9.7 Battery replacement

Due to a loss of battery power, the battery may have to be replaced after several years.
Thanks to the Handlamp's high degree of protection, the housing and the battery are
especially well protected. The battery must only be replaced by ecom instruments. Within
the scope of such battery replacement, all seals, assembly groups and electrical values
are also fully inspected.

10. Repairs

Repairs are 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.

11. Disposal

Waste of electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and „historic" WEEE by ecom
instruments GmbH is disposed free of charge at our costs and in accordance with the
European Directive 2002/96/EC and the German Electrical and Electronic Equipment Law
of 6 March 2005. The costs of transporting the equipment to ecom instruments GmbH
are to be borne by the sender.

12. Cleaning, maintenance and storage

- Only clean the Handlamp when switched in the OFF state.
- Only clean the unit with a suitable cloth or sponge. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
- The Handlamp head has vent slots to allow efficient LED cooling. These vents have to
be periodically cleaned with a soft brush or similar implement. In cases of heavy
contamination, the Handlamp head may also be cleaned with water. Moisture entering
the Handlamp head does not impair the function or Ex protection of the unit. Make sure
that any liquids can drain out and wait until the Handlamp head has fully dried out. In
case of extreme contamination, the Handlamp head can be opened. This should,
however, only be done if absolutely necessary - refer to 9.5..
- If the Handlamp is used in dust Ex areas, use a suitable device to blow clean the Hand-
lamp head after each use. For this purpose carefully blow air into the vent slots,
working from the top to the bottom ones. In the case of dust deposits, the Handlamp
head should be regularly cleaned to prevent a build up of deposits.
- We recommend having the torch checked for proper functioning by the manufacturer
every two years.
- The permissible storage temperature range is from -30°C to +60°C and must not be
exceeded.
- Storage: Since the capacity of batteries declines over time, they should be loaded from
time to time. (> 75%)
