1. Application
The Lite-Ex PL 30 is an LED pocket torch designed for industrial applications or
use in potentially explosive areas of Zones 2, ꢀ and 0 as well as 22, 2ꢀ and 20 in
accordance with Directive 99/92/EC (ATEX ꢀ37).
2. Safety instructions
These operating instructions contain information and safety regulations that must
be followed to ensure safe and reliable operation of the unit under the described
conditions. Failure to follow the information and instructions can have dangerous
consequences or may contravene applicable regulations.
Please take the time to carefully read through the owner’s manual before
you start using the unit. In the event of any doubt or discrepancies (for ex-
ample, due to translation or printing errors), the German version of these
operating instructions shall prevail.
3. Errors and load restrictions
If there is any risk that the safety or integrity of the unit has been compromised,
the unit must be taken out of operation immediately and removed from the Ex-area
without delay.
Action must be taken to prevent the device from being accidentally placed into
operation again.
We recommend sending the unit to the manufacturer to be examined.
The safety and reliability of the unit may be at risk if, for example:
- Damage is visible on the housing
- The unit has been subjected to excessive loads for which it is not designed
- The unit has been improperly stored
- The unit has been damaged in transit
- Labels or markings on the unit are illegible
- Malfunctions occur
- Permitted tolerances or threshold values have been exceeded
In the unlikely event that the product becomes faulty, it is recommended that any
repairs are carried out only by ecom instruments GmbH as the use of non-ecom
spare parts invalidates both the warranty and the Ex-certification.
4. Safety regulations
Persons using the unit must observe the standard safety regulations and read the
certificate to prevent incorrect operation or misuse of the unit.

8.2 Getting started
In order to be able to use the torch in the Ex-area, you must first 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 torch is supplied with factory-fitted batteries.
8.3 Battery replacement
When the brightness is no longer satisfactory, the batteries should be replaced. It is
strongly recommended that all three batteries 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 insert 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 environmental-
ly 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 good condition.

8.4 Cleaning the twist ring
A non-contacting twist ring is used to switch on the Lite-Ex PL 30 (see description
above). Dirt or moisture does not effect the function. The twist ring is easy to clean
if excessive amounts of dirt and grime have made it difficult to turn. First take off the
torch body and remove the batteries (see section 8.3 Battery replacement). Remove
the twist ring by sliding it off the back of the torch, and then clean the ring. When
putting the twist ring 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 illustration ꢀ).
Then re-insert the batteries, and screw the body of the torch back on.
8.5 Lamp replacement
The Lite-Ex PL 30 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. Manipu-
lating 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 30 and
the twist ring, and carefully unscrew the housing head by turning it anticlockwise.
Clean the housing head thoroughly to remove any remaining pieces, and check the
sealing ring for damage. After this has been done, you can install a new glass 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 illustration ꢀ). 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 manufac-
turer for repair.
9. Repairs
Repair work is subject to the nationally valid regulations and directives. We therefore
recommend that such work be performed by ecom instruments GmbH, Germany, as
all repairs must be examined to ensure functional safety.

10. Cleaning, maintenance and storage
- Only use a suitable cloth or sponge to clean the unit. Do not use solvents or abra-
sive cleaning agents to clean the unit.
- 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.
11. Warranty and liability
Under the general terms and conditions of business, ecom instruments GmbH offers
a two-year warranty for function and materials on this product when used under the
specified operating and maintenance conditions. Batteries, LED/Lamps and working
parts are considered consumable parts and are not covered under the warranty.
In addition to the standard 2 years manufacturer’s warranty, ecom instruments GmbH
offers an optional lifetime warranty on the torch housing. This warranty includes dama-
ge which is incurred only when the device is properly used. Damage to the front disc
is not included, neither is damage in the form of cosmetic and superficial scratches to
the housing or to the ‘Ex-certification’ and other text contained on the housing.
After the 2 years standard warranty period, in the event that the housing has to be
changed, this optional lifetime warranty does not include any costs that may be
incurred for inspection, packing and carriage etc. This warranty is only limited by the
future availability of spare parts. This warranty is invalidated if the torch head unit
has been opened / tampered with in any way or if the sealing is damaged.
This warranty does not extend to products that have been used improperly, altered,
neglected, damaged by accident or subjected to abnormal operating conditions
or improper handling. In the event of a warranty claim, the faulty device should be
returned to ecom instruments GmbH. We reserve the right to readjust, repair or
replace the unit.
The above warranty terms represent the sole rights of the purchaser to compensation
and apply exclusively and in place of all other contractual or statutory warranty obli-
gations. ecom instruments GmbH does not accept liability for specific, direct, indirect,
incidental or consequential damages or losses, regardless of whether they are caused
by breach of warranty, lawful or unlawful actions, actions in good faith or other actions.
If in certain countries the restriction of statutory warranty and the exclusion or re-
striction of incidental or consequential damages is unlawful, then it may be possible
that the above restrictions and exclusions do not apply for all purchasers. If any
clause in these warranty terms should be found to be invalid or unenforceable by a
competent court, then such a judgement shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other clause contained in these warranty terms.
