1. Introduction
Clean-AIR is a respiratory protective system which is based on the principle of circulated overpressured air in
the hood. The belt-mounted blower unit delivers air through a filter and via an air hose into a headpiece (a hood
or mask). The supply of filtrated air creates positive pressure inside the headpiece, which prevents the external
contaminated air from entering the user´s breathing zone.
The supply of air also ensures the user comf
ortable breathing without him having to overcome the resistance of
the filters. For an adequate and effiicient protection it is necessary to choose the correct combination of a
respiratory unit, suitable filters and a protective headpiece.
Clean-air BASIC 2000 respiratory system meets the European standard EN12 941.
It provides protection against non-toxic and toxic particles, solid and liquid aerosols.

2. Preconditions for use
The user must read and understand all the following “ Instructions for Use” well to be able to use the
respiratory protective system correctly.
• Oxygen concentration in the surrounding area must not drop under 17%.
• Type and concentration of the contaminants in the working place must be known to the user.
• The Clean-AIR respiratory system must not be used in unventilated areas such as tanks, pipes, canals etc.
• The Clean-AIR respiratory system must not be used in areas with danger of explosion.
• Use the respiratory sy
stem only with the blower unit switched on.
• Check the air flow before use.
• If the blower unit stops working due to any reason, the user must leave the contaminated area immediately.
• If the blower unit is switched off, the respiratory system gives little or no respiratory protection. Also there is
a risk of high concentration of carbon dioxide (CO
2
) and of oxygen reduction inside the headpiece.
• Attention! During a load of really hard work
negative pressure may occur inside the hood if the user’s
breathing becomes too intensive and thus the protective factor can decrease.
• Make sure that the headpiece fits the user´s face perfectly. Only then the efficiency of the system is
sufficient. The protective factor of the complete system is reduced if the seal of the headpiece is not fitted
properly, for eg. due to beards or long hair intervening into the seal line.
• Make sure that the air hose
doesn‘t make a loop and doesn’t get caught on something in the surrounding.
Respiratory system CA BASIC 2000 is restricted for protection against solid and liquid particles only. Do not
use it against toxic gases and vapours.
It is essential to choose the correct type of filter according to the type of contamination. See the Instructions
for Using the Filters.
• A particle filter must not be used for protection against gases.
• A gas filter must not be used for protection against particles.
• If there is both particle and gas contamination in the workplace, an adequate combined filter must be used.
• When using filters protecting against gases which are difficult to identify by smell or other subjective feelings
special rules depending on the actual conditions must be followed.
• Immediatel
y replace the filter(s) as soon as the contaminant can be smelt.
•
Use only original filters certified for the particular respiratory system.
ATTENTION! If any of these conditions is not kept or followed, the warranty is automatically invalid.
3. Unpacking / Assembly / Usage
3.1. Unpacking
Check that the package is complete and that no part is damaged due to the transport or for other reasons.
A package with the complete system including accessories contains:
1. Blower unit incl. battery 1pc
2. Belt 1pc
3. Air hose 1pc
4. Air flow indicator 1pc for the unit type DUAL FLOW only
5. Battery charger 1pc
6. Instructions for use 1pc
The powered unit Clean-air BASIC 2000 is supplied incl. the filter PSL.
3.2. Assembly
1. Attach the respiratory unit onto the belt. Make sure that the filter(s) is (are) fitted properly.
2. Connect the air hose to the blower unit by a bayonet joint.
3. Connect the air hose to a headpiece.

3.3. Usage
CA BASIC 2000 DUAL FLOW
Switch on the unit by pressing the ON/OFF button on the control panel. There are
two arrow-buttons on the switch board: ECO / TURBO. By using the two arrowbuttons it is possible to set the airflow at a lower level (ECO) or at a higher level
(TURBO). The TURBO mode makes protection more efficient then the ECO mode,
however in cold environment the higher airflow could be uncomfortable.
With a new clean filter
and a fully charged battery the unit supplies aprox. 160l/min at ECO and aprox. 210 l/min
at TURBO modes. The supply of air slowly decreases by filter clogging. In order to assure that the airflow level is
sufficient, perform the Air Flow Test regularly – chapt. 4..2.
CA BASIC 2000 FLOW CONTROL
Switch on the unit by pressing the ON/OFF button on the control panel. The airflow
can be adjusted by two arrow-buttons from 140 l/min up to 210 l/min. The number of
li
t Green LED diodes shows the actual airflow level.
The unit ensures a constant supply of air. The microprocessor inside the unit
automatically regulates the motor speed to compensate the filter clogging and the
battery state. If the microprocessor cannot keep the adjusted airflow, the alarm starts (an acoustic signal can be
heard and the LED diodes come on red). If possible, the microprocessor automatically reduces the airflow to the
next lower level. W hen the airfl
ow falls below the minimum level, the alarm intensifies. Then the user must stop
working at once and change the filter or recharge/change the battery.
To check the alarm function: perform Air Flow Test– chapt. 4.2.
To check the battery state: Press and hold the left arrow-button for more than 1second. The more LED diodes
come on (red) the higher the remaining battery capacity is.
To check the filter: Press and hold the right arrow-button for more
than 1second. The more LED diodes come
on (orange), the more clogged the filter is.
After releasing the arrow-buttons, the LED diodes return back to the green light indicating the actual airflow.
