8. Function descripation / operating information
Please take the time to carefully read through these operating instructions
to ensure that you are familiar with all of the functions of your Lite-Ex
PL 30e and know how to use all of the functions. For your own safety and
information please read through the information on the following pages.

8.2. Getting started
In order to be able to use the torch in the Ex-area, you must rst check
that the outer housing head and body are screwed on completely. After this
has been done, you can switch on the torch by turning the yellow twist ring
slightly in a clockwise direction. The enclosed batteries have to be inserted
rst in the device (see section 8.3).
8.3. Battery replacement
When the brightness is no longer satisfactory, the batteries should be
replaced. It is strongly recommended that all three batteries are be replaced
together. When replacing the batteries, only use approved battery types
(see table of approved battery types in section 7: Technical data).
To replace the batteries, hold on to the housing head and the twist ring,
and turn the body of the torch anticlockwise until it comes off. Take the
used batteries out of the battery compartment, observing correct polarity
and replace them with new ones. After you have inserted the new batteries
screw the body of the torch back on. Make sure that torch components are
screwed together securely before switching the torch on.

Battery replacement
• Only use approved battery types. See table in section 7: Technical data.
• Always replace all of the batteries together.
• Make sure that the polarity of the inserted batteries is correct.
• Please ensure that all used batteries are properly disposed of in an
environmentally friendly manner.
• After changing the batteries or the sealing rings always check to make
sure that the sealing rings and threads are clean and in a good condition.
8.4. Cleaining the rotary switch
A non-contacting rotary switch is used to switch on the Lite-Ex PL 30e (see
description above). Dirt or moisture does not effect the function. The rotary
switch is easy to clean if excessive amounts of dirt and grime have made it
difcult to turn. First take off the torch body and remove the batteries (see
section 8.3 Battery replacement). Remove the rotary switch by sliding it off
the back of the torch, and then clean the switch. When putting the rotary
switch back on, make sure that the arrow marks on the ring line up with the
alignment screw on the bottom part of the torch head (see picture 1). Then
re-insert the batteries, and screw the body of the torch back on.
8.5. Lamp replacement
The Lite-Ex PL 30e is equipped with an extremely long-lasting LED lamp.
Replacing the LED is normally not required. 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. Under no circumstances should
you attempt to open the torch head. Manipulating the torch head or LED on
your own poses a risk to the safety of the torch and is not permitted.
8.6. Replacing the spare disc
The torch head is protected by the housing head that surrounds it as well
as an additional disc, which is positioned 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 replace the disc, hold on to the
body of the Lite-Ex PL 30e and the twist ring, and carefully unscrew the
housing head by turning it anticlockwise. Clean the housing head thoroughly
10
to remove any remaining pieces, and check the sealing ring for damage.
After this has been done, you can install a new disc and, if necessary, new
sealing rings. Only spare sealing rings of ecom instruments are allowed.
The sealing ring is positioned between the housing head and the disc (see
picture 1). When putting the housing head back on, ensure that the seal is
positioned properly on the disc. After installation, you should not be able
to see any part of the sealing ring through the opening where the beam is
emitted. If the inside of the torch head or lens is also damaged, the torch
should be sent to the manufacturer for repair.
9. Repairs
Repairs are to be conducted by ecom instruments GmbH or service centres
authorised by ecom instruments GmbH, because the safety of the unit
needs to be tested after repairs are implemented.
The actual repair report sheet can be downloaded from the service area at
www.ecom-ex.com.
10. Cleaning, maintenance and storage
• Only use a suitable cloth or sponge to clean the unit.
• Do not use any solvents or abrasive cleaning agents when cleaning.
• We recommended having the operation and lumen output of the device
checked by the manufacturer every two years.
• The batteries should be taken out of the unit if it is to be stored for
extended periods.
• The storage temperature should be within the permitted range of -30 °C
to +60 °C.
• It should be observed that the electrical performance of specic types
of Zinc-Manganese Dioxide (Zn/MnO2) batteries are limited to ambient
temperatures below the product specied ambient temperature range.
The datasheets for the specic 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”
