HEPA FILTERS ARE VERY EASILY DAMAGED BY THE USE OF COMPRESSED AIR OR BY BRUSHING.
Misuse of CleanSpace filters by improperly cleaning the filter may result in overexposure to contaminants and lead to

sickness or death.
We recommend changing the pre-filter daily. Prior to opening
the filter cover and removing the pre-filter, clean the outside
of the respirator with CleanSpace Cleaning Wipes or a damp
cloth to prevent potential contamination of the inside of the
Power Unit. To unlock the filter cover lift the pin located on
the end of the filter cover.
The filter cover should easily swing open exposing the pre-
filter. Remove the used pre-filter and replace with a new pre-
filter, taking care not to disturb the particulate filter. Swing the
filter cover back into its closed position and press the pin down
