5. Taking into operation
Prior to taking the cap lamp into opera-
tion, check its correct functioning and
perfect condition in accordance with
these operating instructions and other
applicable regulations!
The cap lamp may be opened or charged
outside of hazardous areas only!
Initial use
Mind: For safety reasons, the battery is
delivered uncharged!
By means of the attached connecting lead,
the HLE 7 L EN cap lamp is connected to the
mains supply.
The switch of the lamp must be in "OFF"
position.
After apx. 18 h, the lamp will automatically
switch over to trickle charge.
The whole useful battery capacity will only be
obtained after the battery has been submit-
ted to at least 3 charging/discharging cycles.
For electrochemical reasons the battery's
charge cannot be ensured at temperatures
below -5°C.
At temperatures >30°C, a full charge of the
battery will not be possible for
electrochemical reasons.
Recommendation:
Prior to charging, the battery should be kept
so as to obtain room temperature (apx.
20°C).
6. Maintenance/Servicing
As far as the maintenance, servicing and
test of electrical apparatus for explosive
atmospheres are concerned, the respec-
tive national regulations in conjunction
with the relevant standards will be
applicable!
Mind: Because of the NiCd batteries' self-
discharge, these should be recharged every
4 to 6 months, even if the lamp has not been
used.
