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 ex­ample, 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

- 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.

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.
