Brightness 

Brightness depends on the manufacturer, type and age of the battery. Even the same 
types of cells may lead to different brightness. 

The built-in current control clips current peaks from new batteries. The soft start circuit 
reduces the danger of blinding when is switched on the first time. 

Outside of the Ex area (and only there !!!) 
the brightness may be increased by using NiCd or NiMH accumulator cells. The small inner 
resistance of the accumulator cells leads to longer operation under current controlled full 
power.  Accumulators are strictly prohibited inside of the Ex area!  Use only cells of the 
same type, age, operation history and manufacturer in the same battery pack. 

 

7 Safety 

Advices 

Read the manual completely and carefully before operation. Only the latest documentation is 
valid. 

Installation, maintenance and cleaning of the units must only be performed by persons trained 
and authorized for this purpose, insofar as they are familiar with the units. 

If it can be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible, switch off the unit and secure it 
against renewed switching-on. 

It is prohibited for the operator or his staff to open the units in a way that is not described in 
this manual. This may only be done by specifically authorized personnel of E.L.B. Ex-Geräte 
GmbH 

Modifications and conversions to the units are not permissible and will cause the Ex protection 
and the guarantee to become void. 

Exchanging of batteries and opening of the battery box only outside of hazardous 
areas. 

Only use battery cells type Duracell MN 1500 AA. 

Light emitting diode radiation. Do not turn the light directly to the eyes of men or 
animals 

E.L.B. Ex-Geräte GmbH is not liable for any subsequent damage.
