DUOBELT LED
Waterproof with dual light source: focusable halogen bulb and an LED
module.
These lamps are ideal for use in wet environments, but are not
designed for prolonged submersion (i.e. diving).
Switching on & off, brightness selection, zooming
Move the switch up to select the powerful halogen beam - high energy
consumption ().
Move the switch down to select the LEDs - low energy
consumption (3).
The zoom button allows focusing the high beam as needed. Turn it
down for a narrow spotlight, or up for a wider beam ().
The DUOBELT lamps allow the light to be optimized (distance,
duration) according to your needs.
Simultaneous use of both bulbs is not possible.
DUOBELT LED 5
The 5 LED light source offers one very economical lighting level. The
light gradually diminishes in brightness as the batteries are depleted.
DUOBELT LED 14
The LED light sources are electronically regulated. The electronic
current-regulating system maintains constant brightness. It has a
reserve power mode that activates automatically when the batteries are
nearly spent, giving low-level proximity lighting and greatly extending
burn time.
In addition, the LED light sources provide 3 power levels.
. OPTIMUM: ideal balance between power and burn time.
. MAXIMUM: maximum power.
3. ECONOMY: maximum burn time.
You may select the power level most suitable to your activity.
Move the switch down (on). The system is intially set to OPTIMUM.
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 and 3, then back to level again.
If the movement of the switch is not quick enough, the lamp will light
up at level .
When the batteries are nearly spent, the light automatically switches
to Reserve Power Mode, providing low-level lighting for an extended
period of time.
Unlocking/locking the bezel
Remember to lock the switch during transportation and storage by
pressing the red button (A). To unlock, press on the other end of the
red button (B). If the light accidentally turns on in your pack, the heat
produced by the halogen bulb can damage the lamp.
Battery case
To open the battery case, unlock the two clips (5).
ATTENTION, prolonged storage: remove the batteries.
To avoid a buildup of pressure from gaseous emissions inside the
case, each DUOBELT is equipped with a gas absorber pellet (see
illustration). With each change of batteries, check the pellet. If the
pellet is defective (crumbling, broken, missing), contact Petzl’s After-
Sales service. If the pellet gets wet, let it dry naturally in open air.
Batteries
Use alkaline batteries or NiMH rechargeables.
ATTENTION DANGER, risk of explosion and burns.
- The batteries must be inserted correctly w/respect to polarity by
following the diagram on the battery case.
If one battery is reversed (two + poles or two - poles in contact with
each other), a chemical reaction is produced in minutes that releases
explosive gasses and extremely corrosive liquid.
Indicator: a weak level of light with new batteries indicates that the
polarity of one or more batteries is reversed.
In case of doubt, turn off the lamp immediately and check the polarity.
Protect your eyes in case leakage has already occurred. Cover the
battery case with a rag before opening it to avoid contact with any
discharge.
In case of contact with liquid from the batteries, rinse affected area
immediately with clear water and get immediate medical attention.
- Do not mix brands of batteries.
- Do not mix new and used batteries.SFlb- Remove the batteries from
the lamp for prolonged storage.
- Do not recharge alkaline batteries.SFlb- Do not short-circuit the
batteries as this can cause burns.SFlb- Do not attempt to open or
dismantle batteries.
- Do not put used batteries in a fire.
- Keep batteries out of reach of children.
PRECAUTIONS to avoid damaging your lamp (oxydation of
contacts...) and to limit the risk of leaky batteries:
- no not allow the batteries to become heavily discharged,
- keep water out of the battery case.
Protecting the environment
Lamps, bulbs, and batteries should be recycled. Do not throw them
in the regular trash. Dispose of these items by recycling them in
accordance with applicable local regulations. By doing so you play a
part in protecting the environment and public health.
Replacing a bulb or LED module
Open the headpiece using the left hand to unscrew the bezel (6).
Remove it completely. If it jams, try a penetrating fluid, or warm the
front cover with a hair drier.
Halogen bulb: unscrew the burned out bulb and screw in the new one,
tightening it securely.
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
Make sure the batteries are good, and that they are properly installed
with respect to their polarity. If the polarity is simply reversed in the
battery case, the halogen bulb will work but the LEDs will not. Follow
the order and position as indicated on the battery case.
Try the spare bulb. Check the contacts for corrosion. If corroded,
gently scrape the contacts clean without bending them.
Work the switch several times.
The LEDs often give better light than the halogen bulb when the
batteries are cold or low.
If your lamp still does not work, contact PETZL.
Maintenance
Water in the headpiece or battery case can cause the lamp to
malfunction. Whenever the lamp has been used or opened in poor
conditions (moisture, mud, dust…), remove the batteries, bezel and
bulb. Allow the lamp to dry thoroughly, keeping the battery case, bezel,
and headpiece open. Clean the seals with water and lubricate them
with silicone grease.
Cleaning
Wash the lamp, with the compartments closed, in clean water. Use
soap for the elastics. Do not rub with an abrasive product especially on
the lens. Do not wash with a high pressure hose.
Electromagnetic compatibility
Conform to the requirements of the 89/336/CEE directive on
electromagnetic compatibility.
Warning
The DUO LED may interfere with the functioning of an avalanche
beacon. This can happen only when the LED modules are 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 LED module and switch on the halogen bulb.
