PENLITE PL-01

Product Information

The Wolf Ex-Penlite PL-01 is a small, robust light source, certified for safe use in potentially explosive atmospheres. It is ideal for use in many hazardous area applications, such as gas meter reading, and by systems and instrument engineers as an essential and convenient mini-torch for close inspection and maintenance work. It can also be provided as an escape light for personnel in confined spaces if faced with an emergency situation.

Approved by German test house TÜV, the Wolf Ex-Penlite is CE marked in compliance with the 94/9/EC Explosive Atmospheres (ATEX) Directive for use in a wide range of potentially explosive atmospheres. The Wolf Ex-Penlite has been approved to Apparatus group IIC, allowing use in all potentially explosive gases, vapours and mists, up to T4 temperature class, in zone 1 & 2 (category 2) hazardous areas. The Wolf Ex-Penlite has a brass body with satin plated finish, and a threaded lens cap with plastic lens, removable for bulb and battery replacement. A push button switch is fitted on the end for easy, single handed, operation. A pen clip is also incorporated in the design, allowing the Ex-Penlite to be securely retained in a pocket, and preventing roll on a flat surface. Electro-static hazards are avoided with the use of a metal body.

Utilising a 2.25V, 0.25A lensed bulb, the Wolf Ex-Penlite emits an excellent uniform, wide angled beam, ideally suited to short distance work. Approvals allow the use of all R03 (AAA) standard and LR03 high power alkaline cells; alkaline cells providing a continuous duration of up to five hours. Use of rechargeable cells is prohibited. The Wolf Ex-Penlite is supplied complete with cells, an EC Declaration of Conformity and user instructions. A copy of the Wolf Ex-Penlite EC Type Examination Certificate is available upon request.
