Entering And Exiting The Contaminated Area - CleanSpace HALO CS3000 Bedienungsanleitung

12. Entering and Exiting the Contaminated Area

Prior to entering the contaminated area, complete the inspections and checks listed in these user instructions.
1. Ensure Seal Check has been done and motor is responding to your breathing.
2. Check no alarms (battery or filter) are sounding or flashing. If the work environment is noisy you may be
unable to hear the alarms. In this case you must follow the special precautions set out in Section 13.
3. Don the respirator. Check other PPE is being worn if required. Enter the work area
4. Do not remove the respirator until you have left the contaminated area. If you have an acute and spontaneous
health episode (ie experiencing dizziness) and believe removing the respirator while you leave the
contaminated area may help), remove the respirator with caution.
5. Leave the contaminated area immediately if any of the following conditions occur:
▪
Battery or filter alarms trigger.
▪
The system is damaged.
▪
Airflow in the mask decreases or stops.
▪
Breathing becomes difficult
▪
You feel dizzy or your vision is impaired.
▪
You smell or taste contaminants.
▪
Your face, eyes, nose or mouth experience irritation.
▪
You suspect the concentration of environmental contaminants has reached levels at which this respirator
may no longer provide protection or the oxygen/carbon dioxide levels change so that PAPRs should not
be worn.
6. Specific exiting and decontamination procedures may be in place for your workplace as part of the respiratory
protection program. Follow those procedures with the instructions below when removing the respirator.
DOFFING THE RESPIRATOR:
Remove the respirator by locating one of the Mask Release Clips (see Section 7) on either side of the respirators.
Squeeze the clip and gently pull the respirator from the mask. When the Respirator is removed, the motor/airflow will
continue to blow for 10 seconds and then automatically switch to Standby Mode when no breathing is detected.
There is no need to turn the respirator off. See Figure 22.
NOTE: Once In Standby Mode (Green Battery LEDS on), if the respirator is not donned (ie no breath is detected)
within three (3) minutes the Respirator will switch into Off Mode (Green LEDS off) and the motor will not be triggered
by the wearer's breathing.
