3.2 Getting started
The supplied batteries must be inserted to begin with
(outside the Ex-area). In order to be able to use the
flashlight in the Ex-area it must be ensured that the lamp
head and the body of the flashlight are screwed together
tightly. The flashlight can then be switched on by lightly
rotating the yellow ring switch clockwise.
3.3 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 (see
Ex-Safety Manual, table with approved batteries).
To replace the batteries grasp the lamp head firmly, twist
the body of the flashlight (incl. ring switch) anti-clockwise
and then remove it. The batteries can then be removed
from the battery compartment and exchanged.

6
After inserting the new batteries (observe the correct
polarity) the body of the flashlight can be screwed back
on. Please make sure the flashlight has been screwed
together completely before switching it on again.
Battery replacement
• Only use type-tested batteries
(see Ex-Safety Manual, table in section 6)
• 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.
3.4 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 dicult to turn. Start by unscrewing the
lamp head. (See point 3.3 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 firmly in place (magnet must be positioned on
the shaft - P+F address side). The lamp head can then be
screwed back onto the flashlight.
3.5 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!

7
Manipulating the torch head or LED on your own poses
a risk to the safety of the flashlight and is not permitted.
3.6 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 5) 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 lamp head on
the LED housing make sure the seal and disc are seated
properly. After assembly no part of the seal should be
visible through the opening where the beam is emitted. If
the LED housing or lens has been damaged, the flashlight
should be sent to the manufacturer for repair.

the side of the company logo using the screw provided
(see Fig. 3).

• It should be observed that the electrical performance
of specific types of Zinc-Manganese Dioxide (Zn/
MnO2) batteries are limited to ambient temperatures
below the product specified ambient temperature
range. The datasheets for the specific manufacturer
and type of battery used should be consulted to see
what the recommended ambient temperature range of
use is to achieve maximum battery performance.
