PETZL DUOBELT LED 5 Handbuch Seite 3

(EN) ENGLISH
The DUO BELT headlamps conform
to the requirements of the 89/336/
CEE directive on electromagnetic
compatability
The DUO BELT lamps are ideal for use in wet
environments, but are not designed for prolonged
submersion (i.e. diving).
DUO BELT LED 5
Waterproof with dual light source : focusable
halogen bulb and an unregulated 5 LED module.
Long burn time ; excellent for use in cold
environments.
DUO BELT LED 8
Waterproof with dual light source : focusable
halogen bulb and a regulated 8 LED module.
Long burn time ; excellent for use in cold
environments.
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 in relation to the desired use : the lower
position gives a narrow spotlight, and the upper
position gives a wider beam (4).
The DUO BELT 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 BELT 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 BELT LED 8
The 8 LED light source is electronically regulated,
maintaining a constant lighting level. When the
batteries are nearly spent, the light output drops
quickly to a minimum « survival » level.
In addition, this 8 LED light source offers three
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 towards the bottom (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 LED
module switches to a unique low level of 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 refl ector.
Batteries
To open the battery case, unlock the two clips (5).
Use alkaline batteries. Do not mix different brands
of batteries, or new batteries with used batteries.
Respect the polarity of the batteries when installing
them in the lamp. If this is not done, explosions
may result due to gaseous emissions from leaking
batteries.
Warning : defective or fully discharged batteries, or
water in the battery case can damage the headlamp
(oxidation of the contacts...).
WARNING : for prolonged storage, remove the
batteries and leave the case open.
The life of alkaline batteries is considerably reduced
in low temperatures. In cold environments or when
the batteries are low, the LEDs will give better light
than the halogen bulb.
Battery care
To avoid a buildup of pressure from gaseous
emissions inside the case, each DUO BELT
is equipped with a gas absorber pellet (see
illustration 10). 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.
Changing a bulb or LED module
Open the case using the 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 LEDs. Check their alignment.
To close the head piece :
- position the refl ector, 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 under bad conditions (moisture, mud,
dust...), remove the batteries, bulb, and LEDs.
Allow the lamp to dry completely with the headpiece
and battery box open. Clean the seals with water
and lubricate with a silicone based lubricant.
Cleaning
Wash the lamp using clean water, with the
headpiece and battery box 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.
