Use And Function - cleanAIR AerGO Manual Del Usuario

 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 head piece must fit tightly to the face to assure the perfect level of protection for the user. If a
beard or long hair gets into the sealing line, penetration will increase and the protection provided by the
system will decrease.
As standard, the CA AerGO® unit is equipped with a highly efficient P R SL filter against particles, which
protects the user in environments contaminated by particles.
 Filters designed for filtering solid and liquid particles do not protect users against any gases.
 Filters designed for filtering gases do not protect users against any solid and liquid particles
 Combined filters must be used for working environments contaminated by both types of contaminants.
 Replace filters any time you feel a change in the smell of the air coming out of the unit.
 Only use certified original filters designed for your filtration unit.
NOTICE! Failure to follow the principles of using the respiratory system will void the guarantee!
4. Unpacking / Assembling / Use and function
4.1. Unpacking
Check that the delivery is complete and that no damage was caused during transport.
A complete system including accessories contains the following components:
1. PAPR unit CA AerGO® with belt
and P R SL particle filters 1 pc
2. Battery 1 pc
3. Battery charger 1 pc
4. Air flow indicator 1 pc
5. User manual 1 pc
4.2. Assembling
1. Take the filtration unit out of the package and connect the battery to the unit.
2. Check the filters and tighten them if necessary.
3. Attach the air hose to the filtration unit.
4. Connect the hose to the head part.

4.3. Use and function

CA AerGO®
The unit is switched on and off by pressing the button on the PAPR unit's control panel for at least 2 seconds.
By briefly pressing the button it is possible to switch between two air flow levels: 160
L/min and 210 L/min. The maximum air flow mode provides a higher protection level
for the user. However, a higher flow rate may be unpleasant at low temperatures.
The AerGO® unit contains a control system ensuring a constant air flow and an
advanced electronic system to warn the wearer in case of a sudden decrease in
airflow or low battery.
The control system keeps the selected flow rate constant even if the battery gradually
becomes lower and regardless of the level of filter clogging.
If the system is no longer able to maintain the selected flow rate, it will automatically
switch over to the low air flow mode. If the system still is not able to maintain the required flow rate, the audio-
visual and vibration alarm is started. The user must then interrupt work immediately, leave the contaminated
area and replace the filters or the battery.
The user is informed of the current state of the battery's charge and the level of filter clogging by illuminated
LEDs on the control panel.
Red LEDs indicate the battery's charge. Five illuminated LEDs indicate the battery is at the maximum state of
charge, one illuminated LED indicates the minimum state of charge and the user will be warned by an alarm if
the battery is low. Then, the battery must be replaced or charged.
Yellow LEDs indicate the current level of filter clogging. More LEDs light up as the filters become more
clogged. When all five LEDs are illuminated, the filters are completely clogged and the user will be warned by an
alarm that there is insufficient air flow. Then, the filters must be replaced!

Before use
4.4. Check before each use
Make sure that:
 all the components are in order, without any visible impairment or damage (in particular no cracks, holes, or
leaks should appear). Replace damaged and worn parts. Ensure the good condition of the air hose and
sealing elements;
 the hose is connected to both the PAPR unit and the head part correctly;
 after the PAPR unit is switched on, air is supplied to the head part;
 there is sufficient air flow in the hose (Section 4.5.).
Charge the battery before using the unit for the first time, see Section 6.2.1.
4.5. Air flow test
CA AerGO®
1. Disconnect the air hose from the PAPR unit.
2. Connect the air flow indicator to the unit.
3. Switch on the PAPR unit. The flow rate is insufficient if the top edge of the cone is in the red zone. Then, the
filter must be replaced. If the fault persists, follow the instructions for troubleshooting (see Chapter 7).
5. Maintenance and cleaning
Each time you have finished working with the CleanAIR® AerGO®, clean and check each component, and
replace damaged parts.
 Cleaning must be done in a well-ventilated room. Avoid inhaling harmful dust deposited on individual parts of
the filtration unit and accessories!
 Never use cleaning agents with solvents or abrasive cleaning agents.
 The external surface of the PAPR unit can be cleaned with a soft cloth dampened in water with common dish
detergent. After cleaning, wipe all parts dry.
 Neither water nor any other liquid should enter the filtration unit!
 The air hose, after being disconnected from the unit, can be rinsed with clean water.
6. Spare parts and their replacement
6.1. FILTER
As standard, the CA AerGO® unit is equipped with a highly efficient P R SL particle filter. The level of filter
clogging must be checked regularly with an air flow test, as described in Section 4.5, and the filter must be
replaced if necessary.
Only install new original filters designed for this type of unit.
Cleaning or blowing clear the filter in any way is forbidden!
For reasons of hygiene it is not recommended to leave the filter in the unit for longer than 180 working hours.
In the CA AerGO® unit, a pre-filter for filtering coarse particles can be used with the particle filter, which
considerably extends the life of the main filter. A spark arrester can also be used, which prevents possible
damage to the main filter from flying sparks and welding spatter.
REPLACING CA AerGO® FILTERS
The AerGO® PAPR unit uses a set of two P R SL particle filters. When using the unit, both filters must always
be attached to the unit.
6.1.1. Replacing the filters
The filters are removed from the unit by unscrewing each filter separately counter-clockwise.
New filters are attached to the unit one after the other by screwing the filters into the unit body clockwise.
Tighten properly to ensure that the connection is tight (see pictorial supplements 1A, 1B).
6.1.2. Pre-filter and spark arrester installation
Remove the pre-filter holder from the filter body by pulling at the lip. Place the pre-filter and spark arrester in the
recess in the filter body (first place the pre-filter and then the spark arrester, otherwise the spark arrester will not
fulfil its function!). Secure the new pre-filter and spark arrester by snapping the pre-filter holder (see pictorial
supplements 2A, 2B)
