Rechargeable safety torch

June 2006 Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration

Wolf Safety, leading manufacturer and supplier of torches and portable lighting for use in explosive atmospheres, has launched the first in its range of high-tech ATEX approved rechargeable torches.

The robust, compact, ergonomically designed torch weighing only 325 g, a fraction of the weight of other competitive safety torches with a similar performance, incorporates a high efficiency 4 W halogen bulb, offering two levels of light output and three to seven hours light duration. State of battery charge is indicated with a bar of high intensity red LEDs, which go out one by one as the battery charge diminishes. Towards the end of discharge, the beam flashes off repeatedly, warning recharging is required.

Charges are available with 'Quick' (2,5 h) or 'Standard' (8 h) charge rates, configured to run from vehicle voltage, or mains with a suitable transformer. A unique feature of the charger design is the single handed 'snap-in; snatch-out' torch holder, designed to give the dual function of secure torch retention, but also quick release, ideal in emergency situations.

The safety torch, which is ATEX approved for use in Zones 1 and 2 explosive gas and dust atmospheres, also carries e ib IIC T4 approval code, which complies with (UK) Home Office TB1/1997 breathing apparatus for fire-fighters.

Low maintenance, quick component replacement, easy to use switching - even with gloved hands - and an IP67 rating, are other significant product benefits supporting the claim that this torch currently represents the best in rechargeable safety torch technology.
