The bright BL Lac object PKS 2155-304 (mv=13; z=0.117) was observed with EXOSAT at five epochs (1983 Oct. 31, Nov. 30, 1984 Nov. 6, 7 and 11), for a total of about 30 hours of exposure time. Here we present data and results obtained with the Low Energy (LE) telescopes, in the band 0.05–2. keV, and with the Medium Energy (ME) argon proportional counters in the range 1.–6. keV.
