12. Switching Rigs
Switching your CYPRES to another CYPRES
ready rig will require only a few moments of work
for your rigger. If the container swap requires a
change in the number of release elements (cutters),
this can be done quickly on-site by unplugging the
old cutter and swapping with the required type
cutter (1-pin or 2-pin). It is not necessary to send
the CYPRES to the manufacturer. The necessary
cutter can be purchased at any CYPRES dealer.
11. Abbreviated User‘s Guide
Switch CYPRES on only when you are
at the dropzone on the ground !
When aireld and dropzone are at the same
place, always switch CYPRES off and back on
again when:
• CYPRES arrives at the dropzone by any
means other than under an open canopy (e.g.,
by car, or by walking back from landing
away from the dropzone.)
• total ight time (leaving the ground until back
to the ground) was longer than 1.5 hours.
If aireld and dropzone are at different locations:
• Before every jump, switch CYPRES off
and then back on at the aireld where your
aircraft takes off from, and change the drop-
zone offset as appropriate.
General recommendation: If in doubt, reset CYPRES
by switching it off and on again.
