The patented induction technology
for wireless power transfer eliminates
the conductivity problems
commonly experienced with
saltwater, oil spill and mud exposure.
The technology furthermore allows
the TX40 to be recharged within Zone
1 gas hazardous environments, and
operate under Zone 0 conditions.
Maintenance Free
Intelligent routines regularly perform
tests on both torch and charger to
monitor the system´s condition.
Charging routines are performed at
scheduled intervals to ensure optimal
battery capacity, and maintain long
term durability.
Safe
The REFERENCE torch and charger
solution should be an important part
of your safety program. The equipment
may be sealed with a securing wire
on location, focusing its application
towards emergency lighting. In the
event of a power outage the torch will
automatically turn on to illuminate its
location.

Innovative belt clip
– Improved belt clip functionality allows
torch to be placed upright at various
angles, giving operator both hands free.
Operation Zone 0
– Certied for operation under Zone 0,
1, and 2 conditions, simplifying use in
gas hazardous environments!
3mm hardened glass
– 3mm hardened scratch resistant
glass protects optical components,
maintaining light intensity and beam
conformity.
Product features
Latest LED technology combined with 4°
lens
– 3rd generation LED and the embedded
4º lens optimize battery utilization while
producing a bright and uniform beam of
light on any targeted surface.
Low battery indication
– The built-in low battery procedure
reduces light intensity to 30%, indicating
that recharge is needed and ensuring
ecient utilization.
Intelligent battery routines
– Scheduled charging routines and battery
monitoring ensure optimal capacity and
long term durability.
Textured rubber for extra grip
– Main body shaft is covered with textured
rubber, providing a rm and comfortable

Troubleshooting
No light produced when torch
is turned on
The torch may be completely discharged. Insert torch into
charger to initiate recharge process.
Torch automatically lights up
when inserted into charger
Charger may not receive current from its power source
which results in torch activating emergency mode. Check
power source, connectors, and cable for damage.
Green LED ashes when torch
is placed in charger
Flashinggreenlightindicatesthatbatteriesarecurrentlybeing
recharged. LED will stop ashing and turn continuous green
when batteries are fully recharged.
Red LED ashes when torched
is placed in charger
Flashing red light indicates that the torch does not receive
correct voltage from the charger. Check that the torch has
been correctly inserted into charger, and that there is no
signicant buildup of mud or dirt obstructing the charging
process.
Red LED is activated when
