Introduction

1.1 Protective helmets CA-40, CA-40G a CA-40GW
They are designed exclusively for use with powered air purifying respirators (hereinafter PAPR) CleanAIR® or with continuous flow compressed 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 principle 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 entering 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 according 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 protection 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. Welding 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 respiratory 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® . Therefore, read this manual in conjunction with the user manual of PAPR CleanAIR ® or user manual 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 immediate danger to life or health.
• Do not use in environments where the user does not know the type of contamination or its concentration.
• 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 system, incorporating a hood, gives little or no respiratory protection. Also, there is a risk of a high concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) building 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 decrease 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 sealing 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 ® until you leave the contaminated workplace.
• Use only original CleanAIR® filters designed for your powered air purifying 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 capturing gases do not protect the user against any particles. In the workplace contaminated with both types of pollution, combined filters must be used.

Instructions for use

• Before use of the new product, always check that the device is complete and no damage occurred during transport. If not used, the helmet should be stored in its packaging which will protect it against direct sunlight, 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 combination 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.

Setup and adjustments

Should this helmet provide adequate head protection against falling objects (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 prohibited 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.

• Fit face seal holes carefully over individual pins arranged on the helmet shield.
• Insert the headband into the helmet and snap it on the anchoring holes of the headband (suggested setup – central hole at the very top in allholders of the headband).
• Pull the rear section of the face seal over the adjusting screw.

FOR HYGIENIC REASONS, DISCARD THE OLD FACE SEAL IMMEDIATELY AFTER ITS REPLACEMENT TO AVOID ITS REUSE!
3.3 Replacement of protective plates for CA-40
We suggest using protective plates to protect the auto-darkening filter and the visor of the grinding shield. Timely replacement of protective plates extends the service life of the auto-darkening filter and visor and ensures continuous good view.
Protective polycarbonate plate is supplied to protect the auto- darkeningfilter. The plate is applied from both sides (outside and inside) of the auto-darkening filter and prevents  from the deposition of welding spatter on the auto-darkening filter.

External protective plate replacement:

• Remove the protective plate by pulling its lower part in the area of welding shield indent.
• Before placing the new protection plates, always remove the thin protection layers from both sides.
• Insert the protective plate in the side grooves in the area in front of the auto-darkening filter.

Inside protective plate replacement:

• Remove the auto-darkening filter by releasing the retaining spring inside the welding shield and pull it out.
• Slide out the worn protective plate from fixation grooves.
• Apply new protective plate by sliding it back in the fixation grooves in the auto-darkening filter.
• Insert the auto-darkening filter back in the welding shield and secure it by the retaining spring.

CAUTION!
DO NOT CLEAN PROTECTIVE PLATES DRY; IT MAY EASILY CAUSE THEIR SCRATCHING AND REDUCED TRANSPARENCY. PROTECTIVE PLATES CAN CONCENTRATE ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE; THEREFORE, CHANGING THE PLATES IN A DUSTY ENVIRONMENT MAY DETERIORATE THE VIEW!

3.4 Welding filter replacement
