(EN) ENGLISH
The DUO lamps are ideal for use in wet
environments, but are not designed for prolonged
submersion (i.e. diving).
DUO LED
Waterproof with dual light source: focusable halogen
bulb and an LED module.
Switching on, switching off, selecting and
focusing
Move the switch up to select the powerful halogen
beam - high energy consumption (2).
Move the switch down to select the LEDs - low
energy consumption (3).
The zoom knob allows you to adjust the halogen
beam as desired: turn it down for a narrow spotlight,
or up for a wider beam (4).
The DUO allows you to optimize the power and
duration of the lighting according to your needs.
Simultaneous use of both light sources is not
possible.
DUO LED 5
The 5 LED light source is unregulated, offering one
very economical lighting level. The light gradually
diminishes in brightness as the batteries are
depleted.
DUO LED 8
The 8 LED module is electronically regulated,
maintaining a constant lighting level until the
batteries are nearly spent.
It also offers 3 different lighting levels:
- OPTIMUM: best balance between power and light
duration.
- MAXIMUM: maximum power.
- ECONOMICAL: long light duration.
You choose the lighting level best suited to your
activity.
Move the switch down (on). The light always starts
at the OPTIMUM level.
To select the next lighting level (MAXIMUM), turn
the switch off, then immediately back on.
Consecutive off-on movements of the switch will
cycle the light through levels 2 and 3, then back to
level 1 again.
If the movement of the switch is not quick enough,
the lamp will light up at level 1.
When the batteries are nearly spent, the light
automatically switches to Reserve Power Mode,
providing low-level lighting for an extended period
of time.
The locking system
Remember to lock the switch during transportation
and storage by pressing the red button (1A). To
unlock the switch, press on the opposite end of the
red button (1B). If your headlamp is left switched on
in a pack (or other closed space), the heat emitted
by the halogen bulb can damage the reflector.
Battery case
To open the battery case, unlock the two clips (5).
WARNING: never remove the gasket from the battery
case lid. Take care to keep it clean, using water and
a cotton swab. After each cleaning, lubricate the
gasket with silicone grease.
Batteries
In cold environments or when the batteries are low,
the LEDs will give better light than the halogen bulb.
Use alkaline or rechargeable batteries. The life of
alkaline batteries is considerably reduced in low
temperatures.
WARNING do not mix new and used batteries, or
batteries of different types or brands. Do not throw
batteries into a fire or attempt to dismantle them.
Do not recharge non-rechargeable batteries (such
as alkaline batteries) as they may explode or release
toxic materials. Do not short-circuit batteries as
burns may result. Defective or fully discharged
batteries or water in the battery case can damage the
headlamp (oxidation of the contacts...)
Precaution: for prolonged storage, remove the
batteries and leave the battery case open.
Protecting the environment
Batteries should not be thrown in the regular trash.
Dispose of batteries by recycling them in accordance
with applicable local regulations.
Changing a bulb or LED module
Notice DUO LED 5 E69P / DUO LED 8 E71P réf. : E60600-I(090904)
4
Open the head piece using your left hand to unscrew
the bezel (6) and remove it completely. If the bezel is
jammed, try a penetrating lubricant or heat the bezel
with a hair dryer.
Halogen bulb: unscrew the old bulb and screw the
new one in tightly.
LED module: pull the unit straight out (it's OK to
touch the LEDs). Install the new unit, being careful
not to bend the contacts or LEDs. Check the
alignment of the LEDs.
To close the head piece:
- position the reflector, lens, and bezel correctly over
the head piece (7),
- using your right hand, screw the bezel onto the
head piece until the mark on the bezel is situated
between the two marks on the head piece (8 & 9).
In case of malfunction
Check the batteries and their polarities. If the polarity
is simply reversed in the battery case, the halogen
bulb will work but the LEDs will not. In this case,
remove and re-install the batteries according to the
polarity indicators shown on the case.
Test the lamp with a replacement bulb. Check for
corrosion on the contacts. In case of corrosion,
scrape the contacts lightly without damaging them.
Work the switch several times.
If your lamp still does not work contact PETZL.
Care
Water in the headpiece or battery case can cause a
malfunction. Whenever the lamp has been used or
opened in poor conditions (moisture, mud, dust...),
remove the batteries, bulb, and LEDs. Allow the
lamp to dry completely with the headpiece and
battery case open. Clean the seals with water and
lubricate them with silicone grease.
Cleaning
Wash the lamp using clean water, with the headpiece
and battery case closed. Use soap for the elastic
headband. Do not rub with an abrasive product,
especially on the lens. Do not wash with a high
pressure hose.
Electromagnetic compatibility
Conforms to the requirements of the 89/336/CEE
directive on electromagnetic compatibility.
Warning
The DUO LED 8 may interfere with the functioning
of an avalanche beacon. This can happen only when
the 8 LED module is turned on, and the lamp is near
a beacon in receive (search) mode.
In case of interference (indicated by static noise
from the beacon), move the beacon away from the
lamp until the noise stops, or switch off the 8 LED
module and switch on the halogen bulb.
