Print Pagev42 Overview
The v42 (omni) has two main LEDs. A focused spot LED and a wide angle flood LED with optic. In normal
operation, the v42 has four factory default power settings. The v42 also has a separate side LED (white smd
LED) for maximum run time, and battery charge level indication visible without removing helmet.
The v42 can be programmed using optional Customduo infrared remote control. From 1-9 light settings can
be specified, and the level of light provided by the spot and/or flood LEDs for each setting can be configured
by the user. The spot and flood LEDs can be operated separately or blended together.
V42 Operation
To switch between the settings, use the down switch on the Petzl Duo. Switch on-off-on-off etc, to
move between settings 1-2-3-4 ... 1-2-3 etc, in a forward looping sequence. Setting 1 will blink momentarily
whenever selected to make it very easy to determine where you are in the sequence, and which setting has
been selected.
The factory default light settings are;
1. low flood - hands and knees caving !
2. high spot - route finding in large passages
3. medium flood - general progression around cave
4. high spot & high flood - if you really must !!
Side LED and Battery Charge Level Indicator
The v42 has a separate side LED (white smd LED) for maximum run time, and battery charge level
indication visible without removing helmet. Operating the switch very quickly, on-off-on ('double
switch') will turn on low power side LED. At this point, the main LED will blink 1 to 5 times to indicate the
approximate level of battery charge. 5 blinks indicates fully charged and 1 blink very flat. The light is visible
underground, on the back of your hand, such that battery condition can be determined without the
inconvenience of removing your helmet. The battery level indicator is set for 4xAA cells (Ni-mh or alkaline).
The side LED will continue to operate until the lamp is next switched off. This low level light is well suited to
underground camp, expedition, small passage caving, long prusiks and emergency.
3 second mode memory
The v42 features a 3 second 'first' mode memory. When lamp has been on for more than 3 seconds in any
setting and is switched off, then it will automatically restart at the first setting when next switched on.
This can be changed to 3 second 'last' mode memory (see module programming below). When lamp has
been on for more than 3 seconds in any setting and is switched off, then it will automatically restart in the
last used setting when next switched on.
