USER MANUAL – ENG
Important!
Before using the system, the user must become duly
familiar with possible risks in the workplace, and be
duly informed of the safe use of the personal prote-
ctive equipment. In case of any ambiguities, please
contact the manufacturer or your local distributor.
1. Introduction
1.1 Protective helmets CA-40, CA-40G a CA-40GW
They are designed exclusively for use with powered air purifying respira-
tors (hereinafter PAPR) CleanAIR
air line breathing apparatuses (hereinafter "compressed air systems
CleanAIR ") to provide protection of the respiratory tract.
®
CleanAIR is a system of personal respiratory protection based on the prin-
®
ciple 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 a breathing tube into a
protective mask or hood. The overpressure prevents contaminants from en-
tering 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. The
most appropriate combination of the head part with PAPR is defined accord-
ing to the type and concentration of pollutants in the working environment
and according to the work performed. The whole series of CA-40* enables
to select suitable protection for most industrial applications where good pro-
tection of the eyes, hearing, and head is also required in addition to the
necessary protection of the respiratory tract.
1.2 Safety helmet CA-40 with
welding shield
(hereinafter CA-40) – in addition to
efficient protection of the respiratory
tract, it also protects the head and
eyes and face during welding. Weld-
ing shield with a welding filter then
provides protection against harmful
electromagnetic radiation emitted in
arc welding processes and against
welding spatters.
1.3 Safety helmet CA-40G
with grinding shield
(hereinafter CA-40G) – in addition
to efficient protection of the respira-
tory tract, it also protects the head,
eyes and face against high speed
particles (indicated: A) and at the
same time provides basic protection
against harmful ultraviolet radiation.
1.4 Safety helmet CA-40GW
with grinding and welding
shield
(hereinafter CA-40GW) – in addition
to efficient protection of the respira-
tory tract, it also protects the head,
eyes and face against high speed
particles (indicated: A) and at the
same time provides basic protection
against harmful ultraviolet radiation.
Welding shield with a welding filter
then provides protection against
harmful electromagnetic radiation emitted in arc welding processes and
against welding spatters.
1.5 General information and precautions for use
• Safety helmet CA-40 must be used exclusively with PAPR CleanAIR
*
or with compressed air systems CleanAIR
al in conjunction with the user manual of PAPR CleanAIR
ual of the compressed air system CleanAIR
• Do not use in confined space, in the environment with lack of oxygen
(<17%) , in the oxygen-enriched environment (>23%), or in case of im-
**
mediate danger to life or health.
• Do not use in environments where the user does not know the type of
contamination or its concentration.
* including derived variants (CA-40, CA-40G, CA-40GW)
** concentrations stated may vary in different countries; please monitor
local regulations!
or with continuous flow compressed
®
. Therefore, read this manu-
®
or user man-
®
.
®
• 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 sys-
tem, incorporating a hood, gives little or no respiratory protection. Also,
there is a risk of a high concentration of carbon dioxide (CO
up and of oxygen deficiency occurring inside the headpiece.
• If the PAPR or the compressed air system cease to operate for any
reason whatsoever, the user must leave the contaminated workplace
without delay.
• During strenuous work, if the user's breathing becomes too intensive,
the positive pressure inside the hood may decrease and result in a de-
crease in the protection factor.
• The protective headpiece must fit tightly to the face to assure the proper
level of protection for the user. If a beard or long hair gets into the seal-
ing line, penetration may increase and the protection provided by the
system may decrease.
• Do not use, if any part of the system is damaged. The headpiece and
the air hose must be checked prior to each use. Possible cracks or
leaks may negatively influence the required level of user protection.
• Scratched or otherwise damaged visors must be replaced immediately.
• Do not remove the helmet from your head or do not turn off the PAPR
or the compressed air system CleanAIR
nated workplace.
• Use only original CleanAIR
®
ing respirator. Replace filters every time you detect change of odour in
supplied air from the respirator or if the alarm signalizing filter clogging
has been triggered.
• Filters designed for capturing solid and liquid particles (particle filters)
do not protect the user against any gases. Filters designed for captur-
ing gases do not protect the user against any particles. In the work-
place contaminated with both types of pollution, combined filters must
be used.
2. Instructions for use
• Before use of the new product, always check that the device is com-
plete and no damage occurred during transport. If not used, the helmet
should be stored in its packaging which will protect it against direct sun-
light, chemicals, and abrasive substances, and in which it cannot be
damaged by contact with hard objects/surfaces.
• Safety helmet CA-40 shall be used in premises with air temperature
*
within 0°C to 55°C and relative humidity within 20 % to 95 % Rh.
• Put on the safety helmet and check whether it fits correctly. Adjust the
headband position in the helmet if needed. Use the adjusting wheel on
the scruff to set the optimum size of the headband.
• The helmet is manufactured so that it absorbs the impact energy by
partial destruction or damage to the shell and head insert. Even in case
when such damage is not immediately apparent, each helmet exposed
to serious impact should be replaced.
• To ensure breathing protective features of the headpiece the face seal
must follow the user's face tightly. Correctly applied headpiece in com-
bination with the air flow supplied form overpressure in the face area
that prevents from intrusion of harmful substances into the respiratory
zone of the user.
• In all head parts, we suggest using a protective hood TYVEK (order no.
70 02 01) for hygienic reasons.
3. Setup and adjustments
Should this helmet provide adequate head protection against falling ob-
jects (under EN 397+A1), its size must be adapted to the size of the user's
head (55–63 cm). Adjusting wheel on the scruff must be used for secure
fit of the headband.
Do not apply glues, paints, solvents, or do not place any stickers, unless it
corresponds with instructions of the helmet manufacturer.
Unless suggested by helmet manufacturer, it is pro-
hibited to make any modifications, or remove any
original parts of the helmet. Helmets should not be
modified to fix any accessories to them in the manner
that is not suggested by their manufacturer.
3.1 Grinding/welding shield replacement
®
Welding shield (CA-40GW) replacement:
• Remove screws on sides of the safety helmet.
• Tilt the shield for easier removal.
• Pull the shield out of the anchoring pin on one side and then on the oth-
er side of the helmet.
• Apply the new shield in reverse order.
Welding (CA-40) or grinding shield (CA-40G) replacement:
• Carefully pull the face seal over individual pins arranged on the perim-
eter of the shield.
• Remove screws on sides of the safety helmet.
• Tilt the shield for easier removal.
