Mellert SLT TL 257Ex User manual
Use of the helmet lamp TL257 - Ex
The helmet lamp TL257 Ex is fitted with five most luminous LED’s
and offers a clearly focused and steady projected image due to an
optical light concentration. This helmet lamp is an ideal essential
complement of your equipment in the area with explosion risk in
the sectors 1, 2 and 21, 22 through its harmonised light spreading
and the individually adjustable luminous angle.
The 3 switching cycles enable an operation of 2 LED’s for the
local range, 3 LED’s for the remote range or all 5 LED’s at the
same time. Fastening of the lamp directly on the helmet ensures a
uniform and centred weight arrangement and position - the lamp
therefore always flashes in the line of sight.
The lamp can be purchased with different accessories, like a
helmet holder or a reflecting band.
Mounting and removing of the lamp on the helmet is truly simple
and to be done with a few turns with no need of any tool.
