Getting Started
• To prevent the risk of electrical shock, do not use the Duplicator
2 outdoors when weather conditions are wet. Never operate
unit on a wet oor or work area.
• IMPORTANT - Before plugging Duplicator 2 into an outlet,
refer to electrical rating listed on back of unit to verify that
voltage is correct.
• If the Duplicator 2 malfunctions or is damaged, discontinue
use and unplug unit from electrical outlet. Contact an authorized
Conwin Service Center for details on how to receive service.
• Never attempt to repair the Duplicator 2 yourself. Opening the
Duplicator 2 case will automatically void manufacturer warranty.
Contact an authorized Conwin Service Center for all repairs.
• When using helium or nitrogen, always secure the cylinder in a
safety stand or wall bracket.
Hand-tighten the primary regulator to a helium or
nitrogen cylinder. (For Italian and Russian inators
use a wrench to tighten regulator.) Make sure the
cylinder is properly secured in a safety stand or wall
bracket prior to attaching the primary regulator.
Do not open the cylinder valve until Step 6.

Slowly open the cylinder valve. Make sure the
valve is fully opened. The cylinder pressure will
read on the gauge located on the regulator.
The inlet pressure will read on the second stage
regulator gauge, located on the back of the unit.

Connect the supply hose to the adjustable
regulator in the back of the unit.
Plug the power cord into the back of the unit and
into an electrical outlet. (A power strip with surge
protector is recommended.) The digital display
will appear when unit has power.

Latex Balloon Inflation
2 Options to Start Inflating
Option 1: Press the raised button marked “Push to Inate Latex
Balloon” for one-handed ination.
Option 2: Tap the foot pedal to begin the ination cycle.
When the system automatically shuts-off, remove the balloon
from the outlet without allowing any of the gas to escape.
Set the Adjustable Regulator
Reference the Latex Size Setting Chart to set the Duplicator 2 to
the appropriate pressure. To adjust the pressure, pull the setting
knob up to unlock. Turn it clockwise to increase the pressure
and the size of the balloon. Turn the knob counter-clockwise to
decrease the pressure and reduce the size of the balloon. When
the unit is set to the desired size, press the black knob down to
lock it in place.
Set the Inflation Time
Reference the chart (see right) to determine the appropriate
number of seconds required for the ination cycle. The digital
display will indicate number of seconds.
Inflating Latex Balloons
Place the balloon over the inating outlet. Slightly roll the
neck of the balloon over the inating tip. This will insure the
gas enters the center of the balloon and the round shape of
the balloon is maintained during the ination process. To
achieve consistent results, do not cover the opening of the
Extension Tips with your fingers.

Place the foil balloon over the inating outlet. Pinch the neck of the balloon
between thumb and forenger and press down on the outlet. Support the
foil balloon in an upright position to insure the neck of the balloon does
not fold over the outlet and restrict the ow of helium. When the balloon
has reached the proper pressure the inator will automatically shut off the
helium ow. Remove the balloon from the outlet and attach a ribbon and a
balloon weight.
60/40 Helium/Air Outlet Settings (optional)
Settings should be used as guidelines for the 60/40 Helium/Air
Outlet. The 60/40 Helium/Air Outlet is recommended for use with
11” or larger balloons. For maximum oat time on 11” balloons
with a 60/40 mix, use Ultra Hi-Float® with the purple restriction
clip on the Hi-Float® pump. Note: Float times may vary due to
altitude, environmental conditions, and proper balloon sizing.

Duplicator 2 Latex Balloon Settings Chart
Settings should be used as guidelines for the Duplicator 2. Please note that size
settings will vary based on user preference, balloon color and manufacturer. To
adjust the size of balloon to your individual preference, it is necessary to inate test
balloons.
PSI refers to the gauge located on the adjustable regulator connected to the back of
the Duplicator 2. The pressure setting controls the speed of ination.
SECONDS SETTINGS refers to the tenth of a second increment readouts on the
digital display on the face plate of the Duplicator 2.
Important: To insure consistent balloon sizing when using helium or nitrogen,
check the size of the balloons every 1/3 of a cylinder of gas. If necessary, increase
the size of the balloon by either increasing the time setting or the inlet pressure on
the adjustable regulator.
Recommendations For Use With An Air Compressor
Most air compressors are factory set to automatically cycle on at 90
PSI and automatically cycle off at 120 PSI. The Duplicator 2 must have a
steady supply of air or gas to produce equal size balloons. For accurate
sizing, it is essential to work within the limits of the cubic foot per minute
capacity of the air compressor.
Air Compressor Required Specications
• Primary Moisture Filter
• 20 Gallon Storage Tank
• Cycle Pressure: 90 PSI On - 120 PSI Off
• Compressed Air Availability: 6.5 Cubic Foot/Minute @ 90 PSI
Important Guidelines When Using an Air Compressor
• Compressor must build up tank pressure before inating balloons.
• The output setting on the air compressor should not exceed 80 PSI. If
the compressor is set higher than 80 PSI, the Duplicator 2 will out
perform the compressor’s storage tank capacity.
• After each job, blow down the compressor to remove water collected
in the tank during compression. The Dual Sizer will require factory
rework and recalibration if moisture enters its system.
• Power surges will affect the accuracy of the Duplicator 2-line voltage
must be steady at 120 volts. Use a power strip with surge protection.
Close the cylinder valve or shut
off the air compressor.
Release the pressure from the unit by
pressing and holding the Foil Outlet until
all of the gas has escaped. Disconnect
the supply hose and adjustable regulator
from the back of the unit. Remove
regulator from the cylinder.
