Working In Noisy Environments; Fitting & Changing The Filter - CleanSpace HALO CS3000 Bedienungsanleitung

13. Working in Noisy Environments

CleanSpace respirators have two audible and visual (2) alarms for battery and filters. If the environment is noisy
and the user will not hear the alarms, the following precautions must be taken:
•
Do not enter the contaminated zone unless all three green battery indicator lights are illuminated
•
Do not work in a high noise area for more than four (4) hours. At the end of four (4) hours, leave the
contaminated zone and check;
o
The filter blocked light is not illuminated; AND
o
All three green battery indicator lights are still illuminated
•
If two or fewer green battery indicator lights are illuminated, recharge CleanSpace Respirator until 3 lights are
showing again (and the 3
•
If the filter blocked light is illuminated, change the filter
•
Be alert for breathing difficulty, increased resistance or air flow stopping. If these things happen, exit the
contaminated zone immediately.
14. Fitting & Changing the Filter
Before using the respirator you must ensure that you are using the correct filter type for the environment you are
working in.
▪
Always change the filter outside of the contaminated area and with the respirator removed
▪
CleanSpace filters are NOT reusable and must NOT be cleaned. Cleaning the filter may cause damage.
▪
Used filters should be disposed of responsibly and treated as non-recyclable hazardous* waste (dependent on
the contaminant being filtered).
▪
Change the filter is the filter is damaged or there is suspected damage.
▪
Filters should be changed regularly. The frequency of filter replacement depends on several factors: period of
use, concentration of airborne contaminants, exertion levels and workplace protocols where hazards present a
risk for cross contamination (ie biohazards or asbestos).
BLOCKED FILTER ALARM
CleanSpace respirators have a Filter Blocked Alarm that triggers when the filter needs to be replaced. The Filter
alarm signals by red flashing LED lighting up on the keypad and an audible two (2) beeps, repeated every second.
When exiting the contaminated area, the audible Filter Alarm can be muted by pressing the power button once. The
audible Filter Alarm will resume if i) after 15 minutes the filter has not been changed or ii) the device is switch on and
donned again without the filter being changed.
If the blocked filter alarm is triggered (2 beeps, repeated every second, red LED flashes), leave
the contaminated area immediately and replace the filter. Operating the respirator when the
blocked filter alarm is sounding can cause the airflow to fall below the manufacturer's
minimum designed flow, and may result in mask leak and exposure to contaminants leading
WHEN TO CHANGE THE FILTER
•
Blocked Filter Alarm triggers – audible (2 beeps per second) and visual (Red flashing LEDS).
•
The Flow Test indicates that the respirator is not able to produce the Minimum Design Flow.
•
The filter is heavily soiled or wet.
•
Any sign of damage or suspected damage to the filter.
•
The filter reaches its expiry date. The expiry date is marked on the filter label.
•
Signs of dust or contaminants on the inside surface of the filter.
A respirator with a clean filter will run for much longer than one with a filter that contains dust contaminants. To
maximise your work time between battery charges, change the filter often in high dust environments.
