WARNING
Activities involving the use of this equipment are inherently
dangerous.
You are responsible for your own actions and decisions.
Before using this equipment, you must:
- Read and understand all Instructions for use.
- Get specific training in its proper use.
- Become acquainted with its capabilities and limitations.
- Understand and accept the risks involved.
FAILURE TO HEED ANY OF THESE WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN
SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
You should know
Caving carries serious risk for the head. Wearing a helmet reduces
this risk substantially, and one should of course be worn. Beyond the
standard requirements, given blows of extreme violence, the helmet
plays its ultimate role by absorbing the maximum amount of energy
possible by deforming sometimes to the breaking-point.
Norm
This product conforms to the requirements of standards EN climbing
helmet and UIAA.
Inspection, points to verify
Before each use, verify the condition of the shell (no cracks or
deformities...), the attachment of the headband to the shell, and the
operation of the chin strap and headband adjustments.
WARNING a major impact can cause invisible internal damage to your
helmet and significantly reduce its protective properties. Immediately
retire your helmet after a major impact.
Find more details about PPE inspection procedures on the PETZL PPE
CD ROM or at www.petzl.com

Fitting
For a good fit, begin by fitting to head size by using the adjustment on
the right, adjust the nape strap by means of the adjuster on the left. The
chin strap is provided with a quick adjust buckle which may be adjusted
on or off the head.
Precautions
Do not expose helmet to extreme heat (e.g. left in a vehicle parked in
the sun).
Modifications
Any modifications may impair the effectiveness of the product and
reduce the protection it provides (strength, electrical insulation etc...).
You must not apply stickers or paint to the outside of the product as
their chemical components could in the long term affect the physical
properties of the product.
DUO LED 14
Waterproof with dual light source: focusable halogen bulb and a
regulated 14 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.
14 LED Module
The 14 LED module is electronically regulated, maintaining a constant
lighting level. When the batteries are nearly spent, the 14 LED module
switches automatically to Reserve Power Mode, providing low-level
proximity lighting.
In addition, this 14 LED light source offers three different lighting levels.
1. OPTIMUM: best balance between power and light duration.
2. MAXIMUM: maximum power.
3. ECONOMY: 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 (OPTIMUM).
When the batteries are nearly spent, the 14 LED module switches
automatically to Reserve Power Mode, providing low-level proximity
lighting.
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
Use alkaline (preferred) or rechargeable batteries.
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.
- Remove the batteries from the lamp for prolonged storage.
- Do not recharge alkaline batteries.
- Do not short-circuit the batteries as this can cause burns.
- 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:
- do 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 and not thrown 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.
Changing a bulb or LED module
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.
Acetylene lamp
Be careful not to get burned by the flame or the highly inflamable
acetylene.
Fix the tube coming from your acetylene generator (ARIANE E50 or other
model) onto the jet pipe, and into the clip at the back of the helmet (10).
Avoid pulling the gas tube off frequently: risk of leakage or poor
connection. For more security glue it in place.
After starting up your acetylene generator, light the flame by turning the
red button to activate the piezo spark (11).
You can choose between two acetylene jet models:
21 litres: (mounted as new) for a good light in big passages, 6-8 hours
continuous light with an ARIANE E50 generator.
14 litres: (supplied as the replacement jet) (marked 14) to economise on
carbide. 9-12 hours duration of one fill with the ARIANE E50.
To take the jet out: unscrew the red bezel. Check that there is a gasket in
good condition in place before re-fixing (12).
The jet produces a fishtail flame. So to obtain optimum light, orient the
jet so that the flame is in the same plane as the reflector (13).
The jet cleaning wire allows rapid cleaning of the jet. The end of this
cleaning wire tucks in between the helmet and the spring. For a thorough
clean, remove the jet and leave to soak in weak acid, or a descaling
agent (14).
The acetylene lamp can be rapidly detached from the helmet: tilt it to the
rear. Then lift it upwards, then detach the gas pipe from the rear helmet
clip. This will be found particularly useful for storage, as well as for
passing squeezes, night walks, prospection... (15).
Cleaning, maintenance
Leave the acetylene lamp to dry with the jet assembly higher than the
generator so that water drains out of the connecting tube. Check that
the jet assembly is not blocked or sooted up. If the piezo becomes too
stiff, oil or gease the axis of the hammer part. In case of accidental
overheating of the aluminum reflector, its plastic support may melt, so
protect the helmet.
Electromagnetic compatibility
Conforms to the requirements of the 89/336/CEE directive on
electromagnetic compatibility.
Warning
The DUO LED 14 may interfere with the functioning of an avalanche
beacon. This can happen only when the 14 LED module is turned on, and
the beacon is 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 14 LED module and switch on the
halogen bulb.
Topography
WARNING: the electronics in the 14 LED module can interfere with the
operation of a compass. The helmet has any magnetic components
which could affect a compass. The acetylene lamp has a minimum of
magnetic parts. Normally, once the helmet is on one’s head it will not
affect a compass. Take care however to stow the jet cleaner properly.

Maximum lifetime of Petzl products: 10 years, taking
into account the development of new techniques and the
compatibility of products with other products
This lifetime depends on the intensity, the frequency of use and the
environment where the product is used.
1. In exceptional circumstances, wear or damage could occur on the first
use which reduces the lifetime of the product to that one single use.
2. Certain environmental elements will considerably accelerate wear: salt,
sand, snow, ice, moisture, chemicals, etc (list not exhaustive).
3. For sewn slings, lanyards and energy absorbers, because of their
vulnerability to wear and frequent contact with abrasive and/or cutting
surfaces (e.g. anchors), their average lifetime is 6 months intensive use,
12 months normal use, 10 years maximum for occasional use.
Petzl recommends these products undergo an in-depth inspection every
3 months. If the check is passed, use is approved for another 3 months.
