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 lamp in the Ex-area it must
be ensured that the lamp head and the body of the lamp
are screwed together tightly.The lamp 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 (seeTable 1).
To replace the batteries turn the left-hand side cap (which
bears the „ecom“ inscription) in the direction of the arrow
and then remove the entire battery adapter (see fig. 2).
You can then remove and exchange the batteries. After
inserting the new batteries (while observing the correct
polarity) the battery adapter can be reinserted (please ob-

9
serve the guides in the adapter and battery compartment
when doing this).Then screw the cap back on.
Please make sure the lamp has been screwed together
completely before switching it on again.
Battery replacement
- Only use type-tested batteries
(see the table 1 under point 7:Technical specifications)
- 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.
- If you notice any spilled electrolyte when changing the
battery, do not take the unit into the Ex-area, but send it
to the manufacturer for inspection.
8.4 Cleaning the ring switch
A non-contacting ring switch is used to switch on the Lite-
Ex®PL 10e H (see 8.2). Dirt and moisture do not impair
the switching function.The ring switch is easy to clean if ex-
cessive amounts of dirt and grime have made it difficult to
turn. Start by unscrewing the lamp head.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 (the line marking on the ring switch must be located
opposite the circular marking on the lamp body).

The lamp head can then be screwed back onto the lamp.
8.5 Bulb replacement
The Lite-Ex®PL 10e H is equipped with a long-life LED
bulb. Under normal conditions it is not necessary to change
the LED. If, however, the lamp becomes defective or its
brightness has diminished, it should be sent to ecom inst-
ruments for inspection or repair.The LED housing should
not be opened! Conducting repairs to the LED housing or
bulb yourself poses a risk to the safety of the lamp 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. If, however, it should break, it can be
replaced.To do this, grasp the body of the Lite-Ex®PL 10e
H 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 (A/F 4) to secure
the LED housing in place (see Fig. 3) and unscrew the
lamp head.The protective disc can now be replaced (only
use original protective discs from ecom).The LED housing
should then be cleaned thoroughly 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 underneath the protective disc / only use original
sealing rings from ecom).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 inner
lamp head or lens has been damaged, the lamp should be
sent to the manufacturer for repair.
