Lite-Ex PL 10e. For your own safety and
information please read the instructions on the
following pages carefully!

8.2 Getting started
The supplied batteries must be inserted to
begin with (outside the Ex-area). In order to be
able to use the ashlight in the Ex-area it must
be ensured that the lamp head and the body of
the ashlight are screwed together tightly. The
ashlight can then be switched on by lightly
rotating the yellow ring switch clockwise.

8.3 Battery replacement
The batteries should be replaced if the level of
luminance is no longer deemed to be satisfactory.
It is advisable to change all 3 batteries at the
same time. Only the appropriate, approved types
of batteries may be used (refer to the table with
details of the type-tested batteries under point
7: Technical specications). To replace the
batteries grasp the lamp head rmly, twist the
body of the ashlight (incl. ring switch) anti-
clockwise and then remove it. The batteries can
then be removed from the battery compartment
and exchanged. After inserting the new batteries
(observe the correct polarity) the body of the
ashlight can be screwed back on. Please make
sure the ashlight has been screwed together
completely before switching it on again.
Battery replacement
- Only use type-tested batteries (see the table
under point 7: Technical specications).
- Always replace all batteries simultaneously.
- Pay attention to the correct polarity.
- Dispose of depleted batteries in an appropriate
and environmentally friendly manner!
- When changing the batteries examine the
threads and seals for cleanliness and signs of
damage.
8.4 Cleaning the ring switch
A non-contacting ring switch is used to switch
on the Lite-Ex PL 10e (see description above).
Dirt and moisture do not impair the switching
function. The ring switch is easy to clean if
excessive amounts of dirt and grime have made
it difcult to turn. Start by unscrewing the lamp
head. (See point 8.3 Battery replacement). The
ring switch can now be removed and cleaned.

When it has been cleaned replace the ring
switch and rotate it until it engages rmly in
place (magnet must be positioned on the shaft -
ecom address side). The lamp head can then be
screwed back onto the ashlight.
8.5 LED replacement
The Lite-Ex PL 10e is equipped with a long-
life LED bulb. Under normal conditions it is
not necessary to change the LED. If, however,
the torch is defective or the brightness of the
torch has diminished, it should be sent to ecom
instruments for inspection or repair. The LED
housing should not be opened!
Manipulating the torch head or LED on your own
poses a risk to the safety of the ashlight and is
not permitted.
8.6 Replacing the protective disc
The LED housing is protected by the surrounding
housing head and an additional protective disc,
which is located over the opening where the
beam is emitted. The disc is made of high-quality
material. Should, however, the disc break, it is
possible to replace it. To do this grasp the body of
the Lite-Ex PL 10e and the ring switch and then
carefully unscrew the lamp head by turning it
anti-clockwise. To unscrew the lamp head from
the LED housing use an Allen key (AF4) to secure
the LED housing in place (see Fig. 2) and unscrew
the lamp head. The protective disc can now be
replaced (only use original ecom protective
disc). The LED housing should then be cleaned
thoroughly (Please observe point 11) and the
sealing ring checked for signs of damage. If the
sealing ring exhibits any damage, it should also
be replaced (the sealing ring is set in a groove
under the protective disc). When replacing the
