6.3 EPD Clip Assembly
Depending on customer requirements, the EPD may (or may not) be fitted with a clip
assembly. The clip assembly comprises a lanyard plate and a spring clip, which
allows the user to attach the EPD to an outer garment (see Section 2.1.6).
The clip assembly is attached to the EPD by the lanyard plate. The lanyard plate
slots into a recess in the EPD case (see Figure 6.1). Retaining lugs secure the
lanyard plate in position.

The lanyard plate may not be fitted with the spring clip (again depending on customer
requirements) (see Figure 6.3). This makes the unit more comfortable to wear with
the lanyard, when the clip is not required. If the EPD is shipped with the spring clip
fitted to the lanyard plate it should be considered as an integral item. Removal of the
clip from the lanyard plate is not recommended.
