Reference Ex Torch and Charger

- designed for hazardous areas

The Reference solution is a multi­purpose lighting solution that
reduces the need for additional
equipment. The TX40 torch serves
your purpose whether you need
a hand held torch, a separately
positioned light source, or a
permanently installed emergency
light.

Reliable

The patented induction technology
for wireless power transfer eliminates
the conductivity problems
commonly experienced with
saltwater, oil spill and mud exposure.
The technology furthermore allows

the TX40 to be recharged within Zone
1 gas hazardous environments, and
operate under Zone 0 conditions.

Maintenance Free

Intelligent routines regularly perform
tests on both torch and charger to
monitor the system´s condition.
Charging routines are performed at
scheduled intervals to ensure optimal
battery capacity, and maintain long
term durability.

Safe

The REFERENCE torch and charger
solution should be an important part
of your safety program. The equipment
may be sealed with a securing wire
on location, focusing its application
towards emergency lighting. In the
event of a power outage the torch will
automatically turn on to illuminate its
location.

Innovative belt clip
– Improved belt clip functionality allows
torch to be placed upright at various
angles, giving operator both hands free.

Operation Zone 0
– Certied for operation under Zone 0,
1, and 2 conditions, simplifying use in
gas hazardous environments!

3mm hardened glass
– 3mm hardened scratch resistant
glass protects optical components,
maintaining light intensity and beam
conformity.

Product features

Latest LED technology combined with 4°
lens
– 3rd generation LED and the embedded
4º lens optimize battery utilization while
producing a bright and uniform beam of
light on any targeted surface.

Low battery indication
– The built-in low battery procedure
reduces light intensity to 30%, indicating
that recharge is needed and ensuring
ecient utilization.

Intelligent battery routines
– Scheduled charging routines and battery
monitoring ensure optimal capacity and
long term durability.

Textured rubber for extra grip
– Main body shaft is covered with textured
rubber, providing a rm and comfortable
grip under slippery conditions such as rain,
oil, mud etc.

Operation

Permanent maintenance free battery
solution
– With the sealed and self-maintained
rechargeable battery feature, general
maintenance cost is reduced while eliminating
the need for spare parts.

Low voltage shutdown
– A low voltage shutdown procedure is
automatically performed in the event of deep
discharge, preventing permanent damage to
internal batteries.

Seal point for emergency use
– Optional safety feature allows torch and
charger to be sealed together with a securing
wire, enabling application towards emergency
lighting equipment.

Emergency light activation
– Embedded safety routine automatically
activates torch in the event of a power outage
to illuminate its location.

Torch and charger condition
indicator
– Intelligent routines regularly perform
specic tests on both torch and charger to
monitor the systems condition and report
any irregularities.

Zone 1 certied weatherproof
charging system
– Galvanic power transfer allows charging
without any metallic connection, enabling
torch to be recharged within Zone 1
conditions, while eliminating corrosion and
other conductivity issues due to water, oil,
mud etc.

Attach point for safety wire
– Firm attach point for safety wire, giving
the option of securing the torch against
accidental free fall while mobile.

Installation, operation & maintenance

• Fasten charger with 4xM5 screws or

stud bolts using a torque of 1-2 Nm.

• Insert torch into charger as illustrated. The at surface

of the torch must face towards the charger.

Note:
Avoid installation causing continuous exposure to direct
sunlight preventing visual inspection of condition LED.

Note:
Placing metal objects between torch and charger
surface may obstruct the charging process.

Troubleshooting

No light produced when torch
is turned on

The torch may be completely discharged. Insert torch into
charger to initiate recharge process.

Torch automatically lights up
when inserted into charger

Charger may not receive current from its power source
which results in torch activating emergency mode. Check
power source, connectors, and cable for damage.

Green LED ashes when torch

is placed in charger

Flashing green light indicates that batteries are currently being

recharged. LED will stop ashing and turn continuous green

when batteries are fully recharged.

Red LED ashes when torched

is placed in charger

Flashing red light indicates that the torch does not receive
correct voltage from the charger. Check that the torch has
been correctly inserted into charger, and that there is no
signicant buildup of mud or dirt obstructing the charging
process.

Red LED is activated when
torch is placed in charger

Continuous red light indicates an automatic maintenance test
has failed. Try reinserting torch into charger. Torch should be
replaced if problem persists.

In the event of any problems still present after closely reviewing the above table, or other
irregularities occuring during operation and handling, please contact Reference helpdesk for support.
